grrr.

Need help/ideas.

I guess you didn't like Jason and the Argonauts. Or Goldilocks and the 3 Bears.

What about

The Food Groups
Petrous Apicitis
The Webbines, with Dot Com, Dot Net and Dot Org
Impetigo
What the Cat Dragged In
Dog's Breakfast
Ear Nose and Throat
Gargling for Dollars

My vote is waiting.

Progress so far. Not satisfied with it, but it's late and I'm tired. I'll prolly add something to make the 14 Mar bit more legible later. Any other suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Edit: And yes that is the number pi in the background, 26 rows of 42 numbers I think...

And here's where I got mah numbers Pi to 1,000,000 decimal points. Obviously I didn't need that many for my design...

Wow, thanks for all the support guys I am wondering if I should give it a distressed look. Should I proceed or do you think it's good the way it is?

I like it the way it is, so I veto distressing. I personally never buy anything with fake distressing, if I distress its one thing but I don't wanna buy clothes that are already damaged goods.

My husband used to tease our niece about being so emu all the time. I would have to get one of these for both of them

Edit: I'm thinking one of them needs a bit of pink in the hair...and a beak ring.

Oh, my brother would LOVE this shirt. Well, no he wouldn't, but that's just because he hates everything. Except pi. So if he was open to loving anything, he would love this shirt.

Here's my idea. I'm trying to think of a different name though and a better way to present the text.

My band has joked that this should be our alter ego for a couple months.

HAM GRENADE! Pull the Pin World tour 09

Should it be on red or olive?

Alright, the Emus was taken so I had to go with "The E-muse"
I also created this other design. Any suggestions/comments on either would be great. Thanks.

I'm not in favor of distressing either. With a name like Electric Bill, I think the colors should be bright, just like you have them. I am remembering colors like Electric Blue and Neon Pink.

Here's my design so far. I'm not sure if the band is signs of the apocalypse or hiking in Argentina. not sure it really matters, actually.

The colours given in the template are available shirt colours. You can use any pantone solid coated colours up to a max of 6 for spot colours.

Here's my progression so far, and yes, it's "the"
Bremen's band, am i hurting so called, intellectual property?
how do you guys think?

For a hint, please refer to ElectricBill's first hit, "No":

"No no no/don't you distress
It will be a big old mess
Distressing is something you should not do
no no no, it's not for you
leave the TV running for days on end"

"House of Cards" maybe, on the Texas Hold 'Em (is that the right name of the game?) Tour?

Oh, how about "Name of the Game"! No? Ah, well, I tried. Good design, though!

PURPLE! MUST HAVE PURPLE! Oh, and a campfire! And a dancing gypsy girl with a tambourine! (See Esmeralda: Hunchback of Notre Dame)

Wonderful...a couple of quick thoughts, though...
•the electric cords look like they are coming out of the guitars instead of the amps
•IMO, the "BILL" in "ELECTRICBILL" should stand out a bit...either a tad larger or have the letters in "ELECTRIC" get slightly smaller.
•if you have time, and are inclined to do so, add a meter.

This is what you're getting from me tomorrow, and you're going to like it GD it. I'll turn this car around! (critiques welcome)



Okay, I clearly need to go to sleep. See ya guys. zzzzz

Needs more purple?

THE SLEEPY DOGS! SOMEONE DO THE SLEEPY DOGS! (or some variation thereof)

No way. It's good the way it is and looks great on the shirt.

To be clear: we're looking for fake bands you made up, not fake bands from movies or TV shows.
It's what they mentioned, the bremens are not from those.

Me too. I was very confused at first why the middle one had 4 ears.

"Romani" sounds cooler.

I like the disclaimer you added.

I was thinking this earlier, when I was still considering making a design this week - this would be the perfect derby to offer double-sided printing, if only temporarily. Tour shirts usually have some design on the front and then tour dates and locations on the back, right?

The bremen musicians are not from movies or shows. they are also not a fake band you made up. you lose. good day sir.

No, the point is that they want NEW fake bands, not EXISTING fake bands.

And I realize that "existing fake" is oxymoronic.

I love the names, but I'm not crazy about the shirt itself. Something more appealing, maybe? Sorry. Maybe it's just me.

There is no purple. You disappoint me. I may cry.

remove the arrows... I can only imagine where they'll point

thanks for the clarification!

Okie I'm done. G'night.

Is there a particular reason why "purchase" is not capitalized when the rest of the main words are in that sentence? I know it's something picky, but just something I noticed. . .
