EPIC FAIL

[Bookcat]

this is the winning design. There are so many things wrong with the winning design that I am totally unsurprised that this is what they decided on.

LOL.  Are those the Flint Hills?

[Rick Daris]

yeah. second and third place are both better. way too much going on in the winning one.

Plus, why write in that it is located in the Flint Hills.  If you are flying into or out of Manhattan you damn well better already know it's located in the mother f^cking Flint Hills!

[KITNfury]

2nd was pretty good IMHO

[Bookcat]

I would have voted for your design.  The one they chose is terrible.

This is the other one I submitted...

I actually like that one better.  Art Deco (not an artist/architec/etc. so I'm not sure if I'm using that right) is cool.

this is better than the winner too. that winning one really is horrible. five different colors used. orange? really? also "since 1983". is this really necessary? why would you even put that?

[Bookcat]

yeah. I thought an art deco look, combined with the architecture of the building, and some colors related to the flint hills and the building would be a friendly type of logo to greet visitors and to put on promotional materials. oh well. That's the breaks.

I know, this is really upsetting to me for some reason.  I mean, it's like the Chinese flag saying, "Home to the Great Wall of China since 845" or some sh1t.  Why is almost everyone in a decision making position in Manhattan or Kansas State University a complete f^cking retard?

it looks like the plane is crashing into the ground.  that sucks.  terribly sucks.  i'd rather see a pile of dog crap shaped in the form of "MHK" than that.

[steve dave]

Is there even an e-mail address to contact and complain?  Was this thing rigged by 4chan like the Nebraska license plate contest?

meh.  seems like a lot of effort.  complaining on here is entirely easier.

I took care of it.  E-Mailed them a link to this thread.  So, basically, just complain here and assume they are going to hit my link.

ring...ring

"mhk regional airport how can i help you"

"yeah, this is clip art and i want my airplane back"


 

[steve dave]

I think I could MSPaint something better than that using nothing but the spray paint can.

[Rick Daris]

that orange colored lettering is just making me angry now. i can't understand what business orange has being in there. freaking orange. it looks so ridiculous there in between the red and green. my god. just change the color of that lettering to red and get rid of "since 1983" and i'll shut up about this. no way that this was designed by someone older than 16.

[ltrain37]

Too many colors, the hills or mountains or whatever they are look stupid, and apparently the plane is flying sideways.  The other two options or even BC's other pic are waaaay better.

Winning logo =

JFC. I call shenanigans.

This is better than the top 3.

A friend of mine sent me this link.

Shame on all of you.  Seems like jealously runs rampant on this board. 

[jthutch]

Personally I liked the 3rd place logo.

[kougar24]

im so glad i dont suck.

Do I get to say that?

[KITNfury]

I think it's the &@#%ing rocky mountains in the background that get me the most. I think it was inspired by the first couple episodes of jericho and the movie Airplane.

whatever ben.  you suck, since 1983.

[The1BigWillie]

Are those green volcanoes what the clip art plane is getting ready to slam into?  That's the craptiest logo I've ever seen. I liked 2nd place because I liked the way they worked the apple into the flint hills.  Very snappy.  3rd was also better than #1.  Horrible.

[fatty fat fat]

damn. books are the best.

Hey Ben, your winning design is great for a middle schooler, really is, but it has no place representing an airport with daily American Airlines flights.
