    So kicking it around with the other members on how to find a new design and have it made "image ready for print/screen/plaques" ...we all agreed that the HAMB has alot of talent, and who better to design a car plaque than a fellow car guy or girl....so we are putting it out here...what we are looking for is ...a spade, some pistons, ahve it say GAMBLERS (of course) and Santa Barbara , spades, cards, wrenches, please no skulls or iron crosses....and last but not least...we insist that we will PAY YOU for your art! NOTHING IS FREE IN THIS WORLD...we plan on paying you for your art...so let the fun begin,, any questions or comments pm me...and when all said and done we will send you a plaque, if ya want. thanks...The Gambler.ps if you want to see our old plaque, look at my pics...and we want to keep it traditional looking..yet have a new custom feel...get my drift.

    But seriously, I don't think its too bad for quick and dirty and you could do the background with a sandblasted wood finish for effect. By the way, if you use it, you can even have it for free!

    Thank you! :D

    I edited my post with a second version... the dices were too small and the type-font bugged me.

    Vectors are infinite (zoom in/out) lines or curves in the drawing that are needed for making the plates. Images not made with vectors (=pixels) will make a final product of poor quality unless it's drawn really big, like 2 foot by 1.

    The drawings posted, just like pictures, are all made from pixels but I do have the vectors for mine. Also, I'm open to suggestions/critisism...

    A lot of logos are similar. Our logo and Hooligans logo look almost identical.

    That's exactly my point!;) I think it needs to be done with some imagination in mind, not just throw the name, a piston, and a wrench on it. :eek:
