Agreed, that's why I said the "idea" was a good one.  :happydrinkers:

Should have stopped between the "idea" and "execution" steps.

In seriousness though, I was looking at pictures of many of the cars I have restored over the years. There are definately a couple of early ones where I should have stopped even before the "idea" step!

Well, the machine is still salvageable from a design standpoint. The green and white looks nice.  The bottle graphic on the side could stay as well as the small graphic underneath the bottle door.  The two large graphics on the front need to go away as well as the collection of small graphics on the left side of the machine. The front ones because they are just plain ugly and the side ones because they are too cluttered. Leave the left side blank or put another large bottle graphic there. As for the front put a simple text graphic in the white square that says "Rolling Rock" with a picture of a bottle next to it.  If you wanted to get really fancy, you could make the letter i be a picture of a bottle.  A few simple changes would make the machine look a lot nicer.
