Thanks for all the comments...

Yes, I agree the colors are fairly ugly. It was intentional, but I can see now (after looking at it after a full day) how ugly it actually is

I'm thinking of putting it on a navy blue shirt, so i thought i'd draw more emphasis to the actual design by doing this:

Dunno if I like this more than before...sorta liked the ugliness

Binke: Where the hell is that email - we need to do some group drawings...

Thanks again.

Really cool concept, although I think maybe some of the communication gets lost in the icons. Maybe show the same pink and blue pixels in each frame...like in one, the blue looks larger than the pink, and in the other, they're the same size. Just one more little thing that might confuse.

The version with the outlines is a bit clearer, but doesn't look as nice, especially on the logo, those outlines will give you print problems later on, so if you want to outline type in illustrator, copy the type and paste it behind, and give that pasted text a stroke, so the stroke shows up outside instead of inside the initial lettering.

Also, this shirt looks like a 5 colour job (becuase white is usually silkscreened onto shirts) so this shirt could cost you a pretty penny (here it would cost about 90 bucks).

Again, great concept, I really think you could go far with this, I just think perhaps the execution and storytelling could be worked on a bit, so that's my critique.
Good luck, and keep it up!

Well, really bored today, so I threw some time into making this little thing, just to test out the process of getting a shirt design published in this area, and also just to wear

Pretty simple, but I had to count the number of pixels in the bottom logo when imported into PS for the shirt to have any meaning. Ick.

Comments/suggestions?

Stick with the ugly colors .. its better than the white background.
