Although I'm wary about including pictures with circles within circles on a t-shirt for some reason.

If you're hinting at them looking like boobs, there are ways around that (eg full size and mostly vertical orientation). If you aren't, then I'm confused.

I like circles (or smooth arbitrary blobs) more than rectangles because side by side rectangles aren't as clear with where the overlap is (or if it's just 3 distinct rectangles), and any other orientation hints at some importance of the shape. Not that it would ruin the shirt though..

The one you linked too was actually not too bad. And yes, I was referring to boobs. Some of the others that I wanted to include were frustratingly borderline.

Circles does allow for side by side, as you say. I'm not sure whether I like the idea of the more distinctive shape of rectangles at an angle or not. I would definitely want to include letters if I was using rectangles - optional with circles.

My friend knows someone that does shirts, and can get some made for us cheaply.

If you have a particular way you'd like to see it done, you should draw it up and send it to me.
