BMWBig6 or anyone else,

I want to get a custom decal made using the same font that Polaris uses for their snowmobiles. Anyone have it? I've played around with it a bit and I've uploaded what I've done so far in my gallery.

Here's what I started with:


And here's what I want to end up with:


Any help would be appreciated.

 

I don't have this font, but you can search the web for similar fonts and more often than not they will be free to download and use. You might have trouble finding a font with the same treatment on the "O," which is probably trademarked by Polaris anyway. There are hundreds of font galleries and sites with searchable collections. They are often sorted by type or style. I'd say you might get lucky looking for this font among the more contemporary, informal font groups with technology or modern themes (not the formal or serif fonts). If you find the exact font and it's not free, you can search for the name and possibly find another source that is more "affordable."

Good luck!

 

BMWbig6,

How do you get it to snow like that? Are you using Photoshop 7? I've played a little bit in photoshop, but can't get anything close and can't make the snow fall. I'd love to be able to do it to my Navigator and Mustang.

 

You can make the snow a separate layer above your photo and save the image as a PSD file. Then open the file in Imageready (any version) and create an animated GIF by creating new frames. I think I used 5 or 6 frames, each with the same photo background, but I moved the snow layer a few pixels in each subsequent frame to simulate snow "falling." Then FILE > Save optimized as GIF and you're done!

 

Snow looks great .. Nice Illusion..

PEaCE...............
