Slant issue with race car

Recommended Posts

I have this sponsor logo done and it came out slanted already using impact. Since it is slanted to the right it would go on the left side of the car. I need it slanted towards the left for the right side of the car. I have used the skew option and it looks horrible any advice

In the TEXT dialogue box, there is a slant option, and you can go into negative numbers (backwards slanting).

Well to be honest, Inkscape is my preference over Signblazer, Adobe, etc. (I guess i'm weird like that) so that's the program i did it in. But i don't really see how you're missing a step. To me, skewing is skewing, regardless of what program you use, tho there are some fonts that don't skew well one way or the other. I don't know the effect you were getting when you tried to slant it to the left so i guess i can't really say for sure. Maybe try and download Inkscape and give it a shot (it's free), unless some of the Signblazer pro's have a better tip that i may not be familiar with.

I am not sure why you would "re slant" a logo in an opposite direction just because it is on the other side of the car.  A logo is a logo.... why would you change it?  In my opinion it should always slant the same way.    I know I must be missing something but I hope the previous reply helped!

On a race car it gives the spectators the impression the car is fast. That's what I have heard from some racers.
