Knife Related (Thinking of T Shirts and want some input)

Having worked in design for years, and done several t-shirts, I think your logo is suffering from the text. The knife itself is a great image for the front of the shirt.

What is the purpose of the shirt? Is it to advertise your website more then your company? What is your target wearing audience? IE employees, customers, ext. Are you well known in your community as a company?

Less is often times more when it comes to t-shirts.

Thanks for the feedback. Also having design background and in design line of work for about 15 years I understand less is very much more. My logo isn't the knife image at all. I am going for as much information in as simple of a way as possible. My makers mark would not stand out as knife related to anyone that did not know what B.Goode is

The knife in the image is a pattern that has sort of become a style I am know for so it gives a fast reference point as to what the product is. I don't make folders or complicated looking knives.

The website is strictly information to me that states "your out there" and "visable" to those looking for you so to speak.

Thanks for the feedback friend and I don't mean to sound harsh at all but sometimes less can leave you uninformed. The hard part about design is combining both.

The best designs morph from other beginings and adding and subtracting different variables is how I get to where I want to be.

Discussion like this gives me a more rounded view than I could get own my own.

I hope I explained why I wanted some items of advertising that will be informing to those who don't know me at all.

Maybe I can sneak the website way down at the bottom back along the lower 1 1/2"???? That sort of area is what I normally like in printings I have worked on.

Damn- didn't mean to get long winded guys

You weren't harsh.

What about moving "custom knives" to the back then? Or, what if one of the areas of text was on the handle of the knife and in a smaller font?

Just a thought.
