Default Rubber Duckie Racing decal chop

big favor. fellow founder and myself have come up with an idea we think is pretty neat for our team decal but just dont know how to make it. looking for ur photoshop skills to help us out.

its pretty simple. we think the Infinity M commercial(click link, second 22 into the vid is what im talking about) outlined car idea would work great. thinking of have "Rubber Duckie Racing" written out and the letter "g" swoop into an outline of the duck.

heres my best attempt at the idea with the simple programs i have. looking to have the letter "g" be attached to the tail of the duck and the duck outlined similar to the car in the commercial. if you could have the duckie kinda like italicized similar to the font so it looks like its going fast would be awesome. maybe have the duckie the same size as the font, maybe a little taller..

different fonts we think work well. from top to bottom the fonts are: Brush Script MT, Freestyle Script, French Script MT, Harlow Solid Italic, Informal Roman, Pristina, and Rage Italic. personally, i think either Brush Script MT and Informal Roman look best, leaning more towards Informal Roman(what i used in my crappy mock up).

How is this. Just did a really quick job. Would it look better if it were done with brush strokes? Like kinda dry brush strokes?

ahaha that looks sick!! if u could make the duckie about the size of the lettering thatd be cool. im not sure about the dry bush strokes, if u could do one so i could see that'd be awesome. i guess i should have mentioned earlier, were looking to have the vinyl about 1.5" tall and about 7" long. we spell it duckie not ducky, cuz were special like that haha.

whoever gets this done for us can get a vinyl for free if they'd like. just gota work things out with Roto.

THANKS A BAZILLION!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

just sent showed the teams co-founder, he thinks its great but dosnt know about the font. says that font might be a little thick and cursive may look a little better. i think either the first or second fonts, Brush Script MT andFreestyle Script would work out better. were leaning more towards Freestyle Script but if its possible to see both that'd be awesome. as for the duckie, perfect. for the final print, can it just be made the yellow color? its going to be a vinyl so no black background, i understand its to show the lettering better.

sorry if i sound a little nit picky. just that this will be seen alot being that ill ***** the stickers to help Roto and it'll be going on all our teams cars.

Roto, think thats doable for print?

THANK YOU GUYS SOOOOOOO MUCH!!! we reeeally really really really appreciate u guystaking the time to make this. [sm=icon_cheers.gif][sm=smiley31.gif]
