Hey Gang; Sorry, I've been taking a Summer hiatus and have been neglecting my logo project, but now that Summer's winding down, I'm getting back to it. Just a heads up that I will be preparing another run of decals, replacing diminished stock, and adding a few new ones to the selection. I'm also looking into doing a run of reverse, (white) logos for black reso heads. For anyone whom I've not been able to accommodate as of yet, or anyone who's been sitting on the fence, now's the time to place your orders to be sure you get what you're after. I'll still entertain new suggestions, but don't want to take on anything too ambitious, or it will hold things up, (as the old style Tama Superstar logo did - looking for original font used for 'Superstar' took a while.) Yes, this is a new one, and I'll probably do an Imperialstar version as well, (any others?). So I'll probably start a fresh post when I'm getting closer to press time, but don't drag your feet with your suggestions, or even order inquiries. I probably won't do another run for quite a while, and If I run out,.. Also, my apologies to those that I've kept waiting - your patience is appreciated. Update you soon.

P.S Yes John. I can do you the reverse, (white) vintage Pearl logo, (I'm doing one for myself) just let me know how many you'll want.

Were the TAMA Superstar images I sent unusable? Sorry if thats the case. At any rate I'd like 2 black Superstar logos please. Thanks!

John

DaddyNowhere,

There is an iPhone app (if you are an iPhone user) called "What the Font?" It has been a real time saver for me when trying to do what you did with the TAMA logo. Glad to hear you are back! All the best.

Excellent work!

*There... see what I mean? Just answered these questions in the other thread by mistake - can't keep this stuff straight. Anyway, please forgive me for re-posting:

Hey JD7 - Your help is much appreciated. I used your reference as a template. Unfortunately, the edges on the photos were rough, and I was unable to just transpose to vector, (actually, I've only had that good fortune once so far) so I had to manually redraw it in vector. That's why I wanted the actual font for the sub-brand - oh, and thank you tnsquint - I don't have an iPhone, but I had checked several font search sites, and then had to try and find; 'Microgamma, Bold, Extended' as a free, and loadable font. Finally tracked it down under another name. I could have redrawn that section as well, but I felt that using the actual font would be more accurate, and changeable.

@ billnvick - Actually, I'd been working on a version of the Sullivan show logo, but put it on a shelf as printing would be more expensive due to the amount of real estate. If you're interested in this, I could try to accommodate a 16" version on an upcoming print run, (if I continue with this venture) just let me know.

I have to admit that I've been so busy this Summer, I've rarely even had a chance to poke my nose in here at the forum, and I apologize for not getting back to some of the earlier inquiries. Actually had forgotten that I had opened an alternate thread in the 'For Sale' section as well. *Trying to get all my stuff organized over here, and maybe even find a more efficient way of keeping track of orders, it's still all pretty new to me. Still hope to eventually list these on ebay, but have been apprehensive after reading some of the horror stories here on the forum. Thinking of standardizing the postage as well, to keep the math simple, (I hate that part) but at least now I have an idea of what the relative costs are. Maybe try to work this stuff out on the weekend, and get this show back on the road. Later...

So I spent a little time over the Summer playing around with some fonts, trying to come up with some 'generic' options. Mainly for my own purposes, but also bearing in mind potential restorers, and customizers out there. Thought I'd post what I have here in hopes I might get a few responses to give me an indication of potential interest. Plan to only print for my own needs, plus two or three more of each unless there are any that might be more popular. First up are the "Custom" options. If you're quick, you might be able to get some in white... anyone?

I've always been a fan of this style on the bass drum head. I currently have my band name written in something close to it. Looks great on a 60's kit!

*Mathis is an old car maker I believe. I just used it as an example.

I'm a big fan of vintage automotive style fonts and so I tried using for "Vintage", and "stencil" as well. I think they work kind of well myself. As so many of these old stencil kits seemed to be modeled after Slingerland, I thought I'd take a stab at a couple of Slingy inspired Logos as well... for those badgeless, unidentified kits.

... And to round it out, I took a stab at a Toledo logo, based on round badge, (have a Toledo kit myself) as well as a couple of requests I'm hoping will have some additional interest. I'll post prices once all is printed and ready to ship, and I'll take orders then as well, though I'll always take orders on what I have already listed, (that haven't sold out) and I'll certainly reserve any of the new ones for you upon request. Feedback on these would be greatly appreciated as I'm hoping to print within the next few days, (sorry again to those that have been waiting) - OH, and if you didn't catch the other new thread, Vintage TAMA SUPERSTAR, and IMPERIALSTAR will be available as well. Here's the link

DaddyNowhere,

Do you have any Premier logos? I would be interested in one like the attachment. I can send an image, just tell me the format and any special settings.
