Im making (well converting) a skin for the XFG, i have the orignal for the XFR and am just cleaning it up a bit, i thought it would look good to put the MG logo on the front, so i google, and after getting a 300 pixel square one from good old wikipedia, i put it on a 1024 skin, and here's what i got...

Yeh, i know lighting is off, but otherwise you cant see it (i put the reflection mod in the viewer as well)

Is that the best im gonna get, could i do better or does it look fine the way it is?

Not the logo i was looking for (ok, that sound picky, but i was looking at http://upload.wikimedia.org/wi ... ogo.png/250px-MG_logo.png which is perfect, and at 250*245 it shouldn't look pixelated like it does)

It should look less blurry than that. What program are you using to make the skin?

CS2 (Photoshop 9)

Try making the skin in 2560x2048 and downsize it if needed when you are done.

1024x1024 is a bit small for such details.

you need to widen the badge a bit to wrap around the grill.

also did you use Transform -> Scale to resize it? this sometimes loses some quality, you might want to try filter -> sharpening edges maybe, thats helped me in the past. try to just do 1 scaling, dont scale, apply, scale, apply, scale, apply. that will lose some quality in it. did that help?

These might be suitable...

thanks for your help, ill get cracking again on it now!
