    Vote on Fencing Sticker Designs

    Well, folks, I finally got around to it! Here are four fencing sticker designs, and I need your help deciding which to order first. The vendor I'm using is having a sale and I hope to put in an order for one of them by the end of the month. Please vote to express which sticker you like best!

    All stickers will be on heavy-duty UV resistant white vinyl, suitable for outdoor automotive use, and will have a white outside border.

    These are good, dynamic designs. One question though, why are the epeeists in-fighting?

    I bet you'll sell the most of the three-weapon one.

    On the other hand, I've always loved that sabre logo of yours, Phrogger, and wish you would do similar ones for the other two weapons.

    I concur. The sabre one is the best looking one. I would get an epee version of that design in a heartbeat.

    Or perhaps a more generic version? (replace "SABER" with "FENCING", maybe obscure the guard so that it isn't quite so distinctively saber, and eliminate the head cord).

    That would be great. I'd buy one. It would look very, very sharp.

    The sabre sticker is the most dynamic and visually appealing of the four. I agree with those who have suggested it might be an idea to produce foil and epee variations of this one.

    The epee image does not offer clear visual communication as the others do so it is the least successful of the set. I imagine that the universal appeal of the three-weapon sticker would help it to sell but it doesn't have the visual punch of your sabre graphic. Yup... I'll have to go with number four.

    Mostly I just liked the composition. I think it's aggressive and eye-catching.

    I'm glad I presented this to the forum for feedback though, as the results are turning out different that I expected. I can see some people have much different tastes than mine! I will definitely work on creating a foil and epee sticker similar to the sabre design. Your comments are appreciated!

    I don't like the sabre one; it looks like the guy is wearing a space helmet and carrying 30-40 extra lbs

    If the blue background extended to the fencer's chest in the sabre design, that would improve it quite a bit. Right now the fencer looks overweight.

    Another vote for the saber design, but please carry the colors through so that the fencer looks less odd from a distance and make it more generic so as to be a "Fencing" instead of "Saber" sticker. If you did that I would be happy to sell them through my club, if you are looking for outlets. Also, as has been mentioned, it might be best to take the "saber" design and make one for each of the weapons. I like the epee, but I think it would be hard to understand what it was if you are not a fencers already. Nice work!

    The foil sticker needs a change of colour. I understand it's the "Army of One" idea or w/e, but that's not exactly popular, I don't think...
