ok !!!!! LETS SEE IF THIS WORKS, if it came out , I couldn't load the original
one, so I had to take a picture of it off the computer , sorry but like I've said
before I 'm not good with the computer, I was going to see if I could emailed to denny so he could put it on for me , sorry denny but you seem to lots about
this things,,,,

Here's a fairly quick design I put together, using a few simple effects on the text to make it stand out a bit, and using hot rod style fonts. It kinda looks a bit odd, with the curve of the main text, and the angle that the car is on, it looks as though none of it is centred or lines up, but it does. You kind of have to look at the image as a whole for it to look right, instead of focusing on one element at a time.

I also put it on a T-shirt design just to see how it would look. I'm open to any comments and criticism, or suggestions for colour changes, I wasn't really sure what colours to go with. I may do a few more similar designs, but with different car pictures etc.

Anyway, here is my design.

Ok, here is my second design? There's no limit to the number of entries is there, because I might have a few more, but they're all basically very similar, just a different car or text position. For this one I decided to go a bit more straight lined, the text is no longer curved and everything is all quite parallel.

Here it is.


T-shirt.

I think I'll make this one my last one, unless I come up with some more bright ideas, because they all follow the same themes, and are pretty traditional, hot rod style designs I think. I guess it would have been nice to get a different car on there, but the kinds of cars I have chosen represent hot rods as a whole pretty well I think

Anyway, here's my design.



T-shirt.

Ok, I lied, here are a couple more! One with a '55 Chev, and another with a pretty cool Woody!

'55 Chev


T-shirt.



Woody


T-shirt.

Just for clarification, the designs I have posted are only really examples of the style that these banners or logos, or whatever they are, could be done in. The pictures I have used have come from stock photos website, and it just so happened that the best, high quality ones that suited what I had in mind for a particular design, were mostly of the roadsters. However, I did make the '55 Chev one, and the Woody one, just to show that any car can fit in there fine.

So I have created one last design, featuring many cars. I have taken the woody and the '55 Chev from before, and put a coupe in there, as well as a Mustang (though I think a Camaro would be preferable to be honest, represents muscle cars better in my opinion). But again, any car coudl go in there, it's just a matter of finding the pictures to suit.

Just a warning, it's a little bit larger this time.

I voted for your first design. However I really thought that it would have been kinda neat to have a number of cars revolving for the car shot on this web site. I myself having a 26 T coupe would like to have my own car on the shirt/hat. Each person wanting a hat/shirt would need to pay extra for their specialized version if they wanted it and their picture would be in the revolving.

I worked in a Print Shop with Silk Screen printing and graphic designing for 43 years so I kinda know what looks good; make it Simple and to the Point.

My designs are not really intended to be produced exactly as I have submitted them. I used those pictures as examples only, and it just so happened that the best quality ones I could find were mainly of Deuces. They're really only there to show the style I was aiming for with my designs. I wanted to use a drawing of the car to keep the number of colours fairly low, thus keeping the overall design simple, and in a sort of traditional hot rod style, which I thought was important if it were to be printed on a T-shirt.

Also, by using a drawing of the car, instead of a photograph, it ties it in better with the computer generated text and the effects placed on that text. It makes the design smoother in my opinion, by keeping it all simple and in the same sort of theme.

If my design or designs do get selected to be produced, then I would hope that there would be some discussion about the images of the cars used so that we can try to portray the correct image of the forum, as a club that is accepting of a wide range of cars. In saying that, I think it's important to keep it simple. I guess it's just finding the balance.

I hope all that makes sense.

Yes I agree with a Drawn version.

To have a Club Hot Rod shirt or cap with a drawn version of your very own car on it, whatever it is, would be to me so cool.

As an aside, you can make your own shirt with a picture of your own car on it. You go to a fabric/craft store (e.g. Micheals, Joann, or whatever is in your part of the world) and get blank sheets of iron on transfer material. Run it through your printer using whatever picture you have that suits your desire.

There's an idea, have the clubhouse produce shirts with a CHR approved banner/name and a blank space below to iron on your picture.

Here is another.....
