Duane, you got good eyes

Both of the newer pictures were taken from the same angle and lighting, so you are picking up the differences in the thread between the 2 logos. The car itself is embroidered in 12 steps. In each of the pictures, there are 2 different blues. The background of the windshield and the primary color for the body are part of the same step. I could possibly seperate them and use different colors, it would take me a little while to do that but not a major problem. All of the trim work around the windshield, nose opening, etc is also 1 step. In the first picture, I used a brighter silver, in the second I used a darker (gunmetal) grey thread. The first design has 6 colors in it, the 2nd has 7 (with the addition of the yellow/gold). It's a couple of minutes faster for me to embroider the design in 6 colors instead of 7 but I think the extra color gives it more dimension.

Honestly, if you guys want the car in something other than blue, it's no problem for me. I already offer the basic car embroidery in 7 standard colors and custom colors on request. If you want them all to look the same for consistancy, then it's better to stick with 1 set of colors. The other consideration would be if you want the logo on different color shirts - we sometimes have to substitute different colors or the design gets lost in the shirt.

I'm deferring to Jim on this since he is the one who approached me about doing the logos in the first place. We've been exchanging emails on this since November. I dropped the ball for a few weeks while I was processing christmas orders but I have the time now and I'll try whatever you guys want as long as I can figure out how to do it.
