I used to have all the logos somewhere. Although, to be honest, they probably wouldn't be considered hi-res these days. If you can get a hi-res scan of the cover of 1987, then you could take the pyramid blaster from the middle of the logo there and blow it up to the size required. the four marks around it are just lightening zigzags to represent the music soundwaves aren't they? should be easy to create something similar. Can be seen clearly in the Dotorin' the Tardis video (which I'm sure you already know) (it's on a scan of a letterhead too - not quite the same version as is on the doors though - http://www.klf.de/home/wp-content/uploads/2009/02/jamms-201-sheet.jpg) Also, here's an overhead shot (again, am sure you've already got this from google) http://easyweb.easynet.co.uk/~stuey/klf/beatmastersvideo-cars.jpg I never realised the KLF logo on the back was different from the front. Looks like the one on the front is a stretched version of the one in the top left here : http://www.klf.de/home/wp-content/uploads/2008/10/merch023.jpg the one on the back is almost the same but the inside of the diamond is white. Also, i thought i'd see it with the 23 in the thicker, rounder standard klf font? I'll have a dig around and see if i can find the old graphics files i had. at the very least, would be able to use them as a template, blow them up to a decent size, and then create a smoother version at a resolution that'll be suitable for your sign writers. do you know what kind of image file they require? what formats do they accept?

Hi all, an update. The most exciting one for me so far........ there's a brief video in this one!

We're getting to the stage now where we need to start supplying sign writers with graphics for the KLF logo on the bonnet, and the pyramid blaster on the doors, as far as I know these logos have never been on any published work, the pyramid blaster is always in 3D and the KLF logo on the bonnet/boot has the diamond around it that you normally associate with the JAMs logo. Careful inspection of various parts of the White Room video give some detail, but I'll admit to being as rubbish with Photoshop as I am with a conventional pencil and piece of paper. If anyone fancies turning their hand (or rather mouse) to recreating something that we can use I'd welcome that very much. We are looking for as close to perfection as possible, so if anyone does fancy having a crack, with respect, there's not a huge amount of point in starting this unless you're confident you can replicate the logos to a very high standard. If anyone is interested in helping then I'd be very interested in hearing from you - you can email me off the list if you like.
We are intending to get "To Serve And Protect" airbrushed onto the front wings with the help of stencils by a local specialist. Anyone aware of the font that may have been used? Of course it's possible there wasn't one - but it would help us if there was.
Thanks to anyone who can help. And once again: props to Andy for his efforts in locating some very key points we'll be visiting.
