In Response To: Re: Announce: T-Shirt Contest *LINK* *Pic* (Nick Schade - Guillemot Kayaks)

(Some of this was posted in another section, but I'll repeat it here to bring it into focus. Sorry about the double post.)

• Definitely make it a two-bladed paddle, whatever it takes!

• I like Brian's idea of "separation", but it would probably lose the nice, simple silhouette effect. What about using a builder profile similar to Rick's original. I like the arms and *action* of the builder, raised above the hull; seems to counterbalance the paddle in the figure below. I'd prefer to see both people genderless.

• Move the paddler's head out of the "O".

• Either
1) move the words close together like a sentence - "Build, paddle, repeat..." or
2) Omit the commas and ellipses. Maybe just a bullet between the words.

• Not sure about adding "Design". How about "Consult the folks at KBBB, build, paddle, repeat...""? :-)

• Change the font; reminds me too much of military stencilling. Think M*A*S*H...

• As for colors, I'm an earthtone person. But it seems the simple black and white inks on a colored background, as Nick currently proposes, works great! Colors are then determined by fabric or paper; anything but black and white works.

• Happy to see a plug for Nick/Guillemot somewhere, as long as it doesn't confuse the design.

• I'm with Pikabike on smaller shirt sizes! Medium please, I want to actually wear the thing while I "Build, paddle, repeat..."!

At any rate, I'll also support the endeavor. Can anyone say "Bumper Sticker"? Can anyone say "Decal"?

Thanks for all you've given us, Nick!!! Hope this is a way for us to give a little back.

Glenn
