I love the idea. Personally, I'd move the text elsewhere - I think the text on the logo makes for an overly busy design. <div><br></div><div>We could simplify it thus:</div><div><br></div><div>Keep the Superman logo with the $_ on the front - that's great.</div>
<div><br></div><div>Delete all the text from that logo.</div><div><br></div><div>Just below the neck on the back of the shirt, write "<a href="http://pdx.pm">pdx.pm</a>" in 1.25" - 1.5" tall letters. Test; see what looks good.</div>
<meta charset="utf-8"><div><br></div><div>The word "Portland" is superfluous, that's covered by "pdx". The word "Perl Mongers" is superfluous too because geeks already know about $_. If they don't, they'll ask questions, which will start conversations, and that's a good thing. Not everything needs to be explained. The little bit of mystery here ("What's <a href="http://pdx.pm">pdx.pm</a>?") is a good thing that you *want* people to ask. </div>

<br>
Here is the design for the 2010 <a href="http://pdx.pm" target="_blank">pdx.pm</a> t-shirt:<br>
<br>
<a href="http://scratchcomputing.com/tmp/it-sample.png" target="_blank">http://scratchcomputing.com/tmp/it-sample.png</a><br>
<br>
That's black ink and white ink. Here it is printed on a laser printer<br>
and taped to a shirt:<br>

<a href="http://scratchcomputing.com/tmp/2010-shirt.mockup.png" target="_blank">http://scratchcomputing.com/tmp/2010-shirt.mockup.png</a><br>
<br>
(Ignore the silver part: that area will be shirt color -- the flash hits<br>
paper/cloth differently.)<br>
<br>
Please let me know your love/hate it thoughts (off-list, irc, whatever)<br>
and I'll hopefully talk to the printer tomorrow to figure out the<br>
pricing, color options, etc.<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>
Eric<br>
