Baloo Posted September 20, 2010 Report Share Posted September 20, 2010 Wow John, you sure know how to wind folks up. So it looks like it will be made form some new Alien form of tecnology that Rev have just found. Completly see through, but with a new layout that lets you see the highlighted parts of the sail, only when seen against a white fluffy cloud background. Wow. Look forward to seeing it. Or maybe not seeing it depending on the weather. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johnnmitchell Posted September 20, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 20, 2010 Don't want to be spoiling the surprise but it does look sort of familiar Chris Nope, not that one. That is a one and only which only Ben has. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nobodyspecial Posted September 20, 2010 Report Share Posted September 20, 2010 Just a guess, but the mystery will unfold when the time is right, that would just be me though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnnmitchell Posted September 21, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 21, 2010 Thank You everyone for your Birthday greetings. Now I have a bit of a puzzle to add. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nobodyspecial Posted September 21, 2010 Report Share Posted September 21, 2010 Okay, I normally max out spatial acuity tests, so the puzzle was a little easy, if you open to a new window and let your mind wander for a tick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johnnmitchell Posted September 21, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 21, 2010 Another piece of the mystery is unveiled. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lauranyyfan Posted September 21, 2010 Report Share Posted September 21, 2010 Hi John- I guess you like puzzles.... lol... cool. So, I'm seeing a version of the previous one (Ben's one off) with that orangeish brownish background..... cool. Will look good against any sky.

beach Posted September 21, 2010 Report Share Posted September 21, 2010 John your just being wrong...... Okay gang here's what the deal is going to be, John has but together a really cool kite that is the history of Revolution kites, and our friends in Spain are doing the printing and they are cool very,very, cool......... There will be a total of 25 kites and 5 of these kites will go to very special people who have helped Revolution over the years, the other will go on sale as a direct buy item from me for the price of $325.00 US with any frame you want. Another thing is I will be having all three of the brothers sign and date each one, as many of you know we have not had the honor of Jim signing anything in a long time so these are really special....... My best advise is to call the office and put your name on one of these, or maybe 2 one to fly one to show, cause my thoughts are they will not last, also so you know after these 25 are made the template will be destroyed so these will never be done again...... So Family we have 19 up for grabs cause I know one person for sure who wants one, so call the office get on the list cause when there gone they are gonnnneeeeeeee......Ben Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnnmitchell Posted September 21, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 21, 2010 John your just being wrong...... I kind of think mysterious might fit me better in this case. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnnmitchell Posted September 21, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 21, 2010 The new Historical REV has finally come out of the clouds(and the puzzle). This one will really light up the sky for you whether it rainy and gray or bright blue and sunny. As some of you suspected it does look a bit like Ben's beautiful one and only blue Historical Rev which I designed last year. The background colors were taken from a beautiful golden sunset that I took pictures of in Langkawi, Malaysia. Revolution logo has been given the effect of being carved out of the material. Each Revolution on this Historical REV are photos taken by me. The photos you will find on the curve going from left to right are: - 1988 Neos Omega - 1989 Revolution I Classic - 1990 Revolution I Rainbow - 1990 Revolution II Basic - 1990 Revolution II Classic - 1991 Revolution II Rainbow - 1995 Revolution 1.5 - 1997 Revolution I Neo-Classic - 1997 Revolution I A-Symmetric - 1997 Revolution II Neo-Classic - 1998 Revolution 1.5 SLE - 2001 Revolution 1.5 SLE - 2002 Revolution 1.5 SLE - 2006 Revolution I vented - 2009 REV 1.5 John Barresi_Pro - 2010 ZEN Upper left is a REV 1.5 USA Flag by Barry "Bazzer" Poulter Lower right is a 2001 Rev Indoor This was not an easy project, however it was a lot of fun. In particular it was fun crawling through the deep dark vaults of Revolution to find some of these kites to photograph. The design was performed using Adobe Illustrator and Photoshop and a lot of training on those products. We have received photos of the first sail printed. Everything is perfect and the colors look great. Check out Ben's blog above for even more details. So folks, Here is the design on a real sky background.
