Traveller Inspired T-Shirts

[Falkayn]

I have recently done some T-shirt designs that were inspired by Traveller, gaming and geekdom in general.

Here is a sample:

Find out more at Falkayn's Store. More to be added this weekend!

 

[Falkayn]

Does anyone have any T-shirt designs they would like to see? I am prepare dto have a go at anything within reason*.


* = Not violating Quiklink or anyone else's IP/copyright, nothing too crude/lewd, nothing too hard!

 

[Falkayn]

OK, the Solomani slaves have been working overtime ... all designs are available on all shirts. Mugs available too!

\

See the Sci-Fi Gaming section for all of these and more!

How about one shirt or mug design that has the green Solomani wheel-cross?


And yes, I have purchased your Traveller items before... via the cafepress website. good stuff!

Maladominus,

You haven't bought from me (unless Cafepress are lying to me ), but you have probably shopped at the official Quicklink Cafepress store.

I'm avoiding outright copying of designs like the Solomani logo. I could do something similar, but not exactly the same (perhaps much thicker lines?). For example, the imperial sunburst on my existng designs is just a rough attempt to come up with something similar to the real thing (it has more points, and is regular in shape), rather than an actual copy of the real thing.

I'll play with the idea and see what I'm comfortable coming up with.

I purchased directly from the Cafepress.com webstore.

And it looks like I have a Solomani Alien Module 6 coffee mug right in front of me. And also a Solomani baseball jersey. Plus cafepress was nice enough to give me a discount coupon on my next purchase! If those are not yours, then I apologize! I got confused as to who made what... but cafepress sure does have neat stuff!

Ahhh ... that's Random Goblin's shop:
http://www.cafepress.com/randomgoblin/

IIRC he's David Deitrick's son, so he's selling his Dad's artwork on Cafepress merchandise (they own the copyright you see).

Unfortunately my family connections aren't quite so good

Ah, so then maybe my post (deleted on second thought) last night wouldn't be far off the mark after all...

Though on sleeping on it (third thought is the charm?) maybe it is

Removed at my request, so blame me not Falkayn if you were thinking about it.

 

[Maladominus]

Ahhh yes, that's it! I purchased the random goblin Traveller items.

I apologize... I got him confused with you, thinking that there was only ONE person who was creating all these Traveller-inspired items for cafepress

As far as the Solomani symbol goes it is just an ancient symbol for Earth so I don't see a copyright issue with it. But then ianal.

If I (or you) tweak the little logo I hacked up for the TNE Group maybe it would be usable and pehaps the TNE fans would like. I see it as a simple crest size badge on the upper left chest (pocket area) or maybe as a shoulder flash or cap (do you do caps?) badge. Would fit well on a mug too I guess.

Dan,

I can do any or all of those for you. Check out my site and see if there is a shirt there you would like - also would you want it on black? (there is only one style of black T-shirt at the moment)

Is that the largest copy of that image you have? If you have a larger one, you can email it to me at falkayn(at)gmail.com.

Cheers,

Dan,

Those designs are in the store. At the size they are on the products the small imperfections in the logo shouldn't be too noticeable.

Cheers,

Dear Folks -

Falkayn, if that's the Southern Cross on those shirts, isn't the small star in the wrong place?

Hehe ... yup, very wrong. You could say it's referential rather than exact. Putting it another way - I didn't have a flag next to me at 2am last night and my internet access was intermittent (d*mn Optus!) sot hat was my best guess from memory. I'm pretty sure I've got the number of points on the stars wrong too.

Sure ... with a little TM after it too, right? ('cause Trader Jim would never let the competition have a go at his IP). I'll get something up in a few hours.

 

[Falkayn]

OK, Earth Symbol (Solomani) and CoffeeJuice products now available for order. If you don't like what they are on, let me know and I can put them onto other things (like larger mugs, different shirts, thongs etc.)

My new favorite is the "Grognard." T-shirts:

There is also now a bunch of Serenity/Firefly quotes under the Sci-Fi Movies & TV section.
