Hey I like it. It looks like you are using bicycle reflectors for the background.

Thanks guys,

Gotta admit that I didn't create it myself.....I "stole" it from a cover of a 12" vinyl record of my favorite band: Level 42 (duh  8) )

I scanned it and did a lot of restoring work as there were lots of bad spots. The original logo is blue, but I want to keep to black, red and some white as my main colors for my cab.

Here's a picture of the original cover (this actualy is the CD single cover but it's a lot like the 12") http://www.forevernow.com/music/12inch/alloveryou2.shtml

This: http://www.forevernow.com/music/albums/l42.shtml is what I initialy wanted to use for the side of the cab, but the colors are nothing like I want (red-black)
So now I'm thinking of a comilation of pictures of the bandmembers playing live. Gonna contact a friend who's really good at these sort of things. This is close to what I want (he designed this):
