THIS FORTNIGHT'S THEME

This week, we will put our creativity and imagination even further. Last winner @JKcreativeworks set this theme, let's hear whar he has to say :

I've been thinking about this for a pretty long time, I think this will really show the designers' potential in your livery skills

What I want is to have a contest about fantasy liveries where you invent and design your own sponsors and livery. You may use an existing oil/fuel brand, rim/tyre brand and brake/spring brand. But other than that, all in-house work! If you are unable to design or upload then use GT Sports own shapes for the livery. Please don't cheat about and use stuff from the internet/discovery section or other sources, other than for the above mentioned sponsors. Try to challenge yourself !



CARS : No restrictions.
LIVERIES : Original designs with non-existing sponsors.
USER MADE DECALS : See unique restrictions.
BONUS PICTURE SETTINGS : No restrictions.
UNIQUE RESTRICTIONS:
- Everything has to be made by yourself except for the oil/fuel brand, rim/tyre brand and brake/spring brand, all other has to be home made.
- If not possible to upload, then use shapes from the original GT Sports shapes inventory.
[UPDATE] :
Original sponsors :
At least the main sponsors (1,2,3) must be original and in-house designed.
- Using existing logos : Not allowed
- Inspiration from an image : Allowed as long at it is not already related to an existing brand
- Using existing fonts : Allowed
- Using existing names : Allowed as long as the graphics are originals (and the brand not so well-known)
Real sponsors allowed :
Only as secondary and/or series sponsors
- Tyres
- Springs
- Oil
- Rims
- Brakes
- Car manufacturers

Please be sure to pay attention to the new presentation rule :

- You have to make one post with ONLY the 3 pictures and the FINAL ENTRY mark. If you want to add precisions/background story/links, you are allowed to double-post under your entry. The best way to do it will be to "reply" to your own post.

Good luck to everyone !
 
I’m not good at Inkscape, but I’m decent with photoshop. I just hope I can get an image converted quickly in the SVG request thread.
 
I like the theme and it's similar to something I've been thinking about. However, I'm moving this week, and I doubt I'll have time to participate, since I still need to learn how to make my own decals.

This should be a huge help at creating the poll as you just multi-quote every entry and remove the quotes in the poll post. (As long as everyone follows this rule) :D
 
The theme is nice, but for a creativityless guy like me, this is extremely hard and time consuming. I may sit this one out, we'll see...undoubtedly we will see a lot of amazing entries, as I know such a theme is perfect for some of you guys out there to shine ;)

Don't miss it, please. Remember this.

From the beginning of the LEC, the only theme you missed was « art cars ». Please try to join this one.

For you, and for other people struggling with vectors, don’t forget we have a great team of contributors in the SVG request thread that will be happy to help. For the sake of this round, I’ll try to be myself a bit around this thread, or PM if you want to keep it more « secret ».
 
So I'm thinking of using my own company logo, would that be allowed?

It's never been used on a fictional or real car, I did design the logo

It's not really the vectors that "scare" me, somehow I can get them done. It's the whole designing our own fictional sponsors that is the problem for me. I struggle to make an original livery by using existing company logos, designing fictional ones from scratch? Not sure I can do that xD

I'll see what I can do, I don't really want to sit this one out, but I may end up doing it :(

when it comes to the logo, don't overthink it mate. You could just use a random logo name generator, find a font on dafont.com and go from there. The majority of the liveries I create use my own personal branding. I find if you keep it simple and just create for yourself you're going to have a good time.
 
This is a majorly time consuming theme. I made a sample last night of other business names that I would have used for my business and I've come up with some things I like. If I can, ill get on gt and make something. I'm not working for a few weeks now but have other commitments which will really absorb my time
 
My problem is that I can only seem to come up with rude or offensive company names.

Like a store that sells various kinds of nuts. Peanuts,walnuts,almonds,hazelnut,cashew,pineand pecans. It’s a family business, so the name has to be on it. The family name is Deez.
 
Just had a quick look on the GTS site and I could find Pensiton Oils, but didn't see Larsen Biscuits.

Bit beyond me this one, but look forward to seeing what you guys come up with.

Do it.

Go for it!

You made it, so yes that is allowed. Everything is allowed as long as you make it!

Right there with you, I like to think I have a reputation for similar stuff myself, For example the logo I'm working on now is for a tailoring company...

Dick Inches : Bespoke tailor :sly:
 
My biggest problem is that I'd have to design a logo, and wait for someone to convert it. Anyone stuck using the shapes tool to crate something is going to be at a massive disadvantage.

I like a challenge.
 
Are we allowed to put the car manufacturer’s logos on the car? Eg. if i were to paint a Nissan, would I be allowed to have a Nismo as a small sponsor?

ah so in house tuning brands? I don't see why not? After all it is a part of the manufacturer really but I guess we need to wait for confirmation from @JKcreativeworks

Car brand may be used, as part of the small sponsors as mentioned:

- Everything has to be made by yourself except for the oil/fuel brand, rim/tyre brand and brake/spring brand, all other has to be home made.

No other existing sponsors, all made up fantasy main sponsors.
 
Are we allowed to scan an image to use as part of a logo, or do we need to draw everything too?
