    Looking for clip art/3 crossed blades

    I'm looking for a image of the 3 fencing blades crossed that could be used for a t-shirt design.

    Anyone one have one to share or have a direction to point me in?

    Thanks,

    L

    Here's something I threw together using graphics of weapons that I made for my club images:

    If you need it in a different file format, colors, or arranged differently, let me know and I'll send you the PSD Photoshop file. I made it rather large so that it will transfer to a shirt with minimal distortion.

    Wouldn't the epee be a French grip and the Foil be a pistol?
    ↕ Embrace both lines.

    easy fix, just moving a few layers around. If that's the way you want it, let me know. Or you could have french on both....whatever....Photoshop makes graphics easy (kinda).

    Would it be a problem to get french on both? I'd like to see how that looks. I'll show you what I come up with with each once they're finished.

    Try making it 300 dpi in Photoshop (it's currently at 72 dpi). It'll transfer with really good resolution and detail for any non-web application. The file size will jump but the outcome will be better. Better yet is to re-create the image in Illustrator (or any vector format app) and save it in AI or as an eps file. Then it can be resized w/o losing detail and be used for other things. I'd also put a point at the end of the weapons...

    Okay, here is the Adobe Illustrator remake that I did today. I would just like to state for the record that I hate Adobe Illustrator. Yes, it is good for making vector-based graphics, but half the time I can't do what I want. Photoshop is so much easier to use.

    Both images are rather large (300 dpi):
    http://bsufc.iweb.bsu.edu/weapons.jpg - white background, black weapons
    http://bsufc.iweb.bsu.edu/weapons.gif - transparent background, black weapons

    I edited it so the epee and foil both have french grips and the sabre has a better looking guard.

    It's a problem with Ball State's server. If you right-click and save-as, it will work.

    Yeah, just some generaly knowledge for everybody that comes across this thread. Feel free to use this graphic for your clubs/teams/whatever. If you need something a little different, or the weapons in a different order (or different grips) just let me know.

    All I ask in return is that if someone asks where you got your graphic, just point them to my website: http://www.kobystudios.com, or just say "some random dude on Fencing.net made them."
