Across my work of art? Never! tongue.gif
Mmmm...the oval bezel can be smaller...but it's a definite "must have". As for the font...it would be better if to font was contour to the oval...in other words...it would look better if text itself was on a curved path, like what I have, rather than just boring straight across. Gives it some liveliness, rather boorish straight across text.
If Omega doesn't mind me using his text, I'll see what I can whip up. Though...if he could come up with the same text on a curved path, that would be great...though, that elongated "T" won't look too nice.
What is that font (if it is a font)? Can you send it to me through e-mail? If it's not a font, then nvm. tongue.gif

Just to give you guys what it would sort of look like...here are the examples:
Granted...the outside bevel and the two bevels around the shark would be made from aluminum and simply glued onto the C/F oval....and then possibly sealed behind polyurethane or whatever clear sealer is used.
The height of the bevels shouldn't be too large...the inner bevels (around the shark) would have to be shorter than the surrounding bevel. One could technically extract the chrome bevel from the crooked "H" and use that...if you could clean it up a bit and extract it flawlessly.
But enough babbling, here you go:

you know, i had made a few more... but its not even worth putting them up.... i like yours WAY more! awesome job, i hope they can be made
I also agree with the font change. and i dont know if this is just me or not, but what would you guys think of putting a crooked H on there too? like behind the shark, but over the carbon fiber. I did a rough version of it on my computer just to see how it looked and i actually kinda liked it. or should we not mess with perfection?

Those are rough drafts, just to let you guys know. I realized that there are some imperfections here and there....so if this design goes through with Ilanpro...then someone msg/e-mail me so I can perfect the image for a final draft.

Nice work if you can send me a copy of this in coreldraw or adobe illustrator I can find out the reality of having them done.

SUPER job guys!
Absolutely no doubtably my Favorite:
BADGE: ArcticChill's Black and white logo!!!!!!
LOGO: Omega's "editno2" except it should be circular shaped instead of oval... and we could have that on the main site! add some color, possibly have someone animate it to rotate or spin!
Just some support here. 8O
hmm the carbon fiber doesn't look too hot to me. it looks "ebayish" (not that there is anyting wrong with ebay, but you can get some pretty cheap replica fake-me out merchandise there) ... the CF is like a used up theme.
