Some Creative Help Needed (Please, please, please!)

[LeslieJM64]

My family and I are planning a trip to DLR the end of June, and I'm making us special shirts to wear.* They are camp shirts (short sleeve, button front, collars, that sort of thing). Each shirt will have the wearer's name and a Mickey head 50th logo on the pocket, and an image representing their favorite ride appliqued on the back. For example, my son's shirt has a target from Buzz Lightyear's Astro Blasters, and mine has a silhouette of the pirate ship weathervane from Peter Pan.

The problem I'm having is with my daughter's shirt. Her favorite ride is Big Thunder Mountain, and I'm stumped. I need a relatively simple image to represent the ride, and I can't find one.

Any suggestions?

Thanks

*Yes, as a matter of fact, I am slightly insane. When we went to WDW in Dec. 2000 my hubby and I went to Victoria and Albert's for dinner. For the occasion I made us authentic Victorian clothes---I even wore a corset! Luckily my husband is a very good sport.

A goat.

how about the words big thunder mountain railroad? and a small train in the pic?

A goat.

Chewing TNT!

A goat was the first thing I thought of also. BTNRR is my favorite ride as well. Or, how about an ore cart.

How about somehting to do with gold mining. A coal cart? Or a train engine in front of a mountain or coming through a tunnel?
Good Luck Would love to hear how they come out.

Whew! I'm still laughing over the goat thing!

The reason I'm having trouble is that I'm hoping to use something simple and iconic, if I can. Somewhere I saw a pic of the entrance to BTMRR with a brand (like a cattle brand) above it, with the letters B, T, and R intertwined. Is that at DLR or WDW?

Thanks for the suggestions, by the way!

are you looking for a photo? a drawing? something you're going to draw?

seems to me it's pretty simple enough to roughly sketch a mountain, a locomotive speeding down from around the bend. the goat would be a nice touch too.

[LeslieJM64]

Right now I'm hoping for a photo of a sign or a logo of some sort. As an example, I'm using this image



for my niece's shirt, and this one

for my mother's.

I want to keep the images as simple as possible (so I don't have to spend 2 weeks working on a single shirt), but recognizable as something from the ride. I'm trying to avoid using words, if at all possible, though.

Thank you bunches!

El Goat The official representative of BTMRR.

well, the most logical place to start a search is images.google.com:

this is the shot i personally like (which can be simplified into a 'drawing' type with photoship filters and whatnot):

and this looks like a pin:

I was thinking the rock formation before someone so aptly suggested the goat. LOL.

That first pin logo posted by bradk would make an excellent design, I think. You totally know it's BTMRR.

[Disneyfun]

The only brand I can remeber seeing is at the bar-ba que place out behind Thundermountation. sorry not more help!

[PirateSmile]

I second the goat idea. Also, some railroad tracks around the sleeves would be fun!

[Tinkerball]

How about the train "splashing" throught the water with the dino bones? I dunno...that always screamed BTR at me :]

I don't have any ideas beside the goat...and the links BradK suggested.
Funny though...My family and I are going to DLR the end of June as well and I bought canvas bags from Michaels, and I am doing the same thing just on the bags. Great minds think alike.
