I personally really love the graphic!

Anyway, i didn't expect everyone to like it... nor would i want everyone too. I think it's a more mature, sophisticated, and simplistic look... and that was the goal. Maybe that's the direction we keep moving in graphically ... or not ... It depends on the Zeitgeist of the collective minds involved and evolving in our company. Mutiny to me is an experiment into the more raw and vulgar, something a punk/alternative mind can relate to and a parent would question... Mutiny demands a reaction positive or negative... Integrity is more of a modern take on antiquity and exploration of the past... it puts old truths in the form of symbolism and ancient philosophies into allegory... it's layers of meaning are in essence art and poetry intertwined and unseen by most, but something for those curious enough to learn and grow from... it's trying to educated with out preaching. The admiring can dig into and use his own intellect to see the symbolism and use his own experiences and perspective to define it. It's ultimate message is positive and about growth of the self... It has that in some way in everything we have done/made from the very first day. If you don't care to get it... that's fine too... It isn't asking for anything or from anyone. It is what it is... or what it isn't ?

Paul, yeah skulls and flames. Maybe with rhinestones like the shirts you go clubbing in. It's not that the graphic is bad, I like it. It's just not awesome like the other ones. But it is integrity and if the wool fits wear it.

beautiful. I remember a lot of naysayers when nick's island graphic was posted, things change when you see it in person.

Integrity's graphics have always been sick and this is no exception, I love it. Reminds me of the Carpe Diem. Stoked for you Nick, can't wait to see it in person. Smash

Thanks for the images and explanation erich! I can definitely appreciate the difference between integrity mutiny (graphically), but the perseverance is pretty thoughtful and educational also (but still revolutionary or provoking in a different way).
