here is a higher res shot

 

Hey, I was going to do one just like that!!! (I wish) This is very, very good!!!!!
I say go with it.

 

Yes, looks very cool....but it's very small....first post is more like what you'll SEE. Is that Boat House row on the left and the CC towers on the right...let's make sure it's not SF Let's see if we three can get some other comments over the weekend?

BTW, note that the larger version is a different proportion...I'm guessing the smaller one is the correct 88:31 ratio. Also, we need to remover the "dash" between Delaware and Valley.

We definitely owe this guy a load of candy....maybe a trip to AC It's nice to have cross-country cooperation like that. We can invite him to the Mid-Winter Gathering and give him a hero's tour of Philly

 

What does our computer consultant think of this proposal, Gregg?

 

First off, it takes a brave man to admit your group has no graphical talent, Charlie.

But as long as Jerry asked, I would recommend going with a far more simple design. As you can already see, there is no way that a mere mortal (or ass) will be able to pick out the skyline or the many cars lined up at the puny defined size.

If you want to keep the cars in there I would drop back to just one, in profile. That would also allow you to accentuate the skyline. Additionally, the dark blue sky makes it darned near impossible to make out the skyline at that size. I would lighten it up a lot. I realize it's a night scene but I just couldn't make it out at that size. You might want to switch to a day-time shot of the skyline or go for one recognizable landmark (I think someone mentioned the Liberty Bell).

That being said, although I am a former photographer there's no way in hell I could put one of these together.

 

I sent Charlie a revised version of the badge and banner this morning with a lightened sky (blue, not purple) and using only a Spa yellow instead of a line of 4 colors. Not sure if that will work better for you. 88x31pixles is not easy to work with. i just wanted to make sure that "Delaware Valley" was readable and THAT takes up almost 1/2 the space! I am sure he'll be posting it up after he looks at it. If anyone has a good jpeg of a daytime skyline, or the liberty bell or something like that, I can always try using another background. Personally, I think designing a banner for the signatures would be much easier

 

I have people who can do this for us, but they start at $75/hr. I use freelancers for my design projects...it's all transparent to me!

It's a small logo, keep it simple.

A more basic one with the Liberty Bell is on its way to Charlie now. Good thing its the holidays.
