Your layout is very nice. I would only suggest that you might want to create your layout over a whited out photo of the existing sign or recreate the shape of the sign as an outline to design within. Is the lion clip art? It's rather nice. It appears to represent a prestigious organization...

I second Firesprint. Great people to work with. By the way, great work on a super cool sign.

In response to the original post, I don't mind the name, although it's not something I would necessarily pick. For what it is, I like the logo, at least thus far. I'm curious to see a full color version of this. I would hope for a slightly more detailed dog icon and some great color that really...

Hey, OldPaint. 1972 wants it's design back. Maybe you should try a more classic approach and utilize some negative space. It's not just for road signs in passing.

I'll put it this way. Judging by the typeface used and the ampersand, it was similar enough that I immediately made the connection.

Okay, more or less exactly.

I've seen sooo much worse. Matter of fact, I think I'm gonna start taking pictures of some of the local hack jobs I run across and will post them here in the future. It will blow your mind.

Here's my contribution. 2 for 1 special.

On point or not, I don't understand this logic at all. Why trace by hand? It's much easier and far more precise to simply trace it over the top of the photo with your vector software.

The top line of copy appears to be ITC Symbol.

The bottom line of copy is Amerigo Bold.

Egads! The word disjoined immediately comes to mind.

That seems odd to me. Maybe someone else can better explain what's happening. In Photoshop you don't have to use transparencies to create gradients, as there is a gradient fill tool. When setting up a red to black gradient fill there should be no banding at all, at least not in RGB mode. Is your...

Or maybe this? Sorry, John. The uneven negative space between the top and bottom copy created by the lower case letters drives me batty.

Hey, hey, hey. Not too shabby.

I agree about the nozzle shadow looking unnatural. I would suggest a slight shadow running across the top length of the nozzle. Nozzles are slightly shiny and shiny things reflect things around them so you can get away with it. Another suggestion would be to outline the nozzle/pump handle with...
