Scuff Posted November 24, 2008 Report Share Posted November 24, 2008 I'm also not a fan of the 4 choices given. But diggin' JK's Version #1 and #3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Donek Posted November 25, 2008 Report Share Posted November 25, 2008 I've e-mailed JK on the rusted rivets. I'm just waiting for a reply from him. Unfortunately it's not really possible to get a metalic look from a dye sublimated pbt print. As a result, I fear that his first two designs would just look half baked. I think they look great though. We'll see what we can do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the metallic print can't come out well can it be substituted for another color for the first 2 designs. Maybe a red or silver? I just realized that the design had the donek bird logo (I'm just slow I guess) and I like the design even more. Its very classy and feels modern IMHO. JK, can you make other variations of your first 2 designs since the metallic pattern may not be possible? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would be possible to put just about anything else there. Flames, solid, fades... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. T Posted November 25, 2008 Report Share Posted November 25, 2008 This may not be constructive but I'm still a fan of the old old Donek bird logo and really love plain but tech looking tops. How about a clear top sheet with the carbon sheet showing through and a simple logo? Of the options so far, I liked 1 and 2 of JK's but it would be nice to get a more full image of the bird as I sort of had to stare at it a while to get the image. Perhaps with the bird in smaller scale or more centered and on the nose, I dunno, guess I'm thinking of the older donek base graphics but slightly morphed. I'm guessing the bird in JK's design is clear and we would be seeing the carbon sheet below? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mr_roboteye Posted November 25, 2008 Report Share Posted November 25, 2008 I can go one better than that, I only bought it ( for 99 cents) so people wouldn't think I was making it up. Buddy, I think you might have me beat there. later, Dave R. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hotbeans Posted November 25, 2008 Report Share Posted November 25, 2008 JK moscraciun's board designs are sweet IMO.. #2 or 3.. best of 'em all.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeffrey Day Posted November 25, 2008 Report Share Posted November 25, 2008 It seems that I concur with everyone else and would choose JK's rusted metal bucket if it were in the poll! Very cool artwork JK! I dig how it looks 3D with the shadow cast around the rivets/bolts! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mr_roboteye Posted November 25, 2008 Report Share Posted November 25, 2008 I guess I should get back on topic. I love JK's design #2, and I like JK's #3 very much. thanks for sharing your art with us, and thanks for listening Sean. Dave R. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KingCrimson Posted November 25, 2008 Report Share Posted November 25, 2008 JK's rust bucket is simply riveting! Might have to pick up a Donek just for that topsheet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JK moscraciun Posted November 25, 2008 Report Share Posted November 25, 2008 Well silver is a metalic color, so it won't work. It would be possible to put just about anything else there. Flames, solid, fades... Thank you for showing interest yes is good idea to try to change that metallic surface in something that is even more relevant for your brand(since is in the shape of your brand icon), ex.: speed, agility, lightness etc! I could explore in this direction later on! ps I responded to your email to. JK Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allee Posted November 25, 2008 Report Share Posted November 25, 2008 The rustbucket is awesome. That would look so cool screaming down a hill. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jon Dahl Posted November 25, 2008 Report Share Posted November 25, 2008 I love the rust bucket look, on a big freeride board like a 180 Incline. Both the others are cool too, those three float my boat. The first four either leave me blah, or the "samuri" leave me sick, yeach. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pow Posted November 25, 2008 Report Share Posted November 25, 2008 Agreed, the rust bucket is the best i see up there. Very cool and appropriate too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rdietz Posted November 26, 2008 Report Share Posted November 26, 2008 I like the idea of the samurai sword but there needs to be more sword in the image. I like the clean lines of 1 / 2 though. I always liked the image of menacing jagged mountains as graphics in a cold blue scheme. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EnisiWaya Posted November 27, 2008 Report Share Posted November 27, 2008 Sean after talking with you and re-reading this whole thread, From my background in marketing of new engineering i have come to a conclusion. The Rust Bucket is so unique a concept and has such visual impact even to the snowboard mags and ski mags that only recognize park boarding will be entranced and have to cover it. The free media coverage of the board and it's relationship to carving folks is something that could not be bought at any price. All the bums will have pictures and blurbs in all the mags and online stuff just so they are not left behind on showing it. lots of free publicity for Donek and for our sport.

*Ace* Posted December 5, 2008 Report Share Posted December 5, 2008 Just checked over the Donek site. After all that debate the original graphics remain. Oy! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Donek Posted December 5, 2008 Report Share Posted December 5, 2008 Just checked over the Donek site.After all that debate the original graphics remain. Oy! Yes, we will be offering the original graphics as well as a couple from JK. I received the final artwork for the rust bucket a couple days ago and we will get it posted on the site soon. We also have a version of the carbon fiber print with the bird in flames as we could not produce the metalic finish with this printing process. I expect the images will be up soon.

Sean/Donek, Thanks for keeps all the 4 options and bringing in JK's work as well. I was worried that only the 2 most popular voted designs would be available. Now that I see you're giving more options I think that alot of people will be satisfied with the designs available. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was worried that only the 2 most popular voted designs would be available. Now that I see you're giving more options I think that alot of people will be satisfied with the designs available. Options have always been our intention. We wanted to be sure we were on the right track. If some of the graphics got no votes, we would have obviously nixed them.
