Designers and others help with wheel logos please!

Thats right, but if you wrap it to the outer diameter of the rim rather than the inner, then it will always be a perfect offset to the inner diameter.

The picture you drew the inner and outer arcs of your text aren't concentric.

 

Go have a beer.

 

you guys are screwing with my brain - the inner and outer diameters are *parallel - problem will still exist.

i think a G&T by the pool will go down better - first need to get out of the office.

 

 

*concentric - not parallel .... no the 2 circles aren't inner / outer diameter of the rims - just trying to emphasize why the size of the circle is necessary . :blush:

Hey guys, my 2 cents.

 

I think this is being overcomplicated. Based on a 17mm CAP height limit, and general wheel circumference, just design it flat, print it out 1:1 on some paper, cut and check to see if it makes sense. Worse case scenario, add some perspective distortion, or stretch/shrink cap height accordingly. You can either spend forever doing maths, or you can print, test fit on paper and adjust.

 

Vinyl Cut on some decent cast vinyl that can stretch and conform and get someone with some experience to apply it.

 

i did a quick design based on what you asked.

I like the design, but am slightly concerned about the validity of the radial spoke layout..... ;)

@uni. I agree. There is a bit of distortion regarding the two diameters. Alot of that will depend of the slope from the one diameter to the other. However, the gap between the 2 diameters is so minimal that it's negligable. The only risk is if the text might be to skinny if it's meant to stretch over a curve that appears flat from the side. All you do in that case is stretch the artwork and retry

Thanks to Nazmo here's our first go, unfortunately only white vinyl at the moment and have one more 'personalised' logo to add opposite the SSR one which we'll cut tonight and all the rest!

That's it! Will do the RIGID red and the SSR/NSBB logos in red/white when we get the red vinyl.

 

Now just to apply them all and see how it looks on the bike ......
