Mood: Just buggy...
Phantom 2 design? Your thoughts.
I like it, but like the smooth lines of MK1 a little more.
EDIT I got this from the PL Facebook page.

The old design
had a lot more character and harkened back to
and this
Which always struck me as an oblique homage to
VIDEO
the new design
Just strikes me as more generic and seems skewed more toward the trend to throw skulls on tactical gear to make it "cooler":

Not a fan of the green skull graphic from the top - too harsh and distant from the original - I like the original stylized version that was
reminiscent of the phantom comic - just a solid graphic. If they had to change something it should be how they are placing the graphic on the kite
and maybe some slightly different line work - but use the same basic "recognizable" graphic.
By the way very nice work indigo_wolf for the reference material collage.
we all believe is called the expansion

It is still way better than when Peter Lynn produced the GUERilla with a picture of a GORilla on it.

It hovers between evil and comic while failing at both. Not that I want either.
I sure hope this is just a troll.
