I was thinking on getting some T-Shirts made and came up with this logo with an old look to it. the burgundy color would be the shirt itself.

tell me what you think.

Its not very friendly and inviting, a faceless character does not usually appeal.

Its a good idea but the face needs some features and maybe less camera (I'd ditch the canon logo unless you have a release for it). you are selling you not the canon camera that anybody could buy remember.

If you could put a fake reflection of some happy customers/people in the lens that would probably impress a lot of people

Good point on the Canon, as for the face, I used a picture of myself, and I don't really want to walk around with my face on my shirt. that's weird to me, and I rather have my name in transparency in it. I did put a silhouette in the lens and changed my mind on the color of the shirt, I think black is better.

here it is, tell me what you think.

How big were you thinking of screen-printing? it onto the tshirt?

Also like the Karlos said it isn't friendly, I think the bald head has alot to do with that.

Have you thought about placing the camera over the face?

about 12" wide in the back.

I think people will see that it is me with the bald head. I could try with the camera more in the face, I would have to redo the owl thing to find a way so you can still read the text.

here's the original

At first glance, it made me think of Homer Simpson. Not sure why, but it gave me a chuckle when I realized what was going on. I think it might be the shape of the fingers or something.

Neat idea, though.

given that its you, wearing the shirt, I don't think there's an issue with the head/face.

I do think you should only make the text transparent when overlaying it, NOT actually reversing the colour to a black transparency... it breaks it up too much.

I like the first one you've just posted there with the lens as the first o in photo.

I don't like how the image is broken up like it looks like its a really old shirt. I reckon you should go with smooth glossy look and when it starts to crack throw it away and wear a new one.

I don't think the girl refection is a good idea, Like you might get a few negative reactions to that along the lines of "sexist!"

Also do you have a company name called C.D.P by any chance?

Agreed! That looks a lot better!


Think about NOT using the word "retarded" in a derogatory manner - it insults those who cannot defend themselves - and hurts the ones who love them. Please see: http://www.r-word.org/ (external link)
