slinky Posted December 6, 2007 Share Posted December 6, 2007 Well. I finally vectorized my original design of the ribbon/redskins feathers. I am thinking of adding it to sell for profits to go to the Sean Taylor Fund. It's crazy how wide and fast this design spread. I go on myspace/facebook now and I see it everywhere as people's default profile photos. thousands of profiles... I actually made it originally as a support ribbon on the night Sean got shot and was still in the hospital fighting for his life... I didn't think I was making a remembrance ribbon. But the idiot that I can be at times, I made the ribbon quickly and low resolution for the web... here they are from originals Now here is the vectorized version... anyone know the best places for printing window stickers and such? Anyone who wants one, I will update when they are available. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

G-Town Posted December 6, 2007 Share Posted December 6, 2007 Ill take one as long as there is proof that ALL profits go to the trust fund. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkinSpike Posted December 6, 2007 Share Posted December 6, 2007 Love this. May I use it in my blog as a "userpic"? I'll give you credit for it. And if not, that's okay, too. I'm a big girl. I won't pout. (long pause) Much. *grin* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slinky Posted December 6, 2007 Author Share Posted December 6, 2007 my designs already been copied many times... but i am cool with it. and if i do create anything for sale, I will see to it that you have proof that all profits go to the fund. also, i just sent and email to a company that creates a very unique product that this can be used for that I know people would LOVE to have... I sent them a proposal that they would create the product and all profits would go to the fund. Once I get word back from them then I will let you know what it is... it is VERY cool. You will want one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone who wants one, I will update when they are available. Went to clinton portis' website and saw that he had a very similar design to yours. Pretty cool that you got your design on his website. It would have been better if it had been under different circumstances. Nevertheless, I guess it is an honor for you to have someone use your design in one our fallen sports icons website.

Skinsfan_70 Posted December 6, 2007 Share Posted December 6, 2007 i know this sounds "geeky", but what FONT did you use in your latest ribbon? thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
junglist350z Posted December 6, 2007 Share Posted December 6, 2007 not to hate, you must have live traced your original design in illustrator, but the 21 now just looks weird. you should remove that 21 and put the 21 over the ribbon in the original font and not the traced version. also, in your signature Art Monk is #18...

slinky Posted December 6, 2007 Author Share Posted December 6, 2007 i know this sounds "geeky", but what FONT did you use in your latest ribbon?thanks for the # 21 ?? if it is that since there is no other numbers or letters in the design, then it was a drawn vector and not a font.

Special K Posted December 6, 2007 Share Posted December 6, 2007 Count me in for a couple too!! I know another member posted this, but we should sell these inconjunction with the ES Sean Taylor memorial shirts and send all the profits to the charities we decide on.
