Yes, it's me back again and willing to do signatures for a few people on a first come first serve basis.
I will do no more than three or four, so get in quick.
They will only feature HP Herald aircraft, no others (unless I decide to add that aircraft on it's own limited run!)
See my sig for an example, and get in quick!

Yeah drawn from scratch in Photoshop - in my other hobby I create models for Flightsim so creating realistic layered images of aircraft is a no brainer!

nice shading work ;) where do you get your blueprints? most of my sources have mostly cars with a few superb aero one on the side....

I always always always draw my own blueprints - the ones I find on the web (and believe me I've looked all over!) are almost always inaccurate in one way or another.
I didn't use a blueprint on the Herald however, I just started off with a base layer and gradually layered everything else on top of that, windows, panel lines, shadows etc. Took about 3 hours all in to get the end result.

Just an FYI. No airline would put a specific airplane into their logo. It would force them to change it when they shift away from that plane. If you look at the logos of real companies, they are very plain and generally are just text. Have a look at Continental, Microsoft, IBM, Coke, General Motors, etc. You're probably best off avoiding the airplane in the background and going with something more simple. The 70's was the jet age. You aren't exactly putting forward a modern look if you have a prop based plane right on your logo.

FYI... This thread seems to be about signatures not logos. Seems like the planes that Andy has illustrated have the LOGOs of the respective airlines on their tails.

Although you have a good point - this thread is indeed about signatures for the forum, not about airline logos. :wink:
I could easily design a logo, but most airlines already have that - people like having an aircraft in sample livery to sign off with, or at least I think they do.

I'll have one I guess if you have time to do so.. :)
Airline name : Kuwaiti Sky Airways™ Slogan : The World's Just a Flight Away
I don't want to get really picky but it's up to you to get creative, all I ask is the airline has three main color's Blue and Navy/Dark Blue (as shaded in my current sig) and white basically. A flag of Kuwait would be great somewhere (Perhap's the top of Tail? Or Just below the top edge of it?). Up to you about the on the main background of the sig, your work fascinates me so I won't be dissapointed! :D
