Design help please (Blast!)

I'd like a nice high version of the People's Republic Of West Yorkshire design, with the cogwheel border.

I'm not very good with circular text, so I'd be grateful for some help changing the text to read:

LEEDS UNIVERSITY GOTHIC SOCIETY

2011

Please don't ask - I'm not even a member I don't think, but one of the girls who runs it is a good friend of mine. I help out with the practical elements like running gigs etc. I'm doing the T Shirt sneakily before the others get a chance to design something rubbish with bats and spiders webs on it.

They were talking about doing an alternative fashion show type thing, and the name "Body Electric: The Alternative Fashion Show" was put forward by said friend and one of the others said said "can we change it to Electric Body so it sounds more cyber?" :roll:

I've found the artwork, unfortunately I only have a PDF version of it and when I translate it back to vectors in Illustraitor (spit!) it loses all the font information. I've dropped it into The Mighty Freehand! and I'll clean it up tonight.

amn't I just great? :lol:

purrty :lol:

however, there are a couple of potential problems with that concept:

a) it looks (deliberately) like the sisters 'people's republic" tee

which is not really a problem on it's own, if it wasn't that:

b) phono paul already did one for the leeds goth scene just like that a couple of years ago

sorry guys :|

Way ahead of you on both counts ;)

Paul's quite happy having it as a MkII of that design - I don't think he ever printed it, I've certainly never seen one!

He used it for the Black Sheep flyer though.

I have no issue ripping off the Sissies shirt for it, it's a deliberate fun poke at them, and far more in keeping with LeedsGothSoc than spiders and bats etc.
:wink:

Lastly - the Goth soc are paying for it and I (Blast!) get to design it - and I've wanted one of those shirts for years but never been able to find one. So now I get to make my own :lol:

I was jesting Boss but I did have a few pangs of "Copyright Infringement", what the hell I'm only the mechanic, Maisey's the driver :lol:

Not "Copyright Infrigment" as "utter shamelessness"

Anyway, it's ok if you're not trying to pass it off as your own work - it's supposed to be a tribute to the Sisters 8)

It's like the time Dave from Vendemmian wore a T shirt that said "REAL GOTHS ARE OLD"

Porl King emailed him saying something along the lines of: "you stealing cnut. Why do you people keep having to rip off my ideas? I did a shirt with that slogan years ago so you can fcuking stop wearing that rip off".

To which Dave replied:

"It is a fcuking Rosetta Stone shirt."

:lol:

I'm actually liking the second one a lot. Certainly eye-catching.
