Justin, don''t ever let artist do this to you! You are *third party* in thi=
s
setup, and as such have a right to DEMAND a certain format for the
submission. Another words:
NOT to do: "ask if I please could do so, and so"
TO DO: "provide acceptable specifications and expect those to be followed t=
o
the dot"
Please let me know what the acceptable specks are, and I will give the file=
s
to you the way they are supposed to be given.
Thanks.

outline part of the design is unnecessary as Spreadshirt has you place the designs in \
on their template. So basically I just need the logo parts. I am not much good \

go through for vector formats. The front side of your first design has already been \
uploaded and approved by Spreadshirt as being a valid SVG or whatever. Still \
waiting on the back. <br>
<br>For your second design I had a question. Spreadshirt allows a max of 3 colors \
