2022 Calendar Ponderings!

Dear Insane Children, 

Font Lord here with a simple question.
Transparent or not?

As some of you may know, we are going to do a 2022 Calendar Print, and as you can see from the above image, we're wondering if the date box at the bottom should be solid as shown on the left, or should you be able to see through it as you can on the right?

Sound off in the comments with what you think is most visually appealing to you.

Also the actual print we will use is not set in stone yet either, so do any of you have a favorite print in mind we could use?
It could be one we already released or maybe a print we did not use yet but you've seen posted here on Patreon.
Let us know!

Sound off in the comments with your thoughts and suggestions.

Once we know all the information around the calendar, we will post here again before the end of the month to let you all know the details of how it will be obtainable.

Big hugs from sunny Shanghai.

- Cheers

2022 Calendar Ponderings!

I personally think the solid one looks better

greyrainbowchild

Solid

Non

transparent

Either works as it’s not noticeable and nothing jumps out to me

Okay, where can we buy these again?

SycrosD4

I like the solid

Transparent

Sarah McKeegan

Solid :D

I say solid.

Greyson Kehm

Transparent makes it feel more connected.

Solid

Transparent looks nice.

The transparent one, since it lets you to see more of the art.

Eva Mavrikou

I'd say transparent to see more of the art, though the left is also nice.

Jessica

First I am SOOO excited you are doing another calendar! Thank you! I like the transparency

Transparent looks nice.

I prefer the left for a starter page to show the months in the year, makes it feel for gathered and unified; while, I would prefer the right for the individual months.

Ukiyo

I personally like the transparent, allows more of the art to be visible

Mothra's Handler

Solid

Transparent.

Alice holding the Cheshire Cat is one of my favorite prints and transparent is cool

Not a fan of transparent

Not transparent

I like the solid look better

I like transparent. As per print to use, I like the universal trinity one as a past, present, future theme which suits a calendar.

Virtus Draco

The solid looks better. The red breaks it up more and I think that just looks better aesthetically

solid

I think the choice might depend on the underlying artwork. I lean a little more toward transparent in general though.

Kieran

As long as the main focus of the print is in the top half, solid is better

Solid is better in my opinion.

I would prefer the non transparent version, because (in my opinion) the actual transparent version looks kinda weird. Can't point out why, it just looks wrong. Maybe it would would look better with each month non transparent.

Gregor Hähnel

It covers more art, but something feels missing when it's transparent, so as it stands I prefer non-transparent.

I like opaque more

Juan Romero

I like solid

I really think it depends on the artwork used. Either works for the above print, but won't necessarily be the case for all examples.

MeBonnieLass

Not transparent

The more I look at it and think about it, the less certain I am, but my initial instinct was solid vs transparent.

Amy Gauna

Solids and a new print! Also, would these be the same material as usual? I'm not sure if a pen would work on the usual prints.

Wendy Jaa

I dig the transparent one but solid is good too, I just like the extension of the picture in the transparent version.

Karma Chameleon

Non-transparent but maybe a less “busy” box around it? Like the red points in the middle of the left and right side I think get in the way

Transparent, definitely.

I prefer transparent, It's more accurate for me.

I personally prefer transparent backgrounds

I think it depends on the background print. The above example works well with either. Some potential images could look weird with transparent or "lose" part of them with solid. The Universal Trinity might be a good one...and it would work well with either transparent or solid

Transparent

I really like both but I do like the transparent more. 🥰

I prefer solid, but will get it either way.

Transparent looks nice. Solid looks good too.

E.N.D.

My preference is solid but don't mind if it's transparent

Martin Towell

I prefer the transparent, but it wouldn't be a deal breaker for me. Love the artwork.

Abelwyn Connelly

I'm partial to the solid.

Apoll0nius

Either works. I agree with Holden.

Stephanie Groth

Really dig the transparent! It’s separate enough to see still but doesn’t distract or take away more of the art which is my biggest want in a calendar anyway
