Tinstock 2010 Tshirts

I would like to see what modifications JimBC comes up with. The basic design is fine, may be a bit of tweaking?

Well funny you should ask here is just a quick draft I threw together this morning with my first two cups of coffee. Note: rough draft just playing with ideas. http://visiongraphics.info/images/St...20boat%20b.pdf

Jim,

Nice!

Luckily I had my sunglasses closeby when I saw the shirt design.

Now if it featured an older Starcraft, say a 1964 Jet, I would be even happier.

Looking forward to seeing responses from others.

Thanks, Albert

WOW ! I guess no one likes it.

Here is a tiny update mainly just color and a few tweeks to the boat and peace sign. http://visiongraphics.info/images/Starcraft%20boat.pdf

Jim I couldnt get the first one to show up for me it would downlod but as soon as I tried to scroll on the page it was gone

. The second one looks great but there is one little problem . The guy I use screen prints the shirts soooooooooooo the more colors we want the more money it will cost to get them done . The boat may be a little tricky as well for screen printing

. I do like the desighn and if I could get iron on transfers done it would work but I am not sure about screen printing them . We need to try to keep it 2 colors to keep cost down maybe 3 colors.

Well let me check with my guy I have used. I use to get I think like 4 or 5 colors for something like 6 to 7 bucks a shirt. But it does matter in quantity the more you order the less it cost.

Here are a couple of revisions with the suggested changes

I really like Jim's design, especially the font. I like the fact that is has a boat on it. Make the Starcraft logo a little more prominent and we're in business. Also, think about how to do the most with the fewest colors so our screen printing can be affordable. Nice work guys.

ilike the "i made the trip" slogan...

JimbC · #36 August 26th, 2009, 12:19 AM

Hey Andy a lot of hippies took, I mean made the trip to the 69 Woodstock too.

Try one without the peace symbol I think it distracts from the the logo. I did serve for 11 years but perhaps the west coast was a bit indifferent

JimbC · #39 August 27th, 2009, 09:13 PM

Here's one more plain. http://visiongraphics.info/images/Starcraft%20boatc.pdf

ezmobee · #40 August 27th, 2009, 09:15 PM

Slam dunk DONE. Is my opinion. Love that one. We have the hippie font to pick up on the "stock" but not the apparently controversial peace symbol. Nice work!

ezmobee · #41 August 27th, 2009, 09:27 PM

Actually let me suggest one change. Could we slightly enlarge and emphasize the Starcraft logo and try to use the old style one like is on most of our boats? I searched to try to find a close up of North Beach's emblem but this is the best I could find. Anyone care to help?

JimbC · #42 August 27th, 2009, 10:12 PM

I have that already in the works. Since I have done this stuff professionally I am a stickler for correct fonts and good looking fonts or at least something that is legible and looks good to the logo. So I am in the process of remaking and or trying to see if I have the correct font from the STARCRAFT logo from that era, as I mentioned before I have 100,000+ fonts. So it is a bit of a process to find them.

going through that many. This is still a work in progress as you all know but we have plenty of time as I said before to perfect it and any others we make. I will post little updates as we go.

ezmobee · #43 August 27th, 2009, 11:16 PM

Thanks Jim. We really appreciate your efforts. AND working on re-creating the old Starcraft logo will help us with much more than just the T-shirts. I would imagine a lot of us would use it to have decals made for our boats. I know I would.

Rickairmedic · #44 August 27th, 2009, 11:19 PM

I agree EZ I would do decals for mine as I only have 3 holes on each side unlike NB who has 4 where the emblems go

Here's another one. I just made the STARCRAFT logo by hand using a pic of a old brouchur, taking to long to look through all the fonts.

Sorry I did not object to the Peace logo only it looked out of sort the way it was done. I really like the last post with the new suggestion. Looks great like we mean business. Ed . Mt Vernon Wa.

You nailed that. Looks perfect to me! I really like the addition of the logo to the TinStock design.

bananaboater · #48 August 28th, 2009, 08:28 AM

Jimbc,

Looking better all the time. One detail though, the arrow through the logo should go left to right. Just came in from my boat to check both sides to confirm.

Thanks, Albert

Rickairmedic · #49 August 28th, 2009, 09:34 AM

Very Kewl Jim it looks great to me

OK my bad on the arrow I thought it maybe was made to point to the front of the boat on both sides. I made it the other way to start with but after I placed it on the boat I flipped the arrow thinking it was supposed to point forward. This is a easy fix since i have it the other way already.

Fixed
