Do we have an official slogan/motto or anything? Just for something to put under the logo/URL...

Perhaps "Log in, try to learn, and then give up after getting mocked by the regulars!"

I would buy a speedhack shirt just so I could explain to people what it meant. People would just assume I was into music if I wore a shirt that said "Allegro".

Can I get one of those "Event Staff" shirts? Even though I'm not event staff?

The images for the dark tshirts seem to have a limit of 10x10 inches on the front at 100dpi minimum, pockets are 6x6 inches, both prefer 200dpi, the classic cap wants 200dpi minimum and 5x2" so It pretty much varies per item I think.

Yikes! That's what I saw when I went to look at cafepress's men's t-shirts to get a blank white t-shirt picture front and back. I had to 'photoshop' a blank one up.

Here are some draft previews of my proposed t-shirt front and back :
Front :
{"name":"596041","src":"\/\/djungxnpq2nug.cloudfront.net\/image\/cache\/4\/6\/46870817de104efd4550a24f63e06ca0.jpg","w":900,"h":900,"tn":"\/\/djungxnpq2nug.cloudfront.net\/image\/cache\/4\/6\/46870817de104efd4550a24f63e06ca0"}
Back :
{"name":"596040","src":"\/\/djungxnpq2nug.cloudfront.net\/image\/cache\/1\/2\/12a9bff1b223a2b9aef191e392407053.jpg","w":675,"h":675,"tn":"\/\/djungxnpq2nug.cloudfront.net\/image\/cache\/1\/2\/12a9bff1b223a2b9aef191e392407053"}

There's nothing wrong with showing some pride in Allegro or the games people have made using it. If you're too ashamed of Allegro then don't buy one. If you don't have any constructive suggestions for t-shirt ideas, don't post here. If you have actual reasons you don't like it - ie. poor layout / you dislike the font choices / would like a different design - then you are welcome to post those concerns.

To those who are interested, here's the layout I used :
The image on the front is 10"X4" using the Eurostile font.
The image on the back is 10"X12" with the title text in High Tower Text font.
Each game in the grid got a 5"X5" area with a 4"X3" area for the pic and a 4"X2" area for the game title / logo. The title text on the back has a 10"X2" area.

I've made up some blank templates so I can alter things if I need to. Hopefully the 10"X12" area on the back won't be a problem - Thomas, can you verify the specs for the size on the back of a few different t-shirt styles? I made everything in 200dpi so hopefully the resolution will look good. That makes for 800px by 600px game pics which seems reasonable.

This design should look good on a white t-shirt but I would need to redesign it partially for the black texts on the front, the "HeroQuest" text and the title text on the back for dark colored t-shirts as those would disappear into the background.

If anyone likes the layout style of this t-shirt, I could redesign it for different groups of games given links to game pics in a 4:3 aspect ratio and game logos/titles in their respective fonts/designs.

So what does everyone think? Please be constructive, as comments like "That's teh suxorz!" are not welcome.

I'd wear an allegro t-shirt, but something simpler. Have some code on it or something.. maybe even just:

#include <allegro.h>

wearing a programming t shirt is just way too geeky

I'd wear the Alex t-shirt. The image could be even bigger. As it is now, it is so small it should be on the left side, not centered.
.

This is something I can actually work with, so thank you for that. As to what is possible to put on the shirt, whatever you can come up with is what we could put on it.

Here's a more colorful version of the front overlay, with some added text shadows :
{"name":"596044","src":"\/\/djungxnpq2nug.cloudfront.net\/image\/cache\/4\/b\/4ba830eaf0bd36cbb0c2a5e626abcb44.jpg","w":2000,"h":800,"tn":"\/\/djungxnpq2nug.cloudfront.net\/image\/cache\/4\/b\/4ba830eaf0bd36cbb0c2a5e626abcb44"}
Again, more ideas are always helpful.

Can you make a small example image to show me what your desired effect is?

I made up a small example of how it would look this way. Personally, I like the logos better as they help show more of the personality of the game and the time invested in them.

With text game titles in High Tower Text font (the text in the image scaled down very poorly)
{"name":"596045","src":"\/\/djungxnpq2nug.cloudfront.net\/image\/cache\/5\/c\/5cfa74490fb9d7ed8e25b06126bc0b06.jpg","w":600,"h":600,"tn":"\/\/djungxnpq2nug.cloudfront.net\/image\/cache\/5\/c\/5cfa74490fb9d7ed8e25b06126bc0b06"}

There are some images of A and Alex on this thread on Allegro logos if anyone wants to use it in their t-shirt design.

I'll be looking over http://cooltext.com/ to see if I can come up with some more ideas.

I also am in favour of a screenhack entry somewhere on the shirt.
I would not buy a shirt about programming (or anything; I wear the plainest clothing I can get my hands on), but I think it would be cool nonetheless.

Perhaps a design for the back that more people might find acceptable is a collection of 10 game logos - 2 across and 5 tall, from the top ten rated games on the depot. I'd need a list of the top ten most downloaded 5 star games first and then I could collect their logos and make a prototype t-shirt back. alleg.sourceforge.net would still be on the back in the same place.

Re : ScreenHack -
Did anyone ever vote for a winning program for ScreenHack '08?

I think it would be nice to have separate shirts - one for each competition , and maybe a couple designs for general Allegro t-shirts, instead of mixing a main allegro t-shirt with one of the competition t-shirts. Ie... If it's going to be a ScreenHack t-shirt, then on the front make it "Allegro ScreenHack" and not just "Allegro" by itself as ScreenHack only represents a part of Allegro and not the whole.
