…and they separated the shirts from the sheep and the goats…

The Hard Music Magazine. Hmmm. Why do they cover Owl City and Danielson then? Is there something to this indie rock aesthetic thing?

Alright. We’ve got more previews to look at for our new shirt design.
We kinda decided we want to shoot for a purple shirt fabric, so these design previews are against a purple background.

Whattya think? Do you like the goat? What about the “stressed” look (like an old, faded shirt) on the text? Do you like the lightning bolts and the eighth-note hanging there? (I think that’s what it is…)

    The first one is not bad, the third one is much better. As tired as black can be, it still is a number one choice. I know you probably want to do something different instead of stale, but black sells. Doug it is not to late to step away from the ledge man!

    I like purple, but the green on purple is hideous. What’s with the 70’s hippie lettering, but I’m not exactly a fashionista.

    Doug …. The goats are super sweet. I like the 1st and 4th goats. Please do a color other than black! My wife says I can only have 20 black shirts. So help out a brother!
    I think Cake said it best. Sheep go to heaven goats go to… oh wait never mind.
    Peace Out

    OK, so maybe I’m out of the loop, but why a goat? Usually in the Bible, the goat represents the outcast and unclean, poser sheep. If there’s some other symbolism I’m missing, please tell me.

    To me, the first thing it reminded me of was a Baphomet.

    I’m not a fan of this design by any stretch of the imagination. It looks like it was done in about 5 minutes and tossed on a T-shirt to make some money, “cause hurry up we need some merch”
    I hesitate to use the word hate in my daily life, but at some times I guess it is appropriate. I hate this design! The font choice is terrible and the vector swirls look lame, and the goat image is uninspiring and has no life. The whole image just kinda lays there doing nothing.

    Aside from that I think it’s great …cough.
    Sorry, but you asked us what we thought and I had to be honest. Sorry
