Greetings group,

   As I have been sick the last few days (one of the many perks of having three little children), I had some time to fool around with a t-shirt design for rotary airplane people. I am not a graphic arts wizard, but I think it turned out okay. The first is just a simple logo on a t-shirt, the second is a logo on front, but with a small logo and "flyrotary.com" on the sleeve. (it is not shown on the sleeve, but rather is displayed on the lower left corner of the shirt in the picture, it would be printed on the right sleeve on the shirts)
Wondered what people thought of putting "flyrotary.com" on the sleeve, or it could be easily put on the front under the logo, or left off all together.

Now the downside, this company will print just one shirt, as they can do it digitally, but my image is too small and would be pixelated if larger than 5 inches across. In order to solve that problem, they would have to do a silk screen which they do for orders of 6 or more shirts. They are not exactly cheep, but the more orders they get, the cheeper they get. She quoted me $23 per shirt with an order of 6, I believe that was without the sleeve printing. Probably add a couple of bucks if that is printed on there. Any thoughts, discrepancies, like it, hate it, etc... all comments appreciated, both positive and negative.
One school of thought is to put "flyrotary.com" on the shirt to promote our group, on the other hand, I don't want to alienate rotary enthusiasts that may follow another list. Perhaps just the Rotor with wings logo, and no wording. Most rotary enthusiasts would pick out that rotor in a second if seen on the flight line. Which is one of the theories behind the shirt. Recognition of other like minded flyers at the airshows. Last year at OSH we agreed to meet up on the flight line, but had know way of identifying one another. I think leaving some people out of good discussion due to nonrecognition.

They offer many different shirt options, so you could choose your preference, I don't think they all have to be the same. I personally would get it in a light grey, as white clothes and me just don't seem to get along very well.

Best,
