EB Logo

[Dan]

Following on from a conversation we had last night, we really need to come up with a new catchy logo for Essex Bikers that can be used on clothing, stickers etc. and obviously, the site itself.

If anyone knows of any graphic designers who would either do this out of the kindness of their hearts in return for some advertising on here (main portal page with the rest) or at a reduced cost, then please see if they would be interested.

It would also be good to see any ideas you lot have in this thread... like Jays one.

Once we have this, we can look into getting some branded stuff.

I'm so chuffed that this site has finally got a nice size group of decent people... it was really nice meeting you all last night and i'll really try and make it to more of the outings you plan.

Cheers!

[Lateshift]

Veephwoar, get yer V-Twin ass in here! :D

[DoodleBug]

On my way sir. Bit busy tonight but will have a good think, any ideas you lot have will be a big help, also any good photos of kneedowns that I can draw from, or any other logos you like the look of that I can rip off!

[EverSoSlightlyFasterThanU]

use bikerdude logo i love it like a fat kid loves cake

[2E]

But you are a fat kid that loves cake??? :shock:

[EverSoSlightlyFasterThanU]

ehem... [ed]

[Biker Dude]

use bikerdude logo i love it like a fat kid loves cake

mmmm cake

[EverSoSlightlyFasterThanU]

sorry

[RaceMeNSee]

no dont use that! id hate a sticker of that anywhere on my bike...or anywhere, it looks like a biker site for peados!

[DoodleBug]

Will try and come up with some rough ideas tonight, and no small children will be involved!

[RaceMeNSee]

Phew! and no older children either, god knows each and everyone of em is just a chav now days!

[DoodleBug]

Really busy at work tonight, this is a first effort, not worried about colour at the mo'. trying to come up with one that will work on a T-shirt.

[Robocobb]

for a 1st attempt looks great to me :D

[Lateshift]

Works fine for me that :D :)

[Biker Dude]

looks dated to me... almost late 70's early 80's style. alla bob heath products...

1st try, not bad but keep em coming mate

[Jims]

i agree with biker dude.

Maybe with colours it might look a bit more moder... but the bike is what makes it look dated i think.

[2E]

I agree with bikerdude too, nice first attempt but keep em coming!

[EverSoSlightlyFasterThanU]

i like it

[DoodleBug]

http://uk.geocities.com/karlelliott@btinternet.com/idea2.jpg

I am going home to sleep on it now!

[2E]

i think that 1 was erm..... whats the nicest way to put this...


Not as good as the first? :lol:

[DoodleBug]

http://uk.geocities.com/karlelliott@btinternet.com/try3.jpg

another go, again remember it is just black and white for the Tees, I will add colour and shadows and stuff for online use.

Anyone else gonna have a go??

[The Guvnor]

I like them all.......but the last one..............thats the best ! 8)

[Grinch]

the last one is coolest for a tee..

the first is best for a screen/fairing sticker...



only my humble tho!

[stu600cc]

i like the last 1. I think we'll probaly choose the best of your designs as i cant do that stuff anyone else?

[DoodleBug]

OK, I'll leave it at that, if anyone else wants a go, even if it is just a scribble I can redraw for you, then go for it. Just because you cant draw doesnt mean you have bad ideas. If you are happy to leave it at this then someone needs to set up a vote, and we can get going.

[2E]

ill attempt it if i get a chance

[Dan]

I like the last one, and the one before that - defo a good idea to use the E and B in reverse i think.

Also, dont know if it makes a difference, but we have essexbikers.com as well... dont know what would be better to use.

[DoodleBug]

If .com works then that is always the best one to use.

[2E]

I know this is crap and probably copyrighted but quick attempt...

http://putfile.com/pic.php?pic=11/31705200288.jpg&s=x2

[Juvenilerider]

I think the last one for t-shirts and the 1st one for windsreens :D they're all awesome though :D id of just written essexbikers on blank screen :D well played

[2E]

Ok ive just made the 2nd attempt... i think it looks really good...

http://putfile.com/pic.php?pic=11/31705375786.jpg&s=x2

Please take a look at both attempts... not as good as Veephoaors but im not a pro... :cry:

[The Guvnor]

I know this is crap and probably copyrighted but quick attempt...

http://putfile.com/pic.php?pic=11/31705200288.jpg&s=x2

Its a BMW !!!!!!!!!!!! :evil:

[Tori]

[Biker Dude]

Please take a look at both attempts... not as good as Veephoaors but im not a pro... :cry:


lol, no, really....tooey u suck. anyone can get a clipart picture and stick eb under it... nice try tho

[2E]

And i said i werent a pro...

Still lets see what Veephoar come up with now...

[Juvenilerider]

Please take a look at both attempts... not as good as Veephoaors but im not a pro... :cry:

LMAO! you one funny f**ker :D

[Biker Dude]

Thank you, Thank you.....i'm here all week

[2E]

Thank you, Thank you.....i'm here all week

Before i even opened this, i knew you would say that...

If i had placed bets on you saying that i would be a millionaire! :D

[Biker Dude]

next time let me know in advance and i'll put a bet on with you and we'll both be ritch

[Tori]

I'll take that as a no then.....


I'm bored now.



Do we want shirts still? Or shall I leave it to mr r6 dude

[Biker Dude]

we're still waiting on a logo tori...

[DoodleBug]

I take it you want more! I am vv busy today and prob rest of week, I have a couple more ideas but no time to do them. Personally I like the last one I did, anything else I come up with will be different and not necessarily better. Can we take a vote on one of my three plus tooes two and the last option of, they are all crap someone do something else?

[stu600cc]

go for a cartooney bike with big tyres or something? i cant do that stuff

[fall off]

Ok ive just made the 2nd attempt... i think it looks really good...

http://putfile.com/pic.php?pic=11/31705375786.jpg&s=x2

Please take a look at both attempts... not as good as Veephoaors but im not a pro... :cry:

do like that one .. but thats me

[DoodleBug]

Had a quick go a drawing a cartoon bike, as you can see they look fine when coloured (albeit very roughly) but a pile of poo when converted to one colour which is what is needed for t-shirts and stickers, having said that, it is just my opinion, if you lot like 'em I shant throw my toys out of the pram.

http://uk.geocities.com/karlelliott@btinternet.com/caricmon.jpg

http://uk.geocities.com/karlelliott@btinternet.com/caricol.jpg

[mingmingmo]

if you guys still cant come to a conclusion i mess about with pictures and edit them. if you want i would gladly have a go. if you tell me what you want on it then i shall. :)

[Spider]

on the cartoon idea i wouldnt make it model specific make it universal and im refering to the colourscheme not the shape ;) i might av a play around with fireworks lol might get burnt tho ;) see what i come up wit ;)_

[Spider]

http://i21.photobucket.com/albums/b270/thewmb/eblogo.jpg


hehe i know its simple but if n e one wants to use that as an idea ur welcome to! i.e simple shapes to represent the back of a bike and essex biker being on the numberplate hehe! which means easy transfer to t-shirt aswell

[Ride-or-die]

spider, errrr NO!!!!! clever idea tho as it says that everyone will always be following us and thats the only view of an essex biker others will get

[harriebird]

can't believe i have totally missed out this thread! i was in the pub last night and realised i didn't have a clue what was going on :roll:

so here goes

I love the first one and I love the 3rd one.

I love the first one because I love retro stuff and face it, I ride at retro speed so it's good for me! :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

but agree it would look better on stickers.

3rd one would be cool for t-shirts.

and on t-shirts i would rather have a black one with white logo if that's poss.

i thank you :wink:

[DoodleBug]

The logo can be any colour on the tees, but it has to be all one colour, if you see what I mean

[Spider]

LMFAO that was just a 5 min idea lol im sure if sum1 spent sum time on it would look alot better i didnt mean using that actual logo lol cause it looks **** but u see the idea u knwo ;)

[Tori]

can we put all the ideas in one post and then have a vote? :-)

[stu600cc]

lets wait for a few more yeah!

[DoodleBug]

I see some have already been used! :)

[Spider]

yall will see my new design as soon as i can find sum1 who can draw and u will all be amazed and drool! hahhaah

[DoodleBug]

scribble something down or PM me your idea and I'll draw it for you mate

[Biker Dude]

ooooo i like the red/blue logo now :)

[Spider]

well m8 my idea was: to have a cartoony ass end of a bike with a kinda ovasized number plate and then have essexbikers written on the numberplate! a kinda more origenal approach to a logo u know not dissin n e 1 elses just puttin my idea out there if u could draw that for us that would be gr8 ;)

[Spider]

oh also i done this i know it wont go on a t-shirt but still looks kool hehe

http://i21.photobucket.com/albums/b270/thewmb/welcome2ebenhanwitenred3trans.gif

[Biker Dude]

*cough* i helped

[Gazdaman]

I like the one in veephwoar's avatar! The coloured version should be the forum logo at the top left IMO!

Gaz

[Lateshift]

Is this any use to anyone? needs editing though obviously and it certainly doesnt want my disastrous creative touch going anywhere near it :D

http://www.mick753.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/wheelie.jpg

[DoodleBug]

Next time I'm quiet at work I have a few things to do for other people so will do something with that.

[Dan]

Can I have a bigger version of the coloured one? I'll put it up the top and see what it looks like.

[DoodleBug]

Will do

grumble, grumble 10 characters

[Dan]

hehe - not long, i'll remove that ;)

[Spider]

have u removed the limited 5 pics per post thing?

[RaceMeNSee]

not yet! he will do though!

[DoodleBug]

http://uk.geocities.com/karlelliott@btinternet.com/ebwheel.jpg

Thank The Guvnor for putting the idea into my head for this one.

[Ride-or-die]

looks like a BMX tyre to me

[DoodleBug]

:o :o :o :o

Does kinda.

[two]

i was bored so did this..
http://www.britten.yourideal.co.uk/junk/eb1.jpg

[Biker Dude]

looks kinda like tooyes ped i'd imagine

[Spider]

nah looks like two's zx10 and a fine beast she is ;)

[EverSoSlightlyFasterThanU]

its a 636 me thinks

[Spider]

nah def a 10 if ya av seen his 10 ;)

[Ride-or-die]

his happens top be black too

[EverSoSlightlyFasterThanU]

its a 636 i know this

[EverSoSlightlyFasterThanU]

the model is a B-1-H
it has a carbon arcpovich on it

[Juvenilerider]

definately a 636....................... the font on that is the NUTS

[mingmingmo]

its defantally a 636 b1h. well its got the back end of one anyway.

[EverSoSlightlyFasterThanU]

the fact of the matter is that the bike in question is a hyabusa

[Spider]

dont spoil my dream its a 636 with a 10 eninge

[DJMCJERICO]

It looks good but i would'nt have it anywere near my bike, call me a **** (if you do you admit to being gay) as cool as it is it looks like its been shunted up the arse by a transit.

I'm not taking that chance or irony :p

[bikageboy]

wow i missed this thread.

im a graphic designer, but i am flawed.

to be honest, logo's and corporate ID's are not my strong point,
but i will have a go,

i like the one thats being used at the mo, the type sits in just right and the while design seems to "flow"


are you a freelance designer Veephor? or you work for a company?

[DoodleBug]

I am da management at a repro house in London mate.

[bikageboy]

cool, wanna give me a job ? :)

[DoodleBug]

PM what u do and I could always bare you in mind for future, certainly nothing for the forseeable though.

[EverSoSlightlyFasterThanU]

my favorite one is veephours or allong thos lines

i think its time for a poll to see withch one gets it

[FACESLIDER]

Here's what I've come up with.It's my first attempt at anything like this,I quite like it though,not bad cosidering my computor is ****e........

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v650/jreardon/eb222.jpg

[The Guvnor]

I like that !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:clap

[Biker Dude]

ooooooooooo, i'm sold!!

Put a tail section on that bike and it'll look the nuts. At the mo it looks like my vfr...

[FACESLIDER]

Here's some more,there all roughly the same i've just played with the colours and lights and wording,and put a small arse end on my original effort,just for BD.I'm just playing about really, there quite effective though.Not bad for a hairy arse builder....I just wish my computor was a bit quiker.It takes ages to do anything...........Hope you like.......If anyone wants to use the pics for anything,feel free.

[Biker Dude]

the last one with an arse end :D

[Juvenilerider]

:d The Last One!!!!!!!!! :d

[Lateshift]

Last one for me, if the bikes had seat units that is, and if it didnt have the .com (kind of looks out of place to me at the moment, although it will probably grow on me :) )

[Biker Dude]

or maybe a smaller .com under the essex badge

[Spider]

looks schweet

[RaceMeNSee]

Make it so number 1!!! the last one is awsome!

[FACESLIDER]

Here's another one.It's a bit different to the last one...........I couldn't seem to get the same shade ..............



http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v650/jreardon/eb%20logos/logo0.jpg

[Lateshift]

looking gooooood :) :)

[DoodleBug]

Good man faceslider, here is an example of how your bike could be drawn for use on a sticker or Tshirt.

http://uk.geocities.com/karlelliott@btinternet.com/sticker_bike.jpg

[DoodleBug]

Variation on the sticker theme

http://uk.geocities.com/karlelliott@btinternet.com/shield.jpg

[Juvenilerider]

:jumping2 :rockon

[FACESLIDER]

**** hot.Very very nice veephwoar.I was wondering how it would work on T-shirts and stickers..............Love it.......I have to confess,I didn't draw the bikes from scratch,incase anyone thinks I did.The problem is i'm VERY good with a pencil and paper and have quite a good eye for art ,but totally crap with a mouse and computor.So I got an idea in my head then put it on to paper,then browsed the net for hours looking at art sites and I found an artist who had a few scribbles of bikes that looked similar to my ones,although my original drawing has people on the bikes and doing burnouts against the shield. He said that they were free to use as he had done them just for fun.Most of them were crap,so I just took a couple that I liked the look of and adjusted them slightly(like adding the arse and matching the coloring).I just wish I could draw straight on to the computor with a pen,I could do better ones then.It took me bloody ages trying to adjust those bikes with a mouse,and my mouse jumps and sticks AAAHHHHHHH!!!!!!.
Anyway..........I looooove the sticker theme.......What a team eh!!.........Cheers

[DoodleBug]

With that design, I reckon it would look good with it big, and I mean BIG, across the back of a teeshirt, with maybe just our screen names printed small on the left hand chest area.

That sounds goooooood to me.It's definatly got to be BIG..........Where do i sign.....He He........

[The Guvnor]

I want one !!!!!:rockon

[Juvenilerider]

I like it... in my opion though i'd rather have my user name/signature thing on the back somewhere, maybe across the top, otherwise it'd look a bit uniformish, like, "Hi Im Juvenilerider, I work for Essexbikers.com", its good though :)

[DoodleBug]

Right across the chest then, superman styley! :rockon

[Juvenilerider]

nah i meant have the big logo on ya back but have ya username there somewhere to.... im not very good at describing things ha:reading

[FACESLIDER]

If we had the username across the top of the shirt,some people may have to shorten there name or get very fat,Although you could have a bit at the top and a bit across the bottom depending on your name............Maybe going round the rim of a short sleeve............You definatly need something on the front though..........Maybe a pocket with a smaller copy of the design.........

[harriebird]

ooh i like the idea of a sleeve thing, sounds grand

yet again i have missed out on the latest developments on the logo thing, i wondered where guvnor's new avatar had come from. i am sooooo slow - good to see it's not just a bike thing! and i am in charge of loads of public money! hahahahhahahahahahah

[Juvenilerider]

maybe a small version on the front? on ya chest or something? who know's ha

[FACESLIDER]

Something for the gents,

[fall off]

well i must say they r the best so far ..face slider ...:clap:skip

[FACESLIDER]

It's a joint effort,by me and veephwoar with some great tips from other members........

[DoodleBug]

Credit where credit is due mate, it is your design, I just pushed the pixels around a bit. I feckin love the way it looks on a tshirt. :rockon

[FACESLIDER]

Those t-shirts are £15 and come in white,grey,light blue and pastel green.What i may do is order just one and see what the quality is like in the flesh so to speak.They look good on the computor screen but I'd like to see what the print comes out like.There's lots of other styles of t-shirt as well,long sleeve,polo shirt,v-neck.Same with the girls,there's a few different styles of top.....Oh......and hoodys and sweatshirts.......

[Biker Dude]

how bout this for a quick idea....

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v285/essexbikers/Random%20Stuff%20HERE/bd3.jpg



It's just so we can get an idea of what they're like

[harriebird]

i think i will just stick to having mine on the sleeve but that's coz my username has got 'bird' in it!!!!

any black tshirts at all? and i LOVE the girls one, i always disappear under baggy tshirts!!!!

[Juvenilerider]

Would we all have to have our names in the same place to save confusion?? I want, "Racing is Life..." on mine :D

[Jetski]

Well lads - proper job!! The design is looking fantastic :)

Faceslider, since you are running rapidly with this one, maybe once you've had a look at one and if you think the quality is spot on - maybe you should get a paypal account or similar (you may already have one) so peeps can put there orders in, you get cash up front and everyone is happy :D :D

[FACESLIDER]

We need to make a decision on the user name business.The problem is,if people want to have there name or something else written the cost and the work is gonna go up.Most places do a discount if you buy a batch,but if there all slightly different then i would assume that they would have to be printed individually witch could cost more,but I'm not sure I'll look into it.Also depending on the name,you need to decide where you want it,in what font,size then send it to me then I would have to position it on the blank t-shirt (to the users requirements).Then I would send it on to the company,and with the speed of my computer and the amount of people who could possible want a t-shirt it could take me ages.
Also some people names are quite long,for example(eversoslighltyfasterthanu)
That's some name to get on a shirt,you could split it or make the lettering smaller,but if the letters are to small it would look to squashed and unreadable.It may look OK on the screen but in the flesh it could look pants(had the same prob with a couple of my tattoos).
So, really we need to come to a 100% decision on design(although i think everyone 's happy with the design,if your not or think it needs changing or something added please say,)and weather we have user name or not and where to put it.Another option is get them as they are and let the individual get there names put on.There's plenty of places that do that...... if it turns out that everyone has there heart set on user names as well,then I'll get it done.I'm gonna email some places today anyway,so they can advise me on the best way of doing it.I'm actually really enjoying doing this,I've finally found something I can make a worth while contribution to.(Apart from the joke section,even then there not really worth while).
So basically is desiccation time........What do you think guys&gals
I need a 100% answer on what I should do.....
........Cheers.....
I dont think Dan has seen the design yet.......

[Juvenilerider]

to save time money and effort i think leave 'em blank and if people want names etc.c.. get em done themselves? thats what ill do

[Juvenilerider]

i didnt mean BLANK i mean, put the logo on the back n front nd let people do the names seperately

[Jetski]

A place local to here will do black and white printing, large logo on back, small one on front for £6 + VAT per tee. If individual names are wanted on sleeves, it would be approx another £1.50 + Vat per tee.

I reckon, see how much FS gets quoted, then decide whether names are necessary... after all, he is putting in all the effort of getting it sorted, it might be better not to complicate it further :D

I've got a friend with an auto embroidery machine (small scale!), it could even be an idea to just get the tees screen printed, then, get names embroidered on the sleeves, small size, before they're dished out :)

Sounds good to me :D

[FACESLIDER]

I've justed emailed a place in kent.They will do one with a small logo on the front for £4.95 +vat.They can do a big one on the back but they never had the price.I cant see it being much more.I've asked them loads of questions in the email about prices for names and bulk orders, can I have a sample etc etc.
I only really used that last place for the photo.It was the best one I could find to show everyone what it would look like,Then everyone loved it.I'm still gonna get one from them to see what the quality is like.It's only £15.
I've got to get samples though from whoever i try.I aint getting any old **** that will fade after one wash......
As soon as i here back from any of these places I'll let you all know.....Cheers people

[FACESLIDER]

I've just had a reply from xstream in Kent and they said

"Hi,

Many thanks for contacting us. We would be able to do this for you but for a print like this we would need a minimum order of x10 garments.
White TShirt with large back print and left breast print one colour - £9 + vat
White Ladies TShirt printed as above £9 + vat

For a printed name on arm in one colour please add £1.50 + vat

Many thanks, Fiona Hughes"


I'm just about to contact the place who does my work shirts see what they quote me.Maybe, if you dont mind JETSKI,you could show a copy of the design to that place near you and see what they come up with:grin2 :grin2
I was thinking last night,should I really be doing this.Have I jumped the gun a bit here.I mean,I'm trying to sort this all out (which i'm quite happy to do)and really i'm just a nobody.I feel like i've sort of butted in .Shouldn't the decision have to come from the top so to speak.If this is the case then I apologise.Originaly I was just going to post a few designs,but everyone liked them and i sort of got a bit carried away.If no one minds me doing it then i'm quite happy to carry on:jumping2 :jumping2 :jumping2 :jumping2 :jumping2 :jumping2

[Juvenilerider]

I like it, im happy with it all :D

[Robocobb]

im quite new too but i would be happy with this. Perhaps if there is some concern a poll should be set up?:jumping2 Or just give Dan or the mod the final say?

[Biker Dude]

hey i am the top..well other than dan. But i think they're all good. Go for it mate... see if they'll do a sample tee.

[Dan]

Hi all - and cheers Jay for lobbing this thread under my nose ;)

I love the idea of using the Essex Swords in the logo - looks really good, well done FACESLIDER.

veephwoar - your smaller version with just the bike is also good - would be cool i think if the bike itself had the essex swords and {EB} or summit on it.

It would be good if we could have a full blown version like this, and also a smaller one to use in places where a big logo is too much.

This is just my opinion, but I do not like white t-shirts. I've had them done before for other things and although they look the nuts in images on the net, when you get them they can look a bit plain/cheap. What about a black t-shirt with the logo in white or another colour? or a grey t-****... just a suggestion ;)

Lastly, the username thing... I think it would be a lot of ag and a lot more dollar to have the usernames printed. It would work out a lot cheaper to get a job lot of different sizes, and then if you want the username put on, have that done yourself at a printers.

Let me know what you think :grin2

i like the swords they're so cool

white means you have to be careful when you do your washing, i don't own many white clothes for the colour run/greying reason

[Jetski]

if you dont mind JETSKI,you could show a copy of the design to that place near you and see what they come up with:grin2 :grin2
I was thinking last night,should I really be doing this.Have I jumped the gun a bit here.I mean,I'm trying to sort this all out (which i'm quite happy to do)and really i'm just a nobody.I feel like i've sort of butted in .Shouldn't the decision have to come from the top so to speak.If this is the case then I apologise.Originaly I was just going to post a few designs,but everyone liked them and i sort of got a bit carried away.If no one minds me doing it then i'm quite happy to carry on:jumping2 :jumping2 :jumping2 :jumping2 :jumping2 :jumping2

Oooooh faceslider - you're obviously not feeling appreciated!! So I think that everybody should appreciate faceslider a bit more. You're doing a grand job of it and at the end of the day, with you putting the effort in, you get an awful lot of say as to what the end product is :D Don't worry so much :D It looks awesome :D I'll get in touch with that printing co and show them the design etc and get a quote :D Get back to you soon as I've heard. Chill winston!! :D

Just had a really sh*tty couple of days, will have a look at a redraw later.

Chill winston!! :D

hahahaha I haven't heard that in so long

Cheers jetski,I'm allright now i've had me chill pill:grin2 Got to admit,i dont like white t-shirts either.Grey and black would be nice with a white logo,or maybe black logo on the grey...HHMMMMMM.......When veephwoar has a redraw i'll put some logo's on T-shirts(like before)Just so people can get a rough idea what they will look like.I'm still waiting to here from a couple of printers.I'll leave contacting anymore,just untill we're certain on what we're having.
I'm pleased everyone likes the swords.I thought we needed something to represent Essex aswell as bikes.So whats better than the Essex shield.....................A white stileto:grin3 .........or maybe not:grin2 :grin2 :rockon :rockon

grey does the job for me, also i am led to believe that grey seems to be a popular choice with T shirt printers as its a neutral colour that doesnt give many problems with colour running etc and maintains the true colours of the actual print ;)

[Biker Dude]

Hi all - and cheers Jay for lobbing this thread under my nose ;)

Hey, it's what i'm here for :D

I think a black tee with white logo would be a good place to start.. then if things work out, maybe expand in to diff colours... and after a think, user names would be better put on by the user if that's what they want... makes life that much easier for the printer and cheaper for us

[DoodleBug]

Right, I have come out the other side of the hell that was last week. I am going to draw up the design in hires before anyone gets ought printed. I will try and do it this weekend if I stay awake. (I'm getting too old to go three days with only 10 hours sleep!). I'm not fussed what colour we go for but will have a word with my lil' brother about having names put on shirts afterwards. If we only do a few at a time he may be able to slip 'em though at work gratis. I will see him tomorrow and check. I am now going to have a very long, very hot bath and chill out.

[The Guvnor]

They look superb ! Well done guys.
One thing, I hate black tshirts, feel like a vicar !!! Could we not go for the Ice Blue. looks good.

[Biker Dude]

i was thinkin of like a sky blue, like the NOS bottles for those that know. But didnt think anyone else would go for it..

[harriebird]

i can live with sky blue it just requires a bit of thought on the undies front

[Juvenilerider]

Blues good for me

[RaceMeNSee]

Tis my fave colour!:skip

[EverSoSlightlyFasterThanU]

[fall off]

[mungo]

[mingmingmo]

[Speed_Girl]

[Biker Dude]

What's actually going on with this.. have we decided on a logo and /or colours yet?? We really need this sorted b4 the end of feb...which is only 7 weeks away. And with {eb}'s track record it'll take that long to get the dolla from everyone :D

Make choices people

[DoodleBug]

I thought we had decided on Facesliders one, and was just waiting on me to do the final drawing. If you could set up a poll that we can run over the next week, with all the suggestions on we can get it sorted within the fortnight. Looking forwards to getting my hands on one of these Tees!

[Biker Dude]

sorry to introduce this at a late date but i have seen this on another forum and wonder whether the (ever-expanding number of) girlies would be up for these? dunno about you but i think they'd be just the ticket under leathers in the summer ladies.

i can't remember who is sorting out tshirts etc but is there any chance of something similar?

Hi Dan,
part of my work involves design conceptuals and I am happy to throw some idea's into the pot for discussion, although if there are any idea's already out there it would be handy to hear/see them, some signatures have interesting logo's already these could be used/improved as a basis.

a good starting point for a brain stormer is to say what is not wanted,, cuts lengthy discussions on design issues.
