If you missed our post about changes coming for season 2 (grasim.freeforums.net/thread/160/season-2-preview), I wanted to correct an early "mistake" by re-branding the series. Here's my first try at something with a similar look to the official WEC logo (upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/c/ce/FIA_WEC_logo.png):

In 20/20 hindsight ... I think it needs something to link it with GRAsim (maybe a "GRAsim Presents", "Presented by the GRAsim" or "GRAsim Global Sportscar Championship" at the bottom).

What do you guys think? Good or bad, what can I do to make it better?

Let me make a second pass at this tonight and repost (with a link to the PSD file too)

Thanks Chris and Greg - once again - I'm just an accountant pretending to be a graphics designer

I'm open to any ideas you guys might have.

Chris, you took this to the next place I wanted to take this: some optional graphics for the cars like a decal pack. It seems like it would be easy enough to create a standard decal layer in photoshop that guys can add to their cars if they so choose to. Something for us to think about later ...

This is something that we did (the decal layer) earlier and it really looked sharp. It is with the car decal in mind that I came up with the current GRAsim logo. Small, bold, easy to see without taking up too much space on a car.

One thing I have learned, and this depends on how small the logo will be, but busy logos do not translate very well to small logos. This is the reason that I didn't put an outline around the GRAsim logo, it got pretty muddy. Just something to think about. That is not to say that the website logo can't be detailed, but I would keep with simple is readable on the cars.

I like the direction you are going though!
