Any progress on the Zonda? I think we should have some special logo for his name to put on the helmet!

I don't know if classic style is the way to go with that? I think I will propose something in the next few days. Maybe then viperbond's sister can edit it to 2d or something.

What do you think?

I'd like a Cevert type paintjob with HAMMOND in white on one side, and Hamster on the other, and then the Zonda on the back.

so far, it looks like a full face helmet with a custom vinyl of a "racing" hamster on a convert. Zonda. And perhaps a Tshirt and mouthpiece?

hopefully, everything makes the cut! images/smilies/wink.gif

Alright, my sister just handed me her versions.

First, her cleanup of the previous version (shrunk down for posting here):

Second, her take on what we should put on the helmet (again, shrunk down):

Yeah, I personally like her's too. Simple, easy to make (some vinyl lettering and stuff), and a clean look.

Good stuff! images/smilies/thumbsup.gif

I like them both.

The top one seems to have a bit of a problem in that Hamster appears to be leaning and turning left, but the wheels are pointing to the right. (and IMHO, Hamster's gear doesn't quite match the type of car he's driving.)

I think she was going for an aggressive look or something. Dunno.

And here's the original just to remind everyone:

Yeah, as cool as the first one is, I think her new logo would just look better on a helmet. I also think he'd actually wear it (dunno if he would wear the other one).

And it just occurred to me that he can't talk with a full face mask helmet on. Is that really what we want to get him if we are trying to get him to wear it on the show?

WOW! That second one is so simple but just amazing. I think it would be better suited than the hamster driving the ZOnda simply because I think Hammond would use it more.
