UPDATED: New War Stationery twist

UPDATED:
I just did a search for my ingenious phrase, "peace is war," and found out I wasn't the first smarty to think of it. darn that stinks.

See, my previous design used the army slogan, "be all that you can be," this was okay, because my stationery design is sort of a social commentary, so it's all clear on the copyright front. However, "peace is war" is a social commentary already, and I'm not commenting on that. so, I guess I'm stuck with my original. oh well, it was fun being happily naive while it lasted.


original post as follows:
-------

Last night, while sleeping I thought of this great idea- "peace is war," I promptly scribbled it on my hand in my semi awake state to recall it this morning.

so now I need to know, which is better? "be all that you can be," or "peace is war?" I haven't worked out all the design kinks on the new one, so just focus on the slogan if you could.

which one!?!?!?!?

please let me know what you think in the comments

I think I prefer the 1st one

i don't like the bomb on the end of the stub leg. i think it presumes the viewer a little bit dumb in that it hyper draws your attention to the fact that she's got a stub leg when its already incredibly obvious. there's a lack of balance with the bomb there. so unless you are hooked on that bomb therei'd scratch it or but it somewhere on her arm or ssomething where you only need to sshow half of it. as for one or the other...i like the "be all you can be" one

or maybe its okay if the tat is on the stump, but atleats make it off center like to the far left, like its curving around the side of the leg or something

It's not about informing the viewer though, it's her own perverse issue, she did it on purpose. perhaps you have a point about the center placement though.
