New Shirt

nuhawk, 97wolverine, and I have been jumping around this shirt thing for the last couple of weeks and are ready for some input from all y'alls on your preferences. 97wolverine has been talking to his printing guy and we are shooting for possibly offering two different designs in the end depending on demand and abilities of the printer.

Input and preference is great b/c I can edit these things if there is enough interest in a different design direction or something I missed!

Edit: the fuzziness is due to sloppy file conversion. Final designs will be crisp and clean!

I actually like concept E just as well, but would rather have the red/black/gray color scheme.

A, B and C look like turkey tail feathers. If I'm going to buy one, my money would go for concept 'E'. It would be nice to lose the serifs, though.

Here's another iteration that may or may not be better...

I like the honda wing I'm not too keen on those turkey feathers like mentioned. maybe if it was like a rising sun with a hawk in the middle that would be cool

^^^^ Would love to do something like this. I'm not sure how versatile the printer we're using is b/c these things are much harder to setup on a screenprint. Different sized t's make it especially difficult!

I imagined a much smaller rising sun print, small like the SH size on the shirt. but bigger could be better, I was just thinking simplicity.

Since opinions are being given, here's mine...

How about A or B, but without the background (which looks like an oriental fan to me) on both the front and the rear.

All in all though, I prefer either A or B, as they are, over the others. My reason being that the design looks more balanced. And the background doesn't detract from the main image.

I also prefer the rear view of the bike in the foreground and the smaller front view in the background. The best view of the SuperHawk is looking from the rear, IMO...kind of like Jennifer Lopez.

To me, large images on the front of t-shirts look kind of gay...no offense intended towards anyone.

Also, I'll most likely be able to offer these in a limited amt. of different color shirts. Granted, the blue outline of the bike on the logo won't show good on a blue shirt, so certain colors may not be recommended. I'll talk to the printer when we agree on a final design.

Let's do another poll after this feedback is digested.

Naaaah I understood, just didn't listen . And I agree on the turkey feathers aspect. It started out as the sun then I looked at the computer for too long and one thing led to another... now I don't like it.

I'm a fan of small front/large back as well. Again, we are possibly looking at doing two designs, so probably something with the big forum logo w/simple bike image and something along the lines of concept D.

I'll be out of town until Saturday night, so that'll give some time for more feedback (I'm listening, everyone!) and then it can get finalized.

And of course, constructive criticism highly encouraged ...

We need to remember that we accepted these folks help. They bring their energy to a process and I don't think we need to over-labor their artistic interpretations.

Ian, I think the new stuff is fab. Certainly we need to consider the printing process as well as the price impact of "special events" like graphics changes or color changes.

I like all of it and I think you should take it over to Ryan and post up what he has to say. After all he (you included but he will take the rap) have to print the damn things!

Thanks for the new thread. I think this demonstrates how this forum is when it's at its best. WHEN ARE MINE GOING TO BE HERE?

Haha! Great job guys!

^^ we'll certainly look into what Ryan has to say. As far as setup, a 2 color fade isn't that complex on a screenprint so he may not be opposed to it. It doesn't take any more setup... just a little extra caution when laying the ink...

I like B and D, but the back of D should be the same color scheme as E. (IMHO)

2 color fade in the logo is NO problem. 4/5 color is no problen for Ryan, he's been doing this for years. We'll all be pleased when we have the final product in our hands, trust me.

Remember we have to print this over a gray shirt.

Until further notice - PUT THE ARTWORK UP

This is all good. It's not a quilting bee.

I like concept D front & back, looks a little more modern. Also like the Honda wings.

I don't like the "turkey feathers" or the rising sun, looks a little old fashion.

Thumbs up

Alright guys, we have 2 designs picked. I'm going to stop at the shop Monday morning and talk to Ryan about printing them and get an idea on final pricing. Thanks to everyone for your input.

A HUGE thanks to Ian (7moore7). You hammered out some really cool designs. I'd like to have more than just two of them printed! I have to congratulate you on the final 2. They are awesome and I can't wait to be there and see some ink being laid!!
