Fun with Inkscape

I'm probably a little different than most, but I have as much fun creating my companies as I do hauling the cargo around.  One tool that I've discovered for creating logos (as well as doing that nasty curvy lines on repaints) is Inkscape, a free vector-graphics program similar to Adobe Illustrator.  The advantage of vector over raster (your normal paint program) is that vectors can scale without any loss of fidelity, which makes working with curved lines, text, anything of that sort easier.  Just google Inkscape, there's lots of info out about it.

Anyway, I just started up my third company.  Pacific Northern Air Cargo is based in Sitka, Alaska.  I've loosely based the company on Pacific Northern Airlines, which was later absorbed into Western.  In any case, Pacific Northern flew mainly the Lockheed Constellation.  So this cargo company will be using all vintage propliners.  We opened up with a single DC-3, but plans are to include an amphibian DeHavilland Beaver for those small, short trips...and once well established, a Super Constellation (L-1049H).

Here's a series of logos that will be appearing on the different planes (I've displayed first the original Pacific Northern Airlines logo):



Otter:


Orca:


Bird:


Bear:


Salmon:


I'll post more of the first livery when it's complete, I want it to be just right!

I DL'd Inkscape, might sink my teeth into it later.
Cool looking logo's

Those look awesome! Great logos!
