Thanks, I made sure it looked clean, I didn't want to use any car, cause then it would be biased kinda. By just using a 3.5 block it's more well rounded, it's the powerplant, and not the actual aesthetics of the car.

I like it and voted for it. One suggestion though - maybe also change the blue in all the bars (at the top of each post, top of each forum, etc.) to a shade of green, gray, or red or something, basically to match it to one of the colors in the new design for the top of the page. The blue goes well with the current logo, but if it can be changed (which I'd assume it would be able to in the Vbulletin software) something else might look better.

If sprint wants to do that, fine with me, I can always edit it.

Looks much more professional than the currant one, but I think “Maxima.org” should be written with the same font as before. The design could be different but I really don’t like the idea of a complete change. Besides, the font used in the currant logo somewhat resembles the font of “Maxima” decals on our trunks and the font of the .org stickers. I do value the effort you put in it but I honestly think that the font should be different.

I will install the font on another computer later and see if it will work. I am working on something else now, but I am doing my best to keep up with the feedback. Thnx fellas.

1. use the old font, it matches the stickers and everything else
2. use a VE cut away, not a peice of **** VQ, or have one for each engine and rotate it (rotate on page loads that is)

Thanks alot.

Also, to everyone else, I wouldn't say vote that you don't like it just cause of the font, that can be changed. You are missing the whole pie if you are voting no cause of just the font.

Also x2, Sprint needs to okay this one before I go and add any other engine to it. It's easy I have the psd, I can do it.

Are you a graphic designer Digital?

THe Baner is beautiful and definately should be at the front of the page. The color scheme matches the background much better than the current blue baner.

Makes me want to open up my photoshop and see what I can produce also... hmmm...

dude, there's one more thing I have noticed:

The currant logo says: the home FOR maxima enthusiasts
Yours: the home OF maxima enthusiasts
