steph_dexter Posted May 19, 2013 Report Share Posted May 19, 2013 As my study of pre V, I felt the challenge to make custom dial. Especially after viewing this 3 images bellow After many hours of vector drawing, finding source and experiment, here are the detail shot of my hand made dial (5218-201/A as trial): font detail on pad print, as in the reference picture; the use of sanserif font brand name pad printed preV dial is incorrect : indicase detail color filling (3D depth) mimicking the Tritium + stated in the 3 images on top that indicase was filled, not left empty...so i fill it after coloring/luming process: So far that is my accomplishment in the trial process as noobie, feel free to share more insight n opinion regarding gen pre V dial Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
projectologist Posted May 19, 2013 Report Share Posted May 19, 2013 Looking good, just change the "O" to a Pre-Vendome "O" and you're very close (your "O" matches the Vendome "O" shape in the test dial). Also take the serifs back a wee bit, a hair more subtle. And kerning needs adjustment. Impressive work so far... looks like it could be the dial everyone has been hoping for Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
