I’ve never really spent this much time with vectors on any single project, so this was a fun excuse to learn a new skill. What thinketh the harsh art critics of Oppo?

Speaking of vectors, outside of pixel land makes it super easy to try different layouts, colors,

etc. I’m bored:

Nice mix of cars I like it. Could use more mustang but eh that’s just me.

Yeah, that would work too. But it looks a little like the e type in simplified silhouette, and also I kind of wanted non european cars to be represented, hence GT-R and Superbird. Jalopnik is (or used to be) about diversity, right?

I would rock the shit out of this as a window decal. That's awesome! out of curiosity, any way you'd be able to do an Oppo version?

good point.

Kia then instead of Koenigsegg?

actually no , nothing distinctive. (other than their version of Lotus Elan)

actually no, nothing distinctive

That was my main problem, I wanted to do a wagon but I couldn’t think of anything that was unique enough.

Nicely done. I’d wear it.

Great choices on the cars, though I think we might need a jalopy version to pair with all of those fancy sports cars.

Were you going for this hood on the GT-R? Because that bump looks kind of odd to me.

Yeah, I gave it a hint of a body kit because otherwise the profile looks a little to much like a bland 90’s Japanese sedan-coupe. As for diversity, I tried and failed to think of anything super jalop, like a wagon, me made by a company with the letters I needed and was distinctive enough to represent in profile like that.

Any ideas?

Oldsmobile - 1955 Oldsmobile 98

Pagani - Zonda or Huayra

Peugeot - Onyx or RCZ-R

Opel - VX220 (Technically a Vauxhall but I think there was an Opel badged one too)

Perfect. Just the right mix of cars, just enough detail to tell what they are. Any more detail and it wouldn't be cohesive enough to be a logo. You deserve front page and 5 times the amount of stars.

Great design. What programming did you use to create this?

11/13/2015 at 08:37

Kinja'd!!!1

Just photoshop CS6, which actually incorporates a lot of passible graphic design tools. Probably should have used illustrator but I don’t mess around with it enough to be familiar with the different UI.

Very nice! Good luck getting selected. It does look a bit like the E-Type is doing a wheelie - ha! Optical illusion?

The Aztek is less likely to murder you than the Porsche - it may be wrong wheel drive but at least the motor is on the correct end of the car.
