I FINALLY HAD SOME TIME TO KILL WHILE ALSO IN THE MOOD TO BE CREATIVE AT THE MERCY OF MY HEAD THESE DAYS. AFTER I DID SOME GRAPHICS FOR A FRIEND THIS AFTERNOON, I GOT TO WONDERING IF I COULD CREATE A 2-GALLON MOTOR OIL LABEL WITH "THE AMERICAN GARAGE" AS THE BRAND. HERE ARE THE RESULTS (PREVIEW):   HERE'S THE ONLY ADJUSTMENT I FOUND THAT IT NEEDS....THE SIDE PANELS BOTH NEED TO BE CENTERED ABOUT 1/2" TOWARDS THE FRONT SIDE:   I SHOULD GO INTO THE PERSONALIZATION OF OIL CANS, HUH?  ~DOC

THANKS, GUYS FOR THE POSITIVE UPBEAT COMPLIMENTS. I CAN PRETTY MUCH REPLICATE ANY FAVORITE GASOLINE LOGO WITH YOUR NAME IN PLACE OF THE NAME OR MAKE UP STUFF FROM SCRATCH LIKE MINE WITH LIL MISS "STARS AND STRIPES!"
ONLY PROBLEM IS THE PRINTING PROCESS AND PROTECTING THE LABEL FROM FADING. IT'S STILL IN THE WORKS...THE TECHY STUFF AND ALL.
I HAVE ABOUT A 100 DIFFERENT 2-GALLON CANS AND CAN GET ARTWORK AND IDEAS FROM MANY OF THEM.

THAT'S ANOTHER THING I HAVE TO LOOK INTO IS CANS. WOULD RATHER USE NEW GENERICS THAN SLAP A LABEL OVER SOMETHING USED.

THANKS FOR ALL THE INTEREST. I WILL KEEP IT IN MIND. IT'S GONNA BE A SLOW STEADY SEARCH FOR 2 GALLON CANS...I'VE ALREADY STARTED WITH NO LUCK. I JUST GOT A PUPPY AND OPENED THE SUMMER HOUSE AND HAVE BEEN BUSY AS HECK! SO, PLEASE BEAR WITH ME IN THE UPCOMING MONTHS. I WILL DEF TRY TO ACCOMODATE THE LIST OF REQUESTS. HANG TOUGH, MY FRIENDS! LOL!

DB, I MIGHT HAVE TO IF I CAN'T SCORE A SMALL QUANTITY OF 2-GALLON CANS. 1-GALLON WOULD BE MY BACKUP FOR SURE!
I WILL BE SCOURING THE SURFACE AND DIGGING DEEP FOR THE 2-GALS IF NEED BE!

OKAY, IT SEEMS AS THOUGH THE EASY WAY OUT HERE IS 1-GALLON CANS INSTEAD OF 2-GALLON WHICH ARE NON-EXISTANT ON THE INTERNET.
1-GALLON CANS ARE THE EASY ANSWER TO OVER SIZED, MORE EXPENSIVE PAPER. I CAN GET THESE PRETTY READILY. I WILL EXPERIMENT FURTHER AND LET YOU KNOW WHAT GOES DOWN!
