What I do is find a good clear image of the logo I want to make. Like below

Then use it as a background template in Photoshop to make the logo from scratch. The colours can be matched from their website logo.

The other way is to use a clear image of the tail section of the same aircraft you wish to paint. Then paste it on to the PSD image. Resize to match to correct layout and hey presto.

Hope this helps.

ps as you can see my computer is now resembling some form of normality. Just need to load all the paint programs and I am back to work.

The more UK carriers the better :)

Personally I would love to see the Britannia OC on the 757, but having had a look at the paintkit, I think it might be quite a tricky one because of the stripes.
Lovely scheme though, about as 'British' as you can get.
