Good suggestion, if he could do it then more then welcome. But I don't know whether you guys have noticed it or not the current F1 logo is quite unique. It has some really astonishing work of Mind present behind and thatswhy it is a really amazing piece of logo design I have come across. Here is the image of this logo lets see if you guys can notice it or not.

I have seen his logo for F1 which he wants to be use as F1's 2012 logo, it is looking amazing but it is missing something. Knowing that @raxor has already sent it to FIA for use in 2012 season, I have to say one thing FIA don't change logos on yearly basis and neither they have any intentions of changing it any time soon because whenever they will decide to do it they will invite designers from all over the world to compete for the new logo.

I have only one condition and that is he should make the logo in 800x600 format, instead of his HD style because HD images take a lot of bandwidth and if something HD is present in the top post it will be present on every page which makes the topic start slow. Thatswhy I am against posting HD pics on the thread too, I have posted many pics which were originally HD but I have resized them in 800x600 format.

@steve,..

don't tell me u are asking for hidden '1' in that logo ... if yes, then its very old, and i 've known this for a long time :S ,... also i think we have discussed it before in this thread,.. may be last year ..

yeah i agree, i don't think FIA won't change F1 logo anytime soon :S .. but @raxtor's effort is worth appreciating.

@m_waqas
There is more to it then just the hidden 1 in the logo. Plus this logo is used on F1 broadcast in the bottom left corner. Just imagine the @raxor's logo on the broadcast it would look weird. It looks good on T-Shirts, T-cups and other souvenirs, but not on the broadcast.

@genius Waqas asked him if we can use that logo or not and he says yes so thats not a problem now
just one thing that that logo is with with his watermark if we ask him and get one without it then it would be great coz i personally like the black background more it attracts me more well that a personal choice .. just a suggestion nothing more

@Blackeye117
I also want the black one and he wants to take the credit for his work which is 100% right as it's his property, so asking him for a non water mark version would be unjustice. With his watermark he gets the credit we get the logo and everyone will be happy. I only want the logo in 800x600 format, plus the name and rules of discussion to be present on the logo. If he can do it then I will be thankful to him otherwise no hard feelings.

Yup thats right and its his work so he should be given the credit for that .but it'll be good if its a bit smaller not small enough that no one can read but small enough to not take much space yes lets ask him if he can do it with the rules written on it so it would be better and attractive looking you can save the picture and then resize it right ?
