Ok folks, opinions needed. The normal NFR tag will be missing the "#1" from the center, so let me know if you would like any more changes made.

EDIT: Disregard. I got the color palette wrong. By back with an update in a jiffy,

Sorry, had to appease the Wife unit. She wanted to go out for dinner and a movie. Fait enough as we had not been out and it gave me a chance to motor about in Romi.

Unfortunately, we went and saw Spiderman 3, without knowing it was a 3 hour movie!! So we got home much later than I had thought. I am working on it now.

IMO, I think it needs more black in there for the blacktop owners, yet keep the white for any white top owners out there....but I like the lay out

Uhmmm,..not following you. The background in the center is the Union Jack flag. The car in the pic s Romi. She has a black roof.

Could you elaborate a bit more?

Here is the regular tag. I made some slight changes to the colors of the chevron wings and changed the gap to silver between the red ring and the raised edge containing the picture.

Better or worse?

I would like to see more black in the badge. You can't really see Romi's roof in the badge, so there's very little black. Maybe in some of the trim? Maybe Black outlines? I'm not sure where to put the black, but I think it needs a splash of black in there somewhere?

BUBBLES! That's his name...he's arrived, but he's still wrapped in plastic and is very dirty! See my gallery for first pics...it looks like it was a very terrible messy delivery...but we'll clean him up this week with better pics!

I'm not a big talker here, but my MINI (Chessie, to be delivered in Dallas on May 30) has white top and bonnet stripes....but I think the tag is great. I like the silver on the gap. Really nice of you to design the tag...

Thank you twings and welcome to the NFR group!!! IMG! You are about to be a daddy! WOOT!

I am sort of curious about the tag comments so far. I went out of my way to try and be neutral towards what I call accessory colors, such as the roof color.

Are you missing the outlines, like it would have been drawn and colored in? The tag is an actual 3D component I rendred in POVRay. That is why ther are no lines. Just shadows and such. The small format loses some detail.

I'll see what I can do in Photoshop to enhance it.

I really do appreciate feedback. I am pastel color-blind, so I have come to depend on others to help me with color and what not.

Twings...we're pretty polite around here...we won't look "under the bonnet" unless we're intimately familiar with each other....but thanks for the head's up.

Have you seen any pics of the NFR with white yet? Nice combo...but I'm still partial to black.

How do you add a pic to your sig? I've tried 3 times and it doesn't stick! Do I need some kind of glue?
Nevermind..I figured it out!

Oops, sorry about that twings. I figure when someone is interacting with me, they have to be a guy. I am too old, ugly, and married to have a woman talk to me.

Nice to have another soon-to-be NFR owner. We are but a small group, but we ROCK!

Like I did. I added it to my pic of Romi and her vitals. I used Photoshop for that. If you do not have Photoshop or Paint Shop Pro, I can put it together for you. I would just do it, but I am running out of upload space on NAM.

EDIT: Or I can email it to you.

Ok folks...tomorrow at 2:00 pm CST, I'm going to pick up Bubbles! Finally!

It took 2 weeks to build, 2 weeks to cross the ocean, 1 week to cross the country, and 2 weeks to cross the city! What's with that?
