Howdy dudes, here’s one I put on another thread. It is one of the early mockups.
And per Karl’s request, here’s the itomaki hexagons replacing the circles, and a triangle in the middle.
Masahiro thought it looked like a face. Personally, I like one hexagon in the middle. 
Looking at jamies Idea:
Imagine less symmetry…
I cant really do a mock right now, but imagine the bachi laying against the edges of the right side rather than standing straight up
and then 3 lines (of different thicknesses) passing somewhere through
hopefully i can do a mockup later
I’m liking that one with the there itomaki!
Looks like everyone has had a blast so far coming up with designs.
Of course that’s cool, But come on people, seriously the Mon reached completion at the very beginning of this post. If I’m the only one that sees that and the Utimate tragedy of which I was fearful of is going to actually materialize into reality, then I realize I might be helpless to stop it. But if my words can in any way prevent this woefull tragedy from happening I feel I have to at least give it a try…
The tragedy I spoke of earlier when this was first posted is specifically this… Perfection is reached . Then the second guessing begins, resulting in the abandonment of perfection as a result of over analysis and incessant questioning of the perfection which has so obviously been reached already.
All I want to say is that the SUN rose. This means the original bachido mon appeared in complete perfection. And I want to stress “complete” which is a word that indicates that there is no need to add anything to it.
As always I acknowledge this to be my simple humble opinion. It’s my 2 cents but I feel strongly that each and every attempt to change or improve the perfect mon has been, to me like a match being struck in competition with the sun. As a fun excersize in creativity this is all well and good but I feel I finally have to admit that I have now developed the same kind of emotional terror one might feel while watching a child play by the highway. To realize that the perfect mon might be second guessed out of exsitance actually brings me a feeling of sadness.
I really pray to God that bachido does not settle for a match strike in place of the Sun .

Haha, it does a bit. But is that such a bad face? It really has the “SUGOI!!!” expression, and that is what Bachido is all about.
It’s fun to see Kevin’s speech of perfection of the first mon, so let’s come up with even more ideas just to mess with him 
Really, I think the first one is good too and it feels a bit like Kyle wants to have it as it is. A logo/mon can always change with the years should it prove being bad!
Also, I think it would look better with the bottom itomaki angled as the other two. I think that would look better than the three circles.
Karl,
Oh you evil bastard! (now it’s my turn to say that! Haha!)
Well I’m out guys! I officially renounce any involvement with the mon. It’s in your hands. I’ll be sad if some strange off shoot of the original is chosen but that’s all I can say.
Best of luck choosing a good design. I’ll prepare myself for a possible tragedy and just sit back and wait to see what happens.
I agree with kevin. For me the best one its the first one with kanji at bottom of the bachis. I see a lot of good designs (a lot of good manchego cheese too XD ), and I think a lot of designs can be used to make different shirts.
but the mon, for me, its the first one
Haha, I love you Kevin! All of your posts on here really remind me of that!
Kevin’s reaction is so priceless! Though I feel bad about it, the evil bastard in me wants to continue coming up with other ideas just to see how far we can torment Kevin.
Anywho, I have no problem keeping the discussions going, but as of now, I say we settle on the original Mon (with subtle kanji underneath when appropriate). Though it can be confused with a steering wheel, nobody said that it looks ugly, and that’s what matters.
Now I’ll start a thread on Mon shirt design. Everyone migrate there!
Damn, almost 100 posts. It feels really good to see that people are taking this seriously!
