Now why do you want to make it hard for me? :lol:

Suppose I have to make some effort since we are apparently the 904th most popular website in SA.....
I prefer the logo set left, but I'd place the title on the bottom, not the top, and increase the text size slightly.

The only thing I don't like is the pistons protruding from the engine. Brings back unhappy memories. :oops: Don't you have some cylinder heads to put on there. :D
I likey :hangloose: Maybe have the ring gear sit on the two pistons?

When do we get them stickers n shirts, 3 x large for me.......... :flash:

I think it's pure genius. I love the way you've created a ZA identity in the VW logo. It is exceedingly efficient. Ze Germans would be proud! I like it exactly the way it is. I think it will look just as good if you "dumb down" the colours and shading to make the printing straightforward. Actually looking at that logo, you could sell it to the ZA BMW airheads too with very slight modification. You're on to something there Mince... although I don't think the BMW emblem will ever display our flag as nicely as the VW emblem does!

Just gotta make 2 little teeny tiny fixes to it.
The 'aircooled' wording sits too high, and the eblem is not centred properly to the barrels.
Very minor. Will update tonight

Looks good, and have been looking at it with my experience as someone that did Pad Printing, and found that it will Print OK, but will have to be done on a multi head unit.
Now Eben will have to work it into the AirTag thread, so we can print new car & member cards..........
More sleepless nights........Sorry.....
