That looks cool on my dashboard, Solo, thanks - but it shrinks badly too.


Which other brands might need logos? Faulcon de Lacy; Paynou, Prossett and Salem; ... any others?

Brand names/logos would be a worthy addition to spara's Station Ads, I reckon.

A brass plate on your dashboard would require a smaller image to prevent such drastic distortion when scaled down. Await a PM from su amigo.

Nice! The Adder is built by Outworld Workshops - then there's the Marine Trench Co, who build the Moray.

Cool - that'd work on the hull and on the hud/dashboard too.

You're on fire guys :D . Make 256x128 versions of them and I'll be sure to include them to YAH, Station Ads and Market Observer OXPs.
