Photoshop request for logo

As a follow up to my Mazda logo/font question, is there someone out there who could take the following RX-8 logo and replace the 8 with a 7?

My game plan is turn that logo (in lieu of Mazda written as originally requested) into a decal for my car, so thanks for the help!

I wish I knew what it was.

The only Mazda font I can find is called SF Automation, which is the blocky, old school style that MAZDA is typically written in.

I have no clue what Photoshop is like. Can something be conjured up out of thin air, or do you have to choose a font first?

why not just copy paste parts of the other letters, like the left part of the R. It's just a 7, can't be that hard even in Paint.

Mahjik,

The '7' in logo F is exactly what I envisioned. Is there someone to take the shape of that and use it in place of the 8?

Actually, the CX-7 logo has the appropriate 7 in it. Any way to combine the two in a graphic?

Thanks Goomba!

I knew I couldn't be the first person to think of that logo.

I like it, but I think it is too big for the seven. I would like to get it scanned so it could be trasnfered to a vinyl sheet then to a smaller size to what ever color you want.

Its not much wider than the stock badges. Just looks bigger because of the style of font used.

I'd love to have it in agraphic file. It could then be used in variety of settings.

Any one have a suggestion on getting that created?

No...any mazda dealer can sell you the RX8 and a CX7 badge.

Here is the original if you are interested

http://advantia.ca/rx7/rx-7-logo.eps

I did it in Adobe Illustrator and exported it to eps so your sign shop can re-size it at you see fit.
Cheers!

Hey, Goomba....the badge on the rear of your car looks great. Outstanding. Much better than stock. But I'm still not clear how you did it. You took an RX-8 badge and a CX-7 badge and put the pieces together, is that it? What's confusing me is the insert picture below the picture of your car. That little picture looks cobbed up. But on the rear of your car everything looks smooth. So how did you do it?
