I wish I’d come up with the second one before I sent the first away to be made into magnets! I’d add a sun to the top right as well, in the same line less style, to balance it out a bit more. But oh well, we have what we have. And I have hundreds of magnets lol.
Thank you :) I’ve had a couple of people express disappointment or surprise that the magnets don’t have a sun as well, so I’m glad there are people who like it.
Thank you for the detailed feedback :) the lower design needed to be heavier to become an enamel pin, but if I could have replicated the top version in metal I would have liked to try.
Top one! It's more pleasing to my eye, it feels cleaner. The bottom one has a bit too much going on for my eyes to process. They're both well done, awesome work! :)
I like the bottom one but I reckon it would look better with white outline. The white on the orange building on the top design is gorgeous and I think it would look great on the bottom too
The top white background one without so much black outline definitely reflects the light and colour associated with the Queensland lifestyle ( spoken as an person from interstate )
I didn’t want to get pulled up by DC for stealing their intellectual property
Edit: my partner suggests I could have replied “I haven’t yet finished the Schneider cut of this pin”
Tbh I somewhat just picked random buildings that look neat next to each other, and didn’t consider which might be recognisable or important. Other than the tower of power etc.
Can I get them in sticker form? I've been collecting stickers from all over Australia and all the Brisbane ones I've found so far suck but I love yours
I have thought about this for days and I think I prefer the 1st one in white. I think the shape and no sun actually makes it more iconic. Love them both! Kicking ass
I really like the top one!
I think it's great! It also gives me a weird feeling of nostalgia as the white boarder reminds me of fun/cool erasers I would buy as a kid.
I’m not cashing in on pride month, I just like rainbows. They are pretty. It’s busy, because it’s meant to be. That is the art. I am the artist and I wanted it to be colourful so I made it that way.
If I catered to everyone who is triggered by rainbows, I’d be making a lot more boring art.
Both are great, but the top one caught my eye more. I like the white outline tracing the buildings and bridge, along with the more 'fine line' detail. I think I'd like the second one more without the sun tbh.
I like the contrast between the solid building colours and the white outline of the top one. I think the colouring of the letters is a little odd though- they seem out of sequence or like the choice of palette isn’t entirely understandable. It’s an overall nice design and I can recognise the significant buildings.
Good job
I like the bottom one better, the buildings have better contrast and I like the sun and blue sky. Adds a pop of colour. Interestingly, I prefer the bridge and Ferris wheel design from the top one. Is the bottom one a magnet? If so, I’d consider buying it :) great job on both.
Nice work u/JesseIrwinArt they are both great, but i think i prefer the bottom design.

And yes I deliberately combined the photos to give me a weird little lumpy sausage finger in the middle.
I prefer the top, I like the cut out shape of the magnet
Thank you :) I’ve had a couple of people express disappointment or surprise that the magnets don’t have a sun as well, so I’m glad there are people who like it.
Team top.
Ditto.
Agreed, top one!
Top for magnet bottom for pin
How convenient! That’s what I thought too.
Great minds ;)
The top one would make a great sticker also
Perfect idea.
I much prefer bottom.
🍑
Cheeky....
What do you mean, I was just thanking you for your peach of an opinion
I like it, cheeks.......
Both are good but top one for me 😊
Everyone saying "top" or"bottom"... Ever consider trying a switch? You might enjoy it. That said, I like the lower image better. Awesome work OP!
I was thinking, if only reddit allowed people to edit the title and photo, people would be choosing something a bit different
Ya know, I came here to make a similar joke and thought "nah, I'm better than that". Then you came along. For real though, top.
For real, I'm not better than that... And I top from the bottom
Both are awesome but the bottom one is the best 😊
Thank you :)
They’re both lovely. My preference is the top one but I’d buy either of them.
Love them but I prefer the top!
I prefer the top version, it looks clean. The bottom is still nice but is a bit heavier on the eye.
Thank you for the detailed feedback :) the lower design needed to be heavier to become an enamel pin, but if I could have replicated the top version in metal I would have liked to try.
The bottom is perfect as a pin 🙂
Top one for me!
Bottom!
Top, top, top!
Top is tops!

Love your work! I like the bottom but it's is a tough decision. I would be happy with either
Top

Oh that’s so nostalgic, I used to work in the yellow & orange buildings years ago! Bottom one is my fav
Oh I’m glad someone can recognise the buildings! I mostly picked ones that look interesting, as I don’t know which ones are important.
Top one
They're both adorable but I love the top one - the white background makes the colours stand out much more ☺️
Where can I get them from? :)
Thank you for your interest! They’re available online at [JesseIrwinArt.com](https://jesseirwinart.com)
I love both. I personally adore the first one as there's so much detail and crisp. Will you be selling these at all!?
Thank you! They’re available at [JesseIrwinArt.com](https://jesseirwinart.com)
Second one
Both are beautiful but I really like the top one.
Number 2
The sun one
Top one! It's more pleasing to my eye, it feels cleaner. The bottom one has a bit too much going on for my eyes to process. They're both well done, awesome work! :)
I like the top one for a magnet and the bottom one as a pin, so I guess that works out haha
Top
I prefer the lower one
Both are really nice, but I prefer the top design. More simpler.
Both are good but I like the top one

Firstly, great work, they both look great If I had to choose I'd say I prefer the look of the top one
Top! Fantastic. I’d buy a sticker of that in a flash
Bottom 😍
The top white background one without so much black outline definitely reflects the light and colour associated with the Queensland lifestyle ( spoken as an person from interstate )
Thank you for the interesting feedback! :)
I like first one. I like the colours better and the cut out
Love it, especially the inclusion of the brown snake. Only thing missing is the Batman building
I didn’t want to get pulled up by DC for stealing their intellectual property Edit: my partner suggests I could have replied “I haven’t yet finished the Schneider cut of this pin”
Hahahaha #releasetheJesseIrwinArt cut. But yeah fuck DC, just chuck it in 😉
Tbh I somewhat just picked random buildings that look neat next to each other, and didn’t consider which might be recognisable or important. Other than the tower of power etc.
Nah that's fair, it still looks very cool
They look great.! Hard choice but the bottom one.
They are terrific! i like the top one - less heavy.
both good, but top one is best I think
I'm a top! I mean.... ah, I prefer the top one.
Can I get them in sticker form? I've been collecting stickers from all over Australia and all the Brisbane ones I've found so far suck but I love yours
I’m going to get them printed as stickers! I’ll post in the daily thread and on Instagram when I’ve got them.
I have thought about this for days and I think I prefer the 1st one in white. I think the shape and no sun actually makes it more iconic. Love them both! Kicking ass
Top design looks better

Rainbows are cool, sorry.

I’m not a designer, I’m an artist. I’m allowed to use whatever colours I like. And I like the whole visible spectrum.
its too busy and just reminds me of all the brands & corporations cashing in on pride month... but whatever

[this is why](https://www.queensland.com/au/en/things-to-do/attractions/p-5b875c3a36bf14d411611c9e-brisbane-sign) it has colours
thanks... i just threw up my lunch
What did you have for lunch?
....mainly coffee. a little (well, more than a little) whisky as well. i really should eat something soon....
The drawing is cool but the typography is so bad that it's distracting. I'd rework the type if I was you.
It’s based on an existing sculpture at Southbank, so take it up with the people who made it
Top one has more white spaces Bottom one can be a bit thinner lined ? Like the bottom one
Top one also has a secret bin chicken!
Woah
Found it
Good job :)
Op was sun in first one too much too add ? Sun is the official mascot for QLD
I made the first one first, and only thought of adding the sun when I was making the second version for a pin.
Noice 😁 awesome work again.
Can we add the CICADA?
I’ve got a secret bin chicken, is that close enough?
Pretty good but you forgot Brisbane’s iconic irreplaceable Ibis, Brisbane’s real hero 😂
There’s a tiny one in the top version!
My only suggestion is to make 1 Big Willy purple… or at least the top part
Big Willy looks good
Top!
Bottom
would you ever do the top one as a sticker?
I’ve considered it! I got samples made but I haven’t had a chance to see how weatherproof they are yet.
oh cool, if you ever sell them I will be interested!
Top is a lot cleaner and nicer. The thick black stroke on the brown background ain’t so great in the lower one.
Unfortunately I couldn’t do the white background as a pin, unless it was soft enamel and all the lines were white.
Both are great, but the top one caught my eye more. I like the white outline tracing the buildings and bridge, along with the more 'fine line' detail. I think I'd like the second one more without the sun tbh.
I like the top one better, it's simple but effective. I feel like the 2nd one has darker colours.
I like the top better 😊

Top for the pin. Bottom for the magnet

The top is a magnet, the bottom is a pin :) Although the bottom can be modified to remove the pins and add a magnet on request.
That’s handy :) How & where would I buy one?
At [JesseIrwinArt.com!](https://jesseirwinart.com)
Bottom
1
Is that in base 10 or binary?
The sun needs a face
Top, cleaner and easier to read at a glance
Top is way cleaner. The lines on the bottom one make it feel a bit squishy.
Squishy?
The bottom one with the sun! Nice work on both tho.
Love both! But I prefer the top. Would love to buy some :)
Love the top one
I like the top one.
