Shirt Design Ultimatum Thread

[Brad Luyster]

Here are the font and logo selections for the shirt.

The shirt will be available in many sizes and colors.  Last year, people recognized us because we wore so many different colors.

Too keep the shirt cheap and quick to make before Makerfaire, here are the required parameters:

-Single Color

-Single side print

Acceptable quibbling for this thread: Font choice, logo choice, overall design.

If you would like to quibble, please suggest an alternative (which meets the above required parameters).

If not alternate design has received an avalanche of support by Tuesday, I'll get pricing and color info, and let people start ordering.

If anyone wants the SVG for the shirt, let me know.

I'm pretty good at screen printing and have made single color presses. If anyone wants to turn this into a project for the space, I can help. :D

diy screen printing is pretty fun i say go for it    !


  ive been wanting to print a long sleeve tshirt with a circuit printed all artsy an maybe some  traces running down the sleeve so buttons  and or conductive thread could be sewn in later ,  maybe have some traces running down to a place you could install a microcontroler or battery pack , etc,  later

     kinda like convention badges ,  you could sew it all together an add the components an it would have a function an then encourage folks to tinker with the circuit ,.

These will be printed by Kopilot Press or a similar commercial screen printer, since they will bind themselves to stricter deadlines.

[Pat McCarthy]

Of note – the 1 color, multiple tshirt colors has an upside, and a downside

 

If it is 1 color *at a time*, then all is good

However, if it is only 1 color, then the color (White/Black/???) would limit the range of T-Shirt colors

(Unless some of you think White on yellow, or Black on Navy Blue are good combinations)

Do they make conductive plastisol ink? I also have a commercial size iron-on press and a flat stock vacuum platen for printing magnets, signs and etc, but I think my platen is in need of some repair.

Pat, I tried to order Black text on Black T-shirt (like a Black Metal
shirt) last year and they didn't do it! They did that shirt (and only
that one) with white ink.

Ok, so it's two-color, but maybe for something else? 

Also, I know several screen printers, but Priscilla at Kopilot is a perfectionist like I've never seen, I've worked for her. She does good work and does what she says.

I uploaded some random shirt designs. Just an attempt to simplify the concept - one gear, one electrical symbol, an orbiting orb thing.

Thanks for looking,

Tad, I love the 1st gear logo! Do you have that in an Inkscape or svg
format you could send me?

Chris

[Christopher Cprek]

Er... sorry Doug!

[Brad Luyster]

A challenger appears!  These make me look like a thumbless monkey  I like 1, 2 and 7 the best, although I think with the improved design, we can remove the "If you see me running" text, and flip the logos to the front.

[Raj]

You made some fantastic designs!  I'd love a shirt that had the first logo with the wrap-around Fleur-de-lye of number 7.

I agree with Brad; especially 1 and 7.  I'd pick 7 or a variation thereof as my favorite and 1 as a close second.

Good job Haus!

Hello Doug,

I wanted to follow up with you about the gear logo design you made. It
really looks great and I like the simplicity.

Serendipitously, there's a request on a Twitter conversation for a
fleur-de-lis gear logo that Louisville start-ups could use to brand
their stuff. I figured I'd reach out if this is something you'd be
interested letting people use. Thanks!
