Hey that's much better, someone may try to plug into the wearer. I did like the concept of water coming out of the tank but that had too many colors. It could probably be made to work. Still, if someone didn't know what a reverb tank is it would make much sense. The design shouldn't rely on knowledge of the gear but should somehow say surf music to anyone, and at the same time be an interesting image. Sorry tdsurf, Teletubbies and Unicorns are perfect but again, too many colors. |

You're right, of course... I just thought to know the reverb, you must BE the reverb... Even though I know the surf and tiki scenes are completely separate things, many people outside of either circles tend to see them as interchangeable. I'd also love to see something like Fender's discontinued tiki shirt: |

I like this one but that Orange isn't working for me for some reason. Try red or some other colors to see how it will look. — |

Thanks Zak! Although I was hoping for something a little more SRV-esque :razz: I actually really like the reverb tank faceplate concept a lot. With some more graphic design work I think it could be pretty damn cool. —Ryan |

Sorry man, I disagree, this was my submission. You are welcome to submit your own. I have a green version on my myspace pics pages, page 2 of the posters. I thought we were submitting ideas in this thread, not voting on anything. Let's wait until all submissions are in before picking something. The only drawback of this design is that it will only work on white or pale shirts. |

OK, final submission (unless someone thinks of something brilliant to add to it). Added stressed details to fonts, and a new logo: Kinda reminds me of those simple monotone punk shirts I've always loved, so it might not float so well here. (This wouldn't look too good in seafoam green either, or anything other than black for that matter.) — |

They only have a medium. If anyone wants it, I'd be glad to pick it up and we can work out the details. —Will "You're done, once you're a surfer you're done. You're in. It's like the mob or something. You're not getting out." - Kelly Slater |

Yeah, it seemed to have a really limited run, and I never even saw one in the US. You can still find it overseas for crazy prices though. — |

Dude! You even changed the sillouette so that it resembles a Surfcoaster! I prefer the original yellow-sunbeam/Endless summer/offset-guitar-carried-as-surfboard design... |

Im really diggin' Zak's design, although I will have to deduct some points because the Afro isn't big enough for me. Could have used a comb in too.
