Nice logo, Louie! But could you make one available without the bold URL on the front of the shirt?
I know, I know, you can’t please everyone!
Always’, can the URL be smaller? We’re trying to make these to be WildSnow t’s…. would it be okay to have the URL on one side and the design on the other? You can leave a comment here and Louie will see it… Lou
Do you mean the big “wildsnow.com” that is on the front of lots of the t-shirts? I was thinking of maybe making it so it was smaller and on the right, what do you think of that?
Thanks for the sugestions.
Louie
Yeah, smaller and on the side would look better.
Thanks!
Having two versions is easy, that’s the beauty of this thing.
dont want to start a riot or anything……but i thing it looks good in the middle, bold and big!
My somewhat spartan closet will soon be growing! Awesome product and design.
Does the shirt with the climber on the back have the wildsnow.com logo on the front?
No, it doesn’t have anything on the front
