Design project you could be part of

Check this from guy that’s working the darts industry and is wanting to revolutionise the design aspect and you can help.

Design of flights in the UK darts industry has not changed for 30 years! We say no more flags!

The explosion in Japan is driven by the new young generation of darts players 18-25, the hip hop crowd of skateboarders, mountain bikers and extreme sports generation. A further new trend has been the addition of clothing to the darts scene in Japan that reflects this younger generation. 3G Design (flights can be seen above) is a good example of a company that offers its own brand of darts and clothing. Also in Japan unlike many venues in the West the Japanese are enjoying their darts at young trendy modern Sports Bars.

Working for the last remaining darts manufacturer in this country (UK) we want them to survive and regenerate the industry, we would love to see the movement in Japan return to the West. One way we see to start is the designs on the flights and we want to put “Art on the Dart”, that a new generation of player can connect with.

Bonus there’s cash on offer but not much, but it is there depending how well a design on a flights sells.. We can’t promise fortunes.
We hope also artists will find this interesting... be inspired to create something that fits a blank piece of canvas the size 4cm x 3.5cm. Just think how cool that it could be, who knows when that world champion on Sky TV throws his dart and the design on the flight is your design.

There is also some possibility of t-shirts design in Japan which is a separate issue and could be a side benefit to any artists. Contact us in the first instance and we will put you in touch g-man[drop an at symbol here]theurbanshop.co.uk
