I have a challenge/request for all of you Image Manip people, and it won't be very easy, so only the good need apply. Here's the situation.

I've been working with a AA Level Professional Hockey, the Chicago Hounds, for about 4 or 5 months now doing various things from being the mascot to helping pass out schedules to passing out goodies at the front gate of games. Well now that I have my first official project car for a customer, a 2005 Cavalier, that I will be racing and helping market as well, I am talking to them about sponsoring me and the car. I would like to come to the meeting I have arranged with the owner with more than a write-up and ideas for things I could do for decals and graphics. Instead I am going to lay out the challenge to all of you to make me some killer graphics to present to him. Here's the details.

The team I am trying for sponsorship for is the Chicago Hounds, who can be found here.
The league they are in, the UHL, can be found here.

I am looking for designs that not only cover the entire car but give other options. Something that is on the door only, or front end only, or back half only. If you can design something that covers the whole car, cool, but it probablt won't go that way. Let's see what you all can come up with.

Oh, and as the title says, the person, or persons, who's designs get chosen, if any, by me and the owner to be used will be compensated. How much and how will be determined after production of the decals or graphics but will be no less than $50 CASH.

Soooooooo........are we to just use any pic of an 05 cavy? Pics of the actual may help for those that decide to do it.

Any 05 Cavi works. The body is completely stock as it sits so any stock photo works for this purpose.

I'm gonna give it a shot. I just have to make the time to do it.

OK. Just curious. Just needs to be done by the end of April, so not a HUGE hurry.

I'm up for it. I've been using Photoshop for years. I'll see what I can come up with.

2-door or 4-door??

Oh, and I'm in on this

I know you said full body designs would probably not go, so if you want me to make it more simple, just let me know.

Forgot to mention, the white letters on the window says "Chicago"
If you want me to show more angles, I can as well

I like that idea actually. It uses the whole car, but gives us room for the other sponsor we already have confirmed and any contingency decals.

I forgot to mention that the team website HAS to be on the car somewhere, since that's where people will get the info on the team and games.

Also, I'm on an iMac right now, but my Photoshop is on my Windows in the other room (I need to get it for this Mac though) and the Windows PC has a crappy monitor, as I see now on this monitor the black at the bottom of the car looks gray, but that is supposed to be black.
Maybe the website could go along the driver and passenger side windows, and then again on the windsheild and rear windsheild.

Well the front and rear windshield will have no company name across the top of them, so that's out. I'd like something that is worked into the layout cleanly.

In the design presented, maybe the website could run in the blue stripe that starts behind the front wheel. Remove the studs & replace with white website lettering. Or maybe on the back bumper in the blue, keep the studs to a point wrapping around the back & then put the website in the middle.

If I wasn't so busy designing all of the nonsense for my wedding, I'd play with this too.

website would look sweet flowing on the rear bumper somehow

I'll give it a shot. probly will have it done in a couple days.

Just a thought, you could use the "stud" as a "." ...

for instance, www(stud)google(stud)com Just make the lettering big enough and the studs small enough so people can tell that they are ".'s"

So anyone got anything new to show off, or did everyone give up?
