I don't think that's possible.

Also, my version...

My personal favorite is the sub firing over the shoulder. It's just a really good design. It's technically interesting, linking both sides of the shirt. It's big and expressive, showing off the vector art style of the game. I would really love one of these.


The multicolored nukes flying all over the map is great as well. The sub takes the cake though.

Still like this idea better...

I haven't made a T-shirt pic yet but I still say a shirt that says more about the game would be better...... Say, the DEFCON name above the mushroom cloud that's on the box cover, with the words "Everybody Dies" on it somewhere, in addition to Global Thermonuclear War .. and maybe a website that gives somebody something to look up (free advertisement and more potential opponants!)

Just my two cents worth....

Well, the only "default" shirt design I like is no. 5, actually.

The biosigns are not really part of the game (N, not B), the down-headed bombers are nice, but too plain.

No.1 would look nice if the text had something other than "x Saved a Screenshot". It also has montyphy's name on it ;P

But given as I can send in my own shirt designs, I might as well give it a try. After all, I think some people liked the old Desktops I did before launch day.

My designs:
Concept1
Concept2
Concept3
NOTE I mostly use B&W for simplicity. This should make it easy to translate to other colors (White on Blue, for example).

I like them, but think they would look nicer scaled down in size.

I like them as well but just have to ask: why is the Darwinian there? :?

It's the semi-official IV logo - hence its prominence in the top right of the main site.
The logo used originally for Uplink was a stylised head with the 'rays' coming off it, and it was adapted to use the Darwinian sprite.

Just shows how much I seem to really know about IV :oops:
Thanks for enlightening me, and to the rest: carry on, nothing to see in this post :P

Ideally you would have the whole globe span the front and back of the t-shirt with the DEFCON text wherever is suitable, also a better explosion would be neccessary obviously...


They look really good and i really did not think they were going to be released in the shop but do you have any idea when they will be in uk shops :?:
