Band Tshirt designs

PolarityMan

We're trying to pick 1 or maybe 2 t-shirt designs to get made up. Could anyone do me a favour and provide feedback on which of these designs they like the most?

The red one and the one at top left.  I like the artwork.

HAL9000

Bottom left for me. More subtle.

I have a thing for red t shirts....  so, yeah... bottom right.

The red is grim, and i wouldn't wear it if you paid me. The top left looks like vampires met the cast of Scooby Doo.

But then I’m likely not your target market, and long past the days i bought and wore band t-shirts.

King85

Bottom left for me as I prefer smaller logo stuff, it's also got a coheed style dragon fly which is always a plus imo.

Bidley

Bottom left, bottom middle, top right would be my picks.

On the bottom row the ones with the tiny logo and the red one you can’t see the band name which seems a bit self defeating. The one in between them annoys me only because how high on the chest the logo is. 

Does the very first one cost more to print because it’s more colours? 

Which leaves the other two on the top row. I think they serve the purpose best as band T shirts although maybe not the more exciting per se.

Bottom Middle.

Bottom Left for me

Top left and the red one both look best to me. Having said that, I wouldn't actually wear a 'gory' shirt. Top right in 3rd place. 

I'm not a fan at all of tiny designs.

I'm 56 and always buying band T-shirts!

If you are thinking of producing other merch as well, then smaller and simple stuff looks better, I’d go with the Logo only ( bottom left ) ...or the name in horizontal line with the logo under.

Also I would avoid different coloured letters in the name unless the highlighted letters have another meaning, when I look at them at this screen size ; ( iPad) I only see the white letters and it means even less the name does itself.

I keep reading it as Prison although I appreciate that a lot of band logos are hardly legible. 

Grunfeld

I had to look more than twice to work out the name of the band, first thought was "Rion On" and second thought was "prison".

And I think that's cos of the different coloured letters.

So if that instant recognition of band name is a consideration then maybe that's an issue.

[but I do all my writing in Courier Prime so I might not have the most useful opinion!]

For a large logo, I like the Top Middle one, though I'd have the O's in red with possibly the insects in them (The P and S in red don't show up that well in terms of the lettering). For subtle, I really like the simplicity of the Bottom Left one.

Dopesick

Top right but with the logo horizontal rather than at an angle.

If not then the bottom centre, but with the logo a few inches lower. Not sure why but the top centre shirt just reminds me of juggalos and that ain't good.

Reverend

Bottom middle the print is too high. Any half decent beard will render it invisible. 

DiscoStu

Top right and bottom left.
I'm not a big fan of massive prints. Bottom middle would have been ok if I didn't read it as PRISON every time.

Philly_Q

So that's good, we're all agreed….

Top left and the red one.
