Serious Toys /MINI T-Shirts

Not quite sure if this is where this thread should be... But here goes nothing...

I have designed a **** to be printed through the company Serious Toys (check out Serioustoys.net) the shirt is a mix of the MINI emblem and the DSC light along w our beautiful cars... before i go to print im tryin to gauge how popular this would be... so if anyone has any interest at all just post or pm me... thanks

Glenn

this is the first design...




or simply this on the back of a **** w the outline smaller on the front...



Id really appreciate as much feedback as your willing to through at me haha... i can take criticism as well thanks in advance...

I like the DCS/MINI hybrid logo. Very nice.

Black on red is nice too.

I'm not sure about the font for "Serious Toys". Is that their logo? IF so, I wonder if you would do better with producing the shirt on your own.

Also, IMO, "Serious Toys" has no brand caché with me personally. Therefore, I wouldn't want to wear one unless it were free.

I hope this doesn't sound rude, because I really like the design and if the price is right would pay for that shirt. I just think that unless I'm a real fan of a brand (i.e. Serious Toys), I don't want to pay to advertise them.

It's definately an 'out there' design... I could see a sales staff wearing it, but it's probably not something that I'd wear on the street. How is it going to look on different sizes of shirts (will the shoulder graphic be too small on an XXL)?

I like the DSC/MINI Wings play. Very nice idea.

I think dickdavid said it best. I really like the first design, but the company name means nothing for me, so I wouldn't want it on there. The little website logo would be ok, but for me, the big ST logo is a little much.

For the first design, I agree with what has been said.

For the second design: I would like it if the design was on the front with nothing on the back.(but I don't like the huge 'Serious Toys' across it-back to what was said before)

Can we get them in orange?

thanks guys... ya the company serious toys is who commissioned me for it... so they might be a little pissed if i drop them haha... but navy blue w yellow is a definite possibility... and the design can fit on anythihn i want it to, as of now is a photoshop/illustator doc that i can resize to fit anything... if the serious toys thing doesnt fly im probally just going to go ahead and have them printed myself... kinda liek them haha and to what DickDavid, no criticism is too harsh guys this is a shirt for the whole community so to hear what my peers think is key... ill keep you guys posted def tho

2nd design is about eleventy million times better!

THAT I would wear for sure! How much $ are we talking for one of these?

On a side note, what do you mean "company that hired me"? Your first post made it sound like you just jumped on some website and designed a shirt. I'm confused.

thanks guys...

i designed the logo awhile ago... and then an apparel company called Serious Toys approached me about making a shirt for them geared to our community and i knew immediately this was it... and here it is haha...

as for cost... i believe they will be selling for $15 a piece and they will be available through their vendor group which will be here in the next week or so or on their website at serioustoys dot net...

Thanks alot though guys... through the feedback on here weve got a shirt that wed all enjoy wearing... cant tell u how much i appreciate it
