That looks good - and I'm glad it's not a blatant clone of the ToM website.

On another note - possible CoM compo? Yey or nay? (Cars selected from a list of CoM cars, 12 races on each track that won the ToM)

Nice idea Crono... I thought about that wired car as well. But why not profit from a successful and well-known logo like :tom: !?

Because it needs to look distinguished from the Track of the Month, otherwise it'll just be a rip-off. ;)

as my graphics tutor says

"stealing is good"

in design terms anyway, it doesnt have to look exactly like this :tom: but maybe just the fact its round can be taken from it, then there is a common idea/theme between the two designs.

edit: and as for the CoM compo idea, why doesnt the ToM compo just use the CoM cars :scratch:

I dont´t wanted to steal^^

But it would be ok for me if the logo looks like the tom logo - but with other color.

he doesnt actually mean stealing the idea and ripping it off, more basing an idea around an existing thing. like i said, if it was just round, and have different design on the circle, maybe using the colours you used on the website there crono :roll:

To match the spirit of the ToM compo, shouldn't a CoM compo run on (some of the) original tracks? Perhaps only the longer ones...
I like short, simple signatures!

edit: 4 random (not brilliant) designs to get my point, some aspects the same, some not...

The site looks very good, the same logo as in ToM is good.

Seems like we'll finally get CoM really going on! This will surely increase carmaking :yummy:

I can't see the CoM compo working either btw.
