You go for it Wrawbz.

It doesn't matter if Dan thinks it isn't professional enough.It comes from the heart of a fellow Mariner and that is worth more than any amount of slick end product.

Not an attack on you Dan,just my opinion.

Just because someone plays football it doesn't make them a footballer.

Coming from the heart, not being professional and not having a slick end product is not something I'd accept on the pitch, and it's not something i'd like scrawled on the gates. These things permeate through everything we do.

I'm not making this a personal attack. Not once I have said anything personal except in response to one on me. All i've said is that in my opinion, someone's work isn't good enough, and you'll get this at many points in your professional life. Fortunately I'm not the one commisioning it.

I get paid for my art and not out of sympathy either.

Not the point though is it?

You may not rate Wrawbz as an artist,graphic or otherwise,but he is doing this free of charge,in his own time and is a a fellow Mariner around the same age as the two young lads the gate project is honouring.

That is what is important in my opinion.

As i say,no axe to grind with you and your opinion is just as valid as mine,but it's just an opinion all the same.

have to say dan that you've made some fairly barbed comments that seem unnecessarily harsh. i think that you have some valid points to make, but maybe you could try and be a little more diplomatic on what is ,after all, a voluntary effort?

Well said, it needs to look good but some of the comments were a bit out of order. While Wrawby's artwork isn't the sort of thing that I'd have on my wall he clearly is better than what the vast majority on here could produce. If he comes up with a good suggestion and the club approve why shouldn't he do it? (No legends murals though please).

How were the Club originally going to 'name' the gate to the winning bid?
With plaques? A Sign?



P.S. like your last effort Warbz without the silhouette and have the club badge instead?

Quoted from Dan


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.

Maybe you should have not commented at all
