All of those are excellent, the bottom one stands out for me nicely, however they are all excellent adaptations of Dave's idea. This is all forming very nicely!

Thanks :)

The last one was a bit of an accident. I was going to make it red, but when I adjusted the reflection colour the reddist colour looked pink, a bit like some 300's :wink: but I added some yellow and it looked like a senset reflection, so I made the logo light blue and it came out like that.

looks good Steve, although using the volvo style font or the font used on the window stickers would look class!!!

I'd planned to use the window sticker style font, but I dont have anything that looks remotely similar.. Mick do you know what the font is called on the window decals?

Nice work Steve. Indeed, a different like the window stickers would be ace. http://www.fontfreak.com/index2.htm if you're stuck for finding one, normally works for me! I'm surprised you didn't offer a saloon version, especially owning one yourself now! There's MJ for one, and Andy with his special car.

Well after some tests I believe I found a text that matches Volvo pretty closely (MS Publisher).
If we still need it, it's called Elephant (although you may be aware of this already) :D

looking through the window sticker posts I thought it was either supersionic or maybe checkout , Dekay might know because he was quite involved in the font suggestions

James knows a proper Volvo font, he used it on his video of the MK meet and on his old Avatar.

What is it, we promise not to make fun of you for running out of petrol ;)
