I understand how you feel. I find myself thinking about him a lot and hoping the next time I browse the forums that I won't read some worse news.

I hear ya on that.

This is my first time on here in a few days, so I'm just finding out. This is so awful! Prayers, good vibes, etc. for our brother.

xSean13 · August 9th, 2012, 08:03 PM

This is what I came up with after a few minutes in photoshop.

Can you remove some of the detail, make it a bit more cartoony so it stands out well

iplante · August 9th, 2012, 08:06 PM

Ok now vectorize it

Same here haha. My dad is a vector n00b but he agreed to attempt it. My brother is on vacation but he would do it when he gets back

iplante · August 9th, 2012, 08:19 PM

Sean (either), like the Not Bad Obama meme vs the original photo

iplante · August 9th, 2012, 08:21 PM

Or these

Panda · August 9th, 2012, 08:24 PM

I was thinking maybe something like this? But less sucky.

OCMagnum · August 9th, 2012, 08:28 PM

Just joined the forum and started riding only a couple of weeks ago, so I don't know Alex other than a few posts (room mate dropping bike...), but am praying hard for a miracle and full recovery.

Keep the faith and keep fighting!

My vote is on this one. I like the contrast, and it will stand out. People will ask about it, and we can relay the story, and it will possibly make an impact on cagers/riders alike.

EthioKnight, get better! Our prayers are out for you, and hope that you recover and can joke about this in the future!

This is the absolute worst. Why do some people have to suck so bad?

Old Lemon · August 9th, 2012, 08:31 PM

^ is my vote as well

seems like a time for another poll thread

Luvninja · August 9th, 2012, 09:03 PM

Same design, just more solid.

massacremasses · August 9th, 2012, 09:11 PM

idk if its just me, but I dont like making stickers because he is still with us, and still fighting... I feel like they are final...

I have faith that he will make it, I fully believe this.

I hope others are not thinking that the decals are to "remember" Ethio, he hasn't gone anywhere. What I thought when someone suggested making some decals was that it was to sell them. I've seen decals, stickers, and T-shirts made to help out an injured rider. Aside from making donations these decals can be sold, the profit goes to him and his family for whatever they need. For us (for me), the decals (whatever design the ninjette community chooses) represent hope, the unity in us as riders to support someone who most of us (like me) have not even met.

Please everyone, keep praying. Let's help him get strong so when he looks on this site he can see everyone rooting for him, maybe even his fellow ninjette members rocking an Ethio inspired decal.

Ritaro · August 9th, 2012, 09:33 PM

Definitely hoping the best for you Ethio

The stickers aren't just for remembering a fallen rider, but can also serve as a reminder to always wear your gear, or if people ask about it, you can tell them the story and maybe they will be more careful around motorcycles

aShifty · August 9th, 2012, 10:05 PM

Bismallah.
i know alex can make it through this!!

Jiggles · August 9th, 2012, 10:09 PM

Perhaps we could use a slightly more proportional image?

CThunder-blue · August 9th, 2012, 11:23 PM

Just bear in mind that multi color decals are expensive to make. Also, the more detail you try to cram into it, the harder it becomes to produce. I would stick with just the helmet and mohawk in a single color.

black and white outline or perhaps alex's favorite color? and not as 'detaily'. just rider suit, helmet, and chair. and what jiggles said. if not someone make a helmet and mohawk lets see it

oreX · August 9th, 2012, 11:54 PM

Its really horrible that his happened to one of our own. I have a strong feeling that he will pull through. We could start a campaign to help him on the website below.

http://www.indiegogo.com

Luvninja · August 9th, 2012, 11:57 PM

I think what needs to be done first is someone needs to help the family set up a paypal account to recieve donations. This way people can donate as soon as possible.

Then we can all search for a company that makes custom decals and note their prices for multi color and one solid color. THEN everyone can decide what image to use. It would be nice if someone took charge in ordering the decals, then was able to ship them out to members that bought them. Maybe someone that knows him and/or his family. The profit of course goes to Ethio and his family.

I realize we could all just individually send out an order for decals and rock em on our bikes. But the point is to help out the family, so the profit of selling the decals would help them, along with donations.

kaiserz · August 10th, 2012, 01:20 AM

My first time doing something like this.

I really hope he survives this.

Jiggles · August 10th, 2012, 01:56 AM

@Apex please draw this

Miles_Prower · August 10th, 2012, 03:39 AM

i see the stickers as hope..and to show that we have each other's backs so to speak, support.

ai4px · August 10th, 2012, 04:14 AM

As for the sticker, I tend to think less is more. How about just a simple helmet with visor and red mowawk? I'm no graphic artist, but something akin to this?

ai4px · August 10th, 2012, 04:28 AM

Or how about this? Again, I'm not a graphics geek.... AGATT, mohawk... but if you look at it differently, the gloves are praying, and the mohawk is a halo.

iplante · August 10th, 2012, 05:05 AM

Wes, YES minus the arms/hands

Take the EPS file to your local vinyl sign shop and they'll make it any way you want!

massacremasses · August 10th, 2012, 06:38 AM

make another thread for designs and such. I want to know his condition currently, not new designs for a sticker. (although its great everyone wants to help!) I think this thread should just be for support and updates about his condition.
