my new idea/design

XHonusWagnerX - 11-5-2008 at 09:16 AM

This is really rough, but I think its a good idea. I just dont really know how to make the names an actual circle insted of 4 seperate archs that dont line up 100%. Also, I dont think its high-res enough to print as a shirt and I dont know how to fix that either.

I would like to do 2 versions. One thats like this, but with the names in a better circle and any glitches fixed up and one like that, but with the names Marky, Mikey, Chrissy, Jackie.

Use illustrator and do a live trace on it, you'll get hi res then no stress.

xoversux - 11-5-2008 at 09:18 AM

I like it, but I'm not cool with being referred to as Chrissy.

joemaconmovies - 11-5-2008 at 09:20 AM

it's a good idea, which is why darkbuster already did it

XHonusWagnerX - 11-5-2008 at 09:55 AM

I know that Darkbuster did it... along with the rest of the free world.....

honus, ramones cover bands don't count. and i figured that darkbuster and slapshot are both boston bands

XHonusWagnerX - 11-5-2008 at 10:41 AM

I get what you're saying, but those are not all tribute bands.

I guess most bands have done stuff that other bands did first.

The Dropkick Murphys have a shirt with crossed hockey sticks on it.
The Bosstones basicly took the bulldog from the Slapshot shirts and put devil horns on it.
and hundreds of other bands have duplicated ideas as well....

ShawnRefuse - 11-5-2008 at 10:57 AM

Yeah it is a time for rip offs. At some point we will do our AF shirt with Chucks instead of combat boots (get ready Steve). Go for it.

joemaconmovies - 11-5-2008 at 11:05 AM

eh, alright

always a good design, i have a shirt with nikes instead of boots.

XHonusWagnerX - 11-5-2008 at 11:35 AM

Yeah... the converse in place of the boots doing an AF parody is awesome and will totally sell!

And it doesnt matter at all that Mental (another Boston band) did the AF shirt with Nikes in place of the boots and like Panz just posted The Ice aparently made almost the same shirt as Mental did.

panzerkreuzer - 11-5-2008 at 11:40 AM

oh, mental did the same? did not know that. i should listen to them again, were a good band.

Discipline - 11-5-2008 at 12:16 PM

Clenched Fist also did an AF style shirt with shoes instead of boots.

ShawnRefuse - 11-5-2008 at 12:32 PM

Yeah, never said it was the most original idea but ours will still look different enough from those.

I'd like to see the Clenched Fist one if anyone has it.

We'd have "Boston Hardcore/Punk" in the circle type around it.

I wasnt saying anything negative at all. If something is a good enough idea for 1 band to do it then its a good enough idea for more than 1 band to do it!

Do I really come off that defensive? I was just describing the new design, and interest in seeing the Clenched Fist version. Chill. Haha.

Hopefully I will be able to get into the Welfare show Saturday and finally meet ya in person.

no probably not... it was probably me... sorry about that!

I'll be at the show

Jason the Magnificent - 11-5-2008 at 01:25 PM

I think CF did the AF rip off first, I have one of those shirts from like 97ish?

Discipline - 11-5-2008 at 02:47 PM

Yeah, it was some time ago. I had one but it got ripped to shreds at a show with a crazy pit.

gavin - 11-5-2008 at 02:48 PM

the beltones did the a.f. thing with converse as well

ShawnRefuse - 11-5-2008 at 02:58 PM

The beltones one is pretty cool (kinda too photo-realistic for me). It's on their myspace. I think we'll still do a small run. I know I am not knocking them off, and if it's already been done, so be it. :crazy:

Let's get this forum back to honus's design.

MarkV - 11-5-2008 at 04:37 PM

Bands really need to stop ripping off other bands' logos. All the ripoff logos were "hot" like 10 years ago (other bands and retail stores, etc).
Shit's just totally beat now.

I think its just a matter of opinion really. I know that alot of people dont like them, but I think most of them are funny. Plus if you can take a cool band and combine them with the logo of another cool band than thats like getting to wear 2 cool shirts at once. Just my opinion though.

JUICE MAYNE MSHC - 11-5-2008 at 08:14 PM

This is the one we did many years ago.

Trapped Under Ice has one now with Timberlands on it

God knows I'm definitely one of those people, but this shit looks good when you're doing it, xHonusx. I'd wear all of the shirts you're making.

wow... thats a huge compliment especially coming from a a real artist compared to what I do! Thanks a lot!
