Vote for Fishing Japan's Ultimate T-Shirt Logo!

Postby Fisherkingnigel » Wed Mar 04, 2009 9:31 am

When I went to the meet up party in Yokohama one thing that was talked discussed was making or designing a cool logo for the back of a t-shirt. Well one of our board members Setsuo happens to a be a renowned artist and has taken charge on this already. If you see the banners on the top of our forum those are actually his images and if you would like more info please go to his site HERE. So I got a an email last night from him with some pre-designs or rough sketches and I'm super stoked!!

Here are his 3 sketches in no particular order.

The 3 Fish
Image

Snapper Holding a Rod
Image

Samurai Angler
Image

Now it's time to VOTE and tell me what you think... also if you would like to submit a SLOGAN that would be great. So if you like the Samurai image could you please suggest a cool slogan below.... like

FISH LIKE A SAMURAI
ENGLISH SAMURAI ANGLERS
DON'T MESS WITH A SAMURAI

You get the idea...

Ok lets vote and I'll leave this open for a week or so and see how it goes. One thing I was thinking is one of these logos could be used for a t-shirt design while another could be for sticker or hat.

I like the top one with the 3 fish and the Suzuki on top, of course....

The slogan could be something like: "Crazy Fishermen" and what I have seen on the fishing channel “No Fishing - No Life" not sure if that is a copyrighted saying....

I do like the snapper holding the rod with the rising sun/Fuji design....actually that would make a nice front design like on a pocket and then the 3 fish on the back of the shirt.... :happy:

My thoughts entirely sea bass . The snapper holding the rod would probably be a bit too 'loud' as a full size image but used pocket size or for a hat its ideal. The 3 tuna gets my vote for the main image.

great input guys...I guess one other thing to consider is when doing T-Shirt prints too much color can drive up the cost of making a shirt. Not too sure how it'll work because I've never done this before. I will tell you guys this I will be getting the T-Shirts in US sizing, Japanese sizing is a nightmare for most of us big foreigners.

At the moment I'm just thinking of T-Shirts but I would be partial to adding one of the logos to the banner.

More comments please!!

PS I haven't voted yet... gonna do it after I've read all the comments.

UAU, great pictures!!

Setsuo is a true artist, Nigel.

I voted for the "3 fish" picture, but my second choice goes to the "Samurai Angler".

My favourite slogan is "FISH LIKE A SAMURAI"!

A big salute from Pico Island,

Paulo Correia

P.S.: HEI!, Nigelman don't forget about me. My size is a Medium/Large :wink:

what about the color of the shirt....I have a bunch of fishing shirts that are white and lately I have been avoiding or at lease trying to avoid buying white t-shirts for fishing....because we all know what happens to a nice new white t-shirt when you go fishing.....I think a nice dark green or navy blue colored shirt would be great.....hides alot of fish slim.....

More slogans:

TGIF (Thank God I FISH)

looking a little more at the samuria now I do like it because he is holding a spinning reel...as that is my choice of weapons too.....

Gotcha covered!

Yeah I'm leaning towards the samurai myself but am wondering if the crocs are the right choice... it's pretty cool to see a Samurai with crocs though!

Yeah about the white t-shirt idea. I am wondering if white is the smart choice too because for the long run they won't last long after one season of fishing.

Anyone have any ideas for a getting t-shirts cheap? I'm thinking of looking on ebay to see if I can get 30 t-shirts cheap in US SIZING! I want quality products that are not cheap and can handle the rigors of fishing.

Slogan ideas are good...

Fishing is my life
Anglers Across Japan

Slogans are always tough to make but when you find one you'll know it's a winner!

Nigel, do you know any T-shirt print shop in your town?

My wife and I did some searching and there is a good looking company that sells the T's and can do all the printing. The method that seems most suitable would be INKJET DIRECT PRINTING.

Also found a T-Shirt company that sells SUPER SIZED T's.

Anyway my wife's vote is for the 3 Fish on a T, the Snapper holding a rod would be for a kids T and finally the Samurai is for stickers. She says they are all so good that it's wasteful to not use all 3!!!! Funny girl :happy:

The Snapper with Rod gets my vote.

A Ninja "Babe" on a tuna might work but not the Samurai.

Aloha Nige,
To me the three symbols of Japan, the rising sun, Mount Fuji, and the Tai of image number 2 says "fishing Japan" best so this one gets my vote. Now where do we order the shirts? :D
