Design My Gauge Contest

Syn · 10-21-2009, 01:43 PM

Hey All-

I'm looking to purchase a custom gauge soon, and have a few ideas about how I wanted it to look. Honestly, I'm sure somebody on this forum has the skills to impress me and come up with something much better. Therefore, I decided to create a contest.

Conditions:
1. I will upload the template for the gauge below.

2. You (the community) creates different versions of this template based upon my specifications.

3. I will review the supplied gauges, if I choose to use to use one of yours, there's $15 in it for you + the satisfaction of knowing that you designed the gauge for my xB

Specifications:
- I am looking for a red / black / white gauge, no other colors.
- It must be clean looking and professional.
- The RPM is on top for a reason, please take note of this. (Manual xB's FTW!)

Thanks everybody! Happy creating!

Syn is there a specific theme you are going for? I have an Idea and am going to run with it...

put your signature photo on it with red background rather than blue.

Here is what I threw together, as a WIP, for some reason I could see your sig and images in your post but not at home.

So I finished the design. Thoughts???

Very nice both of you!

Jag- Awesome design, simply just not what I am looking for though. I'm sure somebody on the forum will wind up using it. But I am not asian nor is that the professional look I was hoping for

RCRat- I really like your design #2. I have some minor changes but it is looking good so far, and you are leading in the contest. See what you can do about cleaning up the pixelation on the numbers and making the gears more round and interlocking.
