LostArtist Ex Member	Opinions needed 10/03/11 at 18:02:40 would you wear either this: or this: as a t-shirt, imagine the silhouette is of a Savage or whatever you are riding and and a better more dramatic angle. just a rough idea right now. need to design a t-shirt for my graphic design class, this is my default idea if I don't get any more time to work on anything else.

Both bird designs are cool but the 2nd one might look too much like the ford thunderbird logo.

The bike silhouette can be cleaned up to look less cut & paste, make the bottom of tires round and remove the license plate bracket.

Think of how the colors would work on a tee shirt.. are you going to have them screen the silver parts of the bike, or make them white, or leave them the background color of the shirt? Fewer colors = cheaper of course, but limited to light shirts.

Delete "RESPECT" The thing either commands respect or it doesn't.. the viewer doesn't need to be led by the nose to think about respect. Kind of reminds me of girls with "HOTTIE" or "DIVA" across their shirt or ass.

Overall it is a cool design that you could sell many copies of by modifying it for particular bikes. Once you decide on the number of colors it should be easy to figure out how many sales will recoup the cost of the shirts, ink and screens. The savage would probably be a good one to invest in, along with a Harley v-twin and maybe a nondescript cafe racer.

I like the second one. I would clean up the silhouette and ground the wheels on the top of the wings. I would loose the stylized scull and put the bike logo there. and make the rainbow behind the bike lighter or a different colour. (not as bright as the wings). If you do all this you will have more depth to the composition, bringing the wings to the foreground, the bike on top, and the rainbow in the background.

I think a touch of sugar skull would help too:

In your picture it looks as if the rear tire is bigger. Otherwise I like the ensemble. Good luck!

revision 1

it's not a savage, that's why it doesn't look like one, and it's not cleaned up, it's just a placeholder image until I get a cleaned up silhouette ready to go. the bike is more or less interchangeable, I can do one with a savage in it if you all like this enough to go want it. the word "respect" I'm still playing with, may or may not be there in the final design, to me it's important but if I can't get it to work with the design, then I'll take it out no problem. color is also negotiable, I like yellow so I made it this sorched yellow color to go with the trim color on my triumph bonneville logo, that's all. no big deal there.

as far as the owl/skull goes, you knew it was a skull without someone telling you so nuff said.

it is illegal to use company logos without their permission so I haven't done so.

Thank you all for your opinions, they are useful so keep them coming.

I like the un-even spikes(?) on the top side. Bike is about the right size. "Ride" font is good. Maybe try the skull face black instead of white? And maybe a triangle nose instead of diamond? I feel like it needs some vibrant color...
