It's free and easy, although you will need to register again since it is a differant part of the site with differant software.
I like your logo!

Have them do a "negative" image of your design (the black is cut out). Then apply the vinyl, tape and shoot. Pull tape and vinyl and bingo you've got a logo on your truck. Follow that with clear and you're on your way.
You could also have the same place (possibly) put the image onto one of those flexible magnets. Then you don't have to permanently turn your truck into an advertisement.

I can't help you with painting your vehicle, but I can make your logo into a design to embroider (sew in thread) onto shirts for you to advertise your business. I can make an embroidery pattern right from the picture you have posted! If you are interested, reply back to me at this email address: [email protected] I own a small embroidery business in PA. I specialize in doing small quantities of unique designs that most embroidery companies don't want to be bothered with. My husband, CoachFrank, is a Stovebolter.

They scan the logo. That way they are easy to remove if you ever have to.

You should ask the artist for a (.ai) file. He can send it by email. Take that file to any vinyl shop and have them output to LOW TACK vinyl. Use the negative space in the vinyl to PAINT the logo on the doors (dont use the -gasp- vinyl itself). | | | | | Joined: Feb 2004 Posts: 60 Member | | Member Joined: Feb 2004 Posts: 60 | Speak of the devil!!!

I'm getting photoshop since its the program of choice for amatures. I'll be practicing, and when I decide for sure I'll have you look at the final draft and see what you think.
Kinda undecided if I want to try to incorp my son into the logo somehow.. (name, inside comment)
Thanks,

You may recall I am using a 'vectorial' program (Adobe Illustrator). Vectorial is based on X-Y axis (hence it is the type of mathematical files plotters use to cut vinyl...)
Photoshop is the 'primo' bit-o-software for photo re-touching, though.
