Title: New Imperial Shipyards T-Shirt Design
Post by: Viper Aviator on July 20, 2011, 07:24:07 PM

Hello All,

I've been in touch with Tamer with regards to designing a new version of the Imperial Shipyards t-shirt, I thought that I would give this one a more "in universe" feel to it by incorporating fonts that would seem right at home in the Star Wars universe as well as Aurebesh. Also I added the website address and the motto we strive to excel to the front logo. Please let me and Tamer know what you think of version 2.

Looks pretty daggone sweet to me. I already uploaded it to the tshirt place I use and got this front and back version.

I am ordering one right now so I can see how it turns out and I will video it before we decide if a bulk order is worthwhile. I don't see why it wouldn't be, but its better to be safe than sorry. The design looks fantastic Cal.

Don't worry, they always have wierd sales where they go lower. Thats how I got the deal on the black ones when I spent over 34 dollars for the first one I ordered. Its just a matter of time. When I do announce it though folks, be ready because as you saw the window will be short to get in on it.

I wonder if I know any t-shirt printers...  Actually, I think I might be cousins with someone who is!  I'll do some asking and see what's what.

The biggest thing is most want you to have a minimum order. If you can get around that you are usually fine. A minimum order can be like fifty shirts or so though. I have a local place too so I will check around a bit too.

Thanks for all of the very nice compliments on the design, they are really appreciated.

Along those lines, I made some "special modifications" (pardon the pun) to the original design. Nothing radical, just some color and outline detail that I thinks really brings the design together and "marries" the front and back of the shirt.

Oh yeah, looking good. I think its time this hit the front page. If I can get my dial up internet to load it.

Folks, on that note, my front page postings are gonna go way down for at least a month or so. Wildblue didn't like my uploading this past week.

LOL. My staff are all volunteers and have full time working jobs Doc. Each of them already has a specific area they are in charge of, but they do help me out when I need it.

It's teh Empire, it's slave labor  ;D

Anyhow the shirt design is fantastic. Once the price point is set I am sure they will be very popular
