Clicked on the first link. First though: it's not the kind of clothes I would buy (I prefer to dress like this) but even if it were, the IntentionalInsights logo is wayyy too big. It masks the intended message.

In general I'm pretty not-into these. I'd prefer shirts that are more designed. Not just for me, but like, yeah, for people around me to be wearing. My impression (given the size of the logo and the omnipresent O-as-lightbulb) is that the primary purpose of these is to promote the intentional insights brand.

I don't think a smaller logo would make the shirt look more designed.

I agree 100%. Those were mostly-unrelated remarks.

Cool, thanks for the feedback. It sounds like there's a need for the shirts to be much more designed than they are currently.

FYI, the InIn logo is present only on the back of the vast majority of clothing, and it's based on advice from ChristianKi and others about the value of institutional loyalty present on the clothing. Only the clothing with no back options has the InIn logo on the front.

Please help optimize the designs of the t-shirts - more in this post. Thanks!

Indeed. That includes you (I have the comments on RSS feed so it does matter to me.)

I felt that it was a good -- what's the expression? -- teachable moment X-)
