Just had a thought.. would anyone be interested in creating a decal pack with logos we've created for our LFS skins? For instance, it could include my 'Keon Technologies,' and 'Unknown' logos, and Bunta's 'Owl Helmets' logo. Could also throw in some of the remaining LFS sponsors that we do not yet have. Just a thought

Just a thought I've thought about this before and Grey Fox brought it up too. I have about 20 custom logos that I have designed myself and Fox, Ian, Al and others have made some too, but I'm not sure people will really use them since they aren't real and are not from LFS either. I suppose it wouldn't hurt to try the idea out.

Well i dont know about other people, but i like sticking a custom decal on a skin every now and then. I think this is a good idea.

TBH, I like using fake brands in LFS. Ironically, to me, it makes it more realistic. It fits in with the LFS universe that way; I think the Castrol and Intel sponsors do not fit in tbh. ATL I can live with because I've never heard of it so to me it seemse fake Any other sponsors that are real in LFS - I've never heard of, so its the same as with ATL Even if others don't use the pack, I'd use it, I'm sure you Bunta and Fox would use, Dan has interest as well. I think it's worth a shot I need a little more variety in my secondary/tertiary sponsors too All of my logos I have in high-res aswell (1500-2000 pixels I believe). I have a couple different colour variations, too. Now the question is, who will compile it all? [EDIT] Also, Bunta, which logos from LFS are not out yet in your packs?

Also, Bunta, which logos from LFS are not out yet in your packs? Donbikes Engexx (turbos) XR Autosport (Advanced Motoring Group?) Torro (tyres) 3DGE (car cooling systems) Cocopine White (rum) Ice White (lager) Carribair (airline)

Whereabouts can te Donbikes logo be seen? I recall the name but I don't recall seeing it anywhere. Other than on the tires themselves, is there a Torro Tires logo afoot in the game?
I can make an attempt at a few logos, I'd like to throw Torro tires on a car aswell as Engexx turbos, and XR Autosport. (Presumably related to the XR GT, GT Turbo and GTR?)

Ficticious ones I've made up for some of my own skins are Noxid injection and of course the Racetek brand. I did a few more but can't recall them atm. They are sort of personal, being made up myself for my own skins so I would prefer leaving it for others to come up with their own brands to use on their own creations rather than use other people's ficticious ones.

I agree on both sides here. AL has a strong point and I agree with the fact that it would help become a better skinner if you made up your own brands. But on a side note if there are logo's and such that people don't mind sharing then put them in a pack. Because maybe somebody can make an awesome skin using a logo say bunta, teazr, fox ect. created. So I think we should have a logo-pack out because it helps the ideas flow through our heads and sometimes it helps if you need help filling a space on the car like a bumper or side pannel and you dont want to use any of the same decals as one did in the past. I give it a go!

I can make an attempt at a few logos, I'd like to throw Torro tires on a car aswell as Engexx turbos, and XR Autosport. (Presumably related to the XR GT, GT Turbo and GTR?) The original Engexx logo is a strange font (like barbed wire or something) and is a very blurry image. I am reluctant to reproduce it because I can not be sure of accuracy. Eric once told me that he didn't mind if I took a bit of liberty with the designs and he wasn't too worried about accuracy, but having said that I don't want to make something that is just wrong. I redesigned the Engexx logo completely and sent an email asking for permission to use it but that was one of those times when the devs were too busy to reply (happens sometimes) and so I didn't recieve an answer, didn't release the decals. If someone can find the same font that is used in the Engexx logo I will have an accurate reference to use for making a high quality version. Engexx can be seen on the file: HGA_ADS1.ddsDonbikes is another one with a strange font and the original is also too blurry to use with any confidence about accuracy. So that's why I haven't made that yet. Once again, if someone can show me the font I will know exactly how to make the logo. Donbikes can be seen on the file: ADS12.ddsXR Autosport is actually a very easy one and I haven't made it yet because it just looks like text and I didn't think anyone would be challenged reproducing it for their skins using the right font. I'll probably complete it soon though. I redesigned the Carribair sign for Fern bay and drew a nice plane to go with it but the stretching on the billboard is extreme and distorts the detail of the work. Cocopine and Ice White should be easy, but being alcohol references haven't been keen about making or using them.

The Donbikes font looks familiar, I'll have a peek through my fonts as I might have it actually. I'll have a snoop around and see if I can find something like the engexx logo.

I haven't found the Donbikes font on my system, and haven't come across it on the net, yet. Nor have I found the engexx font (or similar).
Are you still up for a little pack of custom logos Bunta?
[EDIT] Oops, sorry for the double post.

Are you still up for a little pack of custom logos Bunta? Yes, think so. There are not enough logos from LFS to provide the variation that is needed between any two skins and so some extra ficticious logos could be useful for those who make a lot of skins.

I like the idea of a skin pack of ficticious logos. It would be good to see what people come up with. I have made a few myself, one Idea I admittedly pinched from the Pantera videos (Maypop Tyres), and most of my ficticious sponsors are in a similar vane. e.g. Not at all serious! I might revise some of my current ideas as the logos are pretty crappy at the moment. I will post some up in the near future, and if they're good enough to be part of the pack -Awesome!!
