yeah, it doesnt look that way in person, the flash made it seem much much worse than it really is, plus/and it's a touch screen so I cleen one morning, by lunch time it's back to looking all tussled with... I have a screen protector on it at least.. but what can I say.. sitting in there, you dont see all that... I was surprised when i looked at the pic's on computer, i said the very same thing.. yew, yuck....

accesses it booting up, and it is the "desktop" image behind in background for the navi screen and the A/V screen.... If I play a CD, and hit the hide button... it shows it in full, otherwise if the album info is up then you see it in the background kinda like desktop screen image on your PC...

Now I could have a different image for the Navi screen versus the AV screen... but I just saved the one piece of artwork to disk just to see how/if I could do it... Took a lil work/doing in PS (photoshop and Illustrator), i.e. doing a lot of cleaning up of the image and stuff... But I now also have it vector which is nice as well...

some are okay some are better... at this point i like my avatar the best...kinda... i think .. well it's the one I was working with to get a feel for all of this stuff...

Sorry about delay... had to resize them, and then saw some clean-ups needed... still didnt get all/everything perfect with each and every one of them... but for the most part it's/they're done... I like'em ... Use for various things... screen savers, desktop images, etc... Of course these files have been reduced.... help yourself with these here... happy to help out...mh

These are just some sample files. I have more... and can make more... make more to certain/for/of certain colors if desired...
I like these and others I made...
if a certain color of something is what youre after just let me know...

If you need any help on the Photoshop/Illustrator work, let me know. I think the autotrace in Illustrator should have created a decent enough path with some slight adjustments.

For those of us that made the sale...... Did anybody notice the AWESOME roadster66 shirts some of the PG guys had on....????
For those not currently living in the motherland, It resembles a bowling shirt that screams hotrod shop.... Pretty kool looking...

Anyhow, I thought it would be pretty kool to get a shirt like that and have Matt's screen saver stiched into the back and other Ol' skool logos on the sleeves.....maybe the Phorum........ :hmm:

I have been toying with the PP logo artwork, and meaning to ask tom if he (you) had better artwork for the PP.com logo's? becasue just pulling off the web... live trace/PShop hasnt been doing well with it.

My Uncle in-law owns a ready-made garment business in Beijing, and have preliminarily spoken with him about maybe making up some shirts, jackets, hoodies, hats, etc.... as well... He makes clothing for 10 Deep, Acedemics, Five-4, and a lot of (mostly) clothing designers out of EU and Asia, etc... BUT, we would be able to get good pricing I think/know...

but need to get better artwork from Tom for the PP.com artwork... and we could then even get plexi's silk-screened and stuff with the artwork..

just FYI, you can kinda see it.. but on that first purple-ish logo/artwork i posted... It's kinda small so you dont see it so well... but with the real deal that I have here...wholly shit it's Fuckin' cool... the rca's have an embroidered texture to them I made up, and the background(Pshop) was a texture as well, and combining the two....shit... download it to you machine and see if you can zoom in... you can see somewhat the texture I ma talking about.. but the real deal, it is much more prominant.
