High Resolution Logos (resource)

Here are vector versions of the SP and original OR2 logos in SVG. Credit to @Zoukambada for the American flag variant.

The SP logo is extracted from a parts catalog. Lots of copies of this have circulated, but they all have the inner outline of the palm trees and the sand missing. Turns out two layer blend modes just needed to be changed to "multiply." It's offered with two colors, as originally extracted from the PDF (meant for CMYK printing) and one with the color values matched to the in-game logo. It has variants with and without the white outline (the official stroked outline is kind of wonky, I instead recommend using a white drop-shadow after exporting to raster as they did in-game). Also included is the American flag variant used on the title screen and some menus.

The OR2 logo uses the vector for SP as a base. I've seen a couple other attempts to do this, but none, to my knowledge, use the original cloud background for the palm tree (since this is otherwise hard to recreate). As it turns out, you can get those exact clouds from the OR2 textures for the title screen (since they animate in) and then you just need to work out how to stretch them to match with a reference).

Here is my effort. This is not 100% perfect, but I think it's very close. Included are variants with and without the white outline and one that matches the darker blue of the in-game title screen.

Iguana, great work!

I remade the OutRun2006 logo but it is not made in vector (I took some PNGs and other sources as a base):
I tried to find the 2006 year font but I didn't have sucess... so I worked with what I found online, did some cuts, masks, etc to clean the logo and then I recreated the same glossy effects and chrome, so it is fully restored.

The color was adjusted to ressemble the intro title, which I believe was designed for.

It is available here if you want to check it out, the PSD source is also there.
You will only need the Ferro Rosso font from Dafont to render the editable Coast2Coast text.

@thegreatprophetzarquon I believe the bottom detail from the C curve on the word SPECIAL needs to be fixed in OR2SP, it has a triangle shape pointing down.
If you compare the upper part of the C and the other curves from O or U for example you will understand.

Thank you! Fixed. There's a lot of little business like that in the logo, I think maybe issues exporting to PDF from whatever format they worked in (I believe why the layer blends disappeared).

@Zoukambada identified that the fractional canvas size apparently posed issues importing into Photoshop. Updated.

okay, again thanks to @Zoukambada we figured out that the colors on the OR2SP logo vector were set up for CMYK printing. So I have gone ahead and made a RGB version with the colors as matched to the title screen. Not 100% perfect, but close.
The old one remains included: I think the colors are still displaying more-or-less correctly, they were just selected to meet CMYK constraints (reds are more magenta, ect). This is pleasant to look at, but the one labeled "RGB" should be used for any in-game sprite recreations.

@Zoukambada has created an excellent version utilizing the American flag variant of the Special Tours logo. This is used on the SP title screen for a split screen before the flag animates and shows up in a couple other menus as well. The first post has been updated.
