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!) We have that - http://shop.opensuse.org/ But we don't treat it well. That means we created the stuff 1 or 2 years ago and never touched it again :-(
Question (just plain curiosity), is it SEO optimized ? nelson
