The red/orange in the forum would be changed to true red to match the logo.

And I kinda like the red/black/silver combo myself.

There's nothing "ricer" about carbon fiber at all!
Carbon fiber would also be hard to get it to go all the way across and line up. I think we could do a repeat of the image across the screen and just have the logo and everything else have a transparent bg perhaps...

Glad you've gone back to the Porsche font - that Ferrari one just didn't work for me at all. Keep it contemporary people!

Ferrari one is too... Ferrari. I like one that's more generic.

I didn't say the Ferrari font didn't look good, but as I said, it's too... Ferrari.

No, it's not easily recognizable as the Porsche font, to me at least.

to me too honestly, and this is why I don't like it, it's not recognizable, so what's the point?

there are tons of font that could look better then.

thats the real porsche font in case anyone was wondering.
ignore the big black porsche wheel cap, my cam sucks.

i also included a few other interesting fonts taken directly from the automotive world (obviously) so it might be good for ideas.

The point is, we aren't setting out to copy other's designs. We're here to be original.

From what I've heard it's too much of a fuss to hassle with Ferrari's trademark font and style. I think it will be better to use the porsche font. It is sleeker and not as obvious. I also think it projects a sense of racing in some sort of way. I like it.

Also, bring back that motion blur effect that we had on the stick. That worked REALLY well. It made perfect sense, I really don't know why we got rid of it! images/smilies/wacko.gif

I liked it - I know Renesis was opposed but then again, he opposes a lot of good ideas images/smilies/tongue.gif

It made sense for the gear lever to be shifting into final gear.
