It really doesn't matter to me, I just thought I'd throw that out there. If people have a strong or even weak preference for orange, that's totally cool...

Good to hear. I like light blue very much. Thank you for such an AWESOME suggestion, ProverbialCereal. Did you ever consider calling yourself "Awesome Proverbial Cereal"?

Okay, we've got orange, purple, light blue..seems like people are happy with having colored (rather than white) kitties, so let's stick with the company i have.

Damien - would you want to mock up say four to six examples of colored kitties, your choice?

If you go to this page, you can see the tshirt color option on the right:

http://www.beneficialts.com/products.html

I personally like white, black, pacific blue, true blue, cypress, red, sagebrush and green tea..

I think we should limit the number of shirt colors available, so that the colored kitty won't clash with the shirt..white and black are pretty commonplace, so i'd suggest one of the other color options..

Thoughts?

Light blue kitty on a Pacific Blue shirt sounds cool, IMO.

Not sure if this is a vote or what, but my 2 pence is white kitties on granite/grey. Very stylin'!

If we were doing a grey shirt, we could probably just not colour the kitties (since we can't print white) and they'd be the same as the shirt, but not sure how that'd look.

Pacific blue, blueblack, black, true blue are the colours I'd be OK with personally as far as shirts go. I have a cypress/sage/green tea shirt and will probably never buy another one that colour in my life, but that's just for me.

With those colours though, probably better off with a light blue than purple, though I really wish we could do white.

the only colour a purple or violet kitty would look good with is the grey/slate colour.

not to sound like a girl, but i love fashion questions!
i agree with shine -- purple/violet kitties only with grey/slate. and every shirt the in the green color family makes me look dead and enbalmed. so grey with purple kitties gets my vote. thanks.

I don't give a flying fuck what color it is so I'll put in a vote for whatever is the current majority

Okay, i got my 'samples' from Patagonia.

Basically, it's like an ink jet printing, so it's not as 'vivid' as plasticy/pvc-type printing. It appears that it'll last a long time, and we'll be able to keep the price under $18 each (inc. shipping.)

Once more, here's the design:



I think it'll look good on this.

So now we gotta decide on 'blank' kitties, or a color..and what color tshirts..doesn't seem like a particular mix is being voted for..

Since there's a fair bit of black in the design, a dark shirt wouldn't show up well, so lighter colors should be chosen...how do white and true blue sound for shirt colors? Here's a chunk of that color:



It's pretty bright in real-life.

As for the kitties, we'd need a color that would look good on both the blue and white...maybe orange? As i've mentioned, it won't be too 'vivid', so imagine printing whatever color on a piece of paper the color of the shirt...that's sort of what you can expect..

Thoughts?

I don't know that I quite understand everything you're saying about the colors. Are you saying the shirt itself would be blue and white? How does that work? Or are you saying that people will have a choice between either blue or white? Orange cats are fine with me.

Dave, you could use the white (i.e. transparent) kitties for a white shirt unless people want them coloured...

There's definitely some work to be done colouring them on the blue one though. Things like the yellow eyes wouldn't show up at all. That said, you could have the kitties like Derek's and transparent (i.e. blue) on the true blue too and that'd prolly look alright.

Just thoughts...

Transparent on the white shirts seems a good idea to me.

I'd like to have two tshirt color options. Of the colors available, i think white and true blue would look best with the design.

Darker colors would be great, but since the design is mostly dark, it'd just blend in with the rest of the shirt..

Hey Active, would you wanna substitute that color snippet for the true-blue in your design, so people would see what it would look like? Toss a dark blue as well, just for shits'n'giggles.

Sorry. I did this in a bit of a rush and I wasn't sure what colours you had decided on for the cats.

hmm..the light blue looks nice on the fabric sample i have, so we could have blue kitties - they'd look good on the white shirts too.

Damien - do you think it'd be wise to put a light blue outline (or other light color?) around the black text, so it stands out a bit more..?

I think personally I'd avoid that and change the colour of the text altogether if it needs to stand out more.

I agree with you there... make the black white and the grey some lighter shade maybe?

I think those kitties could be transparent, too, but I don't know what everyone else thinks. I suppose if they were, the black wouldn't be as visible for details like the nose, so maybe they should just be a lighter colour? Whatever. It's early and I'm in no position to make any good judgements. :)

I think the text is fine; it will probably stand out a lot more on the actual shirt.

There is no 'white' except the white on a white tshirt..

I would imagine lighter colors would be darkened by the dark tshirt. Again, imagine printing from an inkjet printer onto paper that color..that's what it'll look like..

Im not sure the red on the kitties looks that grwat..or the blue, for that matter. They looks sorta...deformed. I think they should be white. Likt the kittie you get when you hit 50 posts here. i like that kittie.



I bet you never thought your movie would turn out this way
You crossed the other way, youd hope i wouldnt see you, you say youre doing fine, but thats not what it looks like, your undercovers on...
