A retro tribute to the Concord.

please comment, constructive criticism most welcome ;P

nice composition, why is it spelt with 'k's though?

the 'k' looks better, if i used 'c's then its would end up looking to circular... in my opinion anyway

The C could just look like the opposite of the D couldn't it?

yeah, but then all the letters are very circular, i like to angles of the K, makes it seem more retor, or do you think i should change it

You could also do it the same way you did the K, except make the left side half the circle with a triangle cut out.



I just don't get the K thing. If there is no reason for it aside from aesthetic preference. but go with it if thats what you feel it should be.

I agree about the K thing, it detracts from the design, which is great, because there is no reason for it.

I agree with daneillegarden,

Unlike the majority of other commentators, I'm okay with the 'K". However, because of the design, the 'N' looks like an 'A'.

i'll do a new version (",)

I dig it, nice retro vibe and well designed. Won't do well for the general threadless voters though, but who cares, it's good work.

thanks, yeah i know its not very 'threadless' which is sad :(

any other feedback people...please :)

a different version using advice from previous comments... please look at previous versions as well... Please comment :)

?

I really like this. Go with it.



It's a pic of a concorde. I think many people with say it's boring or why would I want a picture of a concord on my shirt but I'd buy it. It's excellent.

gee thanks, which version do you prefer?

i like the 3 angled stripes from v1, but maybe if they were on the same angle as the fuselage of the concord.... would tie it in a bit better. good job

i like the concorde too but whats with the redcross? i was a medic in the army and im pretty sure you cant just put a redcross (5 squares of equal size) on just anything.

i pefer the coloured lines in the previous version, more like a 70's print

but im a big fan of the red cross graphic, and so far as im aware it isnt a copyright infringement :)

not copyright, more a moral one.



"The Red Cross is defined as a protection symbol in Article 7 of the 1864 Geneva Convention ("The distinctive emblem") and Article 38 of the 1949 Geneva Convention ("For the Amelioration of the Condition of the Wounded and Sick in Armed Forces in the Field"). Any Red Cross on white background should be valid and must be recognized as a protection symbol in conflict."

lucky im not in a war zone ;P



i dont reckon using the red cross out of context is a taboo though, any more than happening to use a red crescent graphic somewhere in your design is.



but thanks for the feedback :)

I dont think the red cross is too taboo, I think you could use it but I dont think it makes a whole lot of sense for it to be there one having nothing to do with the other and seems that placement there is more for symmetrical value than anything else. I just saw this pic of an old concord and if you look at the tail fin there is a symbol on it that might look better in place of the cross, here is the pic. concord.



I would wear this shirt, and I would give it a $5 but The simplicity of the design might not gather many of those kinds of scores here.

thanks for the link Danielle :)

its strange how the (voters) general aesthetic is so set, a particular style :D

v.1



The three stripes were perfect.



Just submit it. It'll score low, but that's what happens with good design on threadless. Look at the I love Coffee tee that just got printed.

yeah i see what you mean

too horizontal. diagonal it up a bit.

like v1? or more diagonal?

K thanks peeps, i submitted V1

I agree with Robsoul. I liked the stripes, and I like the idea of making them the same angle as the Concord.



And, hey, if it doesn't print, you can always just find someone to help you make them yourself. That's what I do with my failed designs. :)

I liked the stripes more as well.

yup, thats the plan, i'll just print them locally if they dont go down well... :) thanks peeps

it looks awesome mate

Good idea..

Well done.

I like this one!

i like the concord without any type -- or something less literal instead.

something bout speed, luxury, rest in peace, etc.
