Just a thought! not that there is anything wrong with the forum logo, I was just thinking I could make up a few designs, see wat people think! :)
-
Yeah i agree.
Id be more than happy to design one (would do a good job)
Matt

:) [size=14]Sound chief, anyone can have a go and then let the Admin decide![/size] :)
-
..using actual forum member cars instead of library pics :)
-
Post your creations, and we will look at them. May or may not change though.
Its 448 x 100 pixels.
-
Cheers, will be interesting, I hope you dont mind be suggesting a logo change, I dont want to take anything away from the people that look after the site and do a great job. Tell me if I am stepping over the line. ;)
I suggest people post pics in this post if they want there car possibly be on the logo. unless there is a better way? Any suggestions welcome!!

Yup, just post up here.
No plans to retheme the sight, so it has to fit in with existing site.
-
Yeah, the site is fine, very easy to use and easy on the eye ::)
We shall see what people come up with!
-
A Quick Logo I just whipped up!! I'm sat at work with nothing to do!! so it keeps me busy!! lol

liking the fade in the background, tis your own car that one, yes?
-
Yes it is, Guilty!! I have asked for some pics to be posted here, the black one is a members car but the silver is just off the tinternet!
Pics can easily be changed or moved though!
-
not really a lot of difference to the old one :-/
Call me old fashion if you want but i like the old one, it`s the way things begun, we have all learned to
love it, and is by all very easily recognisable
sorry if you do`nt like the answer it`s just my Opinion ;)
-
Thanks for the input m8, everyone is entitled to their oppinion. I'm sure your not the only one with that view, but if we never changed or improved anything the world would be a very boring one and we would still be getting pulled around by horses! Now i'd rather have my 176 Horses rather than just one! :)
Rich
-
Both yours and the original have no prefacelift :'(
-
i'm working on one, including the opel omega (carlton)
-
Yeah, I was looking for a decent photo of a pre facelift but didn't find one I was happy with, If i had one I would gladly put it on! could have them lined up side by side from Omega A to C, Like I said images are easily modified. If we can get some nice pics posted would be great. That logo was quicky while I was bored so nothing set in stone, and it seems other people are interested in creating a logo.
Both yours and the original have no prefacelift
-
ive got a prefacelift silver omega , tell me what pic you want and ill take it and pm it you
Matt
-
A nice clean pic from a nice angle, prefrably with a clear background (not a problem if not, just saves on retouching the image) would be good. Maybe summat like the silver one in my logo, just send a few different angled shots.
Rich :)
More suggestions / oppinions wanted!!!!
-
Ok mate,
I'll do that today and pm em you later.
Matt :y
-
I've always though there should be a pre-facelift on there, not sure about a Carlton though.....
-
I voted yes..................why not? A change is as good as a rest, and as pointed out the current one doesn't feature pre-facelift. But either way OOF will still be OOF and we'll all still be here :y

Thank you i really needed that ;D ;D ;D
Come on then richardirv lets see a few of your logo ideas, you might even be able to change my mind :y :y
-
lol, I only done that one so far! will do some more soon! waiting for some others to do a few designs too!
-
I could have a go at making something fancy which could be used for stickers if ya want :)
Did this logo for my club site...

loving your work dear friend especially that you are using my mv6
and like i said would be honoured if you were using it for a new logo Prefered the white back ground makes the car`s stand out the best :y
-
Cheers m8, Haven't had chance to do anything alse yet, I am waiting for some pre facelift photos of owners cars to be posted here or PM'd to me. Plus it seems like other people are interesting in having a go, I would like to see some more ideas posted, I like the design that PaulW has posted, we could do with something like that for stickers, although I have no idea what the OOF stickers look like now cos I am new to the forum.
-
Still waiting for some nice photos to be posted!! Pre Face lift etc!!
Has anyone else done some logo designs?

You won't get a design from me, as my graphic design skills are non existent :'(
-
LOL, nevermind just some nice pics would do, I must say I thought there would be more interest in people wanting their cars imortalised in a new logo.

Thought there would be plenty suitable in the gallery :-/
-
I have looked a bit, thats were I found the Black elite, There are to many to search through and most are not usable due to poor camera angles etc, Plus I'm not gonna spend hours sifting through them all. I just thought if people were interested they would take some nice pics and post them here, simple really.
-
Is it going to be saloons only on these designs? or is the estate going to get some love? I'm not saying mine should, cos its a bit poo looking - But there are some nice estates and i think they deserve some recognition!!
Its only my opinion, i know there are lots more saloons than estates though
-
LOL
;D ;D cos its a bit poo looking
;D ;D
I dont see why not, I have nothing against estates, I have a pic off google images of a nice irmscher one but its abit too low resolution to use, need some nices pics posted asap!
Rich
-
Bob.Dent's or Jimbobs are both very nice looking....
-
Can take a few test shots if you want?
If it looks ok i could then polish it up for some nice ones.
-
Sounds good m8, look forward to seeing the shots! :)
-
Taken a couple : http://www.omegaowners.com/forum/YaBB.pl?num=1189354785/0#0
If they are the sort of thing you are after I can clean her up a bit and take some nicer ones.

Lookin good m8, looks pretty clean as it is but by all means give her a clean and take some more snaps, more the better!
Cheers

Only joking Chopsdad :)

Well I was bored at work again and thought I would use some of the side pics people posted, so here it is!! to be honest i'm not that happy with it but posted it anyway!! :)
(http://i183.photobucket.com/albums/x266/richardirv/omega-owners2Small.jpg)
-
liking it, liking the merged background too
-
OK .. who nicked me towbar !!! :) :)
seriously .. that is damned clever .. wish I knew how to do that, I wouldn't even know how to start .. :(
I mean .. you even got the grass growing properly, and the picture was taken on sand .. with the car pointing the other way !! and i won't even think about the background through the windows ... I'll put it down to magic ... :)
-
Cheers Chaps, nice to know my work is liked, I wasn't to sure about that logo at first but its growing on me!! and I bloody made it!! LOL
Cars and backgrounds can all be interchanged, image is all in layers!!
Cheers :) :)

Not sure if they are what your looking for but they are what I have of my Omega B

Interesting idea, the one thing I would change is having the cars just a little further apart, the noses almost merge into each other.
Do prefer the scenery in the 2nd, Didn't even notice you borrowing my car!
-
I like the logos, not sure they fit with our existing theme though :-/
Guess I may have to stick them up on the test site, and see what they look like....

Saying that, I'm a big fan of the existing logo, though a change would be nice.
Once finished, might have to stick up a poll to see what everyone thinks :)
-
i like the existing logo, just thought it would be better to have photos of our own cars as opposed to library pics
-
The cars are that close due to the omega on the left having the bumper missing on the image posted so i just made them really close so you couldn't tell, with some better photos i could move them apart.
There are gonna be loads of different opinions to wether to change the logo, personally I like the idea of having our own cars on there, only down side is you can only choose 2 maybe 3 cars, any more and it would look silly. you could rotate them around every now and then, but not sure if that would be to much work for the admin, its a 2 minute job for me to change the cars but as for changing the site, I have'nt a clue.
All comments good or bad are welcome, not sure what can be done with keeping it to the theme of the site, I dont see how! apart from making sure there is blue in the logo!
-
Liking some of these, and we need a change. I vote we change it.
-
Hope nobody minds me playing, but look at this - I rekon it's a huge improvement...
OLD
(http://i89.photobucket.com/albums/k205/jamesv6cdx/old-oof.jpg)
NEW!
(http://i89.photobucket.com/albums/k205/jamesv6cdx/NewOOF.jpg)
-
Nice!! :)
-
I like .. but then I might be a teeny weeny bit biased :)
-
So how about it TB?
-
i have a suggestion if no one minds me inputting..
make the car images smaller, and fit in the different front views on, as the front ends are the most noticeable differences on omegas, and stick the rears on
this is just a collection of pics, they're crap res so dont use them, but an example of shots...
(http://i185.photobucket.com/albums/x267/T8DPR/logo.jpg)
i'm no genius when it comes to logo design, but ya know :D
-
what still no estate :-[
-
I personally think the new logo makes it looks more up to date. Amazing how the time stamp on news goes back after the new logo is put on?!?!
James do you havea time machine? ;D ;D
-
Another logo!! ;)
(http://i183.photobucket.com/albums/x266/richardirv/omega-owners4Small.jpg)
-
Definitely your best effort yet :y
-
Hehe, cheers!
Need a few more owners cars to play about with! :y
-
Love the one on the right, not so sure on the other ::)
-

each to their own! ;D
-
Had to do a bit of retouching with the estate!! wheels were looking abit grubby, think they come up nice when clean though!!
Still want some more nice pics to use!! knowone seems interested in getting their car on a logo!!! very suprised!!
-
i'd love mine to be on it but i dont want to hog it being as there's so many members with so many nice cars
otherwise, feel free to scour the gallery of all my car pics and make a big collage out of mine :D
-
I vote for bob.dent's estate :y
-
Is that the estate that was on my last 2 logos?
-
i think that was jimbobs
-
Oh right, So is there a pic of bob.dents in the gallery!! (a decent pic that is) ;)
-
I think there might be, or drop him a PM
-
Thanks for that, I have PM'd him! ;)
-
have a look in the gallery at mikedundee's car :y
http://www.omegaowners.com/forum/YaBB.pl?num=1191870080
-
Thats nice, I like that! although I rekon most people would rather have the standard looking omega on the logo!! I don't know though!
might have to drop it on a logo tomorrow!! ;)
-
Tracing through one of mikedundee's...
(http://i130.photobucket.com/albums/p266/PaulW21781/mookie.png)
Still ALONG way to go to make it resemble a final image...
-
Nice work!! Good to see some more artwork appearing!
-
I vote for bob.dent's estate :y
I'm flattered Jaime :-*
I've posted up some pictures in a PM to Richard, but they're the same one's that I posted in the Gallery some time ago. Might be time to take a few new one's. :-?
-
Yeah thanks for the Pics its a nice motor, Some new pics wouldn't go amiss though, maybe a couple from the side, like the ones in the logo's a page or two back!!
Cheers ;)

-
Is it worth me or any other members putting anymore effort into this project?
I'm guessing no as merchandise has already been produced with the current logo.
-
A simpler logo for some things may be easier - for example, we cant do clothing with our current logo.
-
hhmmm, will have a think about that, but I would of thought you'd use the same format as the window stickers?
-

Possibly :-/
-
Certainly at some point in the not too distant future, it may be worth changing logos, to 'freshen up' a bit.
Probably looking at a full colour logo that can alos be produced in mono/1 pass printing for cost reasons...
-
Ok, well just let me know when you are thinking about it, always happy to come up with some designs, I'm not the most artistic person in the world but I know how to use photoshop well, my field is reprographics so know the ins and outs!!

I think 'always' is the time to be considering it. Then keep it under constant review ;)
-
Fair play! gonna be quite difficult to make a 4 colour logo which easily converts to 1 colour! would duotone (2 colour) be an option? or would that be still to expensive?

Not sure - you'd probably have better reprographics contacts than me!
The other issue we are finding is that as we haven't got the original hi-res version of the logo, some printers can't do stuff for us...
-
I work with Direct Mail so don't really have any idea about small run stuff if you know what I mean.
What happened to the hi res logo?
In that case I defiantly think something new should be gradually introduced!
Be good to get this post noticed again and get everyones input! ;)
-
A Quick Logo I just whipped up!! I'm sat at work with nothing to do!! so it keeps me busy!! lol
(http://i183.photobucket.com/albums/x266/richardirv/omega-owners448x100.jpg)
I like the one above but I also think its a matter of keeping everyone happy at the same time .... like that one only shows the Vauxhall badge and what about the Opel ETC
-
Not plans I think currently to change our forum logo, though some of our merchandising that can't have the complex logo on will have a simpler one. Currently, I like the simple design that a member emailed me :)
