RobMegone Posted February 24, 2009 Posted February 24, 2009 Haggis, can you provide the logo you used for the cafepress shop? it looks a little better than the one I scaled up from. Thanks
Haggis Posted February 24, 2009 Posted February 24, 2009 I think I actually just found a Corley Motors logo on the internet somewhere, and then started fiddling with it to eventually get that weathered look. Stupidly, I didn't keep the original that I downloaded, but it wasn't that big to begin with. Come to think of it, it might have been the same image that CookieMonster4Sael posted in the first post here. Maybe he still has it. I'm sorry if I'm not much help...
artfulgamer Posted February 25, 2009 Posted February 25, 2009 Haggis said: That was intentional, I thought for some reason that some of the shirts looked better without the letters. If you want though, I guess I could make it so that there are letters on the black shirts as well. Also, welcome to the forums! If it wouldn't be much trouble, I'd love a version with the letters. Can't wait to order one of these - I might also order a shirt with sanguineheart's logo too. Thanks for the welcome!
Haggis Posted February 25, 2009 Posted February 25, 2009 Here you go. Let me know when/if I should change it to the Polecats logo, in case you want to order that as well.
spiralout Posted February 26, 2009 Posted February 26, 2009 I've also made a vector graphic of the Corley Motors logo. It's probably not 100% accurate, but I think it's pretty close. Here's a preview: Here it is to download as an EPS file: http://rapidshare.com/files/203382403/Corley.eps If you would like to make a shirt, I would suggest something other than CafePress. Their shirts come out fuzzy looking. There are better alternatives on the web, just search around.
RobMegone Posted February 26, 2009 Posted February 26, 2009 Brilliant! Its much nicer than the one I did, and a lot more accurate To be honest though I did mine with an automatic vector tracer and just tidied it up a little and added the text. Thanks Rob
wookieebreath Posted February 27, 2009 Posted February 27, 2009 Spiralout, your vector is indeed super fantastic. However, when I open in Photoshop the typography is jacked up because I do not have that font installed on my machine. What font did you use here? Looks very close... I know of a local place here that'll do fairly cheap, though high-quality printing on shirts. They use American Apparel shirts, which are quite nice. The image is sort of baked into the fabric - not an iron-on or anything like that. Gonna check on costs. Be nice to get that "can't beat a corley" bike + chick image on the back. I have a pretty decent image of that from an old ebay auction that can be seen here. Maybe someone here can do something to improve on it?
spiralout Posted February 27, 2009 Posted February 27, 2009 Okay, updated with a new link: http://rapidshare.com/files/203382403/Corley.eps I've converted the text to curves, so you shouldn't have trouble with it.

It might be easier to trace out if it isn't blurry.
Gabez Posted February 28, 2009 Posted February 28, 2009 Welcome to the forums wookieebreath, spiralout and artfulgamer (and awesome avatar btw). I think tracing that design is the best option. If someone had a tablet then it shouldn't be *that* difficult.
artfulgamer Posted March 4, 2009 Posted March 4, 2009 cheers Gabez - thanks for the welcome! My wife is an artist and she'd definitely be able to trace it out with a slightly better scan.
Capn_Nacho Posted March 4, 2009 Posted March 4, 2009 I'd be more than happy to give tracing this a try myself. A better scan sure would be helpful, but I can give it a try without.
CookieMonster4Sael Posted March 5, 2009 Author Posted March 5, 2009 this is awesome. I'm totally blown away with how far this thread has come! I picked up one with just the CM logo the other day, but hey, I'd definitely be up for that one of the chick and the bike if that gets successfully reproduced. Keep up the great work(s) guys
CookieMonster4Sael Posted March 10, 2009 Author Posted March 10, 2009 there's no way we'd be able to get something like the Corley Motors logo on the front and then the chick with the bike on the back, is there? I'm assuming Cafe Press doesn't do that sort of thing? I'll have to post up a shot of my new awesome Corley Motors tee.
Haggis Posted March 11, 2009 Posted March 11, 2009 CafePress does do that, yeah. I'm just waiting for one of the more artisitically gifted people here to create a workable image of it (anybody?).
wookieebreath Posted March 12, 2009 Posted March 12, 2009 So, I'm working on reproducing the chick with bike artwork, and am slowed down by the loss of detail on the woman's face. I can wing it and get a close approximation, but am keen to be as accurate as possible on this. It occurs to me her outfit is that of an old timey female aviator. An Amelia Earhart type. Checkout this picture. And this one (of Ruth Elder). Those outfits are very close! I'm thinking now the bike is an original drawing, and the woman is an old historical photograph or something along those lines. I've dug through Google Images using various keywords, but haven't found the exact image yet. It's possible it isn't even a photograph, but an old drawing. Anyway, thought that was neat.
CookieMonster4Sael Posted March 14, 2009 Author Posted March 14, 2009 Quote I can definitely see the resemblance. Looks very much like an old female pilot. Looking forward to seeing it!
Scummbuddy Posted March 18, 2009 Posted March 18, 2009 Not that it is much better, I thought I would put up the version/image I currently have. Hope it helps.
CookieMonster4Sael Posted April 16, 2009 Author Posted April 16, 2009 as promised: just an awesome shirt, all around.
CookieMonster4Sael Posted June 8, 2009 Author Posted June 8, 2009 any updates on the remake of the girly with the corley?
ThunderPeel2001 Posted June 8, 2009 Posted June 8, 2009 If someone can be bothered to around it all with a vector tool, then maybe:
CookieMonster4Sael Posted August 5, 2009 Author Posted August 5, 2009 I need to bump this. Considering that LucasArts is now back on the map it might be worth showing our appreciation by wearing such shirts. Even if they didn't come from their official store..
