Origin68, New Site and New Line!

by Leah on February 8, 2012

Origin68 has made-over their site and it certainly is looking quite nice. In addition, they have added eight new tees making their 2012 Spring/Summer line. My favorite t-shirt from the bunch would definitely be Enjoy Life (pictured on the pretty girl above). It displays an incredible use of type to create a design – first of all, it grabs my eyes with it’s bold use of red on heathered gray, and then I am intrigued by the way LIFE flows into a circular shape to form something almost organic or whimsical, while ENJOY is tucked away elegantly within the top of the design, that I love! Oh, let’s not forget the subtle details; the placement of their name at the bottom of the design, as well as the hem tag – ah, so refreshing and just right.

Cost: £20.00 Buy it: Origin68

MORE from their new line (and honestly, I enjoy them all!)

Very nice argyle Star Wars t-shirt today at TeeFury.

Seems to me like this is the kind of design that Shirt.Woot should have been selling in the run up to Christmas.

RIPT drop a Milton Glaser-inspired Doctor Who t-shirt.

Harry Potter Muggle Ale shirt at Qwertee.

Those troublesome Tribbles are at Shirt Punch today.

Skyrim is the inspiration for this Nowhere Bad shirt.

I have no idea what the inspiration is for this design at The Yetee.

Star Wars meets Firefly today at OtherTees (who have a snazzy new site).

TeeRaiders have a Doctor Who design as well.

24Tee go for the niche with one of the stars of the (surprisingly enthralling) King of Kong coin-op games documentary.

DBH love owls. On that subject, I saw a man walking down the street with an owl yesterday. Owls are great.

Hey look, Tilteed are selling one of their lesser seen designs again.

I have no idea what the kanji (presuming it’s Japanese) on this shirt says, so buyer beware at TeeMinus24.

Adam over at IAMTHETREND busts six commonly held myths about his employer Storenvy.

Wrongwroks have released a parka with a faux fur trim.

Threadless have made some tees available to be put on Xbox avatars, and they cost about $1 each, but here’s the real kicker, if you want a hoodie you have to pay $2. They’re pixels, just because it costs double in real life doesn’t mean that they should cost double on the Xbox marketplace!

Glennz has made some more designs available as hoodies.

Mashable have a guide to building a strong online community around your brand.

Everything is on sale at Myth Clothing.

This Rihanna ‘thug life’ tattoo picture has been doing the rounds, but it’s her John Lennon t-shirt that interests me the most.

Post image for Fat Gold x Dolls for Idols Collaboration t-shirt

I have no idea who Dolls for Idols are, I don’t really keep myself in the loop when it comes to music anymore, but judging from the song above they’re pretty cool. I may not know music but I do know tees and I really like this design, the typography is delightful and I think that the design really suits theiur style of music, it’s the kind of thing that I can imagine wearing to a club on a night out.

Costiness=28€ (including free delivery worldwide) Buy it at Fat Gold

Any Dexter fans in the house? I’m sure this TeeFury design will be right up your street.

I don’t think that sounds like a good idea AT ALL. Shirt.Woot.

RIPT couldn’t decide on a reference today so they had to just use all of them.

I don’t get it. Nowhere Bad.

“Ohio Blues” t-shirt from Garage Cotton

by Andy on January 18, 2012

in T-shirts,Text/Typography

I get the feel thing that the colours on this design mean something to American football fans, but since the coverage we get in the UK doesn’t go beyond the NFL (well, we can get college games via ESPN, but I can’t justify an extra $15 a month when I won’t watch it that much) I can’t immediately identify the team, and since ‘Ohio Football’ brought up a lot of green in Google Images I’m a little confused.

The good thing about this shirt, and the thing that attracted me to it first amongst the football related shirts on offer at Garage Cotton, was that it can be enjoyed by someone who isn’t necessarily a sports fan, hell, I’ll probably never go to Ohio and I think that it’s a great shirt!

Costiness=$26 Buy it at Garage Cotton (also available in other colourways)

Gorgeous “Faith Hope Love” t-shirt from The Greatest Of These

17.01.2012

I really like the type work on this shirt from The Greatest of These (I’m not too sure about that name though). Unfortunately it’s only available in size medium and large, of course there are plenty of people out there that size, I just don’t happen to be one of them. Costiness=£14 Buy it at [...]

Two lovely new shirts from SockMonkee

10.01.2012

SockMonkee is always reliable to bring out a solid design, and luckily for us today we have two new designs from SM to enjoy. Of the two if you wanted me to pick a favourite I’d go with the ampersand, but I don’t want to take anything away from the character design because that’s pretty [...]

Two new designs from Regan Smith Clarke

10.01.2012

Would be great to see these two designs in reality as they’re currently mockups, but I trust Regan’s design skills enough to know that these will be rather nice tees if you ordered one. Anyone care to hazard a guess which of the two is my favourite? Both tees are $25 each and available now [...]

“Future Football Culture” t-shirt from Eleven Eleven

05.01.2012

I’ve really been into football this season, probably because my and my boys are really into our fantasy league (well, I am, but I’m winning so of course I am), and because Newcastle are still doing a lot better than expected despite a fairly poor December. The problem as I see it with football t-shirts [...]

Type – Eat Fast Die Young [Review]

30.11.2011

I received a tshirt last week from Euan Gallacher of Type, a Scottish brand run by a talented graphic designer. It came with stickers and flyers (all beautifully designed) and in its own vacuum pack bag (like meat) which I was very impressed with, I have seen all manner of packaging but this was simple [...]

Studio On fire

15.11.2011

Studio on Fire is not a t-shirt label but a design service and letterpress printing shop. They call this the “Go Blind Tee Shirt” and for all of those tee makers or inspiring tee makers, this is a mission statement. It could possibly work for a writer or blogger as well. The design features a Vandercook [...]

Poketo make some really lovely stuff.

09.11.2011

I was just looking around the Poketo store recently when I realised that they have got some really delightful clothes. I know I mentioned their winter release recently but I thought it was all scarves and non-tee stuff, but apparently I was wrong.

Four new shirts from DPCTED

07.11.2011

I like the style that DPCTED have got going on, bold phrases saying chubby people are A-OK, but sweet Jesus I wish that they would have put the apostrophes in on these designs. I don’t feel like I’m being too much of a grammar Nazi by asking that something should be spelled correctly. Also, I [...]

“I am the Music” t-shirt from Socialfabrik

05.10.2011

Socialfrabrik have put together a really good blurb for this shirt and the designer behind it, so instead of re-wording it in my own way I’m just going to copy/paste what they put in the e-mail: Our new release is the result of a collaboration with U.S based designer Boris Pelcer titled ‘I Am The [...]

Two new typography tees from Perception Apparel

04.10.2011

Both nice shirts from the Perception crew, they haven’t got a massive amount of designs in their store but they are all good quality, and it’s cool to see how the brand is evolving and gaining more of a look that it can claim to be it’s own (compare their first three releases with the [...]

3 new shirts this week at SnorgTees

30.09.2011

Hmm, I was under the impression that the honey badger was rather more… expressive, shall we say, regarding it’s lack of interest in a given subject. All 3 shirts are $14.95 until October 2nd when they will become $19.95. snorgtees

“Work in Progress” typography t-shirt by 8teeSix

27.09.2011

Found out about these guys when they followed me on Twitter and I like what they’ve got going on, some cool tees of which I think this is the pick of the bunch. I presume it is on a white t-shirt and that the colour balance is a bit off on the photo (unless that’s [...]
