    Default Portal tshirt...ideas?

    I'm thinking of making a Portal tshirt (...yes, I know it's 6 years late, but I only started playing the game yesterday for the 1st time!!)
    Here's my first attempt at a design below.
    What do you guys think? Any suggestions?
    And what colour should it be... I only used black to make the blue/orange stand out so you can see it properly... is black the way to go?
    I guess the real test is to consider: If I were to sell this at R200, would you buy one? (If yes, then it's good. If no, then it requires some more work!)

    Looks good. What above copyright issues though?

    For R200 I'd expect it to be quality stuff, not curtain material or anything.

    I would suggest putting just the portals on the front and back, and perhaps the Aperture logo on a sleeve. just my 2c

    I've done some basic copyright searches and nothing in the above design violates copyright.
    Regarding price : definitely... you should only expect premium quality for a premium price. That and the fact that it's a custom item would be the justification for the cost... Not that this will be the final retail price... I could well sell it for less depending on the production cost. Still early for that, though: First I need to have a design that's worth paying for.

    I appreciate the feedback. Lemme go back to the drawing board (or GIMP, in this case) and see what I can come up with.

    The problem with the current design you wont be able to read Aperture unless see both the front and back so the sleeve suggestion is best same with the word laboratories unless you make both words smaller and put it where you pocket normally would be.

    But that's the whole point.
    I mean... it's Portal.

    Oh good lord you're right! You couldn't squeeze the "R" in on the front? Mind you "aper" isn't much better.
