I like this. The outline is understated but captures what makes the 951 distinctive. I also like the text within the outline (a) rather than on the back of the hat (b)

To me the typeface is not quite right. There are script faces that are recognizably Porsche, like here: http://www.jageng.com/garage9/produc...6a6ccdbcc682b2

or here (see the 986): http://eagleday.com/emandde.html

 

I don't disagree with you on the font and we may try a few other things.

We did a fair amount of research and found that Porsche has used several different type faces for modle designations. The script in most of thise links is a much more modern use than the vintage of these cars. I also don't personnaly like the 944 digital type lettering. If anything the "turbo" type script is closest to accurate for a 951. We just have not found it in a font yet.

Posting from my phone so bear with me here.

 

I always liked the silhouette of the fat fenders.

What about using something like this? (Sorry it's messy, I drew it up quick with a sharpie and the help of a photocopier to lighten the image behind it.) Maybe put the "951" between the headlights, or below?

 

Hope this goes somewhere, I'll buy a couple.

 

I like Omni's drawing. Please make it a non structured front hat. I hate structured hats.

 

Here is my rough touch-up to make the lines "fit". I really only dicked with the wing and the lower difuser.



I think this would work, but yes, it might not be everyone's favorite.

 

I kinda agree on the wing. We tried it both ways.

I really wanted the lower rear spoiler in there since it is so specific to the 951 over a standard 944. Just a thought.

We will probably work on it agian tonight to see if we can't get the numbers a little more "Porsche"

I don't really like the block type Porsche letters, like the more script like.

The 9 and the 1 are pretty easy to get Porsche like. The 5 is the issue really since there is nothing to compare it against.

Should add the tagline below the picture:

Faster than a Shark, won't drag ***

hey the design with the side shot and scripted 951 is great!!!!
i would take 3
DO NOT CHANGE IT
add a combo of colors for the stiloette
and the front cap brim should have the German racing colors small but noticed

 

Agree
