Hey, nothing wrong with simple, ANO. I think it looks good!I may actually have to try something here. I haven't sat down with Illustrator and PS for a long time. Might be fun!

millster · Post by **millster** » Tue Apr 17, 2007 5:40 am

Looks really nice!The only thing I would say is it might look a tiny bit better if you softened the "seam" lines. They're a little sharp and look out of place with the soft shadows used elsewhere.Still, having done a similar project before, I understand what it takes to get it to come out like this and you did a great job! Heck, mine wasn't even as detailed as yours and it still took forever!

GrayFox · Post by **GrayFox** » Tue Apr 17, 2007 5:43 am

CHEATER!!!!c'mon man I know you can do the wheels looks GREAT

kevera · Post by **kevera** » Tue Apr 17, 2007 5:48 am

Looks great. So,Millster,where's your design.

NascarXprt · Post by **NascarXprt** » Tue Apr 17, 2007 5:52 am

yea with this i took a screen shot and took it into PS and cropped it thats why the "seam" lines look all ruff. ANO, howd you know i started to do the wheels but then i needed this for a school project aswell so i just did the live trace for the rims only. everything else is hand drawn.thanks for the complements.

stevovans · Post by **stevovans** » Mon Apr 23, 2007 1:46 pm

i think it would look better if you take that layer off, its just random on your vector image

MrDoopey · Post by **MrDoopey** » Tue Apr 24, 2007 6:05 am

How much time do we have?

kevera · Post by **kevera** » Tue Apr 24, 2007 6:23 am

There's still time to enter a submission.

kevera · Post by **kevera** » Tue Apr 24, 2007 6:39 am

Well,I have made a prototype of the design that I like.Let me know what you think.

GrayFox · Post by **GrayFox** » Tue Apr 24, 2007 6:49 am

cool I don't really like that pocket design, tho. I think my last one looked better That autocross design is still one of my favorites!

kevera · Post by **kevera** » Tue Apr 24, 2007 6:54 am

This one ANO,

GrayFox · Post by **GrayFox** » Tue Apr 24, 2007 6:59 am

VforVIBE · Post by **VforVIBE** » Tue Apr 24, 2007 6:59 am

kevera · Post by **kevera** » Tue Apr 24, 2007 7:00 am

HA HA,I don't have that one.When did you post that one,I missed it.

GrayFox · Post by **GrayFox** » Tue Apr 24, 2007 7:04 am

page four have you determined the price yet?mine are scaled down... I can e-mail you the full ones. Just let me know how you need it

kevera · Post by **kevera** » Tue Apr 24, 2007 7:06 am

I'm not your friend anymore-jk I'll have to make another one,But I like the second shirt I posted,think it will make a difference.No price yet,it will depend on how many are ordered,but we still have a few more designs to decide on,but I like this one best so far,Cole has another Vector that we are looking at.

damronjr · Post by **damronjr** » Tue Apr 24, 2007 7:38 am

Sweet, let us know when all this is decided so we can start ordering!

MrDoopey · Post by **MrDoopey** » Tue Apr 24, 2007 7:42 am

nice "GVC" Ano! However, If it is only a pocket design, I think the genvibe.com may be a little small, judging by the "prototype" kevera did.+editIf you could make it a tad bigger...that would be awesome!My design is a comin'.....

MrDoopey · Post by **MrDoopey** » Wed Apr 25, 2007 6:00 am

Okay, basically I have two. The second has a few minor variations.I might be able to drum up a couple more, but the ol' think-tank is dry!I thought to have all of these as "pocket" designs. All are within the 6-color limitation. Comments/criticisms welcome! First one (on a black shirt):Second one(s) (on a white shirt):.....

damronjr · Post by **damronjr** » Wed Apr 25, 2007 9:55 am

2nd variation of second one is awesome! 3rd is cool without the red.

Quote, originally posted by MrDoopey »Second one(s) (on a white shirt):...both of those are sweet! is that the vibe outline from the old white GV shirts? if so do you mind if u could send me that?

02csnow · Post by **02csnow** » Wed Apr 25, 2007 10:50 am

Alright, I have talked to Kevin and we are setting up deadlines. Drawing entries - May 12thVoting start to end - May 13th to May 19thOrder submission - May 20th to May 26thWe are setting up these deadlines so everyone can have their shirts for the summer time and for any meets that they will be going to. I don't know how much the shirts are going to be exactly, it all depends on how may people order and how many shirts. But once i do get all the orders in, i will give everyone the price ( per shirt ) and if everyone is good with the price, then we can begin the process of production.

I just don't have the time to start from scratch with a whole new design like last time. So, I went with a "winner" I don't mind sending it to you, but really, genvibe owns that image right now. mkowdley would have to give ya the a-okay.....

Okay, last two from me. Again, I had intended these to be a pocket design on a white shirt -- suggestions, comments, and criticisms welcome! This is the same only less little lines:

Today would be the last day to get your drawings/entries done. I will be starting a new thread tommorrow morning for anyone who wants to put an entrie into the poll. On Monday morning the poll thread will start up and there will only be 6 days to vote (sorry so short). Once we have the winner, i will start taking orders from everyone. The shirt color will most likely be a gray, white, or black. Once i get all the orders in i will be able to figure out the price and check back with everyone to make sure they are good with it. If everyone si satisfied the production will start.

Raivis · Post by **Raivis** » Sat May 12, 2007 4:30 am

who do you have making them should some other people contact people to see about cheaper prices???

02csnow · Post by **02csnow** » Sat May 12, 2007 8:03 am

I doubt anyone will be able to get them cheaper than me. They are being done at cost. There is no market up on anything.
