New t-shirts for this year's frag swap

[neuroslicer]

We've got a few 2007 (I glue animals...) and 2008 (does this make my wrasse..) t-shirts to sell at the frag swap, but not many. We didn't have a new t-shirt design for last year, but I've volunteered to work on one for this year. The shirt will have the club logo, plus a new graphic, which have to be designed after we agree on a text. Please suggest a statement you'd like to see on the shirt, and/or give me feedback on the following:

Frag it!

I'm reef safe!

Got frags?

Got reef?

Get tanked!

Tanks alot!

I (heart symbol) NaCl-H20!

Eat more pods!

Coral reefer

Ask me about my reef

Ask me about live rock

how 'bout these? Found on cafe press:

"Say hello to my little frag"
"Which came first? The coral or the frag?"

Kinda creepy to me. Any way to use fish for the heart and not an alien looking pod?

 

[neuroslicer]

I searched my taxonomy texts last night looking for things I could morph into a heart, and thought the amphipod was the most realistic representation amongst the choices. The second choice was a copepod with very long antennae that I could bend into a heart shape as they came down along the sides of the copepod body.

Not sure how I would do a fish... presumably I could do it with the top down view of four fish, the top two doing a c-bend escape response, and then the lower two angled to have their tail fins touch at the apex of the heart. But since marine ecosystems are so much more than fish I thought an invertebrate would be much more of a talking point. And we did have a fish for the last shirt.

I'm open for comments and suggestions.

Thee Original $pousal Unit just chimed in: "What kinda shrimp are those?"

(That's actually a good question!)

Actually, I think you'll loose details in the screenign process.

Those are amphipods.

I like this one much better than the amphipod one. But that's just me :0)

 

[neuroslicer]

I've got 2 - 3 more ideas in mind... i'll work on those tonight and then we'll see if there's a concensus. It's entirely possible to have more than one variety of this logo available if people want different ones.

(I feel like Darren Stevens...)

I Clown around!
