So I was checking out the picture I made and thought, "Something doesn't
look right..." Turns out that when I saved it in .jpg format the
compression fuzzed it and made it darker. So I resaved it and reloaded it
on to my web page in .gif format (the original is a 4.5MB .bmp file, and
I'm not that cruel :)

So,

David B's Shadowrun "S" design with 0s and 1s

http://www.geocities.com/TimesSquare/1068/t-shirta.gif

David B's Shadowrun "S" design with SHADOWRN@*********.ORG

http://www.geocities.com/TimesSquare/1068/t-shirtb.gif

Sorry for any inconvenience.

I like these. They're clean looking, they have a "computer" feel with the
letters, and I'm not opposed to neon green. The only thing is -- where do
the Names go?

How about having the back logo being smaller, in say the top right hand
corner of back, the URL and name of the list to the left in biggish type,
and underneath that the names?

I think this is the best one yet. I like Dvixens design, but I dislike the
font. Mongooses design is good except having some of the names upside down
would be a pain..

I think he said that he just threw some names on the design. He didn't spend
any time rotating them correctly. (Probably the worst that would happen is
someone's name would be vertical).

I don't really like the lined looked of the shadowrun@*********.org ...
It looks staticy or streaked. Close-up it looks okay but from afar it
doesn't look too good. :/

A minor problem easily solved is you just stagger the text.

This is very good, but the fact that it's all directly vertically aligned
causes weird 'stripes' in the image (when seen from a distance) where the
.s go. I would suggest staggering the text to avoid this.

*nod* I def. like the binary one. :) The regularity of the
shadowRN@*********.org makes it a bit, off, staggering like was suggested
is a good idea, but I'm still very partial to the binary. :)

Make the 'S' lighter and superimpose the names on top, perhaps? *grin*

Me too. *smirk* But I haven't finished going through my 1500 ish fonts to
find a better one. ;) If someone has the perfect, Tell me!!!!! I'm amazed
how many good ones I don't have! (I'm positive so far that I have only
cruddy fonts....)

I envisioned the "S" 0&1s design going on the front of the shirt by it's
lonesome, and the names and list info on the back of the shirt (like last
year's by Mongoose).

Well, easy said, but it takes a little while to do :)

Because of the "."s it's not as smooth of the 0&1s piece. But I figured
I'd toss it up anyway just in case I'm in the minority :)

I also liked the "S" 01001 design the best so far (in fact, it makes a nice
desktop wallpaper :)

How about keeping the front blank except for the binary S in the upper right
corner with just ShadowRN@*********.org underneath and what ever design on
the back with the names?

Peace,
