well I wouldn't want it taken so far where our friends create their own designs. The logo/artwork is exclusive and I would like to maintain exclusivity on it, for as long as we can run this site.

It's just a personal thing that's all. I'd like to maintain a degree of direction and control on designs / quality assurance etc. and having independent designs goes beyond the scope of what I hope to maintain. This is the very reason I never allowed the last batch of T-Shirts to be released into the wild.

I know the T-Shirts have been extremely delayed but please bear with us, we hope to get a new/fresh batch released.

Re: t shirts!

^^ I understand... you're trying to maintain a branded image!

Well, are you atleast going to be able to give us the chance to possibly design something and we could vote on it?

Kind of like what we did 5 or 6 years ago, when this site was launched.

Damn ... I've always wanted to talk about my artistic control and integrity etc. !!

Assume you are copyrighted to the max and have [ms] image rights Kamal ... I don't want those industrious chinese chappies knocking up fakes and selling them on e-bay

... and of course you & TomTom have every right to control how [ms] is represented Kamal - can't wait to see what you've got up your sleeve

digital print! i doubt that its a screen print as the cost would be high for a small run of t-shirts.

Re: t shirts!

I can imagine these t-shirts will be some kinda awesome.. the all [ms] artwork incl. flyers etc have been top notch.

Re: t shirts!

^^ Pretty slick! Some of the designs they have on their site look pretty detailed.

Re: t shirts!

the YouTube demo looks like Emulsion Die-cut Heat Transfer system which can produce a quality print depending on the design BUT it does have limitations (i.e. gradients don't image well) as you can see in the demo, it was a solid design. Also, heat transfer degrade and crack through time which many designers like that effect.

I have a shirt from my junior year in high school (12 years ago) that was made for my Lacrosse team (been washed 100's of times). I wore it to the gym today and noticed there were no cracks at all in the design / logo etc, which is about 3/4's the size of the front of the shirt...It fits great too. Point is, inexpensive shirt-making is not a new technological phenomenon.

Re: t shirts!

I'll be taking mine to the tailor and having it made into an off the shoulder number.
