both the logo and font were chosen before i was in the band.

its a very simple logo. we can slap it on anything. very striking.

ive designed logos for people around here before. they were much more involved.

just like bass, where sometimes you have to pull punches and sit in the pocket, i have to say a lot with a little and not go over the top.

You can spend all day going through fonts, yours looks good, not too plain, not too flashy where it's hard to read.

There's a lot that figures into a logo, fonts, images, if it fits the feel you're trying to get across, will it hold up overtime and not look dated...ect

Nice! We're trying to find a place to get a decent deal on shirts around here.
By the way, here's our logo.............

I made my own shirts.

Can't get cheaper than that.

I dig your logo, although if you want to save on shirts, figure out a way to make it one or two color. Yours has 5 colors and that would drive the price up.

How'd you go about making your own shirts? I was already figuring on having to drop the blue and yellow parts of the background for other stuff (this is how our banners look).

I've done t-shirts in the past although just one color. I recently built a 4-color press, and make the art and screens myself. If you look around on the net there are lots of sites describing the process.

I use water based ink instead of plastisol because the plastisol needs a flash dryer to cure. I order the shirts wholesale and get them for around $1.77 ea for good 6.1 oz cotton shirts.

All in all it's not a mysterious process if you are somewhat handy. I just ran my second batch of 50 shirts yesterday, took about an hour.

The first batch I basically gave away, they're great to get girls dancing, "first people dancing get a shirt". Kind of goofy for a cover band to have t-shirts but it sets us apart from the other cover bands that don't have them - lol

I'll probably sell them for $5.

The nice thing about doing them yourself is that you don't need to order tons to get the volume pricing.

You should be able to do you logo in just black without a fancy press and have it look pretty cool. If you wanted, run different color shirts.

You'd just need to build a platen to hold the shirt and hinge the screen at the back to hold it. That's how I did my first shirts for years.

Oh, here's plans for an easy one-color press; http://www.screen-printing-t-shirts....ess-plans.html
