Company Logo on your trucks

[Talut]

I made a company logo when i first started the game but it doesnt seem like i can add it to my trucks. Seems strange they would let u make a logo but never get to use it. Ive looked everywhere but cant seem to see any options to use it on my trucks. Anyone have any answers on this. Much appreciate any help.

[Talut]

no i didnt i just figured i could get it from the paint shop at the mechanic area

Do you mean you have made a skin with the logo on?.

Well when i started the game it gave an option to name my company and choose a logo within the game.Apparently it really not something you can use on your truck tho since no one seems to know what im talking about.

I know what you're talking about, and I too find it unfortunate that you can't put your company logo on your trucks.

You cant put the logo on your trucks unless you make a skin. It's something i've talked about on here for while now and to be honest the vast majority of people dont care about it. I've even contacted SCS asking them if they will implement a feature, like a decal editor in the paint shop, that will allow you to put your company name and logo on your trucks and i didnt get a response. Given that the aim of the game is to create your own company i would have thought this would have been a standard feature, but SCS and most of the people playing this game stand by skins as the way to do this, which in my opinion is unfair given that not everyone is skilled enough or has enough knowledge with computers to make them.

Unfair... how do you think people make skins? A: They learned to make skins. Unfair?

Perhaps unfair is the wrong description, after all it is there game and they can as they please, maybe inaccessable to some is a better term.
Either way that's a pretty ignorant attitude to have, not everybody is a wizard with photoshop or gimp. And it's not like I, and i'm sure other people, havent tried to learn how to use these programs. The fact is that after many hours of trying i'm just not skilled enough. I could understand your comment if it was a case of me and others just spitting our dummies out after 5 minutes of trying and then demanding that SCS make an additional feature to make things easier for us, but that isnt the case. I have asked others on this forum if they would like to see this feature added and even asked SCS if it was something they would do, but only got minimal interest from the forums and no response from SCS.

<- you are missing the point!

I agree with kaz2... Developers of SCS games took their time to implement paint shop for the trucks in ETS2, and they even added a company logo as part of the game's features. Then, why not add the Co. logo as the paint shop's module/feature along with all the other goodies that the game offers.

As for the community mod creators, they can share and offer their “use at your own risk” mods or skins that often don't keep up with the game’s core updates and may break the game altogether:))

Another thing to consider is the fact that not everyone who plays this game is an experienced modder, a lot of them are casual gamers and many dont like to use mods or modify the game because it can be risky. Extracting the games files and finding a template then creating a skin and packing it all back up may be childs play to some, but it can be a pretty daunting prospect to others. And like Ju$tCuz said the company logo's are already in the game, even having only a couple of choices of where to put them in predetermined places on your truck would be better than nothing.

I might start a thread to see if we can get SCS to do it, if enough people want to see it happen.

I agree it seemed with all the upgrade features it seemed strange that isnt part of the game but maybe they will implement it. Its not a huge deal but it would be fun to see ur logo.

hmm, interesting.

I made my own company logo and skin using paintshop 2 and ETS2 Studio. Took a lot of pain and trail and error but the satisfaction I got was really good

I guess the truck manufacturers prohibit changing logos like Globetrotter since they are part of the licensed brands. Just like they prohibit the exterior of the trucks to be modified by damage.

A bit sad really.
