So, as some of you know I picked up a brand spanking new BRZ the other day. It has an option where I can load my own personalized picture to be shown on startup. I’ve made this one:

But I would like to see what you guys can come up with.

Winner gets my undying gratitude and the ability to test drive my car should they ever find themselves in London Ontario, or Montréal occasionally.

I’ll fire up photoshop when I get home and see if I can whip up something stylized.

I’d enter, but I’m only ever in the space between the two areas, never beyond. And my art skills are crap.

Well...it just so happens that I’m driving from MTL to London in like a week and a half so if you came up with something brilliant we could arrange something. Though I’m not going over 4k for the firs 1600km.

Hah, it’s cool. You should totally come ice road driving next year, though, if you’re in Montreal the weekend we do it.

i’m no good at this stuff, but what you’ve done has given me smile a smile like that odd looking guy in the picture there

I went pretty nerdy.

It was inspired by a PC’s start-up sequence.

The second line is inspired by the BIOS version readout, but customized: S086ABRZ V.F40LM 04/27/2015 = S ubaru, 086A chassis, BRZ model, Version F40LM (you), 04/27/2015 (the purchase date)

The next line is engine stats listed in the same manner as CPU stats.

While trying to find logos for the one I ‘shopped, I found on the Internets what I thought was a better version of what you’re already using:

This is at the top right now

What sort of aspect ratio/size is the screen?

Here you go. Didn’t turn out nearly as well as I’d hoped, but I might as well give you what I managed.

I left a lot of space around the sides so you can crop it however you see fit.

I can, obviously, upload a full-res pic as well.

Might want to brighten the blue text a bit.

CMON this has to win, I really don’t think I could top that, but I’m in the GTA so I can still test drive it right? Right????

Also, you coming to the Toronto C&C? (doubt it though, I’m not sure how far away London is exactly, but probs way too far).

I’m really liking this one! Great Work! Any way the BRZ could be white like mine?

T. is an hour 1.5 max. When and where is it?

You gave me an idea. Grab the highest res screen print of this, but instead of more power, put less power...since its a brz and all.

Here’s a 1000 x 694

Apologies for:

The text covering his forehead. Cannot move it because iPad.

The roflbot watermark. This is the first “image/caption” thing I’ve done, so it was pulled up with a quick GS.

I guess so. Unless he wants to take it all the way to Florida so I can drive it.
