3 first as i think it looks better, cleaner, and more proffesional

 

5 second, clean, simple, nice

[Baldy]

i voted for number 7 but my second choice is number 6

[[TC]>Lee<]

I voted number 3 looks the best tbh

[Baltoman]

voted for 3. no second choice

 

ps. I edited the pic, I think this font looks better imo :D

[khevolution]

i voted for 5 as im not too keen on the word "Special" in it, i think the fact you have the TDU logo should be enough

[S71NG3R]

Number 7 second choice number 5

[Baldy]

voted for 3. no second choice

 

ps. I edited the pic, I think this font looks better imo :D

 

it's not the top gear font though.

[CarboyZR1]

I vote for one, but the text should be smaller and should be one line.

it's not the top gear font though.

I have to agree with baldy I'm affraid :( It's just the Arial Black on italic bold doesn't quite have enough of a slant .... I suppose I could rastorise the font i used, and then squif it a bit :p (nice technical term).

[Baltoman]

you guys want the Top Gear logo diferent? I dunno what you guys are talking about.. I just thought that the word "special" could be in monotype corsive

[Iced_Bullet]

Yeah, cool, your input is welcomed and I'm grateful for it :)

 

It's just, what me and baldred are on about, is that the font you used for the 'Special' is different to the font used for 'Top Gear'. That is all. And we (well I'm guessing baldy agrees) think that having another font, just crowds it, and makes it less aesthically pleasing ...

 

But, as I said, all input and opinions are welcome :D - its all of you I'm promoting it for :)

 

this is a way to get everyone involved, as lots of people (especially the 360 lot, cannot physically help with the filming) :D

[Baltoman]

I think it looks better with that font, It gives the "special" something special:D. Hey maybe you can change the whole word "TDU Central" and put it in Monotype Corsive, that way the whole word will match... Just another sugestion ;)

[Iced_Bullet]

OK cool, I'll think about it :)

 

We'll see which one wins and which one comes second first before I change anything :)

[Baldy]

Sorry for the long post, but i'll hopefully be able to shed some light on why i think it is best left the way it is now. It all comes down to awareness. Basically Top gear have a font they use for naming there special shows, and that is the font iced has used. If you change that you will lose the brand awareness as it is not as pleasing to the eye, and does not continue with the top gear style. If you want people to recognise it then you should leave it as it is, this is the tried and tested font which had built up a reputation for being on the title's of special top gears.

 

Just to give a better example, at my work, we have a company logo.

 

If i was to go in one day and completely change the logo without major public consultation and views then of course the brand awareness would drop. Instead of having well known packaging on the shelves there would be new packaging, which would be confusing to the consumer.

 

In fact we are currently changing our logo, and we will be featuring the new logo and packaging on our old packaging for three months before making the change over to the new logo and color schemes.

 

Hopefully in that time the consumers should get used to the new style and we should see no loss in sales.

 

The point i am trying to make is, if people recognise the font used, they are more likely to see the video as more proffessional and therefore more likely to watch the rest of the video. If the opening title looks a mess, they are less likely to watch the video.

 

Congratulations if you have read to the end of this post.

[Baltoman]

well I read the whole post :D. Make sense, and I see your point. But you just didn't like the font did you? :rolleyes:

[CarMadMike]

I agree with what i read in some of that post ^

 

 

(Edit: Baldreds, not Baltomans, no offence)

[Baldy]

well I read the whole post :D. Make sense, and I see your point. But you just didn't like the font did you? :rolleyes:

 

I don't mind the font but it, just doesn't work in this format. Theres just something that doesn't look right.

[CarMadMike]

Does the normal top gear logo have that pink think in the background

[Baldy]

as iced said thats just a bad screen, he's going to improve it and sharpen it up for the video.

[CarMadMike]

Thanks Baldred, I thought he just meant the clarity of the image whole

[Iced_Bullet]

Thanks Baldred, I thought he just meant the clarity of the image whole

Yes I wil be doing as such. I just screen shotted YouTube on pause for the pictures you see atm.

 

I have a HQ Top Gear Into all ready and waiting for the extra bit to be put in.

 

Which reminds me, I can now go and edit the newly recorded clips to Vegas today, as mum and dad have trotted off to bed.
