    sorry for the pixelation...the fonts are from the lettersetter at low res.

    He can and does build anything. His passion is in vintage race-style cars and one-off bodies.

    I took the easy route and searched "Art Deco Font" on Google, and of the many sites it took me to, this one is the most intriguing...

    http://www.fontspace.com/category/art+deco

    on this site, you can type in what you want to say, like "SERET SPEED & CUSTOM"
    and it will load those words into each font, so you can look at each one with the words you want...

    I personally (for what it matters) like the following:
    Niteclub, Nadall, BettyNoir, Diehl Deco, and RIGHTBANKFLF

    Check it out...
    pretty cool...
     
  5. in lieu of the vulcan death grip nothin but love , looks great man!
     
  6. Dig the beginnings of the logo...SLIDE nailed it...you're gettin' close....

    I think your logo design looks very good. But it is YOUR avatar that is disturbing.....damn!

  9. Definitely like the curved look of the top of the crest better than the straight line. Gives it some life.

    Me too.
     
  11. The simplified race car illustration highlights and shadows might look good with a faceted font (the light sourcece is wrong, but you get the idea), the bottom is Lionel Classic, from Font Bros. with lots of extra space.

    Just adding my go at this into the mix. Maybe it can spark some different ideas.

    this one is better but it just does'nt get me excited. well, this one does more than the other. i do dig this font... those color posters are pretty badass. might be a little more "busy" than your looking for but maybe something in between those and what you have... just a thought.

    I like your logo KIRK!, so much so, I did a super-kwikee as to what I think would make this logo even better....

    You're a brave man for asking 3 bajillion HAMB'rs their opinion!

    I like the illustration. I like the rest, all of them, as well. I know, not much help.:)

    I would like to see it in a series of different colors too.

    Please do something with the nipple on the bottom, it makes it look like a cartoon caption bubble.

    Logo looks great and Matt is a super kool guy. I stopped by his shop a few weeks ago and he dropped what he was doing to yak it up with me. I hope it wasn't one of your parts he was working on Kirk. I'd had to slow up progress on that beautiful little modified you've got going.

    I like it, but I am trying to steer clear of Steve's look.

    Very similar to one of the versions I'm currently messing with.

    Anchorsteam is the font.

    Something condensed and bold for "SERET"... like 2/3 the height of the tire and tweak the hell out of the kerning. Then super thin script with oversized caps for the "Speed and Custom". Something like what I did in my Spun logo? (see my avitar) But small - you should almost have to look for it.

    And fuck symmetry for the overall shape. Echo that top edge of the grille for the shape at the top of the logo.

    I think a little color could go a long way......some of these fonts, combined with the grill of the streamliner, are a bit "confusing" for the eye when in B&W. Making the image more "busy" than it really is....does that make sense? Kinda like those images that you stare at and see "other" stuff, ya know?
     
  30. That little dose of color really brings this logo to life
