I just thought of something that might look really good for the logo. We could put a few pictures of our own cars alongside the "ScionXDForum.com logo, similar to the image at the top of the page. Just an idea, instead of having cars that no one owns, we could have some of our own up there!

Not sure how to incorporate pictures into the image, any ideas?

Photoshop y0. Want me to get on it I can... but I request that my xD be one of the ones up there. Just sayin'.

I know it looks like ass because I used GIMP and my touchpad, can't find my mouse right now... but ya...

Here you go.
If anyone whose vehicle is displayed does not wish it to be there, let me know and I'll take it out.
I just pulled random images from users that have uploaded... that and it was really what came up after I hit refresh on the main site that show random images. Plus some of the skin a scion images from the competition that was on DA.

Again, I apologize for my shitty photo editing skillorz.

Let me know what you think! I can edit size and change images around if you want it to be banner sized like the current one is... but it would take away from some cars... it's up to you guys, I can do whatever... but I only do a little dabbling in photo editing... if someone else is a pro at this kind of thing feel free to step up cause I am a beginner at best.

Chris you seem to have a good handle on this. I would say to keep experimenting with the ideas you have presented, and maybe we can have a vote when we get enough ideas from you and everyone that puts in a design.

07-20-2009, 04:24 PM
Sound like a plan...

Everyone else feel the same way about the graffiti logo?

I could make up several different things.

Shaggy
07-20-2009, 05:03 PM
The only thing is it needs to be thinner, almost the same size as the banner we have now. Can you do something like this? HOw about taking a few cars, the url text and cutting them out with a white background so it fits the existing one for now?

White BG? lol... too easy, would make it easier if it was black or something... But I'll work on it.

Katch's isnt bad but can we tone down the extra colors?
as for the vinyl, can someone do sometype of outline of an xD and include that with the graffiti writing somehow? kinda like how infinity had the commercials with the FX where it was an outline of the car only...

katchkillah
07-22-2009, 02:56 PM
rofl, what no colors in graffiti? jus' playing. that was my only artwork i could find last night. but i'll try more later this week or if not try sneak um at work.

Cylon_xD
07-26-2009, 05:35 PM
hey, if anyone wants to incorporate this xD outline into their design, maybe for a vinyl window decal like I was working on, you're welcome to it, I have it in a high res image about 4000 x 2000 pixels, so I can scale it down to any size you need and send it to you... I was envisioning putting the scionxdforum.com text across the body of the outline, but have the text stick out on either side of the outline image by an inch or two... would be good for a one- or two-color window decal... I just don't have the proper editing software or fancy fonts to work with this any further...

TheLittleDeviant
07-27-2009, 11:02 AM
^^^ outline is good on that guy Troy, maybe skip on the windows? That way it is just the outline of the xD? Then some graffitti styled text and we have out vinyls.

What does everyone think?

TheLittleDeviant
08-04-2009, 09:09 AM
sounds like a plan then, KatchKillah do you think you could send over the font to one of us so we can get some vinyls made up?

SciFion
08-04-2009, 11:27 AM
Once we decide on the design, I have someone that can probably do the vinyl. She's doing the vinyl on my RS1 bodywork right now and if it comes out good I'll approach her on it. If not we can always get Rip Graphix from the Scikotics site to do them.
