FX Trieste decal contest, I need forum members help!

Tue Feb 21, 2012 12:08 pm

Ok, Greg and I went to the quarry yesterday and dived for about an hour in the warm 39 degree water. Greg used his VDH PRAM and I used one of my newest regs, The FX Trieste! It breathed great and is a pretty sharp adaptation of the Trieste by Luis I must say. The one nagging issue is that I do not have a good decal design in my head for the FX Trieste or the FX Titan. I don't usually do this, but I would like to ask for help from the the great VDH forum members in the form of a design and idea. Now Hello Kitty has already been done so that will not do. If I get a design that I really like and you will allow me to use it with no threat of lawsuit I will send you a t shirt of my choice as a thank you. I spare no expense :roll: . The shirt will definately NOT be an illegal yellow 1958 diorama as that was invented by some guy in Florida and I can't use it. Ok, it may indeed be a diorama, but you will be sworn to secrecy and the shirt will self destruct when it arrives at your home.
I have had some thoughts on the decal such as FX Trieste Tactical and so on, but nothing has really jumped off the page at me so I need your helps guys and gals.

As usual the t shirt I send will be a real silk screen not an iron on and it will be from a smoke free location.

You could name it after another cool Italian city, like Elba. Trieste is a NE Italian City, and this is a relative of the Trieste. You could make a can sticker and a first stage body sticker. Elba is also an island, hence surrounded by water, which kind of adds to the flavor of the whole thing. For the can sticker you could use the name of the regulator with an outline of the shape of the island. It's simple, but cool. That's a darn good regulator too with all the ports.

I do recall from our history lessons that Napoleon was exiled on Elba Island.

When I think of Trieste, I think of submarine, not Italy and it's thin cheese pizza. Perhaps something with a conning tower and a periscope implying that this baby can go deep!

Hey Bryan shouldn't that "TM" be in crayon and nicotine or something?

You just make those royalty checks out to Geoff J Esq. I spent a long hard 15 minutes re-drawing that.
