FUDcon Tempe shirt

[Emily Dirsh]

I've got an initial design for the back of the shirt posted here:
http://emichan.fedorapeople.org/FudconTempe/hohokam.png (source file is
in the same location). It's inspired by the art of the Hohokam who once
lived in the area. I've got one more concept I'd like to explore, but I
haven't got it finished/postable yet. Anyway, feedback (as always) is
welcome.

Wow that is **gorgeous**, I love it! I would love a shirt with that
design in it! 

The main feedback I have - I think is easy to adjust for if you want -
is that a lot of FUDcon attendees say they prefer darker-colored shirts.
Would the design work in a white ink on a black or navy shirt?

Thanks for the positive feedback! :) (You too, Jef!)

Ooh, I love the idea of a navy shirt! Yeah, the advantage to a
single-color design is it's very easy to adjust the color. ;) Jef
already posted a few variations for a dark background, but of course, I
had to do a few of my own. I've got one that's primarily the light
fedora blue [1] and one that's primarily the dark fedora blue [2] - I
thought just inverting the black to white was a bit too stark, but I did
like leaving in the white background on the boxes. I personally prefer
the light blue variation (I think it would look great on a navy
shirt :)). I'll post my other concept as soon as it's ready! :)

The darker one will be perfect on a Black Dashiki (kaftan) or Agbada
(boubou). This is good african stuff.

This one is my preference: i like better the darker blue and the added 
white provides the needed contrast for the design to stand out.

Woah Emily, this is great! :)

Here's a few quick and dirty stabs at a dark shirt version:

White on black: http://schendje.fedorapeople.org/temp/shirt2.png
Dark blue: http://schendje.fedorapeople.org/temp/shirt.png
Mixed blues: http://schendje.fedorapeople.org/temp/shirt3.png

(The colors are off again on Fedora here, be warned)

But we'll get to that later. Love what you've done here so far (especially
the little Foundation bubbles).

Looking forward to seeing your other concept!

I don't think there's nearly enough clear space around the Fedora logo.
It doesn't need to meet guidelines -- it's fairly obvious that Fedora's
brand hasn't "changed," which is the main reason for clear space -- but
it wouldn't hurt to make the logo a tad smaller or move everything
around it out. Just my USD 0.02 :)

Other than that, really friggin' sweet design, now even more excited for
FUDCon :)

I think the design is totally amazing.  I also would like to see the
logo have more space around it -- but I don't think it should get any
smaller.  If anything, might be cool to see the Fedora logo get bigger
relative to the rest of the design, so the surrounding designs begin
to resemble a sort of tribal construction around it.  In any case,
it's a fantastic design.

I like the design also, and the logo is too small. :)

So, since my other idea didn't really work out - this is the concept,
people! :) So, if anyone has any feedback, now is the time for it! 

Right now, I'm under the impression that the dark blue and white design
on a black background [1] is the overall favorite. There has also been
some talk that the logo needs to be adjusted. I think one person said
smaller, someone else said larger, ;) so if anyone else has any feedback
on the relationship of the logo to the rest of the design speak now or
forever hold your horses. 

Anyway, I'm going to finish up the design, add in the fudcon
information, put together some small graphic for the shirt front, and
post back to the list for final feedback within the next few days, so
please please pretty please post any feedback to the list asap!

Thanks everyone!

Emily

I was one of the people who asked for "larger," plus a little clear
space around the logo. :-) I think the mixed color design otherwise
tends to overwhelm the logo somewhat.
