Alrite, i just had a crazy sig idea. Going with the whole 80's flow (even though my car is a 92)...i wanan see if its possible to make like a 'Bacardi & Cola' Sig picture for me. The main thing that i think would be important would be to use the Bacardi & Cola Font (which you can go to http://www.bacardiandcola.com/_conte...qt_640x480.asp and see it).

I think it would be cool if it said 'Camaro & Cola' or something along those lines. And obviously have a picture of my car...maybe in like a hip nightclub spot, and something with the pictures of the bacardi and cola guys..and of course the hot girls that always appear in the bacardi and cola commercials. Hopefully you guys know what i'm talking about, if not just go to that link and you'll see .

The whole look and feel of the sig has gotta be like hip and flasy and DEFINATELY 80's with alot of influence from those commericals. Play around with it, i think this could be a pretty cool lookin thing. I kno my man HalfFast-racing will get on it when he sees it .

Pics of my car are at my cardomain site, but here are some bacardi and cola pictures to work offa...

and the font style

spearson

lol, I like this idea.

spearson

What is your first name?

a mack6

iTrader: (1)

Adam?? Why do you wanna know? If you were gona put my name in the sig, it might sound better just to use Mack. I dont know, but to me, Mack sounds alot better than Adam.

FlyinLow89

Heres a quickie. Im sure Steve will come up with something better. I was gonna animate the gold font and make it shine and stuff but i jsut dont have the time right now.

iTrader: (1)

Thats freakin awesome. Keep em comin guys!!!!!

EDIT: Yea guys i like what Flyinlow did with the bacardi font, but with my name. I'm startin to think that may be better than if the sig pic had a corny saying. So lets stick with the AMack in the bacardi font, unless something else looks better...But like i said, play around with some stuff, you guys are the creative ones!!!

Half-FastRacing

That's awesome FlyinLow89

Half-Fast...come on man..you gotta come up with something!!!!!!!!!!!

EDIT : Guys, i took out alittle bit of the legwork, and found a link with like 15 different miami beach pictures that could definately work out fairly well if used as the backdrop in the sig pic... http://umsis.miami.edu/~dwhitley/Nig...ht%20Shots.htm

spearson

amack, that is exactly what I have been looking for. Now if I could just find the right font for the &COLA part.

Just for fun Adam. I don't expect you to use these. Spearson and FlyinLow89 will take care of you ---> I'm not too interested in making a serious one.

a mack6

iTrader: (1)

Adam (Halffast-racing), that is freakin hysterical man. How did you an flyin low make that font for the AMack part....just so spearson knows????

Half-FastRacing

I literally took FlyinLow89's and put it in mine. But I promise Spearson knows how to do it. I just love the end when he's like "who's dirty?"

spearson

lol, I wish I could put music in a .gif

and then end with "whos dirty?"


and btw, I am almost done.

I have a font that is similar, but I wanted a font that was near exact. I have one that will work though.

Yea i think those are the best commercials, and considering i was sooo bored today, i came up with the idea to make a flashy, 80's/Bacardi & Cola influenced sig pic.

Spearson-Can't wait to see what you come up with...

spearson

ok, the file is frickin huge, but who cares. Here is what my mind has brought forth.

Half-FastRacing

692k....impressive!

I like this part the best....great composition....although I bet it was an afterthought

spearson

I have about 10 more pictures of girls in night clubs and I was going to flash a few different pictures next to the nightclub in the frame, but flashing 3 or 4 pictures per club made the file even bigger, like really big. So I just stuck one picture next to each, I think I might change the other two to fill in some of that black space.

spearson

I made a few changes and got it down to 571k...

CaptPicardsZ28

Thats one of the best sigs I've ever seen. Wish someone could do that with mine in a next generation star trek theme. I havent even had time to learn how to use my photoshop 7...

ChevyMetal305

Closest match I could find to the BACARDI font was 'Nevada EF Regular'

http://www.myfonts.com/fonts/ef/nevada/ef-regular/


Closest match I could find to the COLA font was 'Reflex Black'

http://www.myfonts.com/fonts/sudtipos/reflex/black/

You don't have to buy the font if you are only gonna use it for a couple words. You can change the Sample Text to whatever word you need, copy the image and take it into your graphics program of choice and fill it with whatever effect you need.

Spearson, thats awesome, however is there anyway to make it alittle smaller of a file (i dont really need ALL of those pictures that flash) and incorporate my name into it kinda like flyinlow89 did???

I don't even really need the animations, but they're pretty cool so it doesnt matter to me either way. Like i want people when they see the sig, know its me..A.Mack.

Not to mention that some of the stricter mods will like definately make me change it if i use your sig spearson. haha

spearson

Yeah, I found those on myfonts when I was looking around, but I saw a price tag and kept on looking, didn't think about using the sample text... heh.

I downloaded this big font package a while back, like 1400+ fonts, and there are four of them that are almost exactly like the bacardi text, but none are like the cola text.

RSraider41

1400 fonts?? Was this free? where did you get it? i am in desperate need of some new fonts

a mack6

iTrader: (1)

Yea the more that i look at that sig, the more i realize that there is no way the mods would allow it... Not to mention that its more current miami beach themed than 80's themed.

Anything simpler??

Half-FastRacing

All free:

Alrite guys can anybody make this??

Spearson's attempt was insanely good, but it looked more like an add for a nightclub than a sig pic for a camaro...not to mention it would probably get me banned. haha.

I really liked flyinlow89's, if anyone can do one similar to that...maybe with one of the miami backdrops that i provided...and its definately gotta have the bacardi and cola guys in it like spearson and flyinlow did!!!

RSraider41

thanks for replying, i did already know about that site though
i was hoping to get 1400 fonts for free with one click
lol, i am a cheap ***

spearson

RS, I sent you a message, I meant to send it earlier when I checked this thread, but halfway through typing it some friends called and I went to the bar... (hot friend and her hot friend) > (thirdgen PM)...

iTrader: (1)

Alrite guys, not to be a ***** because i know you all do this stuff in your sparetime, but if anyone could make something similar to Flyinlows...that would be great.

FlyinLow89

Ok hers the revisions you asked for.

Wow man i love them both...they're perfect. Is there anyway to shrink them down to about the size of my current one though??

And can you host or do i gotta find somewhere else to host??

Thanks again.

FlyinLow89

ya i will shrink them. I can host them, but honestly.....I play with my stuff alot so theres a good chance i will move/delete it and the script wont be good any longer. They should be good for a few days/weeks but if I were you I would upload it somewhere.

Thanks...they turned out awesome, i really appriciate it.

Yea hopefully Half Fast will host them the 2nd one for me (That the one that im gonna use for now-even though i saved em both!). So half fast if you see this can you host that 2nd image???

If you can just keep the image hosted for the next few days until i can get it hosted elsewhere (either by halfast or someone else) that would be great.

Thanks again...i'm sure this will set the new standard for sig pics!! haha

spearson

i'll host it for ya
