Can you do this design with just a little more color in it? Not sure what color(s), but just a little contrast. I like the original though ... cool idea.
This is really close. Can you try this one but instead of banners, just use arches, kind of like #68 and #69 did? We're not sure if we want a scroll banner like you have used, or just simple arches. Also, maybe make the arches more arched than they currently are (if that makes sense).
Thanks for modifying. This is still one of our favorites.
Can you do #81 with the top and bottom piece squared off like #78? And also maybe the gold background on the top and bottom with a black font like you did in #72.
Unfortunately, I think that would make my entry too close to #78. If I come to close to copying another's design, I risk having all of my entries removed. I would be happy to make any other changes you can think of!
What about changing colors? I'm not opposed to having the cross, the wings, and the font and background of the banners being some other colors altogether ... as long as they are "tough", "cool", "manly".
I think we need the top and bottom rockers to be squared off though.
If all this still is too much like the other, I'm still open to other ideas for the cross and wings ... maybe something even tougher looking there?
I really like your font and your ideas so I'm trying to stay open. I have not locked into the designs showing ranked 1 or 2.
Per your request: Wings are 10% larger and font changed to black. I left the red outline (for now) because I think it still adds to the design and better fits the traditional rocker design.
