Old Fairlight logo t-shirts

2009-04-10 by tama_rat

I had been looking for a t-shirt with the old (Series I/II(x) era) Fairlight logo for a while, but couldn't find any.  I found shirts with Roland, PPG, etc. logos, but no Fairlight.

So, I made my own!  I thought some folks on this list might be interested as well.  There are 3 colors/styles available at:

Note that I have the commissions for all of these set to $0.  I'm not making any money on them.  I wanted a couple of shirts for myself, then thought that maybe others would like them, too.

I've only bought the blue and brown shirts (with white text).  If anyone gets the sand-colored one (with black text), please let me know how it looks.

I'm impressed with the quality of the two shirts I bought.  The shirts themselves are nice (note that they seem to run a little small), and the printing is extremely crisp.  It's way nicer than cafepress, zazzle, or printfection, in my opinion.

(You can stop reading here if you're not interested in how I made the artwork!)

When I replaced the CRT in my IIx monitor I put the logo part of the front piece of the enclosure on a scanner and scanned it.  I loaded that into Photoshop and cleaned it up, then used Illustrator to trace it.  I sent the resulting .eps file to Spreadshirt.

For the printing technology used on these shirts, they only accept vector art with a maximum of 3 colors.  That was perfect for this logo.  The stylized "F" is cyan, and the text/frame is either black or white, depending on which shirt you pick.

Let me know if you get one, and how you like it!
