So, I'm drinking and looking for ideas (long week).. and photoshop hit my mind...

I'd like to put a car number on my car.. I'm tired of using shoe polish...

What does everyone do for numbers... rather, I'm looking at size, shape, placement... and color.

I don't really like that much red on my car... suggestions are welcome.

This is what I came up with...

Realize that they are really bad PS images.. it's mostly just for font ideas and placement.

I'm looking at running a couple NASA HPDE's this year.. not sure if that plays a roll in size, etc, or if it even matters.

comments + suggestions?

I like the casual font, narrower stroke, and canted a little more to the right. Depending on the color red you choose, it may not be all that visible. Silver really is a dark color to the human eye. Black will provide some contrast, but white would be better. Or, a white square, oval, or rectangluar panel you can put the numbers on would be the best, and allow more freedom of color choice.

Just my thoughts.
