I voted for good, but needs work because I think u could add some effects to the big blue godfather font. Maybe stroke or shadow, or both. And the blue could be darker imo... I'm not feeling the small font either, too light maybe.

The idea is great tho... connected?

like i said to ya earlier in that email, the printing really works best with solid colours.  (white is 'transparent')

I didnt want to mess around with effects too much.. try show me some examples if you want though. the font is called Corleone ;)

the small font is because i didnt want it to stand out very much, i just chose a random light grey for this test. not happy with width of the text underneath, but i'm at work so i knocked it up in 5 mins :)

I dont like it very much.  Not sure what the question mark is for either  ???  I think Id like to see a hand throwin up a W on there.

a hand throwing up a 'W' is so played out!



"Connected?"

means are you knowing about "west coast connection forum"
i.e.... are you connected?

the mafia/godfather font is a further play on that.. too deep for ya?

I like it, but here goes my Idea....
I think you should take the logo from any one of californias professional sports orginizations weather it be past or present (throw back style). and flip it some how to reflect the forum. or even an outline  of the state of cali on the sleeve real small. holla back and let me know what you think.

add a hand throwing up the westcoast sign above "connected?" and it will be much nicer

enter the competition.. this thread isnt for ideas.. its for discussing the designs.

there are reasons which i've explained here and in the competition thread why graphic intensive designs dont work.

i'm pretty unimpressed with competition entries so far. had some lame ass slogan suggestions... stuff like "west coast bitch" "west side = the best side"...  or submissions of designs on black backgrounds and all kinds... when i've stated the entries are ~slogans~, but font suggestions are welcome.

people really this stupid?!?

Title: Re:What ya'll think of this t-shirt design?
Post by: Sven on April 19, 2004, 08:35:12 AM
Well as long as the "logo" for example the outlines of the state, I'm sure it will work. Sorry for posting this here seer...
Title: Re:What ya'll think of this t-shirt design?
Post by: Don Seer on April 19, 2004, 08:42:19 AM
yeah it would work.. but someone has to enter it/provide the logo.. u know the rules!!


add a hand throwing up the westcoast sign above "connected?" and it will be much nicer

cheesier you mean.

people who want graphics. read the rules of the damn SLOGAN competition.

i'll tell you this, my personal designs will have no fuckin cheesy throwing up dubs on them.. i cant believe ya'll want the same 10 year old played out bullshit!!

if one wins the comp then so be it.... but any entry that uses graphics has to provide them.

The C looks funny, other than that it's cool

Post by: Lord Funk on April 19, 2004, 08:55:48 AM
Like it a lot... it's just subtle.

And Seer's right - you wouldn't catch me wearing a t-shirt with the 'W' sign on... people would think it was an Ali G t-shirt round my parts  ;)

Only thing I'd say, like Sven, is that the text underneath is too light. And maybe it could be in a 'funkier' font?
Title: Re:What ya'll think of this t-shirt design?
Post by: Don Seer on April 19, 2004, 08:59:58 AM
^ glad someone understands me...  the text underneath isnt really meant to be obvious.. its like that "come closer to read trick" on some shirts.

adon.. that 'c' thing is a part of the godfather font..




for those without any brains, free thought or originality heres one i made for ya'll to keep you happy  :D

Post by: CRAFTY on April 19, 2004, 10:02:37 AM
^^^^LMAO!
Anyway...I like the design. Although the "C" should be a little bit more longer, not too much, 'cause as you said, it's part of that Godfather font.
Title: Re:What ya'll think of this t-shirt design?
Post by: Diabolical on April 19, 2004, 11:55:45 AM
I like it but I agree about the 'c' being too short.
Title: Re:What ya'll think of this t-shirt design?
Post by: Don Seer on April 19, 2004, 12:00:43 PM
if you compare to the godfather cover its the right length!

ok so its needs a lil tweaking.. mostly in the dept of the font thats underneath, and maybe the colour (my fave col #000080 lol  :'()

I wouldn't wear a hiphop or rap themed shirt, so maybe my opinion is useless.  My opinion is though that it's a good idea, but it's just kind of 'plain' looking.  I agree with you, however, that you can't make something really cheesy, and you can't do big complicated graphics.  The best designs are the simplest.  The Godfather theme, if more obvious, would do the trick, but I didn't recognize it until it was pointed out.  So to me it just looked like an arty way to font 'connected?'.  Maybe I'm in the minority though and others will immediately grasp the godfather theme.

Post by: Eddie G. on September 07, 2004, 10:10:33 PM
I think you should just go with a "DubCC" T-Shirt instead of a witty phrase like "Connected?"  Maybe make the Cs or the "b" into some dubs?

lol make that "BEEEYATCH" and add "WESSIDE IS DA BESS SIDE" below (capitals!) and u got a nice shirt

...

me personally i like the shirt, though i gotta admit i don't find it mind-blowing. like Trauma i didn't realize it was the Godfather design at first sight, even though when it was pointed out i recognized immediately...maybe u could experiment with different colors than just blue on white, generally i think it ain't bad

and i support that 2000+ post idea ;D

Post by: T-Dogg on September 08, 2004, 08:02:17 AM
It's aaight, but I think the grey text below is of a too light color. You'd have to press your nose against my chest to read that text off my shirt. And unless you're some sexy mama - I don't play that.

However, I think just "DubCC" would be the best. Keep it simple like that, you know?

Oh and whatever lil' scheme that involves me getting free stuff I'm down with. ;)

its tight,  But if someone outside of the forum sees it, they may not know it has anything to do with west coast hip hop

yeah BUT... when someone says.. whats that about.. you explain...


viral marketing.. a level deeper that thrusting stuff in peoples faces..

Post by: Timmeeeehh on September 08, 2004, 09:33:25 AM
Ehmmm.... Point one (stupid question coming!) what has the godfather to do with westcoast-rap  ::)
Point two, I would add an image or something, not just text..
Point three, is it okay if you make you're own image and post it? (If I have some spare time, I would love to do that) :) (I am not saying I know the best how to make it, and my design will the best. I defenitely don't say that! :P)

"Connected? Dubcc.com" have this written or something.
