sticker design

EricFG · 12-19-2006, 09:50 AM

I had some time to kill last night and I'd wanted to try this for a while so I've been fooling around with a design for a bumper sticker.

Attached are two designs I've come up with so far.
I'd like some input on design, color, font, content, or if this is just plain stoopid.

Another thought is the "Got Soviet ?" phrase in Cyrillic Russian. Can anyone help with the Cyrillic font?

Eric,

For the background, use the red color from the Soviet flag, and I'd suggest using yellow for the font (color of the hammer and sickle on the above mentioned flag).
Now, is it on purpose that you show the orders in B&W? I personally prefer them in color.

Eric,

That's more to my taste, but as they say, taste and colors...

Sorry, but in my opinion the design is ugly. The awards really seem to be 'cut out', there's too much contrast and the awards are to light, like they have been in the sun too much. Also Lenin seems to be cut out with a pair of scissors or something. Do you have Photoshop?

Its probably the forum's picture system. Reducing an image of such contrast to 50KB drastically reduces the quality, Whereas a photo would not be as affected.

I think the awards were intentionally done in only red and grey. I the spirit of socialism, Lenin himself would have probably preferred a photo of himself to be cut out, rather than be cropped by a capitalist computer program. Then again thats just Lenin speaking...

Auke,
You are sooooooo wrong. It's an excellent design!!! Because of the 50kb size limit it is affecting the appearance. Eric, Don't sweat it! You are right on target.

It is a nice design indeed. Keep up the good work, Eric.
