Cally Dick the graphics guru, a request...
Can you create a "Shelby Cobra Cup" ready for engraving after Thursday's final round please? (not pink though  ::) )

Ready for Thursday? Hmm I can try.

What did you have in mind? something to engrave in real life? I better keep it simple then..

Something similar to but differing for The Cobra Cup from "The Pat Phillips Cup".
No real life engraving, no prizes here! :)

Let me think for a due time... no. :)

I know I know, the XGN font isn't quite right. But I think I have captured the vibe of Thursday Cobra Cup night..... yes?

EDIT and low res I know..

If I sent you a photo of my favourite pet rock do you think you could include that in the trophy Dick?

Ok fine..
something less silly.


Too dark? Too Orange? Not Orange enough? Needs something else? More orange?
How about wording? I've taken the liberty of putting my name in 1st. Would you prefer a panel to write names on?
Still a prototype. Throw some ideas at me..

Are you using Photoshop Dick? I can send you my PSD file for the Tuesday trophy with the engraved bit.

Thanks Mr Wally, but no need. I have the skillz. Yep photoshop but I'm starting to use Illustrator a lot more these days. It is awesome for graphics.

This was just something I did last night. I'm cool if it is totally wrong Mr Bruce! I was going to do a trophy last night but this just kinda fell together. It actually has a lot of our cars in it. Just too subtle, can hardly see them. Can notice Bruce's the most. Top left corner.

So if you guys like the poster style fine but can try other things.
And 2 engraving panels each side? Or one along the bottom?
Should it say "Shelby Cobra Cup"?
Or should it say something else as well?

I do appreciate your time, the first attempt... nah :)
I was thinking of a virtual trophy like the one Wally has for Pat's Cup, but maybe with a (normal) Cobra on the top instead of the chequered flags,
would it be easy to edit Wally's file?
But I am happy with "THE POSTER" (and I did notice your monicker! :))

No worries Bruce! I don't want to take anything away from Pat's cup or use it. With all due respect, something like will take all of 2 minutes to make. There are thousands to choose from just by google images alone.

If you want me to use any of those?
I will have a go at making a 3D trophy though.

I'm withyou.  I understand none want to travualize Pat's cup, nor do I want to effect the perception of Thursday's seasons.
How about one of the googalised examples  that is different from Pat's but still something that represents our efforts and we can add to each season.
