I worked on my original design a little harder based on what Will Stephenson suggested. Check it out http://img62.imageshack.us/i/opensusetshirt.png/ Andy On Fri, Aug 27, 2010 at 9:18 AM, S.Kemter wrote:

Hello,

worked a little bit on the graffiti styled short motives. Added the light green drops to the third motive, worked to bring mor geekos on it. Added the lightshines and red drops to the "writer geeko" motiv and made the bubble background new, also added some geekos to it. Experimented with the "I love linux in green" motiv to have more geekos on it.

here is the result

I worked some more on the shirt and realized that the puzzle idea got complicated visually very fast. It was not the greatest unless it was kept simple. I decided to change the pace and created a splat with the logos on top of it. I used warmer colors and I think that this logo can be used for a number of shirts, despite the color. it could be white, black, or grey and it'll still look good. I hope you all like it. BTW: I really don't like the design made with the graffiti letters. They are confusing, you wouldn't look really normal if you wore them. It's the kind of font that you see on walls by the freeway, not on shirts. It is just not cutting it for me. http://img163.imageshack.us/f/g5949.png/ Enjoy, and if you decide on something else, please don't pick the graffiti ones.

Check out the Ubuntu shop - I'd love a Suse shirt like the women's lynx Tshirt, with the logo down on the side. The design is loose and expressive. Logos that run down one side of a shirt, from the shoulder, along the hem or pocket, or that look like they are an integrated design in the fabric (not stuck on the front by a screenprinter) look interesting.

And see threadless.com for many innovative t-shirt layouts.

Also, think about how much information is on there - there doesn't need to be a lot. You don't have to spell everything out in black-and-white.

I was thinking the same too.

The city skyline is great but with the straight text underneath, it looks unbalanced - because it all goes gradually upwards, it seems as if it's on a slope. What about doing the skyline and swinging the line down and continuing with the same line around a Chameleon - a unified, connected design, as suggested earlier. It would look great done to look like a relaxed ink line, pencil or even stitching.

I like the way the perspective explodes out of the design on the left side of Javier's 4th concept, drawing the eye into it (This fedora wallpaper does the same thing and I think I've seen something similar in mobile phone ads over the last couple of years: http://blogs.fedoraproject.org/wp/kybaker/2010/07/28/fedora-14-alpha- wallpaper/).

If you meant this one http://www.javierllorente.com/tmp/tshirt4.png I agree, I like this design very much (the lopsided skylike I was referring to were these http://www.javierllorente.com/tmp/tshirt.png - the layout of the text and shape of skyline combine to give an odd visual effect. Probably a small matter of ajusting the layout a little.r With the 4th design, I think it's very strong and interesting. I like the simple linear effect and dynamic, slightly abstract style of drawing. I'd get rid of the big text underneath, and maybe draw the lizard logo with the same linear line as the rest (maybe with a transparent paint-splash of green underneath?) so it has more unity and doesn't jump out too much. Maybe not using the jigsaw shape (unless this is necessary and desired logo at the moment). regards, Helen -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-artwork+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-artwork+help@opensuse.org
