Hey everyone Since I am far too deeply invested in the railfanning hobby, I’ve often gone looking online for some kind of "fan wear." However, almost everything I found was disastrous most of the shirts were either screaming with all one's soul "I am a train-aholic, just please don't talk to me" or giving the vibe of something a dad wears on a random Sunday family barbecue (just take the attachment below as an example). There is certainly nothing I can wear to uni without embarrassing myself. A few days ago, when I was bored, I came up with the idea to design my own. The concept is streetwear with subtle designs that act as a secret handshake for those who know, but look like stylish graphics to everyone else. The designs are rather minimalistic (that’s just who I am), but they’re at least supposed to be instantly recognizable to a railfan. Focus will be on UK, German, and French stuff. So yeah, essentially, what this thread is actually for is your feedback! I’ve already started playing with the design tools, and as soon as I’ve finished some concepts, you will see them in here. Stay tuned After all, what do you think? Does this concept have potential? Would you be interested? Or should I rather start looking for better ways to waste my time. Please, be completely honest.
Soooo I couldn't stop experimenting, and I came up with this design Of course, it's nothing but a draft, I kinda like it though. Thoughts on this? Too minimalistic? Too loud/large? Too cryptic? Too obvious? For those who don't know - it's a black-and-white version of the mechanical French Carré signal, which essentially is the French red signal. I hope all French railfans will recognize it though- Noted but that's great to hear!
