    good work on the LONDON text on that third one Rik

    something about the juxtaposition of cab and the text 'ENGLAND' that jars though - it may well be centred absolutely but it does not look right to me - the wheelbase is not central to the vehicle, nor is the hood, and that is correct, but when the text is added it clashes - maybe increase the text size, lower it a bit?... not sure...

    Good observations and feedback, Steve.

    Everything is pretty much centralised.
    I was thinking of moving 'England' above the taxi, but, not if I plan to do a few others!
    As for the wheelbase of the taxi? I've just drawn a reperesentation, rather than being deadly accurate.

    You could always give it a go, and show us yours!

    There are some words that are instantly recognizable when stacked two across, while others are a "hard read".

    It reminds me of a sign nailed to a post, during the 1800s, in the West of the USA outside of a saloon:

    em, "To tie mules to".

    I tried very hard to follow Mike's tutorial, but wanted to do something different, so, here is something different, at least it was before I saw Gare's post.

    Not sure if I should have put the same shadow type treatment next to my avatar.
    Good tutorial Mike.
