I absolutely love the 'I (Wrenchfist) My Volvo' one!!!! (Matt's 3rd post, second option)

Guys, I'm not going to change the logo. That's way out of scope for this. But I appreciate your input!

A little more coaxing, perhaps?...

Modern-simplistic and reads 2 ways: once the eye catches one of two messages, the brain kicks on to decipher the second one, which is either substituting the word wrench for the picture, or wandering what "MVS" means...the answer is below. Now that's one of the holy grails of logo/advertising memory retention (getting the brain to 'turn on', even if it's just for a moment)

My exact feeling. Yes white. June

If you haven't, please vote in the t-shirt size poll. TIA.

No.2 on the first sequence and ‘just(hand) it’ - ambiguous yet familiar...

+1 on MDKs idea of Swedish sunburst.

In no particular order...

White tees discolor in the wash.
White tees hold onto stains.
Gals do like white tees.
Grays (light & dark), black, and possibly navy blue are the best for this application. And maybe the navy blue would ring too near Volvo box blue and therefore be no good. I'm not sure of that.

The big, white background rectangles make a tee uncomfortable. You get a big sweat patch beneath them.

As mentioned above, drop coloring the fist and just use the outlines.

I 'fist' my Volvo and the I 'fist" IT designs are best.

JUST 'fist" IT seems cluttered....too wide.

TOTALLY LOSE the lightening bolt design.

The big crow's foot motif seems too large...to much to stretch over someone's chest.

NOTE: The "Sun's rays" beaming from behind some of the fists look like the old Japanese flag. It might appeal to the "former ricer" crowd but looks kind of busy.

The Crow's foot "Just MVS IT" with "Matthew's Volvo Site" beneath it looks good.
No need to stretch the central V O L V O or use differing type faces in the ".com" address.
The eye will find the word VOLVO beneath the crow's foot.
Use the caps, drop the spacing. People will get it.
..... and add a little space between the graphic and the print line.

See if an outline instead of the big, black rectangle would work.

I've almost finalized the shirt order. I'm making the decision on quality today or tomorrow and pushing this through. It's almost $600 order so I'm obsessing over it. They have 4 quality levels of shirt. 1-2 are out. I don't want junk. The price difference between #3 and #4 is $1.90 per shirt.

#3 BELLA+CANVAS 3413
#4 AMERICAN APPAREL TR401

in case anyone has input/experience with those brands. I have a few AA shirts and they really are outstanding. Soft and durable, but not thick.
