RAD backer shirt design!
Added 2023-03-15 20:02:18 +0000 UTCHello, Traxians!
Erik here with a sneak peek just for you. This time, it's the shirt design for our 2023 "Exclusive backer shirt" Kickstarter reward, drawn by frequent Kickstarter shirt designer contributor (and shirt.woot regular) Adam "ApeLad" Koford.
The image above is the concept sketch Adam sent us, which is pretty much classic Koford: he always finds a great way to insert Mike, Kevin, and Bill into the "theme" of the year's live event(s), and this one is no exception!
Drawing once more upon my art background (take that, Erik's high school guidance counselor!) and putting a critical eye to the sketch, my only piece of feedback for Adam was to put either Kevin or Bill in a different pose that wasn't "Superman" to further differentiate the two. I proposed, "What if Kevin was standing on the handlebars?" - and Adam made it happen, sending us a revision, with color and everything:
We'll post the final shirt design and mockup with the shirt color (spoiler: it's gold!) over on the campaign page tomorrow.
(And don't forget about this year's exclusive Ultra Traxian swag tie-in! More on that here.)
That's it for now. Stay tuned for more behind-the-scenes fun from the campaign - and more! And thanks, as always, for your support. We truly appreciate it, and I can't wait to thank a bunch of you in person at the live show later this year.
Yours in motocross,
Erik

2023-03-15 20:50:05 +0000 UTCReally nice design, good call on switching up Kevin's pose. I did want to point out it might be worth tweaking the lightning bolts on Mike's bike as the first thing I thought when I saw them was they looked like the SS logo.
