#2 with #1 as second. don't like #3 at all

#4 looks pretty cool.

But seriously. If you want to wear a shirt that only says tasty across the front of it... you're gay. I'd say #1 with the "tastyspleen.net" logo from the back of #2 across the top of the back of #1.

Shut uuuuuuuuuupp!!!

Switched it up a little....

Thinking instead of separating the tasty and spleen, why not have them wrap around to the back?

If you're going to put the word "spleen" anywhere, it should be here:

I had an idea a while back about wrapping the url and a tagling/motto along the bottom with a quad logo akin to the tastycast blazoned across the shoulder in a fillagree incorporating what looks like railtrails and nadetrails dropping down from it.

Something like this...

First off, my apologies for the late response but i wanted to give everyone time to vote and/or chime in on the likes/dislikes of the current designs.

Im not an expert at this kind of thing by any means, this was my 1st attempt at doing some designs for a tshirt. It was alot of fun, altho sometimes quite frustrating

But im also totally open to everyones ideas. If say, we preferred to open this to the community and get a bunch of design submissions that'd be great too! I just want to get a tshirt going that everyone is really excited about.

If we want to go this route, there are a few things to keep in mind. I would like to keep these as vector graphics so they can be screen printed. The more colors you incorporate in your design the more expensive it gets. Because of this, a max of 2-3 colors should be used in the entire design (front and back). Also, it gets really expensive once you get into "wrap around" graphics (graphics that go around the entire shirt) or graphics that go over the seams on a shirt. So this should be avoided. If you have some ideas, but are unable to get over the hurdle of doing it in a vector program, im open to you getting a working design going & I can clean it up in illustrator.

As it stands right now, the #1 choice would win. I will either order approx 30 tshirts, get them shipped to my house and then ship them out to everyone that wanted to purchase one, or possibly use a web service like spreadshirt and open a web shop where the shirt could be purchased.

Thoughts?

Actually I don't think that this part is legal. I know that it is perfectly fine to produce your own fan made items as fair use and send them out "free" (charging only for the shipping and cost of materials). Opening up a webshop using the quake logo is a different story altogether. Even if you sell them at cost, a service like cafe press would still be capitalizing without owning the rights.

I think that that instance is flirting with legality issues. Also with id currently being owned by Zenimax, we are not dealing with a indy developer alone. John Carmack and crew may be perfectly fine with it, but Zenimax is the giant nameless, faceless, common sense eating organization that may object.

I'm sure there are ways around it. Just wanted to be the first "internet law expert" (read: totally ignorant forum poster) to bring it up.

Ahhhh gotcha

I'll see if I can tinker around and come up with some good ideas that I'll send you via PM. It's a great idea. Gives everyone a chance to get a little piece of TS.

#1 all the way, stylish and simple. Gets the name across quickly while looking good doing it and without confusing any one not familiar with us.
