    looks good. your skyline is a little dated but I like the way it was put together to show the Capitol. maybe squeeze the tower in (even though you can't really see it from that vantage point) What color taco is this going on?

    Silver. Yeah I thought about adding the tower in but the vantage point is the issue

    Vector is the way to go. In Illustrator you can take a picture (the higher res the better) and Image Trace it, which will convert it to a vector for you with decent accuracy.

    That looks awesome!! The only issue is I don't have a trd :( That is a great looking logo, you should try selling custom ones like that on here. I know there are a couple other guys, but yours are a little more customized to the individual.

    Also, could the mt. vernon fire in the maltese be changed to "fire" on top and "ems" or "rescue" on bottom? I don't work for mt. vernon, however I wish I did right now!

    That should be easy enough. I was already messing around with it before I got the details. I just saw the my vernon as your location. What's your bed side logo look like now. You said all you have is a black sr5 no off-road/sport

    Like the decal and looks great! just want to offer some advice though or food for thought if you will. I'm in Law Enforcement too, however if I was a thief and I saw a thin blue line decal I would immediately think "cop." What do most cops have in their cars? Guns, flashlights, go bags, etc... This would become a target for me, as it would probably land a good haul. Now maybe you do have a console vault and can stow your items safely, but "he/she" don't know that. Do a google search of LEO vehicles get broken into yearly. Its amazing, but thieves know that's were they can prob get guns, ammo, gear, etc..
    So like I said just something to consider. As for myself, I hide every aspect of being a Deputy until I need to draw my firearm and use it.

    All this aside, again I like the design and effort put into it. Peace.
