Design sketch for our Summer 2014 86DRIVE T-Shirt! - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

PMok · 08-01-2014, 11:34 PM

If you’re a regular to our meets and DRIVES you’ve probably seen some of our loyal members sporting the spiffy 86DRIVE t-shirts — these were available in limited quantities in summer and fall 2013. To commemorate our second summer of fun and friendly DRIVES, we’re going to do another run of shirts, with a new and unique design. I started sketching this idea I had last weekend, and while it’s still a little rough I think it’s good enough to get the idea across.

So here is my new design idea:

What do you think? It carries on the 3-cars theme from the 86DRIVE logo, with 3 cars in front profile view, doing the 3 things we love to do most: Street (aka canyon carving), Track day (aka time attack), and AutoX (aka dodging cones). As you probably know, 86DRIVE’s main passion is about DRIVING, not standing around having meets in parking lots and looking under each others hoods (although we certainly do spend a good amount of time doing that too!). So I think this logo helps capture that and express, in 3 simple images, what we are about. My thinking is that this design might go on the front or back of the t-shirt, and then the traditional 3-cars logo design will be on the other side.

I would appreciate any feedback you might have, let me know your thoughts, ideas, suggestions, offers to help re-draw it even better, I want to hear it all!
Thanks,
-PMok

I like it as is. The kinda quick skwtch look is cool. If it is re-drawn better I think it isnt as fun as its meant to be.

Very cool P!

The drawing is really fun and cute. Maybe it can be refined as a "chibi" style that still shows the major details of the 86 twins.

another revision... there was a suggestion to take out the cars and just have the backgrounds on the shirt. This makes it a little more universal and perhaps will help broaden the appeal to all car/driving enthusiasts.

Let me know if you'd be interested in seeing this go into production as a shirt.

MyRx · 09-09-2014, 02:08 AM

^^^ put me down for 2 shirts.

RC51ed · 09-09-2014, 03:09 AM

finch1750 · 09-09-2014, 05:45 AM

I like it a lot better with the cars, but you know I will buy two either way. lol

BigFatFlip · 09-09-2014, 11:33 AM

I like it with the cars better also, but like everybody else, will probably get either. Put me down for 2...X lol (why is everyone getting 2 shirts anyways?)

Clipdat · 09-09-2014, 12:08 PM

I like it better with the cartoon cars.

I love the idea of the three takes on fun. I also like the three chibi front views as well.
