Help Needed. Customizing Silk For M25.

Post by Marcotah »

Hi Guys, This time I decided to customize my ponys.
Today, they looks like this:
http://phoenixphorum.com/one-pic-of-my- ... 14730.html

"I had" this Ideas to make it match themselves: (I really loved that Black/Gold M25 shown by Zak Davis (AAMP217)
Image

Or, I thought that could looks nice If I change this original Phoenix Gold "logo" to this one:
Image

About this last "logo", I really like this color matching (Pink/Blue/Black), so I thought that would be a nice color schem to make on the amp, with a brillint/reflexive black background with a blue"M" and all the little writing gone pink ("series II", "triple Darlington...").
What you guys have to say to me about it?
Can someone help me with photoshop mods on this pics? I'm feeling like I'm in the rock's age. I dont have Photshop software, also I don't know how to work with it.
Thanks!

Edit: OEM ArtWork ---------->

Whatever you do, don't do it to your ultra rare white one! Get another normal, blemished M25 instead!

I can help you out with the art, but Im a little confused as to what you want done? Do you just want the color scheme from the bottom one applied to the top (M25) logo? Or do you just need these in vector?

:clap: Yeah man!!! Thanks! It should be perfect!

What does it mean? Its like when you change the angulation, changing the colors? I dunno anything about it...
But if its what I think, It will be one of the 2 ways that I'd like to try.

Thanks man!

Anyone know what font was used? I can get it close, but I know you would like it exact. The image is pretty shoddy to live trace, so I would really like to get the font correct and just rebuild it.

helvetica is the name of the font you're looking for.
helvetica is one of the limited fonts that are manageable/desirable for desktop publishing/web designers and the like. it will not loose it's integrity when sized differently etc etc.

PRETTY damn sure about that- think OSF or was it OSG posted about that once before or was it someone else.

M

@FUZZY - Here is sample of western style looking font for an outlaw.
WHEN you have me do your covers fuzzy- perhaps you like this font?
happy to try the artwork gear i have for applying the artwork... i have the supplies but just have not had the time to run samples as of yet- BUT does look astonishingly promising (<- correct english? i doubt it).

YEAH artwork will have to be vector for silkscreens to be made- they need to separate the colors and make the dedicated screens for each color.- one of the deterrents for me when exploring the possibility of running/starting the screens for silk screening. may have found something else though... but haven't run any samples yet to try it out though.

Given i have all this in vector (plus tons more) as it is now... i could easily make up (using same font) any of this for any of the M-Series amps...
I will be bringing a laptop with me to china and it has AI CS3 on it- SO i am thinking i may have ample time to get artwork prepared - we'll see anyhow, that's the intent anyways.
