Ok Ladies and Gentlemen, (and fuzz balls). I need a little help. I am not the most artistic or creative person ever, so designing a logo for Finnish Fury Rallysport has proved difficult.

Im hoping some of you artsy types might be able to help me out by designing a logo. We could maybe even turn it into a contest. Possibly get a bunch of entries, have everybody vote on them, and the winner gets something maybe.....

The logo will be used on the race car itself, and on any and all promotional materials. It will be on our Facebook and Google + pages, as well as all over the build thread.

I would like the logo to use the colors red white and blue. The blue being the same as found in the Finnish Flag, and the red being similar to the red in the Nico logo. The approximate sRGB for the blue is (range 0–255): blue R=24, G=68, B=126. No idea on the red, and the white is, well white. Keep in mind the logo should be made in a large enough format so that when blown up to 10 feet or so it will not pixilate. Font and stuff is pretty open, as long as its legible from a distance, and hopefully at speed. For format, could do a single line, or do Finnish Fury and Rallysport as different lines, possibly making Rallysport smaller

Contest or not, whichever logo gets chosen to be used, the creator will receive a sweet 2012 rally calender which just so happens to include a picture of the rally 240SX from LSPR this year.

That is pretty sweet, but I think its a little too complex.

I would like something that can be easily be cut out of vinyl, or embroidered onto a hat or something like that.

I whipped this up, but I know you guys can do something cooler. I have limited photoshop skillz. It looks neat but the colors make some of the letters tough to read. Im going to try again.

I wish I still had access to Adobe Illustrator. I'd be all over this.

Jake had a lockdown on the lumberjack thing in the rally world. I could never compare.

Indeed. I forgot about this thread.

That is the new logo. Just in time for the engine build to commence.

Thanks for your help bud.
