New Plowboys Team Shirts

[Plowboy]

Went out today to take advantage of no sales state or county sales tax this weekend. Bought a few t-shirts and started getting some ideas. Thinking about doing this shirt for fall with a long sleeve T. Thoughts on how to improve? I'm not much of a graphics artist, but I can do a pretty good job of layout in Illustrator.

I think if you arc the copy, you'll be able to get the image larger on the shirt. And since you have a lot of letters in your name, that will make for better readability.

[Plowboy]

Kind of like this better. Good point, Bob.

Try adding Pork Pullin in a smaller pt size above "lowboy". Let's see what that looks like.

[Rookie'48]

That's lookin' good Todd, but I still think that the old ones with the tractor are cool, too. :biggrin:

Tried that in a few different ways. Looks busy.

Then just print the "Pork Pullin" in black :biggrin: ... at least I assume that's the color of the shirt.

It's probably the artist in me, but the ye olde English font clashes big time with the tribal armband thing goin' on in the middle (especially with the post-modern "pullin" verbiage). It's kinda like Shakespeare meets modern tribal armband tattooed freak. There are a ton of modern fonts out there that would tie the two together.

You might try this font (http://www.fontpool.com/fonts/doubletwo/xxii_black_block.html) (bottom version), or this one (http://www.dafont.com/dark11.font).

Just my $0.02,
John

Chit! Good Point.

Check my edit above. I added it after you had replied.

The second one looks like it should be Plowboys ... FROM HELL!!! :icon_devil I got scared just looking at the font. :twisted:

[Bigdog]

The W looks like an M. My .02

[Slamdunkpro]

I don't care for the Old English font either.




just sayin'

[Bigmista]

The W looks like an M. My .02

That's what I was gonna say. I tend to go for readability over design.

[Porky]

Can I get one in an XL? Any design will be ok with me.

Todd, I was going to say the Olde English font didn't seem to fit BBQ. Nice ideas though. Look forward to seeing the final version. I'm trying to put something together for Sloppy Creek before the Royal!

[Rhapsody]

I actually think the Old English looks good, I like going for things that aren't always seen , it gets you noticed and remembered. I agree about the tribal band though, you could get the same type of effect if you added something like a crest to the center instead, you could even have a pig somehow in there, if that's your thing.

[Sledneck]

I like ye olde number 2

[clubjoe]

Todd I would have to agree with this. When I first saw it I thought the W was a M.

I thought the "P" was a "D". You sure don't want to be dullin' your pork! :shock:

Better than thinking the P was a B. Can't take another Blowboys incident. :mad:
