    Well, I sent the files to Russ, I think he'll start getting quotes on printing them up asap.

    I am already working on quotes, I guess at this point in time we just need to figure out how many of each color we are going to get. I am guessing that we should be real close to the $15 that they were last year. For now I am just looking for a quantity and a color.

    While it might be a nice touch visually, I think we should drop the FHI from the bottom.

    **EDIT** and remember, I already own one of these shirts...if it had that at the bottom, I wouldn't have bought one...but I don't really have a choice since I won one. My .02

    Noted. Do you not like it because it is in kanji? Or because just saying "Fuji Heavy Industries" is kinda boring?

    Let me think about that. I would have to put some more work into that file to finish it, it's still kinda rough in vector form. I suppose I'd have to take the wing off of the back and put "Car of the Month, July 2007" on the bottom, right? ;), then _all_ the car of the month winners would want a custom t-shirt.... :)

    It's a little bit of both I guess. If it said Fuji Heavy Industries at the bottom in english, it wouldn't make it any better. Just seems tacked on there. And while I can see where it makes the lower text area more pleasing to the eye to have that below it, the Kanji FHI isn't working for me.

    i think its real good.. like others said black and white is played out but its played out for a reason...it looks best(mostly).. but anyways.. maybe since the 04/05 guys want there car on there.. they could have the rear of the car on the back.. its different from gc and 02/03 and not as colorful as 06/07

    when did everyone agree that we could display "mnsubaru.com" ?

    I liked the idea of just the 3 cars, not with the state, a lot better....
    and also, if you're sick of white and black, why not do silver and black?

    Why not nix the state, do the 3 cars with MNSUBARU.com below it on the front, and the kanji on the back?

    I'm confused,
    we voted on art work, and now it's different?

    I thought we voted on design ideas. Only your hoodie design was actually completed artwork, the rest were sketches, etc.

    I took some "artistic" liberty creating the artwork, yes. The three cars alone would be very small on the shirt. I showed my ideas to mlgez (he had the winning design idea) before finalizing them and had them approved by him.

    Not everything can be done by vote, etc, at some point things just need to get done. And so far the majority of the feedback I've been hearing is very positive.

    I don't know what else to say here, I put a lot of work into this. I'm sorry if some people don't like it, but I don't think we can possibly come up with one design that will please everyone.

    Sorry if I got a little defensive. I tried to find a balance between doing the idea Matt came up with and doing what I thought would look good on the shirt.

    Don't worry about it Joel. There is no way we would be able to please 1/2 the people here.

    I really like it Joel, good work. Although I agree with the 'mix, the "fuji heavy industries" on the bottom looks like it's just tacked on there. I think removing it would make the design more balanced.

    I'm playing around with the file again, I do like it with _something_ there. But it's not terrible with nothing either.
