Good point.

Phantom 2 design? Your thoughts.

here is my choice

No, it has to be the old one with new colours ...

Seriously - could it be any cooler without inducing aneurysms?

Is that the actual graphic...? I like it !!

Kinda looks very OUTLAW-ish...

Hahhahaha Feyd stirring the pot again eh?

I heard this design talked about on the Playa by certain PL people.

Please no skulls. There are enough skulls on motorcycle stuff that looks tacky, not tough and menacing and it ends up just looking tacky on a kite. One of the reasons why I like the Phantom design because it is not a skull.

Nice phtoshop work though.

Really nice design and incorporation of the logo, but for me it's a little too much for a kite. Would look great as a small logo, but imagine it 10 ft tall. Just has too much of an an evil twinge to it. I think the trick for a kite is to find the balance of cool, chic, with a splash of naughty. The old design was pretty much loved by everyone, I imagine this one would be highly polarized. I hope PL is spending as much time on the graphic design as on the foil design...

Waay too close to the outlaw graphics for my taste.

I also am of the # that loves the phantom graphics because it's not a clearly defined skull. It's a bit vague, people see all sorts of things in it. I'd imagine that's one of the reasons it's so loved.

Peter Lynn Kites just changed his Facebook profile pic to your design.

You put it better than me. Agreed.

Yea, I like the old Phantom design. How cool would it to be to use the original design but with red eyes? Sort of Amityville Horror-ish...
No skulls on my kite for me please. I have plenty of skulls and flames on my HD and I admit I'm a poser in that regard. I bought it that way. :evil:

No that's were I got it from. I did not make it.

Simpler is better. The understatement on the P 1 graphic is just perfect. You have to let your eyes adjust to see the image. It's ok to turn it so the kite is symmetrical, but don't doll it up too much.

A quick mash-up ... put the phantom face on both ends so when the kite is doing its job (hauling ass) it can be seen by those on the ground - one face is down, the other up ... one face on either tip = Phantom 2 :D

I bow to your creative brilliance. That's a fantastic idea.

that 2-ended phantom idea kicks butt, kami... Nice one! Agree with the no skulls on my kite (flowing colors best for me) although I actually kinda like that mash-up of the logo and a skull.....

I agree, no skulls, snakes or dragons.

The quick photoshop image of the kite with the skull was only a loose example of a more "sinister" image than what is currently being produced on other PL models. In the email that the image was attached to it was specified that a skull would not be the image of choice.

It's just stupid easy to make a skull.

I like the use of negative space on both images. I like the old P1 graphic but this is a different kite and I think a different graphic would be on order. I like the Black/whatever color, pattern. I also like the fact that the graphic on the P1 doesn't date the kite.

That graphic looks as cool now as it did when it came out. All the graphics I see produced on kites and stuff today all seem to be falling into the same lines. That sorta "grafitti" style, as cool as it is, is being played to death. In a few years it will look wicked dated.

I really like Kami's idea of the 2 faced graphic. Blatantly obvious and I can't beleive I didn't see it before. Might be on to something there.

The thing I do like about the Skull graphic is the way it would look on the ground on it's trailing edge from the side.

Personally I still like basic black. ;-)

No skulls... ok.

No snakes... fine.

No dragons? Hey now... I actually wouldn't mind something with dragons.

I suppose that also includes chrome, flaming playing cards, dice, Smurfs, medieval weaponry, and grim reapers? :D

Nice Kami! I'd buy that.

.....of course I can't help but wonder if a Smurf kite would catch on and sell like crazy.......

It might also be cool if where the two colors congeal (black + x ), the resulting image could be seen as two different pictures depending on what color you look at. Like the optical illusion with the two men and the lamp.

Two faces illusion

Seanny is all about a "magic eye " kite.

We should also add no mud flap girls, no Harley shields, no rebel flags.

Sorry Sam, I'm just not feeling the dragons.
