Glenn MillamParticipantThe Waste design.
Glenn MillamParticipantThe golden yellow Peace design.
Glenn MillamParticipantThe green Peace design.
Glenn MillamParticipantThe Green design.
Glenn MillamParticipantThe Red design.
Glenn MillamParticipantThe Blue design.
Glenn MillamParticipantHere are the updated shirts. They are rendered in CMYK simulation.
This is the Orange-yellow design.

As for the black t-shirts… their printing process demands line-art (hard-edged graphics, like the current t-shirt back) with no transparent pixels. This is because the inks have to be opaque to make it work, unlike a white or lightly colored t-shirt. None of the current designs fit the criteria. We will have to create new designs for this.
How about if we go with white lettering above and below a solid light green Peace symbol, with the nuclei and arrows on it? Will that work?
That design would probably work well. You wouldn’t have any cool glow effect, but it would definitely be a peace symbol. Let me work on it.Glenn MillamParticipantOne other concern. As I played around with the original design to get it to work for the black t-shirt, I saw that the rhodamine-plasma color that worked so well got very muddy when I converted it to CMYK. Here is what it looks like. Not pretty.
As most print processes use CMYK, this may be the result if we use the original design. I believe they use an inkjet based process that may have a wider color gamut (HP uses a 6-color process, Epson uses an 8-color process), so itt may not be as bad as shown here. The only way to know is to make a shirt, order one, and see how it looks.
I am about to post the rest of the designs. All of these will have CMYK simulation applied.
Glenn MillamParticipantHere is an example of what we would have to do to get the original t-shirt design to work on black cloth. Note that fuzzy edges to not work. All edges must be sharp. White or near white areas print as Opaque White.

OK, other than that, I need to go set up a cafepress store, and you need to prep the images for upload. I’m sure you’re all over this: http://www.cafepress.com/cp/info/help/images.aspx

Also, I have a CafePress store for another non-profit project I am involved in, so I know the drill. I can either email you zip files with the PNGs or you can email me the log-in info and I can upload them myself. I’ve got pretty fast broadband if you’d prefer me to do it, once the final art is ready.
Glenn MillamParticipantSo… how fast can we get this ball rolling? I say we do one more good round of edits and make some shirts.
Glenn MillamParticipantHere is the “Waste” shirt.
Glenn MillamParticipantHere is the “Peace” t-shirt. I used the starburst from the previous design to create a “shining future” glow. The type is more conventional than the previous one, as there is more to read.
Glenn MillamParticipantAfter we get this all set, we need some of our non-english speaking friends to translate this stuff in their favorite tongues so they can have cool shirts too.
