and 73, i had talked to patrick about this idea a little before, but it was actually musicman that said something recently and made me decide to start it up

MusicMan

All submit one, I'll have to play with it when I get back. Got an idea, just have to see if I can make it work. Why's this in exterior?

SpecterGT260
07-24-2008, 11:57 AM
the most fitting place I could think of.... we dont have a chop shop, and the onlything car related i mentioned was decals.... = exterior. i dunno [&o]

MusicMan

Works for me

SpecterGT260
07-24-2008, 12:00 PM
plain ones work too. if we could just find some tasteful yet bitchin fonts and just do "Camaroforums.com" we definitly need some

MusicMan
07-24-2008, 02:56 PM
Here's my first batch, still working on it, have higher res available.

okay is it possible to have different pics every time the website is refreshed?
like visit it once and you have a 1st gen SS, then visit it again and get a 4th gen Z28, and so on and so forth?

th3po1son
08-16-2008, 11:53 PM
okay so heres the logo i thought would work well.
kinda plain.
oh and this is the REAL camaro font so im gonna have to use another font that is close. just for illustrative purposes for now.
i also put in a pic of my car (since its really the only pic i have permission to use) to show the idea of having the webpage banner change to a new car every time you refresh.

I found our current banner, this is what I'm using in the poster:

steve just change those logos you made awhile ago for or now failed club,i allways thought they were badass.

08-19-2008, 01:37 AM
musicman the first one you posted is bad ass, for the tshirt design i dont think it would make a difference if the years were there or not, and there is no such thing as a 2009 camaro, i did like the second banner design you did as well

did this idea go down the drain? cause if not i would definately order one of those and put it across my trunk lid window, that would be nice!!! and i like the way thepoison did the website thing, it would look great even without the pic

SpecterGT260
09-24-2008, 08:55 PM
no, its definitly still there. some forum problems have slowed it down. post up ideas guys

MusicMan
09-24-2008, 09:04 PM
Hey spec, my first entries are no good now, I had to reformat my hard drive due to a virus, and forgot to pull the high res files for those. Those are the biggest I've got.

Good news though, I just got a font pack with 2500 fonts, so I'm making another one.

jamguitarist91
09-24-2008, 09:10 PM
sweet, yeah i've been having problems a lot lately on here... i'm ny good with computer stuff, i cant even photoshop... but still i think this idea is great

MusicMan
09-25-2008, 04:22 PM
I think you guys are gonna like what I'm almost done with. I found that font again, but modified the colors a little bit.

MusicMan
09-25-2008, 04:23 PM
:) I really like this.

Are we still doing this?

SpecterGT260
10-25-2008, 03:58 PM
yeah, we need a little more participation before we can set up an official download page. plus, we need tow ait for the update before we do that because who knows if it will carry over. this thread will survive along with the pics, so well just resume our competitions upon upgrading

MusicMan
10-25-2008, 04:45 PM
I hope we get the upgrade soon. This place needs to be updated a little bit.

SpecterGT260
12-16-2008, 02:41 PM
yes. hey musicman. I have started an invite only fquick group for CF.com members. wanna make something in the proper dimensions to show our awesomeness?

MusicMan
12-16-2008, 04:27 PM
What's the dimensions? My fquick is musicman btw.

I'll have to make it all over again, my laptop went down again a month or so ago, and I couldn't save the desktop files.

SpecterGT260
12-16-2008, 04:31 PM
its roughly square. i uploaded ur one pic already, but it shrinks them so its very small due to its rectangular shape. just whip something up for it. uve already gotten an invite.

MusicMan
12-16-2008, 05:32 PM
Will this work? Or should I make a few more changes? I think that the pic will be 150 pixels wide, this is 200, so it'll shrink a little bit.

SpecterGT260
12-16-2008, 05:45 PM
maybe emphasize the camaro forums part. it shrinks so much you cant really see much, so small written details will be lost (like the years and dark parts)

MusicMan
12-16-2008, 06:09 PM
This should be actual size. It's hard to work with something so little, is this better? I think it's kinda plain, but if I add much more, it gets cluttered.

MusicMan
12-16-2008, 06:11 PM
brightened up the badge a little bit

SpecterGT260
12-16-2008, 06:15 PM
nice. of course that one wont work for the FORUM, because of the chevy owned symbol, but on fquick it will do nicely :)

SpecterGT260
12-16-2008, 06:16 PM
that and it needs to be jpeg or gif..... fquick is way too picky about file formats...

MusicMan
12-16-2008, 06:19 PM
wat. Ok, but I hate jpeg, blurs things up a little. Gimme a second.

alright, lets get this going again, and in its NEW HOME!!!! welcome to the CHOP SHOP!

MusicMan
01-17-2009, 08:30 PM
WOOHOO! But dang at the same time. The last one I submitted is the highest res I have, thanks to another virus I got. Can you find out what dimension is needed? That would be helpful.

SpecterGT260
01-17-2009, 08:37 PM
u mean for fquick? I think ill prune this thread eventually to consolidate evertyhing. dont worry too much about fquick, lets just get some neat CF.com graphics that everyone can use.

MusicMan
01-17-2009, 08:40 PM
No, for here. My pics in post #23

SpecterGT260
01-17-2009, 08:43 PM
so what is your question then? you cant change resolution? the dimensions can be whatever you want them to be. lets just get creative.

MusicMan
01-17-2009, 08:52 PM
Alright, then my submission still stands I guess. I'm working on re-doing it so you could have the photoshop file if I win. Then you could do whatever with it. The hard part is finding that font again. But I might change it.

Im not a big photo shop guy but i like the last one from musicman. Very plain and clean representing all generations with out discrimination.

01-18-2009, 07:08 PM
Congrats on the update! I'll definatley be around more because of it. Here's my stab at an emblem, a member here might recognize one of the pictures, sorry but I couldn't find a satisfactory third gen pic from Google images :p
What do you guys think?

SpecterGT260
01-18-2009, 08:09 PM
that looks good

hascet
01-18-2009, 08:12 PM
Thanks, but I was thinking it probably wouldn't work to well as an emblem since it couldn't be made into a sticker or put on a t-shirt.

cplthomas
01-19-2009, 03:44 PM
I would participate, but you called me a crybaby so no.

SpecterGT260
01-19-2009, 04:40 PM
who called u a crybaby? stop being a crybaby about being called names and pitch in!

cplthomas
01-19-2009, 04:45 PM
Oh, all right. Give me some time to come up with something.

shawnathan
01-19-2009, 10:16 PM
is there a reward for best?? :P

shawnathan
01-19-2009, 10:17 PM
oh and I think it sould be something that could be put on like a badge for your car like the z28 emblem

SpecterGT260
01-19-2009, 10:25 PM
it can be anything. eventually we can group them together into banners, printable logos. I can make an entire section in the forums showcasing this, or we can put it in an album. lots of possibilities. just get to chopping!

MusicMan
01-19-2009, 11:30 PM
I'm trying to make something new, but I'm having problems finding a font I like more than the one I picked. I'd like to make something more universal, without a reflection. (so it could be used as a vinyl decal, if wanted). I'm also trying to use as few colors as possible, so shirts could be made. My current submission looks nice I think, but I'm not 100% satisfied with it.

MusicMan
01-21-2009, 07:53 PM
I just had an epiphany (sp?) Got a completely new idea that I'm working on now.

MusicMan
01-21-2009, 09:15 PM
http://i291.photobucket.com/albums/ll291/musicman_sax/CF-logo-badge.jpg

Still working on it. This is much better than my last submission in my opinion. I'm modifying it to show you what I mean. With this basic setup, it will be easy to make shirts, stickers, and decals. I'm putting it on a shirt to show this.

MusicMan
01-21-2009, 09:32 PM
See what I mean? (this is the back of the shirt). You can limit it to 2 colors, which means cheap shirts.

I'm still trying to figure out what to do with the ".com", it looks out of place.

i like it

hascet
01-24-2009, 04:24 PM
musicman that's nice, that font is nearly identical to the Camaro font, but you should connect the cross on the a, it's easy and then it would match almost perfectly.

SpecterGT260
01-24-2009, 05:02 PM
.com could be centered underneath the whole thing?

i see what ur saying tho, it looks a little "thrown in there", but the overall is awesome.

or do this:
just the Camaro Forums the way it is.
and then put the whole www.camaroforums.com under it almost like an underline for the whole thing

MusicMan
01-24-2009, 05:47 PM
I like your last idea spec. I'll give it a try. As for that "a", I can't find a font that has the correct one. I could draw it, but it'll look odd. But I'll see what I can do.

MusicMan
01-24-2009, 06:11 PM
Hmm, it looks better. I'm trying to use as few colors as possible, the red looks ok. What I don't understand is why it looks different when you transfer it to a jpeg. The C and F are inset further than what shows. I don't want to plague you guys with slow loading png's, so you'll just have to imagine what I'm talking about.

SpecterGT260
01-24-2009, 11:38 PM
not bad.

once we get a few of these (which i like the size you are using, very versatile as far as uses go) I will make a sticky with all of them

and everyone is welcome to post pictures. the more the merrier. remember, these are mostly for people's personal use. we just need plenty of options

MusicMan
01-25-2009, 12:34 AM
I have the high res also, I think 1200 pixels wide or something. Is there going to be some kind of voting to determine the official one, or something like that?

SpecterGT260
01-25-2009, 07:48 PM
well, according to the OP i would just let staff decide which ones we wanted to keep on. its not a legitimate competition, and thus far the only "winning" we get is the satisfaction that people like ur work lol. that was mostly just a failsafe to justify rejecting anything that was complete crap. I WOULD be nice to see what other talent is out there too lol. but when i start to feel ambitious I will sticky the ones we have so far into an easily found download page. if you want to send me the better files I could always add them as attachments too

MusicMan
01-25-2009, 08:23 PM
Can you pm me your email? The png file I have is pretty big. 3200 pixels wide.

haha totally. I like musicman's idea. has anyone ever seent he competition diesel window stickers? they are just a plane jane font in white that say:
competition
diesel
.com
something like that anyways. there are nothing great but they are easy and affordable to make

EDIT: I'll see if I can't find some pictures of it, I know I have a buddy with one on his truck

wicked
01-27-2010, 06:11 PM
anybody ever come up with anything? i like what musicman did in post 62 i have very little glass since i have a convertible and i would love to just have what he put on the bottom of that image in red on my windshield

I like your last idea spec. I'll give it a try. As for that "a", I can't find a font that has the correct one. I could draw it, but it'll look odd. But I'll see what I can do.

So are you looking for the actual Camaro font? Cause I have it.. or what looks to be the right one anyway.

Btw, I didn't read the whole thread (just skimmed it) but your designs look good.

edit: NM that would be using a copyright without permission, wouldn't it.

wanted to participate..found the image on google, just clipped it and added some font. it keeps it quite simple actually
