Photoshop/Graphics/Logo Guys - HELP

Hey guys we are working on getting the stickers ready for the club, however the picture we have now is not in the best resolution to be made into a 2"X2" sticker, can anyone tweak the file below so that it can be printed as a 2"X2" sticker without being distorted, you will also have to add some small text to the bottom that says www.bctfb.com.

Thanks

ok well i do use photoshop as a living and u all do realize that this is a rectangle and ur putting it into a small square it really doesn't matter what u do its going to be distorted if u want the max space.

i vote that we make the sticker a simple 2x4 so we can get a proper rectangle to fit and have readable text on the bottom.



just a thought

I dunno where you got that logo from... but its basically the F-Body.org logo, and your looking to get in some serious legal issues if anyone brings up trademark licenses and such...

but I do love it

The logo was made by Ken from our club, (IrocZ383). I don't think there will be any issue with trademark licenses??? Someone please correct me if I am wrong.

I don't think there will be a copy right problem... most copy rights have a 10% limitation. That means 10% of the logo has to be diferant to pass under copyright laws.

I'll ask our patent trade marks lawyers and see what they say...

I don't think there is going to be a problem with the logo considering I made that logo from scratch back in Feb. of 2000.

hey JD I'll see what I can do with the logo, I still have all the original pics on my computer.

Ahhh, good good... the 10% should be fine then...

If you look at www.f-body.org you'll see how close it is to theres... and a few years ago GM threatened lawsuits and such against them and some others, but they were allowed to retain owership of that logo... as it encorperates the Chev and Pontiac sytles...

I agree tho, a perfect square it should not be...

thank you, i think we should really reconsider the size of the sticker... a square is not the way to go



2x4

I don't mind if it is bigger, just need someone to come up with a nice picture that can be used for prinitng, let's say at max 4X2, but if it can be done smaller than i perfer that. Now let's see some photshop skills

The best way to do it is to make the image big! As big as possible. Then when you shrink it to it to the 2x4 the resolution will be really high.

I don't think there is going to be a problem with the logo considering I made that logo from scratch back in Feb. of 2000.
Hey Rich! Don't steal all the credit!! We bot worked on it a lot! You just had more time than I did to find parts of it.

Sorry ken, how's this, I built the first image and ken edited the picture until It was perfect.

I was just thinking about the legal stuff and chances are that f-body.org doesn't have a patent on the logo because of the cost.

JD, I made three different sizes (2x2, 2x3, 2,4) as well as cleaned up the image. If you want me to change anything about them, i.e. font, size, color. just let me know.

thats better but... Keep in mind we changed a lot of the colours! Such as the bird and the silver trim and got rid of the chev logo and inserted the BCTFB. Oh and not to mention the flags!!! Put ssssoooo much work into them and they still don't look as three demensional as I would like it.

If only I had more time to play around with it...

I'm sure Talos will be able to wake it up really nice too though!!!
