So I finally got the shirt in. My initial impressions below.

My initial thoughts:
  • Almost tempted to get rid of the .com on the front, to make the Junkies logo larger.
  • The front logo looks ok. The back is a little fuzzy, but it's not too bad actually.
  • I think the year on the sleeve should just go. I know we used to do this. However so far I haven't quite matched the font, so it almost just looks out of place.
  • I ordered this in the Bella Canvas, which are soft, and have the worst tags ever. However I'm now thinking just regular heavy weight name brand cotton shirts would be fine, and I believe are slightly cheaper?

I'm actually talking with a graphics artist / graphic designer about this right now. I think I've found someone for this.

*Edit, I've got some initial sketches, The artwork is looking really good (IMHO).

Ok I'm finalizing all this now. I've been working with an artist and have given final approval on the sketches I was sent (so I should be receiving colored ones here soon). The plan going forward would be for the shirts to be different every year. I'll have the art work though, so we could re-use, or print new ones. To give you an idea:

The back artwork:

The front artwork:

I also had them do a 2025 to match, so the sleeve would be the same.
  • I've ordered a test batch of T-shirts. We need to verify how the graphics look once printed, how they wash, shirt quality, etc.
  • Everyone should be able to place their own orders in January.

Make sure you read the previous post.

I have placed order for a test batch of shirts.

This is the artist's rendition of the shirt with the artwork in yellow just to give you an idea.

I adjusted the position of the artwork a bit on the ones I ordered.

Update:

Order shirts here.

Use that thread going forward.
