Instead of the tux and "linux.com" on the sleeve it should be a wedge and "wedge.org"

Iron on transfers? Sure, it's even common place around here.

Basically, it's a special paper that you feed through your printer, you print the image in reverse, then iron it on to a plain t-shirt.

(I live in a town of ~30k residents, and am only a 15 minute train journey from the city of Brighton, or even only 45 minutes from London. Well connected, eh.)

Ahhhh, oh yes, it's common everywhere. I misunderstood you when I thought you meant they sell one of those original shirt. :/

Heh, sorry if I was confusing.

No, I'll make my own version of the Wedge awesomeness if they have any of the transfers in stock - they don't always, and it's weird here this weekend because of the 'wedding festivities' (yawn). I just hope I can make a suitably large image without too many jaggies... not sure which font was used for the Wedge logo (and whether I have it or not) - the gradient I can reproduce relatively easily, and the wedge shape should transfer into Inkscape's tracer fairly easily... need it big :D

The logo details were discussed in the logo topic. I'm sure Bloc has a large version of it...? Ideally it should be vectorized.

Do they work with laser jet printers?  :)

For hobbyist I agree, for employment Adobe Illustrator, sadly.

Well, I have an ink-jet printer (and have done it before on said printer) but they were out of the transfer paper today with lots of fools making t-shirts for the royal wedding ::)

Though what I might do is see how many people are interested and see about doing a proper print run with some of the folks that print comic t-shirts (I got a few friends of friends who might be interested in doing a deal - very likely looking at minimum of 12 there)
