Default help me design my car

alright guys and girls, i need help. as some of you know, i'm a transformer/autobot freak, and my car shows it. well, it did, but 2 of the 3 decals have been lost. the large back windshield is getting put back on soon, but i want something different than what i had on the sides. maybe bigger, tilted, slanted, crossing panels/doors or SOMETHING...below there is a link to a photoshop file that has the autobot symbol on it's own layer over my car. if you wanna help (play), download the file and fool around with it (click Layer 1 and then ctrl+T or Apple+T to manipulate the logo), and save a jpg of it. email it to me or post it for me to see... thanks!

Okay...Now this is pretty much what I can come up with. If I knew what kind of money you had to work with then I might design something more elaborate but on a tight pinch of money you could probably make this out of a good quality decal sticky paper crap.



It's not that great but hey I spent like 5 minutes on it. The writing is katakana which is Japanese. It is reads out as "autobota". Long story short, katakana is the alphabet to introduce words into their language that are not originally Japanese. Hirigana-standard alph. Kanji-word symbol system and Katakana-foreign word system. Just something for all you who don't know too much about the Japanese language. Phorq, I reassure you that the writing is not really Japanese for "Dumba$$" or something stupid. If you let me know if you can do paint and stuff then I can design you something a little more complex. Also let me know what kind of colors you'd be willing to use. If orange is your thing then that's cool but I'm not too big on it. I hope this pic works as I haven't posted pics on here before. Sorry if it doesn't.

You posted your pic from your hard drive? Is that possible? Oh yeah, no spaces between the tags and the filename.

Here's Russ' idea... and no, i'm not against anything this elaborate at all. I just get concerned putting japanese writing on a korean car owned by some white dude... though, i like the design a lot... hmmmmm

Idea: What about no stickers at all? Your car looks awesome w/o them.

Sorry man, but that made me laugh. lol

I'd say no stickers at all. Maybe one small one or something, but your car looks really good without them.

Hey Phorq...You just do what makes you happy. All I can say is at least it isn't a bunch of stupid stickers for performance parts that you don't even have like some dumba$$ ricer. At least you want to put a sticker on your car simply to let everyone and their dog know that you like transformers. I personally think that if you like transformers THAT much then you should put like black lines throughout your car to make it even maybe look like a transformer. If you don't know what I'm sayin' let me know and I'll overlay them on that pic you sent me Phorq.

Well, that looks perty good, but I've got a few ideas...

1. Instead of Japaneese, figure out how to spell autobot in Hangul (Korean). If you want to, I can find this out for you here. Then you don't run into the Japanese/Korean car debate/ricerness.

2. How about a big "Transformerized" Crooked H. Then you could get a decal on the side that says "More than meets the eye". Or something similar? I think that'd kick.

3. You could always get a big Autobot bobble headded figure and stick it to your dash.

LOL
