Default Calling Graphic Deisgners with Logo Making Experience.

I have a top secret project in the works, involving Corvette logos and emblems, and need some design work done.

First part, design a simple shark profile design with no features or details with the exception of it's outline. This might be used to make a side emblem replacement for cars with the Stingray emblem who don't think their car is a Stingray and that it's a shark instead.

It will be cut out of a thin contouring sheet of S/S or Billet to be glues or maybe even studded to the fender in the stock location.

Thanks, and good luck.

Example: (The gills and eyes may be able to be cut out too but no other details.)

Don't you have your own in-house graphic designer?

Here's one for you DB. Based on a Great White profile. Could be used horizontally or vertically.

Those are very cool. Any chance of a side profile?

I'll try a few. Reason I chose this is view, is it looks more like it's in flight, and a profile view has been done a fair ammount. This is from a receint cruise.

I had a similiar idea but it was to create a decal which I could overlay onto the horseless carriage image on the antique plates here in CT.

Perfect Glenn. That's what I was looking for.

I'll work with that and the next one you upload and see if I can have a few samples made.

DB, here's the styled shark prifile I mentioned yesterday. This in white , red, or silver would look very cool above the air vent on your fender.

Thanks again. That last one would be perfect for a pinstriper to lay down on fresh paint for a really slick painted emblem.
