He's just throwing up some 'rough sketches' to get feedback on what we want. No need to be so rude.

Quoted from Dan


Are you intending to keep the lines in where you copy and pasted the silhouette?

I think you need to accept you're not and never will be a graphic designer.


Rough Ideas are rough ideas,  there is nothing wrong with any of the trust logos, and I designed them, in any case its going to be painted and not be printed so its more of a reference piece. You may not like anything I do but some people do and I do make a living out of it so I can't complain

I don't want to get into arguments re: the trust or indeed mean to be disparaging. All I'm saying is yes there is. I work with graphic designers daily and it all looks like it is done in paint or rudimentary photoshop. The dock tower in the trust logo leans more than pisa. It would be rejected out right by our team and if you can't see what's wrong with this, then I despair:


I'm not saying don't make an effort, I commend everyones work on the trust, however it's clearly not done by a professional. It's up to others if that's how they want it to be perceived. But if you're going to do this it has to look good, and knocking up and handwriting font and copy and pasting in a badge, maybe sticking a red stroke and a gradient around text is not a good look. I say this from the position of a professional.

Anyway, as I'm not offering my time towards helping it really is nothing to do with me so I'll shut up now.

Sorry to keep banging on but I really want to do this justice. Here is an alternative idea, please feel free to make suggestions



If it was the badge instead of the silhouette I think it will look great

My background is in acrylic paint not digital art so I apologise for not living up to a high end London graphic design standard.

I don't do things on the computer day in day out like your colleagues, I paint, not just the things you've seen on here but all different subjects and styles. All I wanted to do is do the only thing I am quite good at that my health allows. I have offered to sacrifice a week of my time to do something 1)Paint, something I love doing 2)Do something for fellow Town fans. All I was offering up was digital repesentations of a final piece that I would be quite happy to do.

Don't you dare tell me that I'm not good enough when you don't really know me, I get enough that when people laugh at the way I walk and the arthritis in my hands and arms because my accident, All I'm doing is trying to live my life to the best of my ability after some shitty circumstances.

by all means give out some constructive criticism, especially if you have some decent knowledge of the subject, but lay off the personal shiite eh?
it's not called for and its not needed - as has been pointed out before he's offering his time and skills for nowt, which is an awful lot more than you're doing.......
