Frankly, I only like the in progress ones A BIT, the other stuff is cool but I 
don't think it really fits on a t-shirt. Then again, when it comes to t-shirt 
I'm more for things which convey meaning in a very simple way. As I mailed 
before, the Gnome Love t-shirt is amazingly well thought out and implemented 
(gnome love = the one showing a foot, a + sign, a computer, an = sign and a 
heart).

Such basic ideas convey a powerful feeling - we need at least *some* of those. 
Pretty pictures - nice, but they rarely look good on t-shirts...

So I'm all for pictographic stuff - monochrome, 1 color. Our artists seem to 
like their colorful screens a bit too much ;-)

I only have gnomy examples cuz I wouldn't know where else to look:

Hehe and I found this on threadless. darn cool t-shirts there:

but that's contrary to what I was just preaching so forget it right away plz 
;-)


Back to being serious, I think the designs we've seen are cool but not really 
for on t-shirts. I'm no artist, nor very creative, so I'm afraid I can't help 
- only be critical, sorry about that...

Yes, we should do that.
