As you may know, after several frustrating weeks of t-shirt design
trying to copy Teachdaires armored vest design, I gave up on doing the
celtic knot it has at its center.
Yesterday, I was playing Earth Dawn. I was gazing distractedly at the
book cover, and suddenly I yelled "NO WAY", and ran to the SR
bookshelf, ED rulebook in hand. Sure enough, the Celtic knot on T-D's
shirt is the very same as the one in the center of the ED logo. I'll be
fragged! Those sneaky little artists! (Anybody think I should re-do
the shirts with this just because of this bizarre discovery? It might
be a copyright / TM violation to use it that way, actually, so I'm glad
I did not, in a way.)

There's also a pic of someone wearing a shirt with that logo in it in one
other book that I've seen. <flipping through the pile of books on his desk..>

Same picture in both books- recycled art- the one in Prime Runnersis
much larger, and not faded / covered with a chart.

I like the your t-shirt design the way it is. It's.. "unique" :) Put
the ED note in there and.. well, I don't know quite how to express it.
