can anyone help with this logo please?

[Robert Lambie]

hi mate, please load a jpg of the image as well as a working layers file as you are more likely to find more help when folk can see a visual. 😀

[Jill Marie Welsh]

Here’s the .jpg, too beat to doodle up anything.
I’m not keen on that font, especially slanted, but I know it’s getting popular again.
Love…..jill

I shall have a play tonight when I get a bit of time

[Ade Brown]

Nice one – Thanks

[Jill Marie Welsh]

Here’s what I came up with (and I know it doesn’t look like a motorcycle tire)
I think you need to emphasize his name, and that’s why he didn’t like the DRT thing.
Also emphasize tyre, as that is what he sells, and by adding a picture even someone who is illiterate can tell that they could get a tyre there.
This may look too "bikerey" but it’s just a suggestion. I left it in monotones as I was too lazy to add color. And I made mine just say "support" because I didn’t want to use the word "race" twice.
Nice one, Chris…I like how you made "tyre" stand out.
Love….Jill

Hi Jill

what fonts are they fancy a play!! not to sure on the Race Tyres font!!

Ade

[Jill Marie Welsh]

They are both Letterhead fonts.
One is Old Block (I think) and the other is Old Blackletter. That is a bit hardcore as a font and has very limited applications.
The Old Block used to be a freebie on their site but I don’t think it is any longer. You can probably find something similar on DaFont.
Love….Jill

[Hugh Potter]

i like that gothicy font Jill, very hoosier like, nice!

[Simon Strom]

Here’s my take. I stole a bit from Jill though. 😀 I used more of a raceway type of font. I wish I had more time to play around with this. I would like to have added some a rim, some crossed checkered rally flags on top and maybe to have done a banner on bottom with some copy in it similar to Jill’s (oops stealing again). I’m always impressed with what Jill can do in such short time too.

Hi Simon,,

I do like that one – i’d done one very similar lines but i quite like the fonts!!

i used caps for Drews, which i do have terrible habbit of using caps way too much (:)

Cheers

[Simon Strom]

The one that I used is called Lambrettista. I think it’s a free font. I had to modify the rule lines (see jpg), because the lines that are part of the font are straight and not curved. There were some other fonts that I liked better (Speedway or Magneto ), but they’re not free of course. I’m figuring since you’re doing this for a friend you’d like to keep it free as well. Anyway good luck.

Yes thats right

I use magneto for my corporate font!!

Can you send me an eps or ai file over – Think i will cut it and mount on some foamex give him a better perspective

Cheers

Ade

[Simon Strom]

Cool! Yeah, I liked that Magneto font when I saw it. Anyway, here’s an Illustrator 8 file. Let me know if you have any problems and I’ll re-post it.

hi

Thanks – do you want me to mail you the magneto font?

Ade

[Simon Strom]

Sounds tempting. I really like the font, but I feel guilty about swiping things these days. No offence. Thanks for the offer though. 😎 If you needed some layouts using it, it would be a different story. I have a few books from the guy that designed Magneto (Leslie Cabarga). Do a search for "Logo Font Lettering Bible" by him. It’s really really good.

[Steve Underhill]

Theres a font very similar to magneto called "Lakeshore drive"
thats free if you want it.

[Simon Strom]

Thanks Steve! I’ll put it in my arsenal. Downloading now.

[Steve Underhill]

Its not exact but from what i remember it in the same sort of style

[Simon Strom]

Yeah, looks very similar. Obviously the Commercial font has a little more style to it, but the free one will do very nicely. I’ll probably find a use for it somewhere. Thanks again.

[Glenn Sharp]

here’s my go…..not overly happy with the font but I haven’t got a great deal of choice on my laptop

[Steve Underhill]

Did this quickly in photoshop.
All drawn by hand no clipart used.
Obviously colour can be added but left it in greyscale for illustration purposes.

quote a brown:

The guy does race support at Motorcycle meeting but his main line is Tyre supply[/img]

is it motorcycle race tyres or car race tyres mate?

[Phill Fenton]

Loads of great ideas and inspiration, but I have to admit I really like Andy Gormans designs the best :thumbup2:

Very 3 Dimensional – and the main lettering has a simulated high gloss effect that works for me. How did you achive that Andy? (I’m guessing you put in a few graduated tints – or is this an eyecandy effect?)

[Steve Underhill]

one of the ways to do that, you could fill the letters with a gradient underneath solid red on a different layer then rub out some of the red to give that effect,
there’s tons of different ways to achieve that, no filters needed.
Simple but effective.

[Andy Gorman]

Just a couple of gradients. Eye candy is for girls! 🙂

[Steve Underhill]

Ha Ha, just as I said.
Filters like eye candy are ok in an emergency, but theres not many effects you cant achieve in the standard version of photoshop (if you know what youre doing) that you can in filter packs.

[Richard Urquhart]

Hi guys fair play on the use of filters but do you think on a time scale filters like eye candy is fast way to create great effects with speed or is it i just can draw!!!

no you just haven’t master the right tools yet.
look for a demo by stevo on chrome lettering using corel that will give you a clue

chris

[Steve Underhill]

[Ade Brown]

Hi Rob – its for motorcycle tyres
