>1.) How long does the average helmet take to make?

Kind of hard to answer that....I would guess 20 minutes or so might be about average, but that would include a range from 2 minutes up to well over an hour. The average has been getting longer in recent years, of course, due to all the goofy oversized logos, 'chrome' helmets, helmets with different stuff on the left and right sides, and helmets with numerals on one side or the other. A lot of time is spent on research aside from the actual artwork, also.

Either one would be fine, thanks. Other people might like to see the information here, of course, but on the other hand, information might scroll off the message board before I can do anything with it. It's not the best time of year for historical information, because I will be swamped with new stuff in a few weeks, and because I'll be trying to get the rest of the 2016 (and 2015 and 2014...etc) stuff caught up as much as possible before then (which is hopeless, of course). BUT I don't want to turn down any offer for information. If you'd like to post the information here, I'll try to at least copy it off for future reference as soon as I can. Or you can email it and I'll have access to it indefinitely (unless yahoo goes out of business, which is not inconceivable). Either one is good.

That would be fine. I need to update the website to note that I can re-create some simple logos now, thanks to having much better software than I had 10 or 15 years ago, and some "logo recreation" techniques I have developed. Of course I'd still prefer to use actual original artwork or decal scans whenever possible, but some of these may simply no longer exist. For some of those, I have recreated the logo into a usable form in lieu of having the actual artwork.

I wouldn't mind seeing the information as well. Could you post it here? Are you posting pictures or the entire programs?
