Pure Power (I think) 2001

[Riviera71]

I'm pretty sure the logo above Craftsman says PurePower something but does anyone know what company it is?
I can't tell what the text below purepower says and while it will be unreadable it'd be nice to have it right anyway

While I'm at it, does anyone have the oval Old Spice logo on the b-pillar?

Thanks

It's "Pure Power! Lubricants".

Their website was: https://www.purepowerlubricants.com/ However, it's no more. Might want to try Archive.org to see if there's any other larger images once they're back up online.
EDIT: BOOM. Archive.org is back up, and I found a PDF on their website with the logo in vector format. Download it, open in a program like Inkscape, rip it out, and adjust the colors to match what was on the #32.


For the 'Old Spice' logo, this is the best view I could find of it. Just happens to be from the 2002 car.

Many thanks

In case anyone else comes looking for the Old Spice logo, I did some more googling late last night and found this. Since the biggest version I've seen on the #32 is the one in the other pic this one will work fine

Took a little playing around, but was able to get the 'higher' rez image of that website you posted.

Tried to check archive.org to see if there was any copy of it. But sadly, they don't have a copy of it. So, that website screenshot is all there is for it.

 

[Riviera71]

That does look a bit better
Almost a shame that they only used it for tiny decals now that it's found and big enough for a hood logo lol

I did see that 'Pure Power' logo in Google... but without the lubricants part, so I didn't think that was it or brand.

Great finds @Riviera71 & @rickmastfan67

Just want to mention @Riviera71, from all the images of the #32 I've looked at, it 'seems' the "Pure Power" logo that's on the car doesn't have the drop shadow on the text. So, when you get around to ripping the logo out of that PDF, I would not include it. But, that's just me. Unless a better & clearer picture of the logo (on the car) shows up, this is just my guess.

 

[Riviera71]

I'm a little confused, I don't see a drop shadow?

Drop shadow is on the PDF. As I suggested, rip it out of the PDF and use that one instead, as it's vector. It's 1000% way better than the other image.

Ah, I'll try the inkscape program and see if I can figure it out. I still use PSP8 so I'm not one trying new things just because they're nice and shiny

PSP6 here.








But I have PSP8, CS2 & CS3 to open newer stuff.

Yeah, I do have PSP X8 and gimp installed for when stuff opens merged. I was planning to switch to the X8 but old trusty PSP8 is just too comfy and familiar

PSP7 here.

But I do make all my logos now a days in Inkscape (export them then as PNGs to use in PSP7). Very useful program for sure, especially since PSP7 is horrible when it comes to making good looking fades.

 

[Riviera71]

I started out with PSP7 (JimmyK's tutorial ) but the pen tool vs the bezier curve made me switch. Probably something I messed up but saving a copy for zmod or carviewer felt a lot easier in PSP8 if I had to go back and adjust.

 

[rickmastfan67]

Trust me, Inkscape is worth the time to learn it. Especially since the SVG files you save in it are usable in several different programs.

The flame color transitions on my #24 wouldn't have been possible in PSP7 due to how the gradients messup a good amount.

Strange, when I try to open .svg files I've downloaded in PSP8 it usually doesn't work, same thing with .ai (main reason why I have PSPX8 and gimp installed). What does work is .eps files. Must be diffferent settings to save the .svg?

 

[rickmastfan67]

If you have any questions about Inkscape, don't hesitate to PM me & I'll try to help ya out.

 

[Riviera71]

Thanks, will certainly be needed lol. I have it installed and briefly looked on a couple of tutorials on youtube but I had more questions first

 

[Riviera71]

Not Pure Power but another logo from 2001 on the #32. I was looking at the race from Watkins Glen on classics and finally caught a glimpse of the rear of his car. Not sure what it is but I don't think it's Winn Dixie?

 

[rickmastfan67]

Doubt it, especially since Winn-Dixie isn't in the NY area.

As for what it might be, could it be "Tops Friendly Market" maybe? Colors look right, and Watkins Glen is in their market area.
