My drummer, who is responsible for the majority of our postering, has received comments that all our stuff, while well done, is too similar looking. This was intentional on my part from a branding/marketing angle. So I tried something different, keeping with the distressed industrial textures and whatnot, but not using my Garda Poster Template.

I do dig it, but don't much like the drop shadow on the text.

I generally don't care much for dropshadow text, but at the least, i would consider spinning it 180º so that the tops of the text are crisp, and the bottoms are shadowed/blurred. Just in a general sense, as people read top to bottom, it would help with legibility, in my opinion.

Otherwise, i like the change in color and mood of it. It IMO shows more of the dance aspect of your band's style than the darker/industrial/goth end of it. :isay:

Thank you sir. :isay:

It actually worked printed, if only because of the tendency of that machine to run dark. It wound up working as an outline sorta deal, so I left it.

...and yeah, it's a lot more dancey looking. Our opener does nifty live electronica, so that was more the vibe we were going for. I'm glad it works!

Thank you. We get that a lot about our shows in general. Even if you're not into what we do, we make the effort.

And you would, wouldn't you. :dildo: Also, it's magenta. :red:
