I've had this t-shirt design on my mind for the past few weeks, but never got around to it till tonight. Here's what i've come up with:
IN WHITE PRINT
(IMG:http://i62.photobucket.com/albums/h88/danlo830/EATSLEEP914W-B.jpg)

OR

IN BLACK PRINT
(IMG:http://i62.photobucket.com/albums/h88/danlo830/EATSLEEP914.jpg)

Examples on a t-shirt (generated images):
(IMG:http://i62.photobucket.com/albums/h88/danlo830/WhiteSample.jpg)
(IMG:http://i62.photobucket.com/albums/h88/danlo830/BlackSample.jpg)

And the process i went through to get to this design:
Drawn w/ pencil and then penned in:
(IMG:http://i62.photobucket.com/albums/h88/danlo830/914drawing.jpg)

Traced in Adobe Illustrator to get the fine thick lines:
(IMG:http://i62.photobucket.com/albums/h88/danlo830/914outline.jpg)

Please throw me your feedback, any suggestions are all welcome! I will be making these shirts w/ Oldschool (Jaime) i will be personally printing these shirts myself so i hope that lowers the overall cost of the shirts in the end.

At the moment i'm not sure about the following:
- what font to use?
- what colored shirt?
- what colored print?
- do i need to round the 914 image a bit?
- should there be wording on the front?

Those are cool. Wished I'd have thot of it... damn!
As for the font, what you've used looks like what I've seen on information signs on the highways. Looks like the real thing. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beer.gif)

Looks very good (politically correct)??? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

Quoted from clubnarp.com by SECHSER (Jack):

i like it dude, it's looking pretty cool! i could see it being a good exercise to make that 914 as geometrically simple as that burger, and still looks as an obvious 914. i guess it's a good chance for you to show how you could capture that 914ness.. i wonder how the rear view and the side view look like as well. oh, dig that super ultra 911 font man!! this will be a good entrance portfolio piece to get into art center tho

So i tried simplifying the 914 and here's what i came up with. Let me know what you guys think:

Nice. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wub.gif)
I liked the 914 as you originally had it. You might square off the tires a bit on the bottoms.
I'll take 2 Large black ones, please. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Alright, so:
- square off the tires
- keep the original 914 design

But?
- what colored shirt? i could probably do a few different colors.
- is the "Eating and sleeping optional" okay?
- is the Porsche font on the back okay?

This is awesome feedback, thanks guys!

I like the idea a lot. However, personally, I prefer large graphics on the back of a shirt and small, chest pocket-size on the front. What if you stacked the .....eat, sleep, 914 type on the front and used the icon graphics on the back? JMO.

My personal preference is the original white one. I'd definitely be in for one on a group buy! Very cool. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/shades.gif)
