Title: Colouring In Logos - Bad Taste?
Post by: punkdSICO on January 21, 2012, 06:32 PM
Im starting to get a bit carried away with colouring in stuff to bring it inline with a colour scheme:

I was about to attach a pair of Tech 3 levers with a white paint pen but started to think: is this a bit gay?

I know there is the argument "do whatever you want" but is colouring in logos etc considered bad taste?

Thoughts?

I've only ever done one logo, but wouldnt use a paint pen, I sprayed my stem black and them polished it leaving the paint in the logo

as its white you can hardly tell its been painted, but it does look a bit like 'all' the cranks were once white and all the white paint hasnt stripped off properly....    ;)
