Columbus decals - image source

[familyguy]

I'm looking for a Columbus decal that I can alter in Photoshop for a project. I can't find any decent resolution pictures as a start point, and certainly no vector or PSD type images as a start point. I can understand there being a need for watermarking on images that turn up in Google search, but even those are low-DPI at best. Anyone got anything?

I figured this was the best sub-forum to ask about this. Feel free to move as required.

In the meantime, here's one I prepared a little earlier this afternoon. Needs fillet corners.

And keep your fingers crossed that you don't get sued...

[familyguy]

Ah yes, the old familiar. Perhaps I should put the word 'parody' on it, hmm? Seems to cover journalism just dandy. I wonder how old mate Greg Softley gets around that?

i don't know anything about trademark laws or such, but if you're making a reproduction, then you should be right.
you could ask fyxo if he has any eps files or similar.

If it is a parody, changing the name might help. How about

cumulus
Columbu$
Columnbus

I can whip it up in Illy if you have some reference images, wouldn't waste your time in Photoshop.

Got bored, started work on it anyway. Just got to nail down the columbus font (might be easier to modify the individual characters by hand) and exact colors.

Here is a WIP screencap:

I kinda like the name idea. How about 'Columboss'! I'm going to modify the dove into more of a seagull or a cockatoo. With appropriately placed droppings.

Did anyone see the Roobaix ones by Greg on eBay? Sweet.

What part of GASPIPE might suggest its not parody

[munga]

aye columbus!

[spirito]

That's very cool.

all in vector, just resize what you want and swap over your gaspipe text

I thought illegitimi tubi crappi & a crapping cockatoo might have been a bit subtle

This is awesome. My photoshop skills suck. What about a Reynolds 666 decal?

[familyguy]

Yeah, I was thinking what you could do with a Reynolds decal. I'm sure I've seen a 666 one someplace.

Stay tuned!

or the one on the net

or with a bit of playing in photoshop

[ldrcycles]

That's very cool.

+1, LOVE it!! I would love to pop one of those on the old ten speed i'm building up as a fixie.

[bigfriendlyvegan]

The Reynolds ones are excellent. Thanks for sharing.

If you get the Columbus ones printed up, put me down for some.
