This design is currently in the running for the Democracy Loves comp. After some requests to change the angel of the pen I have redraw it and added a much needed background layer for more depth . As this is very much an icon American reference I have also added some US imagery like the subtle American flag on the ground (right side) and a hint of the flag & colours on the bottom edge bleed – the red blob can also we viewed as a single drop of blood.

Please let me know what you think of these changes (here or on the original sub below) and if you have any further suggestions I’ll probably re-sub this design at some stage as the additions are quiet drastic – sorry for any confusion & I hope you like!

more detail...(please see notes on previous version above) THX

That's interesting.. but I did 5'd your original already :)

thx marco! I felt the old version lacked depth & I think the background adds to the story line - @ least I hope it does!

please check out the previous version (V1) for product placement...

i like it but don't understand the bottom

nevermind

thats far enough notkin, it started out life as a ink splat but I felt it needed more purpose - also I wanted to incorporate the flag as its really the only element missing from the original photograph by Rosenthal hence the inclusion of the star and red splat...

*fair enough

sorry wasn't meant to sound like a comand - up against the wall & spread them kind of thing
