Default new logo design. your opinion

hello all. I am a Graphic Designer as well as a Crossfire owner. I wanted a logo that would not be obtrusive and would flow with the design of my car. Nothing I saw on the market worked. So I came up with a design. I would be glad to have more of these produced if anyone would be interested.
If I could get 50 or more orders I can sell a set (2) for $20.00 or one for $10.00 plus $4.00 delivery. If anyone is interested please email me and we could do this through paypal. I have attached some photo's. The colors that work best with most all Crossfire colors are silver and a darker gray.
like to here your feedback.

Looks nice. It is less obtrusive. Is it a vinyl transfer or what?

Nice job. Good choice in fonts. I like that its subtle.

Your design would even look good on the lower right corner of the hatch but in a much smaller size. Perhaps something slightly larger than a dealer badge. On second thought how about under the taillight?

BTW, what would it cost me to have a white decal made of the four symbols off of Led Zeppelin's 4th album that would fit under the wing?

Cool Re: new logo design. your opinion

I'm not sure that I care for it - we all know it's 'powered by Mercedes Benz' however the true eye-catching of the car was created by the Chrysler folks and their innovation...the power train is really not what I personally want to push - it's the remarkableess of the Crossfire...and just how damn good it looks - like an $80K car...now Mercedes had something to do with the feel it has but you can't see that...

I'd love a decal like they have that is an outline of the Crossfire - like I see on hats and banners throughout...not for on the car I don't think though...

It would be nice to have something below the vents that says Crossfire...

Just my opinion - it is very professional looking and probably a lot of folks on here will like it...Good luck!

Huh? We're talking about a Crossfire, and The BMW looks like a 4-Door M3 to me, I use to have one just like it.

Very nice job. Any chance you can create a set of C-R-O-S-S-F-I-R-E font letter set in the chrome foil decal?

I would gladly use these instead of the emblems I currently have.
I would like them in Black though.

I like them also, set of black ones would be nice but it seems a little expensive IMO.... But beggars can’t be choosers

And what do you propose it is?

Looks like it's the four door version that was offered during that body style.

Me too Gary in silver of course. I think ours would be a bear to get off though.

Nicely done. I think I would have put it below the brake vent though.

It's a 98 M3. The four door version was released in late 97. I don't see what your point is. This thread wasn't about what car I do or don't own.
Nobody cares anyway.

FP, thanks. I will try to check into the chrome foil and let you know. Good idea.

Thanks. Your input is always informative and appreciated. Black or a dark charcoal gray would work real well.
I have the black plastic version that is on your car. I was trying to show it in the photo of my crossfire from the back. It is on the glass lower centered.

If you use a hair dryer on hot and go over the decal it softens the glue. Makes it real easy to remove. Any glue left over can be removed with cleaner wax. The wax has just enough compound to do a safe job.
I have taken off a full set of racing decals off of a professional race car this way. That takes patience.

Thanks. I tried that. it was hard to see that low. But again, it really is subjective.
