A question for the forum:
I don't lke the Dunlop "arrow" pointing backward on one side, but it's the way had been done on the Thrust SSC.

( )

I have tweaked the file to correct this. What do you think? Should I change the decal?
Arrows do look better when they point forward. In the photos, the D in the tweaked decals looks different. Is it just the photo angle?

Thanks for the tip, Kit. I'll keep it in mind for the next projects.
Owing to the current financial difficulties, the light at the end of the tunnel will be turned off until further notice.

Hmmm, you're right. The central back hole moved a little when I had to divide and reassemble the objects in Inkscape.

Must admit I prefer the arrows pointing in the same direction

Escuse me, do mean both forwards, OR both towards the right?

If it is a company logo then it probably would only face one way.  I would leave it.

Sorry, should have been clearer. Forward

I'd agree with you, a backward-pointing arrow looks unnatural. But, as on the real life car it was backward, and having Philp's answer. I left as already applied. Now, after some touching up, the car has already received a coat of transparent gloss....sorry.

There were valid arguments both ways - and somebody had to make a decision.

... as I was told during my conscript days, making a decision is much better than not making up your mind ...  ;D

None of your images are showing for me and I can't fix it.

Is Postimages.org broken? I just tried to sign up for an account, it sent me a password, but then returned an error message when I tried to log in.

Yeah, so am I now too. That's weird. Maybe Postimages just had a temporary outage? I did check "is site X up?" websites, but they all said it was fine. Mind you, that might have been because the front page was still working: it was only when you tried to actually do anything that it fell over.
