Good work guys... how about we get some concept art up here for critique while we knut out any potential copyright issues?
[EDIT] Ok, previously I put out the call to people who could design t-shirt logos... how about we put the call out to the Unforum Metacortex-ARG legal team now?
I'd love to volunteer something, but I'm about as artistic as.. ur... something not all that artistic... anyway, I'll leave to y'all who know what you're doing.

I'd love a tapestry.jpg shirt as well, but I don't think shipping it to Europe would be very favorable, so maybe I'll just try and get one here...
I think that doing the original tapestry picture is one way to do it. Or different messages if we can come up with the tru type Font for it.

As I have already said in some other thread I already have a t-shirt that I created. It is black with this image on the front (see attached) which I created from the Metacortex screensaver, I think it's pretty original just hope I don't get into trouble!
(Colours slightly different now as saved into different format)
EDIT: This jpeg is slightly better

See, I'd love to have that ^ embroidered on the breast of a golf shirt, so I can wear it to work. I'm pretty sure there'll be copyright issues around it though... You should be ok incomniac: you just did a piece of fan art, you didn't make any money off of it. If we start doing this in quantity though... I don't think donating all proceeds to charity would mean we are allowed to use copywritten stuff, but I think it would exonerate things...
(My copyright law is, well, guess work really)...

I'd be happy with a golf shirt I could wear to work. Something that would pass inspection but raise eyebrows from people in the know.

Re: Remind me Great idea with the shirts.
Only I could't decide which motive to choose..
I'm thinking of a bunch of more "personalized" (game character wise) shirts (not all my own ideas!):
e.g.
- Wongmo (loves me more than he loves you - classic!)
- Tex (his very first post "texel is this, texel is that.." - you know - in quite small lettering on the back)
- a golf shirt with embroided Metacortex logo that could pass as an "official" metacortex shirt (also very cool idea)
- some more scary ones using the pics showing ethan and the barbed wire and/or the supposed agents
- he/sheismissing
etc.
When I get the time (and a grip on my computer) I'll up some concepts.
Cheers,
Mac

Anyone with any feedback on the legal situation of all of this yet?

Tshirt Here is a first Tshirt.
[Edit. Link removed . -SpaceBass]
I did the Oct 1st Pic. All the text around the picture is from scratch so it is not just a screen shoot the page. Wanted the font to be clean.
I think I might just move the picture to the back andcome up with a ARG Metecortechs Logo. something classy of course.
Oh yeah. I set the price so that I do not make a profit.
Tell me what you think.

I sure liked the idea of an acronym for ARG like Abnormal Research Group. But we would need some sort of reference to Metacortechs though. I have been doing a ton of Matrix letters and code for a while now, and would be willing to come up with artwork if someone comes up with an idea. PM me if you want to see some of my previous works.
My ideas are:
1) Front: left side. Metacortechs: Wired Reality (with Metacortechs in a bigger font Matrix style, arced over Wired Reality) Black Polo, white letters w/ green blend. Business Shirt.
2) Front: left side. Metacortechs: Abnormal Research Group (same style as above) Black Polo, white letters w/ green blend. Business Shirt.
3) Front: center. Some sort of code, perhaps the Tapestry. Back: Center top. "Solve Me". Black T-shirt
4) I also like the idea of just one code vertical in the center on the front. White (maybe a hint of green) letters on black shirt.
Whatever we choose, I know it will be awesome!
