Primarily Petroliana Shop Talk Forums Shop Talk Petroliana Forums General Petroliana Discussion Texaco Ethyl Decal

Alex:

Here is my take on the decal.

I used a 'White' "T" Texaco Logo and the 'Old' style Ethyl logo.

The overall size came out to be 12" wide by 21.5" tall.



Everything is 'Vector' art - so re-sizing the decal, or any part of the decal, is no problem.

Let me know if you need anything changed.

JIM, YOU SHOULD DEF PUT THE WORD "SAMPLE" OVER YOUR EFFORTS...SINCE ANYBODY CAN DOWNLOAD YOUR WORK AND USE IT! JUST A SUGGESTION.

Jim, Alex will probably back me up here. I believe it should be a BlackT. Fire-Chief came out in 1932, WhiteT started being phased in around 1936-37... First porcelain pump plate was a whiteT 1940. JMTC

Jim:

Forgot to say your artwork looks great !!!

Doc, I don't understand putting the word sample in the artwork ? I mean it's all there if you were to copy it... It's not like a photograph. Do you mean put the work sample in like hat where all the detail is ???

Doug

T-Way: WOW......looks great.

Doug is right, I think it should be a black T and definitely put sample on that or it will be all over the internet. What do the rest of you guys think? I need a set 12X 18 on the magnetic material. Thansk for your efforts

Will call you.

Alex:

Wouldn't it be longer ? Just my take on it, from old photographs. It looks like just the fire-chief sign was 12 X 18 ? Then they would ad the Ethyl. Am I wrong ???

DOUG, I MEAN LIKE THIS. ANYBODY TRYING TO "BORROW" IT WOULD HAVE TO SPEND SOME TIME CLEANING THAT UP! I DO IT WHEN I HAVE A CUSTOMER THRU EMAILS, ETC.

DOC:

I could have put the word SAMPLE on the art - but I figure if someone is desperate enough to steal my artwork instead of paying for a couple of decals . . .

Doug:

Thanks for the suggestion on the 'Black' "T". I'm not an expert on Texaco and the reference photo on page 1 is real crappy - so I guessed.

No problem to convert it to a 'Black' "T" for the final output though.

---------------------------

FYR (For Your Reference) - I've probably got about 5+ hours into this art. The Ethyl logo was done earlier, as was the Texaco logo and Fire-Chief art. There's probably 3.5 hours total there.

Then I had to lay out the decal, manipulate the pieces to get the proportions to look correct - and recreate the artwork for the 'hat'.

Fortunately, I have a porcelain pump plate with the hat/Texaco logo on it - so that gave me their relationship - and reference to 'draw' the hat in the computer.

That took 2 hours+.

As usual - no art charge to the customer.

Now the art is available to anyone that wants decals - just give us a call.

Will call T-Way. You did in a few hours what I couldn't get a graphic designer in three years to do.....Woo-Hoo

Jim, Doc

Thanks for filling me in.
