Racers Reunion

I was recently asked to develop a logo for Racers Reunion, a gathering of vintage race cars happening as part of the annual Manifolds on Main Car Show. The city of Irving, Texas puts on this annual event each September, organized primarily by Bart Stevens.

Bart asked me to create a logo reminiscent of the decals put on early race cars. I put together a few digital pencil sketches, and he combined some elements from two of them and asked me to add the trophy.

From there, it was just a matter of execution. I hand-lettered the Racers Reunion type, and built the car in vector paths based off my own drawing.

I always enjoy working with Bart, and I thank him for giving me the opportunity to work with him again this year. He’s constantly working to make each Manifolds on Main show better than the year before. There are some really cool things planned for this year as well, so if you’re in the Dallas-Fort Worth area on September 25, be sure to check out the show.
