Ok everyone, we have a good draft of our first shirt design and would like to hear opinions on what you think of how it looks, the colors, whether you'd buy a shirt with it, etc.

[img]http://ffxi.allakhazam.com/images/testallakhazam3.jpg[/img]

Should we take out the . after Knowledge is Power?

This would be on the back of shirts. (light colored shirts anyway)

If image is broken at the time of posting, please reload after a couple of minutes.

Well the Wizard looks redamndiculous IMO.

Yes, you should ditch the period after Knowledge Is Power. It looks retarded. Also, it should be moved out of the circle and posted on the front of the shirt and the Wizard/Oval on the back. (Recenter the Allakhazam.Com obviously. The colors suck btw. You should use the regular colors. Didn't Sora mock up one quick in the Thread in the asylum a bit back?)

If this is the first T-Shirt design, I don't think I'd buy one now or in the future if they tend to be in this line of design.

A simple black T with the regular font Allakhzam's Magical Realm (You know, the websites logo) on the back and Knowledge Is Power on the front would be a much better first offering.

This isn't meant to be a clone of our original logo.

Black tees from Cafe Press unfortunately do not come with anything on the back right now, so this logo is only for light colored shirts.

Zam.com is our network, we are still going to be Allakhazam.com.

What picture? You mean just the words with the daggers? We had wanted an actual image, not just words.

Its ok but the the wizard has got to go. I would prefer the logo at the top of the eq style page with the daggers and the wizard looks a little too odd for me to want to wear it.

I would drop knowledge is power and change it to Magical Realm.


More importantly when will the "fear the cake of doom" shirts be ready?

Hate to say it, but I don't think I'd buy one, just because it's a little cheesy.

Drop the knowledge is power line completely, and the wizard. If you want people interested, just have the site address on the front, and on the back, use the eyes from Alla's avatard, with the site address below it. That would be a better, and simpler design for the first t-shirt.

The wizard is creepy. And for some reason, reminds me of Big Trouble in Little China.

I'd lose the period on the motto. Also, you might consider adding some sort of graphic emphasis (italic? font face? color?) to whichever of the three words it is you want to place emphasis on.

Are you trying to say, "Knowledge is Power"? Or "Knowledge is Power"? Or "Knowledge is Power"?

I can't really help these requests because 1) Alla did not want the Magical Realm part and 2) he really likes the Knowledge is Power slogan (I do too)

But this is good feedback, thank you guys! I'd appreciate more from others!

A logo created by using only text is called "et navnetræk" in Danish. There's a shortage on online free dictionaries, but I believe the translation is "a signature."

It doesn't have to be an image to be an image...

Ok I think this is starting to go in a direction I didn't mean for it to.

We aren't going to drop the wizard because the whole point of getting this drawn up was so that we didn't have just the word logo and that was it. We can make other shirts with the plain logo just like you guys say, but I was more looking for thoughts on the wizard instead of "nix the wizard". =\ But general consensus seems to be that you guys don't care for him, which is odd cause the admins like him. :(

No offense, but the reason most admins are admins in the first place is because they're rather D&D nerd-esque.

Any normal person wearing that shirt with the wizard couldn't go through the day without being subjected to multiple random acts of violence.

So do any of you even want any type of drawing or would you all just want straight out plain logos you see on the site?

Well, I'll give some feedback on the wizard himself. I don't like the jangly stuff on his hat. Is that a feather? Weird.

I also don't like the staff. It looks infected. Maybe changing the color would make me like it more.

And I'd say remove the period from Knowledge is Power.

In conclusion, I don't buy shirts that I have this many nitpicks about, so I spend most of my time shirtless.

I take offense to the D&D nerd thing...I used to play D&D, and it was fun, especially when you're roaring drunk.

I didn't say to axe the wizard...just that he seems creepy.

But maybe he has a sorceress niece who could substitute?

Please note this isn't our only option, but we wanted feed back on the logo that Pikko linked. We have other options, we just happen to be working on this one atm.

I also like the Allakhazam logo (with the daggers) thats on the top banner here on the webpage.

That wizard is kinda "meh" imo. Might be from some game on Alla, but definately not from WoW. So something more generic would be better I think. Hence the plain old alla logo suggestion.
#24 May 01 2007 at 2:36 PM Rating: Decent
The cartoon wizard kind of looks silly next to the sleek logo. The wizard needs to be changed or removed, IMO.

If you want to appeal to game nerds, it needs a lot more exclamation points and zeros.
