Heritage, once more to the well

[oZ]

  Heritage Design

So I'm taking artistic license here and in the circle at the center of the design I'm trying to represent an idle factory like in you know they don't make the Valkyrie anymore and kinda of trying to impart that sad fact with an emotional image.

Maybe I'm putting too much thought into this but hey I'm having fun.

Number one is more abstract and I went with a "SteamPunk" theme trying to represent a factory. Number two is less abstract with a rendering of an 19th century abandoned factory.

Anyway it's a vote which do you think is more impactful, No 1 or No 2. (see larger size art below for more detail)


No 1

No 2

[The emperor has no clothes]

#2 for me

[old2soon]

Numero deuce.  RIDE SAFE.

[indybobm]

I prefer No. 1. To me, it represents the mechanical side of the Valk.

[klb]

Number 2    

[Smokinjoe-VRCCDS#0005]

# 1

[scoobydoo]

I like # 2

[gregc]

  I have to go with number 2.

[DenverDave]

My vote is for #1

How about a more motorcycle specific image, something like the two below?





This one is the assembly line at Marysville

I vote for #2.  IMHO, the first "factory" image is very busy and detracts from the motorcycle.  The second makes the Valkyrie stand out.

I like #1 but Plunker is right with what he said above.

[FryeVRCCDS0067]

#2 for me.

[billyboy]

# 1 for me 

[Hoser]

#2,  Hoser

[crow]

I like #1. Reminds me of Bachman Turner Overdrive,   (Not Fragile) , #2 seems too dreary

[franco6]

#1 ,2 looks like industrial revolution nightmare

[Buda]

#2 but both are cool

[sandy]

I love the overall look of both designs but would prefer a stock exhaust rather than the six into six pipes.

[Dave Ritsema]

If your wanting to depict the Honda plant you can always use the real thing, then print it in a more sepia color to capture that older look.

[Super Santa]

I like #1 best.  It makes me think of a precision watch.

How about adding the word 'Precision' under the Valk between the tires.

[RDKLL]

I like #2....just an idea, on the years of manufacture I would say "-" istead of "to"

[Lil D]

#1

[Westsider]

Both but without manufactured in marysville Ohio ...just the 1996-2003

[hotglue #43]

I like #1..... but I have always liked Misfits paint job!!!!

[RiderNJ]

#2.  It gives a clearer image of the theme you are looking for.

[Momz]

#2

2

[wiggydotcom]

#2- It gives more of the image that the factory is shuttered.

[Blakjack]

# 2

[BF]

I like number 2 better than one, but I'd prefer DenverDave's and DaveRitsema's ideas even more.  

[Regis]

I like #2 wife likes #1 . I will order either 1 when its done . is that front or back ?. whats on the other side ?

[Tropic traveler]

Number 1.

Design ALWAYS on back... It's a riding shirt!

[Grumpy]

#2 but I will take #1, let us know, I am good for a couple shirts.

[Tailgate Tommy]

I like #1..... but I have always liked Misfits paint job!!!!

Agreed!

[john]

               #1

My vote is for #1

I looked for a photo of the assembly line at Marysville! Where'd you find that cause I need a larger version for the art

I vote for #2.  IMHO, the first "factory" image is very busy and detracts from the motorcycle.  The second makes the Valkyrie stand out. 

Me too!  two

I love the overall look of both designs but would prefer a stock exhaust rather than the six into six pipes.

Stock could be better BUT I draw from original art I trace the bike then color it in so I got to go with what I got. The number one hardest thing for me is finding a flattering photo of a Valkyrie. All I find are taken while they're on there stands and usually not from a pleasing angle. I damn near have a heart attack if I ever found a shot taken from any aspect of the front of the bike.

Hey Dave how you doing?!?! Yeah I thought of the Honda plant but problems come up, I wonder if I would get in trouble for having the word "Honda" on there, I have never put Honda or Honda logos on my shirts based on how Honda acted when Lamont and I first started the VRCC.  Did you know Justin came up with the name for the VRCC I would have gone with the VOA but that was already taken and Justin thought Valkyrie Riders Club didn't have enough pazazz! (O: Good to hear from you...

I prefer the colour of the #2 image and i think think the following image at a 20% screen would be awesome. If you do stick with #2 image, I still think a 20% screen would help to separate the two images (bike & background) and at 20% it is still there.


Look forward to seeing the final.

My two cents.....
