Cliffside Bunker T-shirt design

[Witt]

I don’t like them or think they are appropriate for a WW2 T shirt, YG.
I think WW2 personalities would be a better idea.

I concur with Barney and Wittmann – the design doesn’t make me think of A&A or even of WWII.

One idea might be to look for pictures of Atlantic Wall fortifications and try to find one that actually was a cliffside bunker.  Pointe du Hoc (the cliff famously climbed by the US Army Rangers on D-Day) had fortifications at its summit, and the Batterie Lindemann guns would be another option.  This website–

– has lots of pictures of WWII German bunkers, for example the one below.  Your friend could take elements of different pictures (a cliff, a bunker, and a heavy coastal gun) and combine them, if no single picture is ideally suited.

I think there’s a misrepresentation of my motivations, I wanted to create a militia insignia for a small group of members in a private club, rather than a commercial logo for all to identify with. I hope that changes some preceptions of it.

Looks like an Iron Maiden fan club logo.

I think the color and image style is great. Love the bunker-esque guns too. I am not very into skulls, so I don’t like that too much, but it isn’t that bad.

Kind of reminds me more of the “Terminator” franchise than a gaming club.

[Gargantua]

I am in full support.

Send me a T!

The artist is definitely a huge Iron Maiden fan, I will get one to you somehow G.

I Just scanned it, did a few touchups in photo shop, and attachment it below… this will be closer to the finished image than the picture I took in post #1. Also planning to do a 3 up 3 down chevron on the right sleeve with a pair of dice in the middle.

Looks better

A little red mixed in would be cool
I like it!!!

Mirrored shades on the skull with red eyes behind LOL

[suprise attack]

What colors are available?
I like red and black

To tell you the truth guys, I’m a country virgin when it comes to making T-shirts… Just got the sleeve design done this weekend, so both designs will be ready to take to the printer after I scan the last one. In order to avoid challenges in the printing stage, I’m gonna go with  basic black shirts with white designs and script… If those prints turn out good, I will consider experimenting with different colours. I should have something to show you near the end of the month, I’m also considering a different design every year, but gotta get this one done first.

I think this is a great idea YG. I’ve recently been trying to get a regular gaming club together and my initial focus was on Axis & Allies. However some of my potential recruits are more diversified in their gaming tastes but still focusing on war/fantasy/sci-fi games. With that in mind if I ever get this “project” off the ground I too would have a more era-neutral but war game themed logo.

Ya, my club members are diverse gamers as well although when we set a date for A&A… it’s all about A&A. Some are also into Twilight Imperium, and minatures, while others are into Settlers of Catan, and Ticket to Ride.

I like it but it needs the following items added:

a pile of corpses
a mushroom cloud
“arbeit macht frei”
some blood
Adolph Hitler punching Joseph Stalin in the face
Slayer pentagram

LOL… Awesome.

Your shirt will be waiting for you here in Toronto, when you come to the 2015 FMG Convention in September  8-)

It would be great to see you and game together again, you have a place to stay at the bunker no charge if you can just take care of your flight and food.
