Something really subtle and simple like this? (Read 16254 times)

slackline · March 17, 2008, 02:34:35 pm

Simple is good, adds an air of mystique as in "WTF is UKB?"

Bubba · March 17, 2008, 02:48:28 pm

"wtf is ukb?" might work as a logo

Bubba · March 17, 2008, 03:25:50 pm

hmmm not sure:

Bonjoy · March 17, 2008, 03:36:06 pm

It's too fcuk

Bubba · March 17, 2008, 03:43:58 pm

aye, it is a bit.

Jaspersharpe · March 17, 2008, 03:45:12 pm

Nail on head. Knew there was something putting me off.

Houdini · March 17, 2008, 06:56:28 pm

UKB = Bunch O' C*nts!

Maybe . . .

Bubba · March 17, 2008, 07:54:03 pm

Add a box and a background:

I quite like the font but this is showing my woeful design skills

Houdini · March 17, 2008, 08:27:36 pm

Why not something a bit different?

For example, maybe nowt on the heart, but UK bouldering (what is UKB?) descending down the sides from the armpit? Excellent for when in vicious crucifixes? Weird it up, like. And something where you would wear your stripes.

fatdoc · March 17, 2008, 10:05:04 pm

Bubs,
go with the original one..... tres simple... c'est bon!!

oh yeah, if you do small ones (age 9) i'll have one as well as one for me (large)

GCW · March 17, 2008, 10:15:59 pm

Wouldn't bother with borders etc, just the text. Dark on a light shirt or vice versa? Or do we get to choose??

tommytwotone · March 17, 2008, 10:19:19 pm

Aye, like the simplicity of the top one - I'd certainly have one.

dontfollowme · March 17, 2008, 10:44:49 pm

I'd have one probably in a light colour rather than dark.

Paz · March 20, 2008, 08:42:10 pm

I actually like that idea, btu I'd go all out and have

fcukbouldering.com

Also works with other climbing websites.

Bubba · March 20, 2008, 08:46:09 pm

I was thinking of having a small "ukbouldering.com" logo at the bottom of the shirt in small text then just have the "ukb" as the main logo.

not sure about the fcuk style thingy, i guess i'll put it to the vote.

What colours do people like? I'd prefer black than white but will have to consult with a print shop to see what other colour blanks they can use.

i'll try to come up with some different ideas, or feel free to post yer own as my design algorithms are creaky right now.

webbo · March 20, 2008, 08:52:27 pm

i guess it all depends on wether you want to be subtle or outrageous.

ukb
or
ukb that's bollocks

Stubbs · March 20, 2008, 09:04:52 pm

Some good bright colours for photo-ops would be good, black and white are rubbish on the grit and the lime

GCW · March 20, 2008, 09:12:38 pm

How about "Houdini is a c*nt"?

The more subtle ideas seem to work best. A nice light blue may be nice. $:-\$

Houdini · March 20, 2008, 09:16:42 pm

Pink would be better.

But we're sick of hOU and crass t's...

Oli · March 20, 2008, 09:25:31 pm

I'd second the light blue idea.
Subtle would be good.

How about adding a very small "mick ryan is still a cunt" somewhere as well?

Paz · March 20, 2008, 11:30:24 pm

I was actually going to suggest

UKB

A Mick Ryan free zone since January 2004!

but thought that was both unsubstle and unnecessarily provocative.

butters · March 21, 2008, 07:40:44 am

No to black and/or white - darker blue would be my choice but red, orange and yellow also work - any colour that works with grit and lime really and though pink might be good for the lower grade punter to get potential photo opportunities in the bag I am not that desperate to be "famous"!!

Houdini · March 21, 2008, 08:34:04 am

White lettering on navy is always class. (Still reckon a UKB on your chest is naff though...)

magpie · March 21, 2008, 09:08:43 am

I liked Houdini's armpit idea, for something a bit different. Otherwise the very first plain design is nice.

Obviously, I want pink. Or baby blue.

adam p · March 21, 2008, 09:57:27 am

How about ukb rocks

Could have it on the front left breast, and on back of right shoulder in discreet lower case italicised (?) script

and, at risk of over prescription suggestion, perhaps orange text on navy blue t....would look class and fade nicely too

[prepares to be heckled and ducks]

Paz · March 21, 2008, 01:01:59 pm

And on the back you culd have a load of drawing of rocks with ukb written on them.

Sorry I'm being really crass, I'm going to apply for a job coming up wth slogans for car window stickers.

I think that's a top idea, cheers Paz...

magpie · March 21, 2008, 01:45:02 pm

On the back you should really have 'Dead Fit Bloke Who Goes Climbing' then we'll know who to follow around and take pictures of when they remove the shirt!

And unfortunately inaccurate as he has posted on here since then.

I don't think you've really understood this game, r-man...

Who or what is that chubby bloke? Ewe bee fat guy? Ewe bee another thing which instantly jumps out at me . . .

GCW · March 21, 2008, 10:37:45 pm

Obviously "Woolly Peter, Honey".
Sheesh Houd, I thought you'd have got it.

andy_e · March 21, 2008, 10:42:35 pm

he means we're all fluffy fat insects...

Houdi, do you genuinely not know Bolton's finest export or was that tongue-in-cheek?

Houdini · March 21, 2008, 10:44:01 pm

It's because I'm not drinking tonite, that's why. Totally out of sorts . . W/ out my regulation two bottles (minus a glass for the floor) I never was gonna get it.

I'll take a claret-coloured T, please. Hide the stains . . .

Bolton? Near Stuttgart?
