Hi guys,
I'm looking to buy a pair of Phantom Chrome LPs from the "Private Sale" section on V-Moda's site, along with some custom shields, and I had a few questions:
1. Has anyone had any experience buying from the Private Sale bit? (i.e. this bit: http://v-moda.com/verified-crossfade-lp/) I assume they're headphones that V-Moda has refurbished and checked for quality control? Only choosing them because I'm strapped for cash but have been craving some decent cans for a long long time, and as long as the quality is ok, I can't pass up the opportunity to get them at a lower price. Also, I'm a basshead, so the original LPs (from what I've heard) are the perfect model...
2. I'm thinking of getting Blue custom shields - does anyone know what that might look like on the Phantom Chrome model?
3. I'm having a hard time choosing between images to put on the shields, and because I know almost nothing about graphic design and have no experience of photoshop or illustrator, I was wondering if someone here might be able to help out! I've got 5 potential designs that I need to pick, and just want opinions on how well they would work/which ones look good...
(Just for context, I'm a Leo and my initials are NN, hence why I've got the following choices
(A) I found this other day and thought it was cool because I've always loved that my initials are reversible, but I think it might need jazzing up a bit. Would anyone be able to help make it a bit sexier? I'm useless with design software and would really appreciate some help
(B) I like this one because it has a tattoo feel to it, which I think lends itself quite well to the shields...
(C) Similarly, this one is also cool because of the tattoo feel to it - any thoughts on how it compares to (B)?
(D) I saw recently that V-Moda are getting better at using grey shading on the engraving, so I thought this might be cool...
(E) Finally, this one - it's got the Leo symbol, which I like, but is it too detailed to work?
I'd really appreciate thoughts/comments etc, and if anyone is willing to help out with making the designs more suitable/jazzing them up a bit I would be incredibly grateful!
Thanks!
