# Some advice please
Which one of these is nicerest? Its a minimalised version of my 'main' character for use as a logo and Tshirt. It needs to work on a black background, and has to have a nice, readable sihlouette.
I likes the one with the pink triangle, but im worried she could look like one of Pedro's short lady 'shops at first glance...

# 3 (which obviously doesn't work on black - why not restrict to a nice charcoal shirt?)
then at a push 8 or 9
the ones with arms down do look like she has arms for legs/legs for arms, especially 10

I like the face/raised head in 2, but think 3 is the most empowered and saucy

# Ive not got a Tshirt printing place sorted yet, so im aiming for black incase i dont get an option of fancy shades and colours
Plus, i prefer black, and Trixie's 'look' revolves around either black or lavender backgrounds, and im not wearing a lavender tshirt!

Bah - im fed up o' looking at it now! I do like how elegant and slinky the arm one looks, but yeah - legs innit. I dunno - ive seen a few characters do it before, and it didnt read as legs. Wasnt as minimal / solid as mine though.

I like 3, but solid black arms folded are hard to read. Im not gonna add reflection detail on her gloves - its all about sihlouettes and simplicity.

# why not include some arse?
that'd stop it looking like legs
*edit -
(I helped save b3ta! HappyToast Groat froth, Sun 16 Jun 2013, 20:25, archived)
# Because its mostly about her face. I was originally going to make it just head and shoulders
but i like the red boob shape balancing out the red of her hair.

I might just fuck it and order a Tshirt with the legarms just to see what the quality is like, and to give me something to wear for LFCC next month. No rush for mass production.

# Ah - i see.
Well, her outfit goes to black, not red around her hips, then white where her thighs are. Good idea though - ill have a tinker.

# Haha - when going for a simplified white look to her skin, grey eyelids looked wierd!
Ive got it sorted anyway - im gonna draw a line to define them in potatoshop. If you can see it through the horrendous compression, its on the last one in the grey background on the upper row

# 8
9 is nice too, but the circle seems a bit too bright.

4, 5, 6, 7 and 10 look like midget mermaids.

# My fave is still that one - the pink triangle one.
Im trying to make it work - ive added her arse like toasty suggested and its working - she doesnt look like a retarded midget mermaid anymore, as c@bbage suggested. 2, 3 and 9 with the crop are good, but not as easy to read or as 'elegant' as the one with her arms outstretched

Ta for all your feedbackses anyhoo!

# bottom row
second from right with the white circle, reduce the circle by 10% so that she breaks out of the edge.

also third from right, the odd door shape, let her hands break over the edge of the shape, as if she'd leaning out of a window.

use the red outline from the top row, first from right on the break out bit;s of the gloves.

# Good idea on the window / outline thingy.
Ill try that one. Not really sold on the circle / crop one though. Wanna go with more 80s / angular looking shapes for the border

# I tried it - it works nicely, ta!
Went a bit mental with the 80's ness of some of the shapes and colours. The pink ones are badass!

Might go with 3, but perhaps tone the pink down a tad.

# At a brief glance the arms out straight look a bit like stunted legs
Which is why I prefer the one in the circle of the first set, as it makes it more obvious that it is just the upper body on a brief glimpse.
Though I do think the size and contrasting whiteness of the circle detract from the character a bit.

# The circle one seems to be a popular one, but my design sense with this character when designing graphics has always been about blocks and edges
The circle doesnt really fit in that much, and i dont think the sihlouette is as strong, elegant or easily readable as the arm one.
Do you still think the arms look like legs now you can see her lower body on these ones?

# White Circle is my first choice
But it should have an outline if used on a white t-shirt. It avoids the leg/arm problem some of the others have, and gives better definition of the arms.
