Carousel Tides t-shirt!

[rolanni]

You thought I’d forgotten, didn’t you?

Many thanks to Pat Reuss and to Vincent, we have art!

And, thanks to Black Dog Designs, we have a mock-up of the shirt!

The color of the shirt is subject to change (I’m still thinking cotton-candy colors — pink, light blue, light green), and there are a couple other details that need to be nailed down — such as cost, sizing, print run, how many colors we can do — but this is the general idea.

So, the question:  Would you — yes, you — purchase this t-shirt?

Edited to add:  Mock-up of t-shirt with large logo on back, title and author’s name on front.  Same rules as above.

Edited Again to add: There’s some talk over at the Eagles Over the Kennebec section of this discussion about having the title and author’s name in a ribbon (on a ribbon? as a ribbon?). Obviously, I’m not very clear what this means, and even if I knew, it’s unlikely I could produce whatever-it-is. Which means? The only way there’s a ribbon is if someone makes it and donates the art to the cause. If someone wishes to attempt this, do mind the font on the graphic — and do a close match, thanks.

artistically, I'd rather have:

- slighly smaller logo on front and "Carousel Tides" splashed across the top back in some sort of stylized font and the byline in smaller letters nearby

or

- "Carousel Tides" in a smaller stylized type on the front (no byline), and the logo large on the back.

Not that I don't like the byline, or the title, but just the bare title=author hanging out there looks distinctly amateurish, while the logo itself is quite nice.

My $0.02...

The byline, says the author, is sort of the point of the whole exercise, since bookstores file by author name, not by title. So, we're kind stuck there

And we're probably stuck with a certain level of "amateur," too, given my skills and unwillingness to put the design team through any more hoops on my behalf.
