My humble T-Shirt Design

[Mckarnin]

Not super flashy but effective, I think. I wonder what the best online place for t-shirt printing is...cafe press?

P.S. Any critique or suggestions would be accepted gladly.

Let's see. The patriots dumped tea overboard and you want to call it Libertea. Are you trying to say that we are dumping liberty overboard?

I would hope no one is that dumb to make that mistake. But I agree if you want to use brewing go with one of the slogans being talked about, Brewing a R[evol]ution or A R[evol]ution is Brewing.

Also drop the In America. People will already understand that part so its just wasting space.

I think you should drop the pic or come up with a much smaller graphic, put the slogan bigger at the top because its what will get attention, then put the site big below it like you have, and then put the date below the site the same way you have it now.

That's a good point...perhaps it is the special kinds of tea they drank after the tea party...you know the kind that wasn't overtaxed and was produced by many different growers. :-P You're right though...with this much scrutiny one has to be careful about all potential interpretations.

I like it, I think it's cute.

It's not like there has to be just one official shirt :)

Thanks! You're right. From a distance the words need to be most visible, not a pic.

I'd drop the cutesy spelling of Libertea, and I like dropping the "in America" part too. Just make it "Liberty is Brewing".

We need to get AWAY from the "Revolution" word to appeal to a more mainstream audience... trust me on this, I'm 55. :p "Liberty is Brewing" is a strong message that will resonate with more mainstream voters than the "R" word.

I think people over-scrutinize.

Mckarnin, personally, I LOVE IT, just as it is!

[dfalken]

Good comments freetraveler...we all love the word rEVOLution and it certainly doesn't have to go away but we need to diversify to appeal to more mainstream people. Let's not risk giving the media more ammo to just label us as a bunch of whacky zealots.

Well since the shirt is more straightlaced than edgy...perhaps I should work on a version that just ditches the cutesy Liber"tea" spelling and leave this version as is. I can work on something "edgy" later.

Great idea. In addition to those young, wild, radicals :D that are already supporting Dr. Paul, you have to draw in more of the older generations. While I don't have any problem wearing a "Revolution" shirt, many in my generation would. Everybody can proudly stand up and support Liberty, however!

I removed cheesy Libertea and put the logo on a few things over at cafepress.

Yeah, I guess I had better put it on a couple shirts tommorow...I'll put it up tommorow as my "as seen on TV" Ron Paul logo-ed shirts. :-)
