my band is mired in the "too busy (lazy) to get merch made" stage and we seriously need to get out of it. we've been struggling to find an aesthetic that works and we can all agree on, but my ladyfriend and I have come up with these mockups and I've come seeking ILF's venerable opinions. so what do you think- do these designs fit with the tones? would you wear a shirt with a mutant calf on it? has the Dore print been used before? let me know what you think!

I really like the second one! I would wear that like 3 days a week.

fuck yeah man! I'll let you know when that becomes a possibility

Agreed the second shirt is sweet, the first one aint bad but its not a shirt I'd consider buying. It doesnt really grab me beyond the "thats unusual" factor.

What kbit said!

I actually really dig the imagery of the first, but I think the layout could be changed. Maybe it's the font that bothers me?

Of course, I am not a designer and have no eye for this shit, so take that with an incredible grain of salt.

thanks for the constructive criticism dudes! I think the first one could definitely be tweaked, I kind of just wanted to try the ol' swans font with a weird image just to see. glad people dig the second one!

The second shirt is fucking rad. The first would be way cooler if it wasn't on plain white. A beige or like taupe color that helps the design blend a little better would look awesome though.

Also it reminds me way more of the Melvins than Swans. Not in a bad way, just in a way way.

Me too. I think perhaps the text overlaying the image makes it look cluttered.

wOrd, both are dope!

I totally see that and it gives me ideas. maybe it's the whole mutant animal thing?

WAH I have never seen that graphic on a white shirt. Weird. Weird Weird.

I wouldn't buy another white t-shirt because history has shown that I always spill food on it the first time I wear it. Just something to keep in mind.

I agree on #2, but then I don't buy shirts that are not black.
