just a simple idea to illustrate the bands name... i wanted to incorporate the "shout out louds" birdies...and i think the retro-vintagie-like colors fit the bands unique sound and style...if you havent heard their music go to the contest page and enjoy some cool new music....i really dig it....

hope you all like it......

and as always i welcome comments and constructive crits.....

thanx,

luke...

nice placement and sweet graphic

reminds me too much of the girl who shoots herself and the butterflies..forgot what it's called...

would be better if the birds were different... copy paste technique too apparent...

i love your art on the megaphone but the birds clash.

in response to the comments about the birdies.....if you go to the "shout out louds" website...or the header on the contest site, you will find that this little birdie icon is used as kind of a logo for the band......a small flock of identical bird icons are next to their name......i didnt want to show literal birds flying out of a megafone....rather, the birds are a symbol to represent the band..."shout out louds" and their music, lyrics, sound that is flying out......amplified.....so they are used as a design icon, rather than an illustration of a flock of birds.....

p.s. hopefully the image expresses the title "loud birds", i liked the play on words from the old slang of calling someone a "bird"...

example: "your a bunch of loud birds..."..........hopefully somebody got that bit..................

and thanx for the comments&crits.....i appreciate the input...

luke...

You could possibly put like 1-3 bird logos on the side of the megaphone. It could be THEIR megaphone.



Still pretty good.

Not bad. That bit in the center of the megaphone opening should be solid, though, so please take away that tiny bird that seems to be coming out of it!

I really like this design. If you wanted me to print it for you i would..i print shirt for people on Threadless sometimes.....anyways get at me if youre serious about this tshirt thing i think i could help you.

i like the birds coming out of the mega phone.it makes sense for the shout out loud logo.

I guess I'm not paying attention.

I don't get what's up with the birds.

I get it now.

What would be great TO if you would remove the birds make the speaker (how is that thing called in english) smaller and place it on the chest (lef for the wearer)

that's a cool idea, but you should draw a couple of different birds, as opposed to copy+pasting the same one.

lemme get at this, $

...in response to your comment luke i was reffering to how the style of the artwork of the megaphone and the style of the artwork of the birds clash. so. yeah.

i want to thank everyone for taking the time to construtively critique...and i am very happy that so many of my fellow threadless members enjoyed my design...

thanx,

luke...
