Letraset instant lettering...how we miss it NOT!
I think I,ve still got a typescale somewhere. Anyone remember how to cast off type?
At least my pencil doesn't lock up twice a day.
ooh ooh PMT camera's!! A few years back me and a mate took my old studio's 40,000 computer controlled Agfa PMT camera to the tip...talk about old technology

hmm There are a couple of designers on the board (tho several are "only" web designers so care nothing for the traditional craft of typography), should we have a look at it too!! ![::)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/eyesroll.png) Although I'm a web developer/designer, I'm a typography geek too I should point out!

I like your second one Kelly (Wagoneer) although IMO it lacks symmetry...probably solved by an upper case 'C' or a lower case 'www.' at the beginning?

OK so I've just been looking through some old 60s and 70s mags for ideas... Check stripes were 'in', and 'empi' style double stripes feature a lot... The typeface of choice seems to be either Eurostile or distorted Helveticas (I think?)... I'm NOT a graphic designer but ten minutes in photoshop gave me these: ![](http://www.breakpoint.u-net.com/images/retrologos.gif) Simple, strong colours and distinctive (hopefully!)... Anyone like them/want to take them further? Oh yeah, I like yellow ;D

Good stuff Darren...as you know from my earlier efforts I think the chequered flag was suitably retro, and you're spot on about the Empi stripes. I've made some adjustments to yours and found another way around the capital R theory. I kept thinking the mix of capitals and lower case made it look untidy - so I used a different way of 'picking out' the Rs whilst still keeping the logo neat. ![](http://muchos.co.uk/members/rmad/rr4.JPG) Black and white should go on most cars? Two colour should make it easy/cheap to produce. Opinions?

Now THAT I like!
Looks JUST like a 60s/70s advert that you'd see in the back of Hot Car or CCC... Superb!

Darren and Rmad, (and everyone else!) good work,.. I'll take the retro car advert style and give it a modern twist (a bit like our cars ![;)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/wink.png) ) ,.. Wagoneer I really like your red and yellow square one! Big Brother will get back to you.....

Yeah, that's cool...maybe if you used my trick to enhance the two 'R's? I do prefer it without the lower case.
Best so far IMO.
