For Scamacho

[MastiffMike]

First, I gotta say that Lyle is a pain in my ***!!! I got him removed and made a logo up for RTFC. This may not be perfect but it's a possible direction. Let me know your thoughts and we can go from here....

And so you can see what I had to do to remove Lyle! (I'm undecided still on the shadow but left it for now as it might look good on a yellow body, but prolly will delete it on the black)

And what the logo looks like "flat" (if I'm not mistaken Corpus Christi is right? I lived in Houston briefly and CC was the only good thing about "the armpit of America!")

Oh and here's proof that while Lyle is only 4' tall, he call block an alarming amount of truck! 8-o

And with a white background:

Very nice work MM. I like the white background.

Ok, Mike beautiful work but you're gonna kill me. It was late last night and my mind was just about to go out. I gave you wrong name, not Refinery Training Fire Company, correct name is Refinery Terminal Fire Company. Web site is RTFC - Refinery Terminal Fire Company, sorry about the slip. I'll ask him which background he prefers although I did want it to be a surprise. And yes we are in Corpus Christi Texas.

OMG!!!! I gotta do this for my fire station on my next Chuck!!! Been firefighting for 10 years.

No problem! My Googling last night turned up R. TERMINAL F.C. but not TRAINING but I thought maybe it was just a special training section of it. I set it up so the text is editable and thus easy enough to change.

What about the rest? While I think it looks nice as is, there's about 4 kazillion different things that could be done (different logo, no logo, diff. colors, add flames, add decorative doodads, outline of Texas, etc....).

As far as getting his input that's a tough choice. With his input we can get something that is sure to please, on the other hand there went the suprise (and of course it makes the wait time seem much longer if he knows there's something he's waiting on!). You $, your son, your call! Just let me know what I can/should do!

I'll get the text updated a little later and posted.

How about different colored options and some flames, definitely some flames. I think I'll just surprise.

 

[MastiffMike]

OK, I'll work on some flames. For now here's this:

 

[jcamacho]

Looks great! I may have to order more than one, I like all the colors.

Well.... if you really love your son you'd order him 7 (one for each day of the week) and get one for each of the men/women he works with. Course, if you just sorta love him I guess 3 would do.

With flames, plus name, minus photo:

 

[jcamacho]

I'll pick 2 cause that's all I can afford. This last one and first one in black with yellow caps-can you add flames to first one and retain picture?

No problem, just not sure how the photo and flames will look together (don't want him to look like satan!)

 

[jcamacho]

I'll write it like the Brits do. he-he

 

[jcamacho]

Don't want him to look like Satan.

 

[MastiffMike]

OK, do you want the name on both? Here's a version with the photo "over" the flames and it looks better than I thought it would. However, if you like I can stop the flames on either side of the truck so that there's some seperation. Just let me know your thoughts! Oh, and I used the same flames for both Chucks (cause it was easier) but if you'd like the flames to vary I can do that!

 

[jcamacho]

Great job! I'll take this last one and the white one one with red caps, name and pic on both with flames.

 

[MastiffMike]

Here's what the white one looks like with the photo.

So both of them are the same just with different base and endcap colors?

If so then this image is what you send to Jeff (also send him the mock-up pics so that he can reference the button relationship).

And FWIW, here's what the "seam" looks like:

You should also mention to Jeff that if he wants/needs the Photoshop it's available (you or he can just let me know).

Thank you Mike, I'll email you.
