I would echo the previous comments about the log (making it green on a white background). Other than that, this is pretty much perfect (esp now that the corp members seem to have free reign to redesign their outfits).

Love it. Only suggestion would be to have a little cut-out section at the bottom of the vest, kind of mirroring the top part. Not sure why – I’m sure there’s no practical equivelent in a real flak jacket.

[...] Personally, I wouldn’t mind if they updated his costume, because his current one is too reflective of the 80’s era in which it spawned, and, you know, that was twenty years ago. [Edit:] This recent redesign at Project Rooftop is pretty nifty and I certainly wouldn’t mind seeing it in the books. (Thanks for reminding me about it, chdb). [...]

I’m curious as to how this would look if it was a more everyday vest instead of bulky armor. Guy’s cocky enough that even in heavy action he wouldn’t feel the need to wear armor, especially since most things superheroes face are likely to get past it and it’d slow him down.

I wouldn’t bring back the white piping though.

I’m pretty sure this redesign DOES include an update to Guy’s vest. ;)

One thing I noticed through most of his costume incarnations is that Guy likes big collars. Perhaps once in a while he could wear a good old-fashioned leather motorcycle jacket (off-duty, of course) to reflect that.

Green Lantern is my favorite comic book character and the Corps is a big part of that. I’m not sure why but, though I really like the illustration, the costume design does nothing for me. While dated and even a bit silly, the classic Gardner costume is quite distinct. This design is little different from the standard/traditional uniform of the Green Lanterns mixed with simplied SWAT clothes. A vest/jacket was always a major element of Guy’s get-up, so I think it would’ve been cool to include some kind of update of that as part of the design. Still, a very nice drawing.

Maybe it automatically shifts in translation depending on the planet he’s helping out on! Hehe.

I like the GLC-2814 idea, but it raises some alien language problems.
