Interested in NWOBHM? (Duh!)

[MetalAges]

Thought I would suck you in with that thread title, haha.

I'm trying my hand at some Metal apparel design and would like to invite everyone to check out this design, and if you like it, please consider supporting the site by purchasing one!

I tried to come up with a design I myself would wear (and will, I ordered one) - so I hope you dig it.

Feedback?

Please feel free to spread the word around where it fits.

I find the subtekst a bit hard to read because of the font.

The font reminds me of the font on the early Iron maiden releases.

Gotcha, thanks for the feedback.

Is it hard to read because of the color choice, or size?

Font choice was definitely on purpose - get that old school vibe going.

As a side note for other shirts - you think there's a market for a killer NWOBHM Tshirt, even outside this one? Would it take an over the top Metal design or, what would you like to see for a shirt?

I find it a bit hard to read because of the jagged shape of the font.

Btw; I really like the way the fonts works on the 'NWOBHM' part.

I just think it misses the point for the 'If you know, you know.' part.

But that's probably just me.

Gotcha, thanks!

Yes it is.

But I find this design:

1. Too simple, maybe it needs a more clever catchier subtext.
2. A simple image may increase the impact of the design too (can be a pic, a drawing, etc.)

I bought one shirt from those teespring crowdfunded campaigns and it does work, and it's very good quality. A better design will increase the chances to get it done.
