    Maybe better on the back, "streetfighters.com.au" below it,
    Maye better as a simple white on black line drawing,
    Maybe use JUDGE or BRUTUS,

    Hey Tony, welcome to the wonderful world of T-shirt designing and pain.

    Full colour prints like that for the small number we would order would be $50 plus and done digitally. To use screen print you need to use one to 3 colours for a successful print, different percentages of that can give different colour effect. Hang on, you used to work in print, you know all of this. So you'd also know that to screen print a black bike on a black shirt would'nt work either as it would need to be reversed into white, and that doesn't work. Just like doing the logo on a White short would mean completely different plates as they would all be reversed as well, but then the black bike would work!

    Turning that into a line drawing would mean every bit of it would have to be redrawn from scracth and would take hours. Who's keen for that job?

    Full on headache and I'm starting to remember the pain now!

    By no means knocking you mate, but this is the brick wall I always hit when doing these.

I really can't distort logos either, it's against my rules as a graphics geezer. Ask Nigel!
    No not necessarily lose anything.
    What i meant was the ASF Logo is kinda square, i was wondering if it could be made longer left to right, but not as high. I didn't know if you could put things to take up more space left to right, rather than a big block in the middle.
    I confused you, and yet you still answered my question.
    more titanium than my bike

    No problem,
    I thought there might be some trick with paint or photoshop
    that pic's out the highlights and then they could be reversed,
    im not very clue'd up on this.
    Colour prints often look a bit like tacky tourist shirts off the sea front,
    the white on black is a much stonger design anyway.

    Yea, sorry mate. What I meant was the letters (ASF) at the height and width as they are recognised as the ASF logo. The bike has been used and not used in some renditions and the text underneath has definitely gone before. So my point is, if I remove the bike it will seem higher as I've reduced the width. If I remove the text underneath it will appear wider. I can't physically distort the ASF letters as that is the identity. If it's squashed or widened it is no longer the logo. See my point? Any suggestions without distorting the ASF letters and I'm all ears.

    Mate I think that makes no diff with the heat ink thing my mate does from what I understand the number of colours makes little diff.
    Most T's are not screen printed now days.
