I like it as well, but the issue is that it has a drop shadow around the lettering which is a BIG part of why it looks so good. Doing a gradient like that on vinyl...$$$. Like I said, open to suggestions. Take the drop shadow off of the one Streetspec suggested & see how it looks. The roundel can go on mine, too BTW.

hey mate. for me, its not about the gradient or the shadow, (i'd actually like it in single color) its just the clean look of the lettering. Not trying to be a difficult prick, lol, must just be the typographer in me. hehe. :rolleyes:

What is the font used in the the banner one?

Well, I have no problem with the site logo in single color, or simply w/o the shadow. I have no idea what the font is that was used.

PLease bmw man jsut pick a fookin set and print em or they will never get done

A forum i am a member off called http://www.e30zone.co.uk also did polls etc and that like we have done here to determine the best sticker design etc.. it was all very civil and that but a decision was never made and it was over two years before one of the mods just made his own, simple design and got it printed an then it still took 3 months to ship them out. dont make the same mistake guys, i would love some of these stickers for my car but dont keep everyone waiting for years! (not moaning etc)

good luck! ps il take 2 or whatever!

Alright, we are going to use the forum logo, in the colors it stands in right now (minus the shadowing and roundel). It is the simplest, and will raise the least opposition from those that want something simple & a little more 'classy.'

I will message Sheepdog to see what font that is, and have him make one that can be 5cm H x 26cm W in 300dpi. Then we will see about getting these made up.

It is probably doable for some price. It may be cheaper to send yuo a high-res copy of the image & have you find a local printer. We shall see when that time comes though.

sounds great to me I'm in

OK, the font the site one is in is Futura Condensed, a font that has to be purchased (its $22 per font...$22 regular, $22 italic, $22 bold, $22 etc). Man, I remember the days when you could get like any font for free. Fockers. This one was a free one called Blue Highway that I liked. So, I guess if nobody here has Futura then how's this?

StreetSpec_iS · « **Reply #25 on:** July 05, 2006, 11:03:51 PM »

let me consult the Daddy eMac when i get home. Futura sounds familiar.

Eurospec · « **Reply #26 on:** July 06, 2006, 12:58:28 AM »

I might be able to get the font.

bmwman91 · « **Reply #27 on:** July 11, 2006, 11:53:58 AM »

Alright, I 'got' the font.

Here is a sample (dont have PS at work, had to screenshot MS Word lol).

Time to get stuff rolling! I'll make a PSD when I get home and adjust the kerning so the letters are closer together.
This is Futura Condensed, and Futura Condensed Extra Bold. I think we are sticking with the extra bold.
