Here is another try. Please input needed.

Stunt Hanger is a one man operation and I try to do everything on my own to save money. If we have any professional graphic artists in our mist please chime in.

Still needs leadouts and lines emphasized to make it obvious that it is a C/L plane, so that it isn't just another model airplane on a T-shirt. Dunno 'bout others, but I am proud to say that I fly C/L, and I want my T-shirt to stand out and pictorialize it. Most people see the picture first but never get to read the caption.

I am afraid that 2 lines will look like dirt on the shirt. But here they are added.

Paul Taylor · « **Reply #3 on:** August 02, 2008, 03:03:02 PM »

I agree the two lines do not show that it is a control line plane.

I think the words tell you that it is control line.

just my 2 cents.

Ryan Taylor · « **Reply #6 on:** August 02, 2008, 03:21:36 PM »

this is a real down and dirty idea. but i can really clean this up in photoshop later.
Tell me what you guys think

I don't have a lot of time tonight, but if you like this I can put more time into this.

Yes sir, it is a part of CL and I support PAMPA fully. I guess I was thinking of the other disciplines of CL that Stunt Hangar supports too. Probably impossible to please 'em all...

Well its nice but I think the Continental is what I am going with.

The lines don't look like dirt to me. The lines definitely say control line. I like the other picture with the person flying the plane as well.

Robert,

I like it!

You might consider shortening the bottom line a bit, such as "#1 Control line Forum", as that gets the message across, without overpowering the Title line.

Outline the lines in white like the airplane, then they will stand out.. A little farther apart would help also.

I think except for the half tone shadow under the plane this will be the one?

Richard Grogan · « **Reply #14 on:** August 02, 2008, 04:53:53 PM »

How about the background being round or eliptical, and maybe bending the text to match that? just a thought..

Allan Perret · « **Reply #15 on:** August 02, 2008, 05:02:36 PM »

Too much red. Change the backgroung color.

RC Storick · « **Reply #16 on:** August 02, 2008, 05:05:10 PM »

Come on thats the shirt color. I have added 3 more colors besides red. We can only do so much.

Greg L Bahrman · « **Reply #17 on:** August 02, 2008, 05:08:47 PM »

Not trying to anger anybody. Maybe it's just me but the red background has got to go. The plane should standout from the background, as it is, it blends into a big splash of red and the Cool plane is lost visually. You wouldn't be able to see the plane from across the circle. It is not COOL.......If the red background is the shirt color then it would be a cool picture on a white or a gray shirt. Just not on a red shirt. Grins

RC Storick · « **Reply #18 on:** August 02, 2008, 05:12:34 PM »

Please understand that I have to keep the screen changes down to a minimum. They charge a dollar per shirt per color change. So in order to have red stripes on the plane in all color shirts this is the way it must be set up. I have already upped the colors to a three color process instead of two like last year. More set up fees and more per shirt. There will also be a half tone shadow under the plane to make it stand out more.

Also remember the wing span on the plane will go all the way accross your back

Jim Oliver · « **Reply #19 on:** August 02, 2008, 06:39:05 PM »

Sparky,

The ONLY thing I would change is the size of the prop-------it's a little small. But that's just a minor detail and not a deal breaker.

Go for it!!

Robert,
I like everything about the design . I would like to make a comment however, I have done screen printing for several years,, (not currently more in the past) If you print the solid red "balloon" around the plane, on a hot day it will feel like you are wearing a plastic blanket on your back. I would strongly recommend just using the red in the plane. the printer can underprint the whole airplane solid white , then the red stripes print over it, then the detail lines on that. This avoids the mass of color block which is uncomfortable on hot days,, and it cleans the design up allowing it to print on any color shirt including black or dark grey and still stand out very well. If you have any other questions or i didn't make it clear email or message me.

Hey Robert,

I think Mark Scarborough makes a great point and gives you the flexability of any color shirt and you still get the lines of the Continental as you wanted.

I'd go with his idea and I definitely agree with him on the background on your back on a hot day.
If you own one of the earlier "FCM" shirts you'll know exactly what he means.

Just my two cents, but a strong two cents.

Remaining yours in STUNT,

"Champione"

Not nit-picking, just a thought, Robert. The word "PAMPA" on the right wing looks to me like it has the same height lettering all the way across, instead of getting smaller with "distance". I don't know how else to explain it. Maybe an artist like Mike Keville or Mike Schmitt can explain what I'm attempting to convey. It may be too dificult to do with the silkscreen process, and probably not that important. I'm usually seen wearing a "DMAA" shirt or PAMPA shirt, but this one you're doing is going to compliment my wardrobe, for sure. Nice work, and a nice touch getting input for your project. Thanks. dg

Great idea Mark! That makes way too much sense!
