we as openSUSE Community should and must take our own path, creating our own and awesome t-shirt design.
Absolutely!
Using another distro or project designs would be like we're following and not leading.
Yes, as I said - it's to be inspired by the variety of approach, not to copy.
I like the most simple stuff out of Threadless though.
I agree - some of the stuff is very clumsy and busy. I think simple, even elegant, and uncluttered are useful ideas and fit well with openSUSE. It's possible to be expressive and artistic within that - it doesn't have to be stiff and boring. When combining inspiration or concepts, I feel it's important that they gel successfully and you don't have unrelated images just pushed together, or too many design elements competing for attention.
For the OSC, or "general purpose" t-shirt?
I guess the OSC designs wouldn't translate well to a general-purpose shirt as the skyline is rather place-specific. (on the other hand, I have an Edelrid shirt that has "Made in Germany" stamped across it, which I rather like...) But perhaps the design elements could work, adapted - the heavier logo to one side, a lightweight linear design across with alternative logo/text to anchor the other side. Is there any reason that a print-to-order shop like Cafe Press or Zazzle is unsuitable? I've never used these, but it seems to be a good way to offer a choice of designs. (I guess this has probably been discussed in the past... apologies for my extreme noobiness today!) best, Helen -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-artwork+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-artwork+help@opensuse.org
