strummer2k Posted October 24, 2004 Report Share Posted October 24, 2004 First off, if this is an inappropriate place to put this thread, let me know and I will post somewhere else. I have very little talent with designing artwork or anything like that, so I need some help. Here is my basic idea for a headstock logo . I would like someone to take the idea (doesn't have to be exactly like the drawing) and produce something that I can pull into photoshop and change colors or whatever. The middle section doesn't have to be solid either. I prefer not to put my name on a headstock, but this is kind of a play off of my initials (S & C). I am willing to pay a modest fee, but we can discuss that through email. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

strummer2k Posted October 25, 2004 Author Report Share Posted October 25, 2004 Canadian Strat - if you meant that since I posted it on the web, I should be able pull it into to Photoshop...well yes, I do understand that, but my drawing looks like crap. What I meant was for someone to take the sketch as a starting idea and create something much better looking than what my limited drawing abilities can generate. Maybe even expand on the idea. Whatever, I just wanted something better looking is all. I only know how to do very limited things in Photoshop and thought someone could help me out.

strummer2k Posted October 26, 2004 Author Report Share Posted October 26, 2004 Sweet! Thankyou very much. That is great! Can I ask how you did it? I was trying to use "S"'s & "C"'s in Photoshop and invert them and rotate, but I couldn't get it to look very good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest AlexVDL Posted October 26, 2004 Report Share Posted October 26, 2004 I drew it in autocad, and finished it in coreldraw. I started out with three circles. Do you want a vector drawing, so you can get it cut at a decal or sign shop? Just let me know what filetype you need. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
strummer2k Posted October 26, 2004 Author Report Share Posted October 26, 2004 I have been told that you can print decals out on your home computer, so that is what I will attempt for now. I assume either Word or Photoshop will handle that. Again, thanks for your help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daveq Posted October 27, 2004 Report Share Posted October 27, 2004 I have been told that you can print decals out on your home computer, so that is what I will attempt for now. Some people have had success doing that. Not me. I spent too many frustrating hours/days battling with transparencies and weeks of clear coating/sanding just to find out it looked horrible in the end. If it doesn't work for you (I hope it does), sign shops can save you tons of frustration by cutting it on vinyl stencils. You just stick them on, spray some paint on there, remove the stencil and you're set to go with your clear coat. It takes about 5 minutes for me to do my logo. The stencils cost me about $25 for about 50 of them. I wish I had gone that route in the first place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PDV Posted November 13, 2004 Report Share Posted November 13, 2004 dont pick yet. first of all what sort of guitar are you putting ti on.?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maiden69 Posted November 13, 2004 Report Share Posted November 13, 2004 I could suggest using a water slide decal, sure they ain't UV resistant, but it all depends were you play, my guitars don't see sunlight at all, so I really don't care about that, the transparency looks awful when finished, I don't like it much, Good luck with whatever you decide to use!
