Aston Police skin.

Post by skstibi »

I have been working on a Police skin for the Aston track, kinda like what we had for the FE track. So far, I have made one but it just does not look right.

Anybody have any ideas for me to make? I want it to be unique and stands out well (Like the FE one).

Here is the one I came up with. It did not come out as well as I hoped :?
anyway. I wanted a couple more opinions before I scrap the idea.

EDIT: Ok, well. I have only done one Different front color. I did what Jason and PVL suggested and put the red on the rear and left both sides black.
Here is the orange. Just imagine the other colored skins having the same Police writing over it. (oh yea, and add Police lettering to the wing).

Ok, I'll be honest. :o And remember, I dont want to influence the final decisions. I'm just thinking out loud :)

IMO it looks weird for a couple reasons:

-The right side is different colour to the left side, so IMO it looks unbalanced.
-It would look nicer if the colours were switched (Front:Blue, Rear:Red, Sides:Both Black, Stripes:White) (just my opinion)
-That Font is not good. What is it, Times New Roman? It should be simple block letters : something like ARIAL Black Bold type.


Other things:

-This might be good, but we need most cars skins done so all police look identical. Of course you are seeking a final design before doing most other cars. Are you are able to do most cars.. XRT/R, XFG/R, FZ5/R, FXO/R, LX, RB4, .. ?
-It really looks tacky and unprofessional if all cops have different skins. You see that on TC and other Cops 'n' Robbers Server, and half the time you don't know who is a cop, even the nicknames are different and not standardised.
-TBH, I would be happy if all cops just used the Standard Black/White ones Smurfen made, on both FernBay and Aston, but hey that's just my opinion. Dont let me kill your ideas.


I suggest, when you get a final design, edit your first post, and make previews for:
- Your Design
- Yellow/Green FernBay Skins
- Black/White USA Style (Smurfen's)
- Any others you know of that has a complete set of skins.

Then add a poll for what skins should be used and see who says what. It might be interesting, and your only working on your skin, not doing work on the others. Then the admins and officers can make a decision on what to do.

(always beauracacy and red tape when the government is involved) :?

:mrgreen: Well. Umm... :idea:
I thought From the flags and the banners that it was in the UK. I just looked at the design next to the DT UK on the bridge and had an idea. (you know the last one on the pit straight going the correct way)


EDIT: Yes, I can do these skins on other cars. I am just doing it on FZR for an example. I just want a good idea that will last before I start going too deep into this.

If anyone else has an Idea, please let me know.

Maybe some street signs are in need, I've been thinking like this (but the proper country?)

In my opinion I think the colours red and orange suit the track style, I can't really explain why but I find green works for Fern bay and orange works for aston.

Where is that colours ? Red Blue Black - I can hardly make out that dark colour.

And the chunky ARIAL text looks heaps better.

A suggestion... If you go for Orange and Black and red.. try out those German colours, (Autobahn fun ?) can you do a preview and add another poll choice? for the german colours.
Or delete the pale orange one (currently the first choice) and replace it with german orange/red.

Dont forget to make an original Fernbay Jamaica skin as a valid choice. We can use FE skins on AS if we need to, we are right now. :D

(ha i make work 4 you)

track locations are as follows:
Blackwood - UK

Aston - UK
Westhill
Fern Bay - Jamaica
Kyoto - Japan



anyway, I quite like the orange fronted one, it just seems to fit perfectly.

Since Aston is UK based, shouldnt the police skin mimic a UK flag from above? Same with FE and Jamaica. :)

Tried it, and it did not look right. If you want to see it, here is is.

Anyway.. Jason's idea added to first post. Kinda funny how things turn out.
BTW. Yeah, I come from a mostly German based family (other than my Cuban grand mother) Then there is some (or should I say quite a bit of) Irish, some Italian. heh, those are just the main ones.


EDIT!!!: AHHH!! I missed something. Do you guys think the front color should run up onto the roof (Like what the back does) or keep it the way it is?
