You guys did scare me away from this round. Me and my humble Martini striped Porsche will watch this from the sidelines in absolute awe.
I was thinking about this livery when I saw it a few days ago and to be honest, I was wondering if the livery wouldn't be even better WITHOUT the two big squares logo.I have mixed feelings about recreating logos for this theme. On one hand it’s impressive what can be done with such simple shapes (and so much time), but on the other hand it’s only impressive if you know what the restrictions were. If you don’t know it, then it’s just a logo and not very exciting - unless the logo is essential for the livery, like for example the post-it logo which I think fits the theme well due to the square nature of the product.
It's been a while since last time, I'm so happy to be back!
We can only hope that every voter will know about the built logos, but in the community pages, it doesn't matter indeed.I have mixed feelings about recreating logos for this theme.

Haha to be fair I started with the logo so I guess I could have made it smaller, but it was just to see if I could make it. After that, I wasn't going to start over but smaller. And in the end, you're right, it helps hiding empty spaceI was thinking about this livery when I saw it a few days ago and to be honest, I was wondering if the livery wouldn't be even better WITHOUT the two big squares logo.
At least I would have loved to see the same thing with much smaller "sponsor" actually, but this is just a personal taste.
Maybe these big squares are just here to hide an empty space forced by the decals number limit (I didn't count the post-it to be honest! 😅)
And while I'm here and about to post my entry tonight or tomorrow, I was also wondering how are we supposed to prove our livery is only made of squares and circles?
Do we have to share it open for edit for example (to let someone download it and check the decals)?
If someone were to call out an entry for not following the rules and suspect them of using other decals, then yes, open share needs to be submitted. To my knowledge noone has ever called anyone out for sharing someone else's livery or whatever other reason for this to be put into action, and most people share their livery by default.And while I'm here and about to post my entry tonight or tomorrow, I was also wondering how are we supposed to prove our livery is only made of squares and circles?

I do already tag #GTPlanet and #LEC (in addition to my own #jugacoursa) in my liveries shared for the LECs since GT Sport but yes #gtplec23 or even #gtplanetlec23 would be a good idea.I do however have one tiny suggestion we update the rules with @Nuschel01 ; a mandatory hashtag for said shared liveries. #GTPLEC + The number of the round, this round being #GTPLEC23. Easier to find and might even draw people in who have never heard of it when they see the tag. Just an idea.
Of course it would! But...Imagine cheating in a for fun LEC… that would be pretty sad.
Not really, I certainly hope we get more rounds with restricted user made decal use.unconventional
I too am trying to find time to finish mine off. I went down the race car route, and I'm busy tracing over sponsor logos. Never will I interpret a brief like this in the same way.I'll be submitting an entry. It's still in progress.
It took a while to figure out what I wanted to do. Then, once I had the idea, I started it and gave up a couple times.
I finally figured out how to do it. So now I'm grinding.
I definitely went a different direction than the entries that I've seen so far.
I think everyone has done really great.
Thank you all for participating in my wacky, unconventional livery theme.

Like I said, I went a totally different direction.
That’s insane! 🔥FINAL ENTRY

I was going to submit my entry after a last ditch effort tonight. Now I'm sitting here thinking:FINAL ENTRY

This was the most difficult livery I've attempted.
It turns out that da Vinci is hard to copy. Lol
I needed way more time, and way more decals to make it look good. I'm not gonna attempt anything like that again.
I found the shading to be exceptionally difficult with those two decals.
I didn't do anything on the other side of the van. The only option would have been to mirror the image, which just wouldn't be right.
All 400 decals were just in that small area.
FINAL ENTRY
Like I said, I went a totally different direction.
Thought about a simplified Starry Night, but then that fever dream ended. You actually followed through, got my vote for sure, maybe all three.FINAL ENTRY

A fictional DTM livery design based off the VW harlequin cars of the 80s and 90s. This combines two of the "official" harlequin colour schemes split off centre. I tried to give it a DTM 2020 feel, but ran out of time to complete all the sponsor decals I'd have liked to have included - life got in the way!
Sweating bullets trying to get this done haha! This was a lot of fun. I wish I could have been in the last contest with the kei cars but I just had no time.
