I posted here a few days ago about my logo for ASPHERIC. It got loads of views but not many comments, just shows how uninteresting it was. The main feedback was that it wasn't too legible and had nothing to do with cars.
After much brainstorming me and a friend came up with this. I traced an R34 skyline, added 8 boxes equal in width to fit it, and then did my letters in there. I've tried thick, thin, wheels, no wheels, outlines, spoiler in the A or in the outline, etc.
Main issues:
- it's obviously pretty unneat and shaky because I'm using the paintbrush tool. if I use the pen tool, I'm struggling to curve it nicely. if I use the curve pen tool, it abruptly ends with a line no matter what I try
- the I is pretty stocky. I tried wrapping it around the wheel with the R, but then the letters weren't all the same width. I'm thinking of using a different car with more space in that area, but maybe there's a way to do it with this car?
- the spoiler is vague. again I think the best fix is to choose a different car with a prominent spoiler.
Any feedback kind or harsh is appreciated. If anyone can explain how to do it in illustrator too id be so appreciative. like I said in the last post, im familiar with it from past projects but I've always used it very basically and never had to do anything technical at all...
thanks!
