Wisconsin Tacomas and bad financial advice

Well, I'm in graphic arts and have been for almost 40 years, but I'm smart enough to admit I'm not a designer. I know a few people that are so amazing at that, it's like design simply flows through their fingertips onto everything they do.
FWIW, I thought a black border would also be distracting, but I'll give it a shot.

 

I guess the border is not completely objectionable.

I tried changing the grey background to white and I really hated that.

 

I'd say that brings the state into more of a focal point of the design which is why I suggested it.

I probably would've done the same with the background. I think the light grey does a nice job of separating itself from the rest of it.

 

While I do like that design, I'm not really into the idea of paying the royalties that UW would demand for the use of their logo. They jump on that stuff like crazy.

 

I looking into licensing possibilities many years ago and found it to be far too much for my small business to pay. Now you know why a $10 t-shirt becomes $25 if it has a Bucky on it.

 

Not a designer myself. I'm curious how a green background would look? Instead of gray. Maybe the same green as the tree. Is that hard? I know absolutely nothing about what you do.

 

It is very easy to do.

 

Only the coolest

 

Ok, this looks sick. How hard would it be to add black outlines around the retro color stripes?

 

Also easy, but I didn't think about it until I saved it and was too lazy to go back and do it.

 

I, I, I, I think it's perfect @Tigerian Maybe cast a vote to see if black lines on stripes vs no black lines. I would totally pay for one of these.

 

What size would be good for stickers? I can do any size.

 

Nice! Love the Ricky Bobby, err Rickenbocker! Weird pickup arrangement on the one J bass. Special edition?

I run a Mini Mark as well! Mine's the 800. With 2 homemade slot ported 1×15 Cabs (wired in parallel), it CRANKS! I love that little amp!

 

That is basically a poll on whether to encourage me to be lazy or not. If it is getting made definitely need the lines.

 

Uh, 3.5"x3.5"? Let me do some research.

 

27" radius please!


















































JK, maybe 4" or so? I like the green background.

 

Yeah, I think 4" would be good.

 

Sounds good, I can print outdoor vinyl with 2 mil outdoor laminate to protect it and keep the colors from fading for many many years.

 

Is it starting to bother anyone else that the trees aren't outlined? The more I look at it the more it starts nagging at me.

 

Not me, but do it anyways just to see haha
