I'm surprised no one else touched on your copyright question. This would almost certainly attract trouble, because you used the "D" from the Initial D logo. I'd have to say we can't use this for that reason (unfortunately.) It does look good though. | ||

Just a guy towing a car across the country to chase a dream. Group: FORUM MODERATOR Posts: 9,272 Member No.: 30,193 Joined: Jul 25th 2008 Location: Plymouth, MN | Simple is better for stickers, weeding complex stickers is a giant pain and can drive costs up depending on who we have cut them. We wanted to do a QR code sticker for a local club to redirect to our website, but the prototype was bigger than desired and still impossible to weed. To keep the more busy stickers a reasonable size (7" long to fit, say, an Evo triangle window) there'd be a LOT of tiny text, and beyond the weeding, getting it all to stick well due to lower adhesive area is a pain as well in application and can sacrifice longevity at the same time. So, my vote goes to dmhc69's submission, they're simple, have a recognizable part of the logo, and with a web address will get the point across simply. The MitsuStyle sticker is a very similar simple, yet effective design: As for my submission, Honda reminded me that I have this still floating around: |

I took the colors of the forum as backround and the colors of Initial D. It is a complete Paint failure but okay, it is a concept |

I like this, nice job. I made one real quick at work with the Paint program. I'll try creating some more tonight when I get home on Illustrator. Hopefully we can get a poll going so we can have a vote some time soon once everyone has uploaded their ideas. Image size reduced, original size: 1024 x 481.

Show me proof that that logo is copyrighted and I'd agree with you but I doubt this would be a problem. As Perry said the kanji and typesetting (of kanji) might be but the way he laid it out isn't the same. So yeah. | ||

I think if any part of the logo is copyrighted, it'd be the the "D" with its stylized streaks extending leftward to the rest of whatever text is behind it. I can't find any info on whether it's copyrighted or not, mostly because I don't really know where to look. But do you think it's a good idea to not know, make the logo using part of theirs and hope it isn't copyrighted so you don't get sued? Which sounds worse to you? Play it safe. Until you know you can use it, don't use it. This post has been edited by kyonpalm on Jan 30 2013, 01:33 PM | ||

I don't see the issue. And if it's really a problem? Change the number of stripes in the bottom of the D, copyrights don't apply to things that are different. |

I completely agree and he made the point I wanted to make better than I did. For reference, Macross Plus's logo is Kernel Alternate SSi. [ Post made via Mobile Device ] |

Were you expecting something else? Group: Advanced Members Posts: 3,921 Member No.: 20,929 Joined: Oct 14th 2006 Location: Some place in South-East Asia | ^I have to agree EDIT: Not sure if that black line in it would be easy to weed out though. Wonder what Spaz has to say. This post has been edited by Meteor on Jan 30 2013, 09:09 PM |

IDW God Member Group: Members Posts: 165 Member No.: 28,727 Joined: Feb 16th 2008 Location: Philippines | Thanks for the positive feedback guys, actually that black line was inspired from the the tofu sticker in the old IDv3 arcade machines placed below the seats, which resembles the panda trueno |
