Simviation shirts need an image! (Read 2793 times)

In an effort to make Simv shirts available, one milestone, is to get a suitable image for the shirt. The best place to get one is right here in Studio V. We have a vast amount of talent here, so I am hoping you will all contribute. This thread will remain open for as long as takes to get our image
established. (Hopefully less than two weeks)

Here are some guidelines...

We will use the actual Simvation logo and colours, including the Triglobe.

Very large and overly detailed images can't be used.
Picture a shortsleeve shirt with a collar that you would be proud to wear. The image being placed above the pocket area.

One thought is that an aircraft could be placed above the logo, although thats not written in stone.

In a nutshell this image should say who we are and what we do

Simplicity and Consistancy is a must.

Pete will have the final say.

----------------------------------------------

Please participate, all of your efforts would be much appreciated...
Who wants to get the ball rolling?

I need to clean up the edges, but you get the idea.

If God intended aircraft engines to have horizontally opposed engines, Pratt and Whitney would have made them that way.

Good Specter..Thanks. That's who we are. You wouldn't want to add a little something? I have always pictured a bit of what we do.. I don't know.

I just think if you add something it gets too complicated. For a small logo on a shirt pocket, simple is best. But, you could add a line below that says something like, "A Flight Simulation Community," or something similar.

True. I didnt want to say to much about the shirt, but a simple logo could be applied to the sleeves. Also It may be possible to provide a windbreaker or a sweatshirt. Good input though Spec.. Who knows.. this could end up as logo only.

I need more ideas like this or what others want. Collectively we'll find a solution.

And just adding text is also brilliant.

What I need is your idea in an image.

I don't have an image available, but just going off of Patchtz idea:

You could have the standard logo with sphere, but below that, have a line of 5 or so different aircraft side-view profiles.

The specific aircraft to use would be up for debate, but to cover most aspects of FS you could have the profiles of: a glider, helicopter, WWII fighter, jetliner, light single or twin.

The profiles themselves would not have livery graphics or anything complex, just the outline filled in with dark blue or something.

Now that is why it's a good idea to throw it open to the membership. I like your idea Sean.

That's really nice Specter. This could be the one.

I wish we could get more ideas from the group. Thanks for helping.

All good ideas so far.. Anyone else want to give it a shot? I really never learned much about graphics, but I know how to get a project done. If I put a free Canadian snowball in a manilla envelope and send it to you.. would that tweak your interest? Grin

For a simple logo on the pocket of a shirt this one looks the best, like Specter suggested:

Yeah.. In the end though Pete will need to agree.
I just wonder how many people I will have to explain what it
is to.. even if it had Simvation.com
under the logo people would at least assume it's a website.
Thanks for your thoughts.

Afternoon folks...

Just a thought.

As there are so many different aircraft such as rotary wing, jets, props, flying boats, seaplanes, bi-planes, tri-planes, civilian, military, homebuilts, gliders etc. etc. how do we pick just one or two examples of a flying machine to depict a diverse program (Microsoft Flight Simulator), a diverse forum (Simviation) and a diverse field (Aviation).

I am not an artist but here is some food for thought.

A simple pair of wings with the "Logo" in the center and the word "Simviation" underneath.

Do not depict any countries air element, airline, commercial flying school but just a simple pair of wings. The wings should tell the whole story by themselves.

As the old girl tells me all the time when I am trying to do something:
"Use the KISS" principle dear..."Keep It Simple Stupid" and that usually works... Grin

Grin

I do think some of the ideas we have seen are quite good and not knocking any of them, just my thought on the subject. Wink

Cheers...Happy Landings...Doug

Hi Steve...

Just had a conversation with Larry "Patchz" and he liked the "Wing" idea also.
I think maybe he is going to see what he can come up with.

We will just have to wait and see. Wink

Do mods get a special one with "Moderator" or "Admin" over the left breast or maybe on a shirt sleeve? Cool

I've got the image Doug, nice idea.. can do. Keep in mind the first one will be the one that I've discussed with our webmaster Pete.. Any thing we do after needs to have Petes approval first whenever the simv name is used. Keep those ideas comming. Wink

We went with the simple route, as several of you have suggested. There is a nice coffee mug also.
Thank you to all of you that gave input to this....
