Author Topic: New MK & Beds Logo?... (Read 3556 times)

Ok, this needs its own thread

It's been suggested that I try & create a Modified version of this sign:

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:

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

I Like the idea of flashy neons . . . . Purdy.

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.

That I can do

Sounds too testical to me

Have you noticed that not all the Smilies work ?

Jamieg285 · « **Reply #10 on:** October 20, 2005, 07:57:57 pm »

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?

55starchief · « **Reply #15 on:** October 24, 2005, 03:22:20 pm »

Dude that looks so sweeeeeeet

55starchief · « **Reply #16 on:** October 24, 2005, 03:22:46 pm »

That on a black t-shirt or sweat shirt would look awesome

FUBAR · « **Reply #17 on:** October 24, 2005, 03:30:51 pm »

As I say it needs a bit of refinement but its getting there

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

Jamieg285 · « **Reply #18 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.

FUBAR · « **Reply #19 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.

55starchief · « **Reply #20 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

FUBAR · « **Reply #21 on:** October 24, 2005, 03:52:02 pm »

That is also a realistic option

I'm getting the feedback I wanted. cheers guys

Roadkill · « **Reply #22 on:** October 25, 2005, 07:30:44 pm »

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.

FUBAR · « **Reply #23 on:** October 25, 2005, 07:32:15 pm »

I've got a free evening tonight!!

so will have another go at this, I'd thought about the "MKB we rock!" idea too

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

Quoting: FUBAR

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

Just leave it off
