Entry A Few New Signs For 2011

entry 4 Mar 2011, 20:52
I was looking at some old racing pics and noticed some unique signage that I wanted to add to my track. One of them is found on the right in this pic:


I got into Photoshop and created this for 2011's track:


I noticed another sign in this image, off on the right side:


So while I was at it in Photoshop I made this one up, too.


Thought I'd share...I know sometimes folks are looking for things like this (as am I). The originals are at 250 dpi, but perhaps the images above will suffice.

Hi gkc

I have a BP logo that would better suit your time period;



It's not hi res but it should be fine for any 1/32 scale signs.

Its likely that the banner in your picture is largely black and white rather than using green, this didn't come in til later. I have a black version but I'm confident that you can invert the colours yourself!

Also, would suggest a skinnier typface. The BP Energol banners that I have made use straight characters (later time period) so I can't help there, sadly. If you wanted to check them out they are available from Slot Track Scenics as aprt of their retro collection.

You've done a great job with the Dunlop banner. It's an interesting one!
