Satanic goats/bulls are ALWAYS awesome.  \m/

In amongst all the side-splitting banter, I've completely lost track of what's going on, which design will be used, how to join in (and pay, natch), how to state that I'd go for a large, not XL.  My body, formerly a warehouse, is a temple now, see.

Don't worry TTony is in charge. 

He will let you know once things are decided.

The design is more-or-less decided.

I'm going to get some quotes so we'll know what prices to charge.  I'm aiming for a max of £15, hopefully a little less if we can get reasonable quality t-shirts for a decent price, or if the order volume is higher than I'm expecting.

You'll be able to choose your own size rather than a one-size-fits-none approach.  And a size for your wife and kids and dogs.  And an extra size for when you're a different size.  Ideal Christmas present.

I'll set-up a new discussion showing the design and asking for firm orders.  When you order, you choose your size and pay via PayPal.

When we know that have enough orders-with-payment (rather than just, "oh yes, I'll have one"), I'll place the order.

If we don't get enough orders after, say 1 week, all payments will be refunded and we'll cancel the idea.  Given all the chat on this discussion, I really don't expect that to happen.

It'll likely be a limited run, say 51 (more if we get more orders-with-payment) t-shirts, with a unique strapline to commemorate the grand opening of our new home.  I'll probably over-order a few, but I really don't want a garage full of boxes of unsold t-shirts.

We may do other t-shirts, or even other stuff, in future, but with not with the same strapline.  This will be a one-off opportunity ...

Don't forget to factor in postage...

He needs his own design T-shirt, he is after all special.

A pelican bib would be more suitable.

Not entirely sure where we are on this one any more. I was just kicking out some ideas. I realise that quite a few folks are not really that happy with them and that's fine. The "pick smileys" seems a very popular idea but wouldn't work so well without the colours IMO. Everything I've done has been based on something that would work in a single colour, which is obviously less dramatic. 

Remember that a logo needn't be a staggering work of art. I did one for the Acoustic Guitar Forum a few years back and of all the fancy designs I submitted, the owner went with the starkest and simplest of the lot. No soundhole rosettes, no tuners, no goats nothing but a bit of nicely arranged Helvetica in the forum colours (sorry, colors). 

Here's what it looks like on the Cafe Press stuff: http://www.cafepress.com/acousticguitarforum

A couple more ideas then I'm turning in for the night. If plectrums are popular, we could use that basic shape, rather than a roundel: 

That's very cool.

 

I wonder if something with the original skull and crossbones logo could work with a plectrum as the skull. 

I know TT said the design is mostly agreed, but I have to say I really like this.  Simple, bold, clear.  Loverly.

Just not black !

Myranda

But if not black then what?!

Is there another colour for musos to wear?!

chillidoggy

Apparently back makes you look slimmer. I wear a lot of black clothes.

Sporky

Grey. Sleek. Classy.

Hides stains.

Bertie wants  80's fluorescent pink.......>:D<

I like black, for the same reason as Chilli 

 

Myranda

Isn't grey just a faded black t-shirt? 

snakemanStoo

Or a very grubby white one?

mike_l

No, it's white which is grubby, and over-worn

bertie

Id rather wear pink than stereotype muso boring black,   if they do end up being black, I quite honestly dont want one
