Help with Triumph Logo

[colourshift]

Hey guys, my client has decided he really wants this semi-circular Triumph logo as part of the final design...and I dunno how to quickly execute this. All's I can find is a static straight logo...is there a program out there that can morph this thing into a semi circle/arced/half round? And if so...can someone shoot me an image that I can print off? (I'm desperate)
It's either this, or draft it out by hand.

Actually i tried with yer small one with little succses.....(Swear i've done it before, Arrgh)..I'll keep trying, see if i can figure it out..........Bigger pic will still be better if I or someone else can do it..

[colourshift]

Better? damn, bloody thing won't let me transfer the image...here's the web page...I'm looking for a simple one...the D95-AD2E black and white line art would be perfect...I'm so sorry for the bother.

I'll check that link (maybe find better)

Found out if i use new text i can morph it....Here's a basic...Probably find better text to match....Still have to draw in the line conecting the R and H, but it mIght save ya some time?.........Also i can put a wicked bend in it, or very subtle...More, less?, this bend good?

[ABD]

forgot the pic, Hahahaha

[colourshift]

damn, thanks, but it's gotta flip the other way...for the lower part of the gas aperture. Sorry....should have been more specific...how many beers is this gonna cost me again?

[colourshift]

so, what do I need to do this on my own in the future without having to exploit favours? (and owe beer)

[ABD]

Try this one....Kinda has the same text style as the one you mentioned on the link....Just round off the sharp edges a bit........Is this enough bend?..To much?

.........I'd take ya up on a Beer if i did'nt have to drive half way across the country, hahaha!.....No biggie...Just bein friendly!..

I have adobe photoshop elements 4.0......(whatever that all means,hehe)....I just enter the text, then there's a button for Arc and curves and stuff...Alows you to adjust the amount of bend...Don't know about other programs, sorry

[colourshift]

actually ABD, this gets me in the right directoin, certainly reduces my drafting time. Thanks so much....!!!! If you're goin to the East Coast Air Affair, I'll buy you a coupla beers there.

[ABD]

Where's the Air Affair??.......I'm way in the sticks...anything cool is usually way farther than i wanna drive...Would be great to go to one of those type deals, someday though.

Thanks for the info..........I'm a Hardcore Homebody...I'd be a lost little Goose trying to Venture there....hahaha:partyalone:

[colourshift]

I hear ya, but I'm gonna try and get out there anyway....
I used to live in Plattsburgh, and work in Lake Placid in another lifetime... you anywhere near there?

[blinddog 99]

Lynne, do you have the actual eps outline you need? I mean before the curving?

[colourshift]

Dog, yer talkin over my head. EPS?

[blinddog 99]

Sorry kiddo. I have an EPS (Encapsulated Postscript) file that can be opened in Ai or Photoshop of the Triumph logo. Just wondered if you needed it. You can go to brandsof theworld.com, and get it, but I can post it here if it helps.

[colourshift]

got it dog, and sent it onto a graphic designer friend of mine. i don't have a fully fleshed out version of Photoshop...just elements 2.
Thanks so much all of you for your help!

Cool, if you know them. Then you must know Canton, Potsdam, Massena...I'm about 10mins from Canton...Lake placid is about 1hr 1/2 away....Always a great Motorcycle ride to White Face.

Another Liftime huh?...were you born around here, Or was it just a Temp thing?

[colourshift]

ex was based in Plattsburgh then, when they had an airforce base there...it's closed now, I understand. smallish town with 165 bars, loads of horny service men, and little for a young married woman to do. no thanks.
I was only there for 3 years, then came back to Michigan. Here's where I've spent the most time thus far.
