I like the vector graphics, as I feel it's a good representation of the "consumerist" side of Oddworld. Typically, detailed graphics with a large color palette look shite on a t-shirt, and are expensive as hell to print.

There should be a shirt with a cat smoking a cigarette. The caption reads "Cats don't smoke cigarettes". That's my input.

I quite like the idea of trying to ground Oddworld products with modern Earth-style advertising, but I think it would be better to focus on some of the weirder products like Soulstorm Brew if we're to get the right balance.

This, pretty much.



Also, I hope you find a company that doesn't ridiculously overcharge for both the shirts and postage. That will probably mean taking it out of the UK.

Here's an example. There is a contingent of weirdos in this country that think wolf-themed garb is the best damn thing since sliced bread. They are a scourge on the fashion world, and an insult to everyone who makes an effort to be at least competently dressed.

Admittedly, I have a few shirts that violate the simplicity rule. A shirt of Freddy Krueger, a promotional Dead Space 2 tee featuring Isaac warding off a horde of Necromorphs, and this Ghosbusters shirt. But in the end, I think vector art with simple colors is the more sensible choice, and it's not as if there's a shortage of wonderful, streamlined logos in the OW universe to choose from.

I want one with a picture of Abe on the front, doing the usual "I dunno" pose, and another on the back with Shrykull fucking shit up.

Out of curiousity, what would say "Oddworld" to you?
Pretty much the following:

:
Abe, Scrabs, Paramites...Rupture Farms logos? you get the picture.
For example the Sekto Springs t-shirt - While I agree that simplicity is the key to good t-shirt print design, its incredibly... Generic and apart from the text, doesn't seem to have much to do with Oddworld as I said earlier. The New Yolk shirt is better 'cause it actually features a picture of a Clakker but still seems to lack something.

Anyone remember these? Even though they're posters, they're simple and say "Oddworld" to me. I'd love to see simplified (without the shading) versions of those as t-shirt designs, maybe. EDIT: Or if not, t-shirt designs based on this style.

I'd like to see some native rock art and some industrial marketing material.

Yeah, the posters in AO for example. They're nice and simple... So is the Rupture Farms logo. Studying them carefully for my Minecraft project made me appreciate their design a bit more... Who made them anyway though?

Sorry, it's late and I can't be bothered to crawl across the 'net to find better images. I linked to these for convenience.

I totally agree with you on this one. Native rock art could be amazing.

Yes, the RF logo could work, but I think the product posters would be a bit too heavy for a tshirt.

Definitely. I would feel stupid as hell walking around with that. It's like those really egregious, loud Mickey Mouse shirts that people from trailer parks wear.

This is common misconception. They aren't actually Mickey Mouse shirts. It's just the sweat from their massive, flappy bosoms accumulates and creates a Mickey Mouse-shaped stain.
