sangiro 26 #1 June 2, 2003 Heya all, So, the Dropzone.com long sleeve T's are in the making. The front has already been printed and I have to decide on the artwork for the sleeves. Not that I plan to do "design by committee" but I've received different feedback on this so I thought I'd ask the crowd. Attached is a pic of the full T (as currently suggested) and the artwork for the sleeve. The artwork is rather subtle with some skydiving figures (which can also be confused with s - not per se a bad thing!) and a Dropzone.com logo in the do. Some folks thought I should make the sleeves a bit "louder" and print "dropzone.com" in white up the sides, replacing the artwork. What do you think?

Deuce 1 #4 June 2, 2003 Hey, if you gotta go, GO LOUD! Do the artwork in Fire Engine Green or something. Or put a bunch of red goggled screaming heads on there! LOUD! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Muenkel 0 #5 June 2, 2003 I didn't think either was too loud, therefore I voted for "make it loud." BTW, will the sale of these shirts go for the support of this site? Chris _________________________________________ Chris Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

skydiverbob 0 #7 June 2, 2003 I'd prefer more contrast on the artwork on the sleeves, as is it seems too subtle, almost hard to see, kick it up a notch!Who Dares Wins Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wmw999 2,545 #8 June 2, 2003 My personal feelings are to make it loud. That said, you'll probably sell more if you make it subtle. Because, for instance, "loud" could include the dreaded pink . Either way, I'll almost certainly get one no matter what color it comes in. Wendy W.There is nothing more dangerous than breaking a basic safety rule and getting away with it.

jerry81 10 #9 June 2, 2003 From my amateur-designer point of view- keep it subtle. The sleeve design looks quite stylish as it is, white print would be just too loud. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Cornholio 0 #11 June 2, 2003 I think the way it is now, is perfect. However, the one suggestion I could make would be to pay a bit more and get custom shirts with our screen name imprinted on them.

bmcd308 0 #13 June 2, 2003 That is awesome, but I'd suggest making the artwork white rather than blue for more contrast. Since that was not a choice, I would prefer the white lettering. But I'm getting one regardless. Brent ---------------------------------- www.jumpelvis.com Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lummy 4 #14 June 2, 2003 I like the pattern on the sleeves but I don't like the "SQUARISH" look of the pattern. If you go with the pattern, can I suggest a stripe from shoulder all the way to cuff, maybe an inch or two thick. OR at the cuff, flare it out n around.. Just my 2 cents, and with that thrown in is worth about..... 2 cents...... ;)I promise not to TP Davis under canopy..

skymama 37 #15 June 2, 2003 I like the artwork exactly as it is, but maybe in white so it would show up better in pictures. You know, skydiving is all about looking cute.

LouDiamond 1 #17 June 2, 2003 I like the current look but am also for a louder sleeve color say like red or white. I also think flames would look good either the original dropzone.com letters with flames around them or the actual letters being flames with smaller flames around them.
