SUPERSONIC
I’m feeling supersonic
Give me gin and tonic
Oasis | SUPERSONIC (click through to the music video which I had never seen till last night and incredibly, is full of passenger jets).
This tee has been simmering away for quite a while. The jets are all computer renders of a modified copyright free 3d model.

I’ve narrowed it down, but can’t decide on a t-shirt colour to enter – please let me know what your pick is.

Nice. I’d go with the black on black, but some people may not see the concept. It would print really well. Sound being hard to see and all that…

Thank you good sir – I do agree, black on black would be quite the spectacular thing.
Natalie Tyler
Great colours and nice typography! I’m thinking white for display purposes and black on black for printing purposes.
sjem © replied
Yes yes, I’m thinking that is an ace plan Tyles.

Black on black looks pretty rad.
Really nice design sjem.
sjem © replied
Thanks chanel – can I still call you that ?

Super fantastic job! How intelligent using an Oasis theme… they will surely eat that up. The close up is really nice too.. i like all the different textures.
I’m not going to be much help, but i think it looks best on both white and black….
sjem © replied
That’s a help raae raae.
I do love a bit of Oasis, I’m such a child of the 90’s when it comes to rock music.

I like it on pale grey. Liam and Noel will think it’s fucking excellent.
sjem © replied
Can you give them a call for me ? I had a bit of a blue with Noel over pints at the local … I probably shouldn’t have said Liam could sing better than him.
Danny
Nice work mr sjem
I thought you were going to pass on this contest.
Now I’m seriously thinking of pulling out.
:)
sjem © replied
I couldn’t bear to pass it up in the end. You aren’t allowed to pull out.
Cathie Tranent
White for display. Black would be spectacular.
sjem © replied
I think that is the consensus Cathie – thank you muchly for weighing in.
Scott Robinson
Black on Black! I know it`s the goods… the colour would drag the eye, and the black would be the subtle surprise.
And in other news, you`re a bit of a technical genius, you know that right?
sjem © replied
Bah .. a bit of CAD, a few renders, I even used illustrator in the end for the sound wave-y bits.

A CD cover eh ? I’ll talk to Liam and Noel Gallagher about it – see what they reckon …

I like the lemon best.
This looks pro.

Thank you fixy – are you entered ? I can’t find you ?
Simon Sherry
Holy crap – this is the stuff!
Beautifully done sir – for my money, white or black would be the go for the reasons that many have mentioned above.
Out of curiosity, did you try reversing out the sound waves against the text? T’would be interesting to see how that would look also (If you were to go for the black tee, I’d suggest reversing them out completely, but keeping the type in black).
Top 20 with a sonic boom, methinks!
sjem © replied
Excellent advice Simon, thank you. I tried the sound waves in white and wasn’t convinced – BUT having them subtracted out completely is a fecking great idea, I’ll give that a go tonight. I’m thinking removing them out from just the text may be the goer.
fixtape
Yep, although I’m trying out something new right now that I might enter if I get it up on time.
Oh boy.
I entered something old:

I wanted to enter something new:

But I don’t like that one so much.
sjem © replied
I like the ‘old’ version betterer too. Nothing like a rapidly approaching deadline to motivate though, I think you deserved a winning place last time.
Ange
dark grey looks great with this design sjem

sjem © replied

Ange

Chanel2
Can you still call me chanel?
Yes, of cause, it’s time I changed it back anyway.
Have you decided what colour yet?
sjem © replied
I reckon it’s gonna be either white or black. Definitely white for the voting period …
fixtape
I didn’t quite finish it. oh wellz.
Thanks muchly! I was pretty keen on that one too.
yanmos
nice work & entry once again sjem. good luck in the challenge!!
sjem © replied
Thanks yanmos and the same to you old boy – actually I don’t remember seeing your entry … I’ll go for a browse through your stuff now.
Rosina Lamberti
cool work
sjem © replied
Thanks Rosina – don’t forget to vote eh ?
Bryan Davidson
Man, you disappoint me with this.
sjem © replied
How come Bryan ? I’m open to any thoughts, crits and suggestions. Are not a flyer ? Don’t like Oasis ? Did I over cook the text ? Does my bum look too big in these ? Is my hair okay or has the heat made it go curly again ?
DApixara
great shirt!
Bryan Davidson
Never much liked Oasis, but the problem for me is that it seems just way too commercial, to give it a word. I don’t much care for big slogans on tshirts, and while the plane is nice and all, it’s too full of gradients and not much else to take my attention away from the big fuck off text. It just looks all a bit too much like something I could buy at Kmart, rather than something you’d do. Without the text at all it’d probably look alright, but still not something I’d swoon over. Also, I thought hair went curly from rain, not heat. My back hair does, at least.
sjem © replied
Mate thanks for being straight up with your thoughts, I really value that. I admit the fuck off text is a real departure style wise, and in many ways your dead right, I was really thinking about the kind of thing you find in a store and how to appropriate that for my own nefarious purposes. I guess what that means is that this entry is both a success and a failure.
Bryan Davidson
Well fuck. Redbubble is being gay. Please delete my triplepost as many times as you feel is neccessary.
Simon Sherry
Hey – just noticed that you knocked the sound waves out of the text (or knocked out some of the text form around them?) – I dig it, my friend, I dig it indeed.
sjem © replied
Yes indeedy I did, sorry I totally forgot let you know. I have a few other options but the rules are I can’t change the design once the voting has started – so this is it. Thanks again for your comments Simon, much appreciated.
Bryan Davidson
Oh wow, I only just noticed it came in black. It looks quite nice that way, especially cos it gets rid of the text.
raae
Fuck we didn’t even get a mention in the comp!!! WHAT THE HELL!!!!!!!!
I thought you would have had fo sho.
sjem © replied
Bah – clearly I didn’t cheat hard enough.
Simon Sherry
Robbed, mate…. robbed. :o(
sjem © replied
I think shanon noll puts it best …
Same applies to you old mate.
Simon Sherry
Nah, I’ve had my moment in the sun – and I’d rather play chess…
;o)
Casey Herman
Dunno exactly what type of jets these are, but that’s a moot point … they’re actually subsonic (3D models), not super sonic. Eh, just something totally anal retentive, but it’s just something that any pilot with not too many qualifications at all would notice, da’s all.
Stephen Thomas
Great T-shirt design!
