You mean, someone to do it for a price? We don't work for free.

Maybe this should be in the classifieds?

YEP, i DO mean TOTALLY free. im a 16 year old GIRL karting driver from poor country POLAND. ive no cash to pay fo my tires, and that means i DEFINATELY have no cash to pay for a logo, although id like to pay for that kind of a job, since i know it is kinda hard. so if theres someone who can do it for "NOTHING" (he/she'll help me get into FORMULA 1 though lol) then im glad. if not, ill deal with it.


cheers

Okay, heres the thing, tecnically we don't allow this kind of free work request. But we can help you and advise you on techniques that will help you get a good result. You have to do the work but we'll be happy to help you any way we can. What software do you have?

p.s. if someone was going to do this work, then you would have to let them have a bit of freedom with the existing design. People are more receptive that way.

My first piece of advice is: simplify (use flat areas of colour) and vectorise the logo. This can be done using Adobe Illustrator pen tool. The reason for doing this is because it will make the logo easier to reproduce for a range of applications.

Then i suggest looking at some flame artwork and trying to match the style:

A more stylised image (rather than realistic) is probably the go for this application.

[cjoe]

like i said, you need to simplify the graphic, i.e. use flat colour:
