About my design

by Rhodescholar
Everyone loves a good Palindrome some might like "radar" others may like "madam" but My favorite is "Racecar",



I really had a kids shirt in mind when I made this.

all of these fonts together are really awful. and i feel like you could have totally had so much fun with this slogan if you had done it by hand, rendered 'racecar' and then rendered all the letters backwards to better show the whole concept.



it could have been such a winning idea, but i think it's a really poor design.

agreed with ginette. It is not very clear that you are talking about a palindrome.

I agree, the use of the fonts together just doesn't work

What I meant to say, is this would be much more clever if the whole phrase was a palindrome.

Awesome idea but could be so much better

I never noticed racecar was a palindrome, lol. Love the idea.



Might I suggest taking out the sign and writing "When U-turn your racecar around, etc..." along with U-shaped tire treads?

I love it :)

But it may be better if the text was all the same, except for the racecar bits?

I like the design...although if this design is for younger kids--then palindrone does not apply. ( I think )

Agree 100% with ginette, multiple typefaces are generally really bad design - chose one that's fitting and play with the typography more, they way you've laid it out is kind of basic as well, a lot more could be done to improve the type alone.

this is a bad design... maybe create the racecar from the text itself and leave the rest out
mat redvers
mat redvers on Jan 10 '09
muliple typeface designs can work if they are interesting enough,hand rendered and nicely textured
zoonjoo

ditch the type and instead have an actual racecar driving backwards with RACECAR printed on the side.

Oh, there are way too many conflicting fonts on here....



Why don't you letter it yourself?

this could have been really fun. The fonts are terrible and the race car seems pasted on. See what you can do as a re-submit.
