I personally prefer monochrome clothing and designs, and from my experience those are best and easiest sold, spread and worn by most people. (PS and cheaper to do)
Ignoring the rainbow discussion alltogether ;-)

That's a really nice design idea.

And monochrome submitted a design ?! I missed that one ...

This is excellent! But I kind of wish it was a K? Is that confusing? I guess all those cameras are not K-mount, actually. Never mind me!

Considering that a FF is finally in the pipeline, how about using one of the most well known slogans for beer?

"Pentax, worth waiting for!"

Unless Carlsberg might sue us....

I've tasted Carlsberg and believe me....no one's waiting for that stuff. Especially I do not want to associate Pentax with anything that watered down. Go to Belgium, have a real beer and then we can talk. If one of you design geniuses can figure out a way to have St. Bernardus hoisting a Pentax instead of a chalice, I'll wear that shirt!

This is a simple but fantastic idea! I like it.

It could be much more unique and detailed if every camera-body only appears once. Maybe there can be one body in different angles. ...and if there could me more pentax products: lenses, flashes, and so on. Perhaps you can try this; could be awesome, could also be very chaotic. But it's worth a try. Please do the petaxforums-sign in red - it'll be a great eyecatcher and callout.

Thanks! And I did think of or try all your suggestions before

I used multiple of the same images simply because of lack of time. I could use more if I spend some more time on it. And I could use multiple angles of the same camera bodies. If there's interest, I'll definitely do that!

Lenses and flashes. Well, those are not really visually appealing to me. Lenses turn to simple squares or circles in one colour. They are more recognisable on the camera body.

I did try the PF logo in red (and other colours) and it does work indeed. But for the sake of simplicity I chose for 1 colour nonetheless.

PS and I thought of using a K instead of a P. But I wanted to include all mounts, I also included q / screw / 645 / compact etc products.

your desing is great, tell us if you need help for the cams and ankles and as which output. It is A contest, but If we could improve as team here, I guess nobody minds

Rupert · 03-03-2015, 08:21 AM

I like a lot of the designs I see here.....but.....when it comes time to vote, you guys are going to have a numbers problem with those Billion Squirrels voting!

Regards!

I could never wear that one! The curvatures built-into it would make my stomach look even larger than it actually is!!

I'm not a designer, but I really, really like the middle one from the 2013 submissions! I'd wear a shirt like that

And the monochrome cameras mozaic is beautiful.

I like most of the designs in this thread, but your "P" from cameras is the one I would wear. Monochrome clothing fan here as well

Good job!
