hmmm

that font (magneto) is a bit cheesy

have you thought of using a helvetica like vw use in their ads?

the actual font is vw only, but there are a few that come close

I've got the VAG rounded font if anyone wants it.

I think the Blue one (page2) looks good. Retro with a twist. The one VW use in their adds looks too modern.

too modern eh?

it was first used in the early 60's, and was in consistent use by the dawn of our beloved bays...

How did i know this would cause an instant reply............
OK then in my opinion the VW script looks boring is that better.

yes, that's fair comment :wink: :D

I just wouldn't put a magneto sticker on my van

and I wasn't waiting to pounce, honest!
 
What if the lettering was like the home page logo but it was in silver like the volkswagen on the engine bay. I want and NEEEEED a t-shirt to go with 1 of the stickers please :D
 
Sorry for the delay - I think wevre got a bit caught up in differing ideas about design - wil be sorting something out in the near future ...

Sorry to be pedantic, but the VAG typeface was designed and used from 1979.

The fonts used before that look more like Futura, designed in the 1930's.


A few quick ideas below for more thoughts - someone mentioned using the badge on the back, script font, VAG font etc.

Like the top 2 based on the rear script, but the others look too fussy. Still like the original one off the home page best and it ties in with the site.
I think its down to Mike really or maybe a poll............like i said im easy.
 
Also like the top two.

Agree with you Clyde that we should that the decision is Mikes and whatever he choses I am sure will be cool. And like you said earlier in the thread Mike, the logo off the webpage would be good! :lol:
 
ahh - the pressure !!

seriously, its good to get people's ideas - I will take a decision and get something going in the next week or so ...
 
Liked the top 3, perfer the third one, like the same style writing.

Nice
