PaintballChick.net & Logo
I recently was asked to upgrade a vBulletin site for lady Painball players to a new theme and redesign their logo. vBulletin was and is a pain – so arcane to work with. But designing the logo was kind of fun. I used a camo/military theme for the “Paintball” text and then a nice flowing script font in hot pink for the “Chick” text.…
