OMG boot logo?

[Pitts Pilot]

Anyone know where I can buy an AMG boot logo?

However, I want a custom design for my SL63 that says "OMG" not "AMG"

Cheers,
Robert

Don't know if these are any good?

IIRC the logo uses a custom font so you would need someone with design skills (like the link above).

Made 2 on Photoshop:

And an O with the slant of the ///'s:

Without the slant it looks odd, with the slant it looks even worse IMO.

Why would you want OMG on your boot?

 

[MancMike]

Agreed, looks odd without the slant, and with the slant looks odder.

People don't read by looking at each letter, tehy look at the wrod as a wlohe, so it turns up a problem...

Those who know what AMG is (who might get the OMG gag), would recognise it and read it as AMG anyway. Those who don't know what AMG is, might read OMG, but wouldn't get the joke.

Would be better as ///ROB

If you want one making up?

That'll look really nice

If you're going down that route, what about ////MAD. At least the slope of the M would match the slope of the A.

Why would you want an Americanism (and favourite exclamatory phrase of adolescent girls) on your car? Urban Dictionary: oh my god

////FFs ?

It wouldnt, the M still has a straight edge.

I mean if the left of the M was to slope in the same way as the A, it wouldn't look as bizarre as the O you've slanted.

Got ya

That's what makes it clever, subtle second glance humour not in your face tacky ...which is also why it needs to be with a slant like the newer AMG logo.

I would say though that the first one is more obvious that it is OMG - the second one looks like AMG with the bottom half of the A missing.

Depends how subtle one wants to go.

I once had an Escort which had a Ford badge-style sticker - but the letters were:

FUCT

If you didn't look properly - it looked like FORD but a van driver rushed out to come and tell me how funny he thought it was!

Subtle AND tacky, nice going

I had one of those terrible 'ON A MISSION' stickers on my old mk 1 golf.

I'm cringeing just typing this ...

I had a nurburgring sticker on the back of my E39 M5 but it said neverbeen with the wee dots.

I have no idea why I put that on.

That's worthy of a ban
