Hi Guys:
I'm looking to have a couple signs made for my garage. In short, I need larger, higher quality images of the following:
#1 I need an image (a "drawing," not a real photograph) showing the 3-D portion of the "Skylark" script emblem. Similar to the attached picture, but larger and showing the outline of the raised portions of the actual "Skylark" script emblem. (I hope that makes sense).
#2 I need a larger, higher quality scan of the "GS! Skylark Gran Sport" logo attached below. There are several variations of this logo, but I want the one EXACTLY pictured below, i.e. with "Skylark Gran Sport" at the bottom.
If you can help, please post here or send me an email at BUICKGS65 (at) gmail
Thanks!
Dan

Hi,
If you are looking for a picture of an emblem it should be easy to find, but for a drawing you may have to trace it and then offset the raised portions, I use Solidworks at work and can see what I can come up with on my lunch hours (may take a few weeks), as for the other you may want to take to a sign shop and they should be able to reproduce in any scale
If you knew the fonts of either it might be easier to reproduce in drawing formats, but there are thousand of fonts out there and considering most of these are from early 60's no telling what it was based off of

A scanner works well for capturing the image of an emblem.
I have the GS logo somewhere, unsure of which version. I'll take a look.
When I was in collage (in the old days, lol), we took pics of album covers on slide film, then used a projector to put it on the wall. Traced the image, then painted a cool mural.
