NCS22 - Curved Logo on the Quarter Panel

[Lastlap]

Does anyone have any tips for the best way to curve a logo for the QP on the NCS22?

I use PSP6 for all my work, so I know there is not feature to curve a logo. I have PSP8, CS2 & CS3 to open files when needed.

Thanks for any help.

You can do it in CS6....will this work for u?

GIMP has Cage Transform.
You go around an object with a bunch of click points to create the cage. Then deform the cage by moving the click points.

I think you might to a better job by just doing a Rotate, to match a through line on the device, with the belt line of the car. This looks like about 11°.
The reason why I say that is that a reflection of 180° - x° is easier to replicate.



Having to do cage deforms on multiple devices sounds to be a perfectly palling pain in the posterior. Doing maths though, is easier.

Maybe this is the one.

Sorry Gents, I should have explained more. I wanting to curve the logo to better fit the NCS22 model.

The straight logo was a 5° left. GIMP's Cage Transform might be the answer?

start with the logo straight then take the right half of the logo from the middle of the wheel well and rotate 6 degrees left.. always worked for me

I had been doing that before with most logos, everything normally looked fine and worked. This time the kerning between the words made it look weird.

Doing a 1 degree rotate each way to close the gap has lowered the logo to the scheme... WIP.

Thanks Y'all!
