It's definitely been a while. You might have thought: "Did his inspiration finally run dry?" "Has he outgrown the Livery Editor?" "Has he stopped playing Gran Turismo Sport for personal reasons?" - Well the answer to all of those is a resounding "NO". I have never stopped making liveries, and I do not plan on stopping anytime soon. At the turn of the year, I accepted a contract from Australian e-sports team Logitech Altus. While this was definitely a high point in my life in general, as I was getting recognised for something which is essentially a hobby, there were other issues in my personal life which I had to sort out first. This delayed everything, but did not derail it.
The designs for Logitech Altus have taken me almost three months to complete, but I have to keep them under wraps until the Manufacturer's Cup has officially started. Some of you who have me on PSN might have seen them, and know that they are over and above anything that I have ever created in the past.
I have learned a wealth of skills and techniques, as well as broadening my vision to realms where I never thought was possible. This is displayed by four brand new liveries which I have created on the side, but I've also had to embargo them out of respect to Logitech Altus. I've lifted the embargo on them yesterday. What you can expect from them: They are all modeled after products created by the company I work for, there are seven in total, so I still have three to complete. They encompass the typical Gr.3 cars, and for the first time, Gr.4 cars. So, without further adieu, here are the first four liveries of the Publisher's Toolbox series:

87. No. 47 Imigino (458 Italia Gr.4)
The first completed design (It might not be so in the game description because the order which I named them were the order in which they were uploaded, not in which they were created.) - is modeled after Imigino, our video streaming and image analysis platform. The colours are adapted from the brochure, and I had to change the red slightly from Rosso Corsa. Forming the shutter shapes around the wheel was a bit of a mission, because they are of a different level of softness to the logo itself, which I could not just use because it did not scale the way I wanted it to. The first Gr.4 design publicly released, grab the matching suit here.
88. No. 48 Augmenta (R8 LMS '15)
The second completed design, an Audi R8 LMS coloured in the blue of Augmenta, our augmented reality platform and mobile application. Its logo was literally perfect for creating a 'light refraction' effect, and I managed just that. I decided to drive home the hexagonal motifs by adding a subtle gradient overlay. Once again, this is not just a mobile billboard for my job's products, but it is imagined as an actual racing livery that happens to use the products as main sponsors. Grab the matching suit here.
89. No. 49 Bibliodam (Vantage GT3 '12)
With over 350 layers, this is one of my heftiest designs yet. This one represents Bibliodam, our specialised cloud search library and platform for managing digital assets. The nodes themselves took about three hours cumulative to lay, and consist of most of the layers. I was definitely pleased with the way this one turned out. Grab the matching suit here.
90. No. 46 MojoReporter (F-Type Gr.3)
The fourth completed design, this one is modeled after MojoReporter, our mobile journalism and digital package distribution platform. There is a marketed 'smoothness and seamlessness' from the platform, so I wanted to replicate that as best as possible with the 'flowing ribbon' motifs. Note that these images are taken from a pre-release design, so the final design, both the car and the suit, does differ slightly from what you see here. Grab the matching suit here.
