Title: New MK & Beds Logo?...
Post by: FUBAR on October 20, 2005, 06:07:12 pm
Ok, this needs its own thread

It's been suggested that I try & create a Modified version of this sign:
(http://www.utahdoughnuts.com/Images/HotLight.jpg)
to read MK & Beds through the middle, this is do-able as I have found a flat front-on image of the sign.

Another alternative is a version of This sign:
(http://www.katu.com/news/images/stock2003/krispy_kreme.jpg)
Just without the background... Milton Keynes will fit very well into the top section of this, it could the have "& Bedford" written underneath...

What do you guys reckon?  I'll have a crack at both & see what I can come up with.

If we are going to use that flash site the neon sign might look better against the classic yank on the right hand side

*edit* might look nice with out the hot now just MK & Beds across the middle

if we have the top one we could do that with flash, i think we would need to versions one bright and one dull for it to work

That can be done. I wonder if you could set it to randomly alternate the 2 images so it would flicker like a duff striplight

I don't know if that could be done, but if you made the Gif long enough then it could appear to be.

I have just noticed that myself - the shame one doesn't - but it works when you click on the same image in the extended window (the ... if you hadn't noticed it)

I will fix this when I get a chance.

Ok, this is only a 1st draft as it needs some refinement but what do you think?

As I say it needs a bit of refinement but its getting there (http://www.aaci-beds.co.uk/forum/smileys/up.gif)  I didn't think i'd be able to do this one because of the angle & text complexity but it seems to be working.

Still some jobs to do on it (like make a broken / flashing version)  & as you mention it make a version with a black background (involves re-doing the Red "halo")  & generally tidying the text up a bit but i'm pleased with it so far (http://www.aaci-beds.co.uk/forum/smileys/cool.gif) (http://www.aaci-beds.co.uk/forum/smileys/OrigGlazed.png)
Title: New MK & Beds Logo?...
Post by: Jamieg285 on October 24, 2005, 03:32:46 pm
Very nice, but I think Beds deserves equal billing. How about MKB in large Letters across the middle, and 'Milton Keynes' in the curve and above, and 'and Beds' in the curve below?

I might try to find a bit of time to have a go at an idea myself.
Title: New MK & Beds Logo?...
Post by: FUBAR on October 24, 2005, 03:45:35 pm
Yeah I appreciate that the Bedford bit is smaller but replacing Krispy Kreme with Milton Keynes was too much of a gift to ignore as it fits so well

Also Jamie with you're idea I'd probably have to use a font to create the new text, doing it as I have so far has allowed me to cut & paste sections of text & letters to create the wording.  This keeps as close as possible to the original look.

Post by: 55starchief on October 24, 2005, 03:47:42 pm
why not put and bedford in the outer circle? then you might be able to increase the text size
Title: New MK & Beds Logo?...
Post by: FUBAR on October 24, 2005, 03:52:02 pm
That is also a realistic option (http://www.aaci-beds.co.uk/forum/smileys/grin.gif)

Looking good . . . . I Think it needs something at the top and bottom . .  

Ooooo.

What about "MKB" at the top and "WE ROCK !!!" down the bottom ?

Also I think "AND BEDFORD" needs to be in a slightly bigger font. (http://www.aaci-beds.co.uk/forum/smileys/cool.gif)

I've got a free evening tonight!! (http://www.aaci-beds.co.uk/forum/smileys/shame.gif) so will have another go at this, I'd thought about the "MKB we rock!" idea too (http://www.aaci-beds.co.uk/forum/smileys/up.gif)

will see what I can do with the poor little bedford bit.

I DO think the logo used for any T-shirts etc. . .  should be a face on view though.  An angled view like that on a T-shirt wouldn't come-up too clear . . . .
