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.

Hi Marc, Thanks for the input!
I'm trying to use the red from the Soviet flag, but I don't really know what that is. Point me to an image please?
The yellow's a good idea. I'll try that.
The B&W was intentional. I was thinking it was less 'busy' than color.
Thanks again for your help.

Whacha think of this?

Eric,

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

I get to hang around here for free...that's good enough for me if anyone wish to use the one I made. After all, I did not design the orders used, I did not invent the font nor the colour "black"...

Eric,
Great job!! I do like the full color screwbacks. I don't think that red is a good background color. The screwbacks wouldn't show well. I realise that you are trying to use the red & yellow of the Soviet flag. Try yellow background with red font.

Tretov,
I like your design, too!!!

Can anyone translate the phrase "got Soviet" or something along those lines into Cyrillic for me please?
I'd like to see what that looks like instead of the English on my bumper sticker.
TIA.
