SVS Tees

I like B.

@Jake-Parker B is killer, has a lot of energy and is eye catching. That's my fav. I do have a 'BUT' though. From my graphic design and marketing background I would say that D reflects more of the branding of SVS as a company, which is 'Illustration'. The others are solid designs but visually tailored more towards graphic design.

Oooh exciting idea! Shame I will not be anywhere near CTNx to get one

I like B best, for sure - it's artistic and interesting with the scribbly lines. But I also like @Kevin-Longueil's idea of marketing SVS a bit more strongly...making the link a bit stronger for those that don't know about the red rabbit. I wondered if his idea of the 'V' shape with the ears could also be applied to the 'B' design...just an idea though!

@Dulcie I definitely vote for this one! Brilliant idea!

B love the scribble work

I like B best, but I love Dulcie's idea of adding the letters. Then we get to explain to people what it is. I'm hoping at some point you put these for sale on site - would definitely buy one for myself but I don't get out of Wisconsin much.

I love B the best without lettering on the front bunny design and think it would look great with SVS on the back of the tee.

But working off of @Dulcie cute design, it could be fun to play and experiment with. I think there needs to be more clarity with the V shape of the ears and the lettering if you plan on going that route. see B1. Or you could just put SVS below the bunny too as in example B2, if you really think it needs to be stated on the front of the shirt with your SVS font. I just quickly hand drew these ones on. When I think of SVS, I automatically see red, black and white so I think it could be nice to have all three colors in the design somehow.

Overall I think having letters near the ear messes too much with the overall nice clear shape of the rabbit so it's a tough call because it is a cool idea that Dulcie suggested.

What ever one you go with, I want to be able to buy one!! So exciting!!

I had another idea on this theme...looks like it might be too late for this time, but anyway - I remembered that @Jake-Parker posted this piece recently:

......and I wondered whether it might be interesting if Jake were to do a mash-up of this robot concept, but with the red rabbit and the SVS lettering instead, like this (you could take out the lettering bit or have SVS separately, lots of options..):

This would work if you wanted to do a white T-shirt design instead of black.... but aside from T-Shirts... if @Lee-White, Will and Jake were to all sign a print of it (or another 'SVS special' piece, if there were other ideas...), it would make a great prize for 3rd Thursday winners - ie. the only way to get a print of this particular piece , would be to win 3rd Thursday. Personally speaking I'd be motivated to try to win that as a prize (would be something exclusive and special...) ...just another idea for the melting pot

Jake Parker · 15 Sept 2016, 03:30

Oh man that's a great idea. haha. I love it!

Jason Bowen · 15 Sept 2016, 12:27

@Dulcie That is amazing!

Russ Van Dine · 15 Sept 2016, 21:40

I want one!!!

JajaJulie · 15 Sept 2016, 21:52

Oh, I want one too! Is there a way to purchase them if we are not able to attend CTNx?

Lee White · 15 Sept 2016, 22:01

Yes! You will be able to purchase them. Along with a bunch of other stuff! Big plans in the works right now... More details later!

Rebecca Hirsch · 16 Sept 2016, 02:26

@Lee-White Hooray!

Eric Castleman · 16 Sept 2016, 02:33

Right in my neck of the woods. I look forward to meeting you all, or whoever is able to make it.

amberwingart · 18 Sept 2016, 03:19

I'd choose either B or D. I'm not going to CTNx either, but I'd love to buy one as well

amberwingart · 18 Sept 2016, 03:22

@Dulcie I don't know the significance of the red rabbit to SVS...

Dulcie · 18 Sept 2016, 07:37

@amberwingart A red rabbit appears in some form on pretty much all of the 3rd Thursday illustrations that Will, Jake and Lee have drawn, so they see it as part of the SVS branding...

Lee White · 18 Sept 2016, 22:43

As per Jake:

"Will and I were going to do an illustrator conference called SVS JUMP. It would be all about making big jumps in your career, technique, and abilities. I thought a cool mascot for that would be a red rabbit.

Then when we started doing 3rd Thursdays I put a little red rabbit in my image, and we kept putting him in there for most of the 3rd thursday images."
