The Great Spoke Card Design Contest

im no expert at photoshop there just idears, i too think the lockring logo is better, i just thought i would give the sprocket a go, sorry its caused such consternation, just to piss you all off some more, heres another one ;)

Sweet. Like it. You should sell that to tfl.

mrvista sorry its caused such consternation

i was only messing about:)

so was i :)

well thats that sorted:)

Natureboy: Saint Martin's Foundation, naturally. In our studio we had a hole in the wall made by the door repeatedly being slammed against it, and someone filled it with pubic hair. We only found this out when we were tidying the room for the final exhibition - we were going to just leave it there and write "sex hole" above it but i think we forgot to. Friendly family fun!

big willies

ffub Letter space your caps, use the right font (Johnston P22), and get rid of the ghosting round the sprocket. Then you've basically got slamm's design, except with a sprocket instead of a lock ring. That was in the context of a jokey spoke card too, alone it's just a logo rip off of the underground logo, which has been done to death by street vendors (Adihash anyone?)

Maybe LondonFGSS need it's own simple logo, for the site and affiliated stuff. Be good to get the address on some event flyers.

I agree that proper typography and the correct use of fonts and kerning is most important. On the other hand a bit of creative messing about is always good as well. some of my most serious corporate work started as scribbles on a beer mat when I was totally pissed.

you have to understand the rules before you can break them.........punkpixel have you read Writing and Illuminating and Lettering by edward johnson???

Yes, sorry I didn't mean to sound quite so anal. The above idea with the bike and the London Eye is a perfect example of what you describe.

OK. So what's happening with the printing?

I was speaking to dicki yesterday and we are both of the opinion that if they've not been printed yet that:
1) They should be
2) We'd rather pay to get the lamination done from the get go

So, where are we at?

i think we were at Punkpixel getting them printed and then delivered to my office. haven't heard from him in a while, so not sure where that leaves us. they should have been printed by now.

Yo punkpixel! Where the cards at? Don't worry if it fell through we ain't worried, we just wanna get some cards printed paid for or not!

Cheers geez.

Sweeeeeeeet. You a legend.

Does this thread need to be sticky now?

How's the distribution going? And how come I haven't been serviced yet?

Maybe you should put the "Casanova" back? ;)

i still have two boxes in my office. i gave 100 to a mashton (i think it was him) a week ago who said that he would hand some out at critical mass.

david, whisper me your address and i'll post a whole bunch to you. distribution on my end is going slowly as i'm quite busy in the evenings.

Yeah, I have about 50, posted in the other thread to see who wanted some but it has all gone quiet :-(

My offices are in High St ken if anyone wants some?

hmm...i think we'll just have to get a bunch to some of the events that are happening with other members. polo, west end collective, bridges ride 2, etc.

Get a load over to Brick Lane Bikes.... we can get them out from there

yeah im iching to get one

i'll try and get out to brick lane bike either tomorrow evening or on sunday to drop off a few hundred.
