The idea is definitely cool; synth geeks seem to be suckers for this sort
of thing in general (I am, certainly).

[** Warning: kibitzing follows! **]

As for the specific designs, I think the colors are nice (too many black
t-shirts around these days), but the images of the Evolver and PEK seem
a bit too, um, "concrete" is the only word that comes to mind -- I'd
feel slightly odd wearing those.  I think more abstract/graphic designs
work better for t-shirts; I guess for many synths this is the a company
logo or something (OK, that's the DS-signature, but it seems a bit on
the low-key side).

Some ideas:

  * The word "Evolver" in the wacky font which is on the E's front panel.
    It's proportioned nicely for the front of a t-shirt too, and would look
    good against a light background color.  I'd buy one of these ... :-)

  * The somewhat abstract photo of the Evolver which is the main image on
    the DSI website front-page (you know, it's tilted at a 45deg angle,
    closely cropped, with a red-orange background).

[As for a link on the DSI website, why not?  Whether or not people wanna
buy the stuff or not, I don't see why anyone would be turned off by the
possibility...]

Thanks,
