In case you're actually proposing a logo to represent us, may I suggest an improvement? I think you could instead have the words "Blue Plastic Tracks" written in 3D on a piece of Plarail track (something like this):

How would it look?

The appearance was chosen due to it being smooth and scalable, plus I'm primarily a vector artist.

As far as the 3d goes there's nothing inherently wrong with it, but the style instantly dates it due the popularity of that in the late 80's-90's. You also lose the scalability.

Impressive work! I don't want to run into any copyright issues by having their track design in the logo though haha.

How does it look? (Sometimes, I feel like I could be a graphic designer.)

It looks a bit blurry and rough, but I can see the effort in both pieces of work. Well done, both of you.

I get where you're coming from, Sir, and it's nice to see you choose to take care and give proper credit where it's due. However, I do have to mention that at the very top of the site, there's an image you took that shows Thomas and Diesel at the center of attention, and not as de minimis. In that department, the likenesses of these characters might be a bigger concern than the Plarail track design. Furthermore, Thomas & Friends isn't even the site's primary topic, which is Plarail in general. In order to reduce the risk, my advice would be to either remove the Thomas and Diesel image, replace it with several kinds of trains on a generic Plarail layout (Thomas characters could probably make tiny cameos, but that may be it), or have nothing at all. Not that I have a serious problem with it, but I'm only pointing it out because of what you just wrote. This is not legal advice, so don't take my word for it.

Long ago, I had my very own copy of the almighty Photoshop, which gave me a lot of amazing options, a few of whom I never felt the need to use. I no longer have it due to a mishap that led to my PC "going to the Steamworks", so I recently had to replace it with Gimp. This proposal was edited with Gimp and MS Paint, but had I still had Photoshop, it would've been far cleaner. Thank you for the feedback.

For a job done in Gimp, that's pretty good! Smile
