Generally consumers are allowed freedom of expression and in this age brands are seen as a form of expression and as such people are allowed to associate themselves with a brand provided their expression does not negatively impact on the original brand.

    Therefore while stunt does have a point, it is also unlikely that these shirts would ever be deemed to be an infringement on portal and steams rights in their current form.
    I understand and accept you view, it's also why I suggested he contact the Registered holder, Valve and query it. I guarantee they won't flog him for 10 t-shirts, but this is about being morally right.

    What he does wrong is he could be making an income off this and he's also advertising this on a registered website. If something comes from this, MyG could get into trouble.

    Well let's see what comes from the letter but I'm 90% certain that valve won't have a problem.

    I really like this shirt! If Valve allows you to sell some, I may get one Could you make a version without the Aperture logo + name? Or perhaps so that it says "Ap" instead of "Ape" on the front I will be watching this thread for news

    T-shirt piracy. Sad.
    I couldn't really care.

    When Inevitability came out with the idea to get N7 themed Mass Effect shirts, he needed a few guys to buy in to warrant getting any made at all - it wasn't exactly for profit due to the low quantities and high overheads.

    Anyway, I still wear my N7 shirts to this day and they're awesome.


    I'd like to place an order for 2 Portal shirts asseblief.

    I 2nd this
    I'll include my good review also, I'm still wearing the Hitman and Flash shirts he previously made. The flash shirt had a small printing issue but not really noticeable, he told me before delivery and he offered to not charge me so to me this isn't a money making scam.

    Thanks for the kind words guys. It's very satisfying to know that something that's kind of a "labour of love" is also enjoyed by others.
    As for quality, I make these things for my own self primarily, and I'd only ever sell the same quality to others that I'd want for myself.

    Where do you get the t-shirts printed/made? I've always wondered where you can do that, maybe make a once-off tee for myself
