Ideas for t-shirt designs?
We consider to design a few new t-shirts to go on sale next spring. We want to use Spreadshirt this time, especially its superior flex printing technology looks interesting. This means, however, that each design mustn’t consist of more than three different colors (one or two colors are cheaper).
Does anybody have any wishes or ideas for t-shirt designs?
Ah! T-shirts! That’s so cool!
I think a simple three color design of Woo would be cool. 😀 He could be holding food or something too, but you’d have to figure out a food that has the same colors as Woo. 😛

A t-shirt with just the character(s) on it won’t sell. This has been proven again and again by countless other webcomics.
I would definitely love to see a T-shirt of Lys in her usual bad gurl attitude, maybe even setting something on fire!
Maybe it could say something like “Not your average Web Comic shirt.”
I think something sassy or snarky that depicts Lys would do really well.
You could come up with a funny single-panel comic, maybe with a small box showing the URL below it(if you want to do advertising too).

Well….?
I’d have to say a pic of Woo hanging upside down from a shoulder with some sort of snarky raccoon fact or quote would be cool.
Maybe one of Larissa burning something.
I think the one comic you had with all the animals in the tree with her staring up at it and telling them they would come to appreciate math of sorts would be a good one if you haven’t used it yet. And it can stay gray scale.
. 3.
You could do one where it shows the final panel in Rebel Heart (comic 0155) with the “I’ve always been a rebel.” caption underneath, i would buy that.
ah, Spreadshirt. i ordered a t-shirt from them once and it was a great quality indeed.
for your comic black, white and gray on a t-shirt would look just fine i think
Woo and sandra sitting next to each other sleeping under a tree
or DAT KISS from the one panel, but I dunno how many would buy it :p

oh and it should be in FULL BEAUTIFUL COLOR cause color is awesome, but it should be really soothing colors, not flashy 😮
Woo eat tweedy bird, that should be a tshirt.
The entire four panel with the ‘sell my soul for an ice-cold lemonade’ bit. Would even be better with a picture of Woo on the back laughing and holding the pitcher.
In this three-color limit, does black count as a color? (or white, if the Tshirt color is black?)
As for ideas, maybe panel 3 of Girlfriend (drawn from a different angle to make it clear Larissa is holding a stereo), definitely Moonlight Sonata (probably redone with newspaper-like stippling; might post more on this later), and any panel of Shark jumped the woo. Maybe also the one with Sandra racing with Woo in a shopping cart and Let’s go exploring.
Personally, I like funny T-shirts, but if I have to choose between a funny T-shirt and one that’s not funny, but can be understood by someone who doesn’t know the refrence, I’ll take the latter.
@ Kavukamari: I think that was the first T-shirt put up for sale (see the image on the left?) It didn’t do so well. Though now that we have more readers, if we can proove enough people are interested, it might be worth it.
@ tweedy bird: This one was also tried as a T-shirt. I think it was the one which most people said they would buy. No idea how it actually fared, though.
Huh. My comment’s awaiting moderation.
A couple more ideas: Sunset and Freedom, Justice, Cookies! (the actual strip, mind you. The “logo” version looks to serious without the children behind it)
*“to” should be “too”. Sorry for any confusion
Woo on the front running away with a cookie; Sandra/Sandra’s dad on the back chasing him?
this would personaly interest me to see cloud and sandra walking around but lys not be very far behind with her devil face on
another idea is shadow getting a girl but then for some random reason she sees cid and instantly falling in love with him and cid saying “payback hahaha”
Also, panel 3 of Eating out
@ deady233: Shadow is a family man
“Freedom! Justice! Cookies!” really is a pretty cool idea for a shirt. It’d stand a good chance of attracting attention from people who haven’t already heard of the comic, since EVERYBODY likes cookies!
I actually really like the idea of a “Woo will watch the watchmen” T-shirt 😀
@Kavukamari: Maybe put the entire comic on the back of the t-shirt, and have a picture of Woo on the front? I’m thinking maybe put the words “Happy endings are overrated” on the front, beneath Woo’s picture.
Larisa and a flame thrower.
Instant-success
I’d buy something with Cloud on it. Maybe him using his sword, or with Sandra.
How ’bout a “coon tools” one. That’d be nice in color, or a scrapbook style in sepia tones.
My comment’s still awaiting moderation. Pitty too, it had some good ideas.

Finally found it. Your comment was in the “Pending” folder instead of the “SPAM” folder.
A pop-arty styled Cloud as Hit-boy? With a funny slogan.
Would accommodate minimal colours and look awesome, I think.
