agree. nothing striking nor inspiring. it’s a throwback to the 80s-90s environmental movement. i’m looking for something that’s “green” but looks to the future…i am the root of the solution is similar to the 90s ‘rooting for the future’.. i must be getting old!

ok, so how about a design that mixes timeless environmental design with an inkling of the future’s green design?

Where would ‘inhabitat.com’ appear on these shirts ?

With changes, I think ‘Green = Good’, or ‘Green T-shirt with Vine design’ could work.

As far as ‘Green = Good’ is concerned, the changes are: (1) remove the top three big curve branches with the butterflies and bird on them. Keep the bottom 3 branches, with the stuff ‘inside’ the 3rd branch. (2) remove all bleed over printing onto the sleeve, (3) Remove ‘Green = Good’. (Who thinks green is bad ?) If something ‘Green’ must be said: ‘Green Design = Good Design’ could be considered (4) change ‘inhabitat’ to ‘inhabitat.com’ (4) Do not print this on a white shirt only. Offer it as a green on brown, or pale flourescent green on a black shirt as well. A lot of pople do not want to wear white T-shirts.

As far as ‘Green T-shirt with Vine design’, changes could be: (1) change out ‘inhabitat’ to ‘inhabitat.com’, (2) move entire design from left margin to right margin, ‘reversing’ the vines… so that the vine graphic flows left.

General: consider using the http://www.cafepress.com system to manufacture and sell your shirts. There would be no advance printing costs that way.

Good luck.
