Where are all the artsy types in BMX?

[Chris Gabriel]

Can the shirt be gray? and does my design have to be final or can it be liem a rough draft kind of thing? Because I dont want to do all the work if I'm not going to win

[Brian]

Submit what you have.

Just use some of the mexican food money and pay a designer, then raise the cost of the shirts by like a dollar to cover it. No one's going to want to wear a crappy looking shirt.

The whole idea was to let the members design the shirt. The printer can do one for free, but that would defeat the whole purpose.

[thermo]

What color is the shirt going to be? Or will the design/logo have to look good on several colors?

[Brian]

There will be several color choices.

[live4muzic2]

Fuzzbox!? i know you are good at photoshop.

[thermo]

I could probably come up with something if I tried. I don't really have a whole lot of time to work on anything though. Part of the work I do at the office is graphic design & logo work so I have some experience in that type of thing.

[live4muzic2]

dont be like that...

[KinetikBiker]

I'm thinking we just make a shirt with crutches in an X, and on the back we write, GUNZ SUCKS.

Someone draw that up, i'm lazy.

[MadMan2k]

Dude, that gave me an idea. What about the skull and crossbones thing, but the skull is a super bent frame, and the crossbones are crutches? And it says 'bikeforums' in a script at the bottom. That could be pretty awesome... time to bust out that vector illustrating program.

I thought you loved me.

Also, not many people in the world know who "Gunz" is, and they may just think that the publisher was too stupid to spell "guns" right. I don't think you want to be caught wearing a shirt in which everyone in the world asks about. It's a bit like wearing my Sunday! shirt...

[MadMan2k]

Everyone in the world includes hot girls too. And if they dig, you can talk about how kickass of a bike rider you are after you explain about the shirt.

Although in the case of that shirt, I can't imagine it going too well.

her: "What's with the shirt?"
you: "Oh.. gunz is this guy on an internet site, and the shirt's saying how he sucks"
her: "Ok, bye"

If it's a bike company shirt:
her: "What's with the shirt?"
you: "It's the name of a bike company, I'm sponsored by them and I just won 5 grand in a contest yesterday, want to go get a motel room?"
her: "Ooooh, yeah, I love pro BMX riders"

;)

And then you woke up...

[MadMan2k]

Here's my first draft of the design, I'll work on it later:

That bent frame doesn't look much like a skull. And those crutches look kinda like oars for a boat. :p

[live4muzic2]

im diggin but put a normal frame.

[MadMan2k]

I'm too lazy.. I used a program called Inkscape, which is free and great for that sort of thing. Download it and have at it.

Oh, and I also used photoshop to put the drawings together, but you could probably do it all in inkscape.

I already put it on that topic, it's kind of rough and I would have added more bikes if I wasn't lazy.

[minichamp31]

I like yours Fuzzbox.

[live4muzic2]

theres a first for everything.

[WannaGetGood]

How about the shirt says "Save a car, ride a bike" with a bike below it.

[wethepeople]

Where are all the artsy types in BMX?

If I still had an English class to go to I could probably draw up a good design, thats where I do my best work:

[KinetikBiker]

I like yours Fuzzbox.

I kinda like it as well. But it's a bit to plain.


Not that i could come up with anything more then a blob of a bike and logo on Microsoft Paint...

[minichamp31]

How about the shirt says "Save a car, ride a bike" with a bike below it.

That'd be pretty cool. Someone make it.

[fuzzbox]

Someone needs to come up with something better than the lame ones that everyone likes on the real thread.

So do something about it! :D

[fuzzbox]

I already did, and then I ran out of ideas.

3 seconds.

[thermo]

3 seconds.

I thought you ran out of ideas. :D

On that second image though, you don't want so much empty space between the words and the pic. Doesn't look right. And the font is uninspiring. ;)

[wethepeople]

Plus thats more of a car free logo...

[fuzzbox]

I said 3 seconds.

[live4muzic2]

try harder.

[thermo]

Three seconds just ain't gonna make it. Try harder. :p
