H. P. L. Posted September 26, 2013 Share Posted September 26, 2013 This is strictly a fan project, so I hope the Mods are Ok with it. I'm making this for myself only, I'm not posting this to sell it, so don't PM me saying "pls make one for me too". That goes for you too, Goober. In the old days you could make your own Rush denim jacket with only a couple of markers and no one raged about copyright, so I hope no one will come on up to me saying I'm robbing the band (I'm buying VT for the second time!). But I know someone will. Anyway, I'll be sporting this killer shirt and you won't. :P :P http://img708.imageshack.us/img708/7986/sfmh.jpg 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
puffyshirt Posted September 26, 2013 Share Posted September 26, 2013 Very cool! I think i'd prefer it without any of the text though. Especially the "Vapor Trails Remixed" text. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been thinking about it but in the end I prefer it with the text. It's a RUSH tee and it has to say it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ShlappinDahBass Posted September 26, 2013 Share Posted September 26, 2013 I kind of like it with the text! I like to flaunt my Rush fandom. Make two versions. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
presto123 Posted September 26, 2013 Share Posted September 26, 2013 It does look smoother and less distorted than the old VT T-shirts 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
USB Connector Posted September 26, 2013 Share Posted September 26, 2013 Looks great! I'm surprised a high enough resolution of the image exists to print onto a shirt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm surprised a high enough resolution of the image exists to print onto a shirt.Well, you can print even a low res if it's big enough. The result is fine. I mess around with the images and so far I've always gotten good results. Anyway I'll let you know how this turns out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

losingit2k Posted September 26, 2013 Share Posted September 26, 2013 Awesome, but I would rotate the comet 90 degrees clockwise. Yeah this. The comet is going the wrong way. Its not a comet. Its the Earth after a comet impact! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jamie Posted September 27, 2013 Share Posted September 27, 2013 I want a Vapor Trails shirt so bad, but they're hard to find for some reason. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slack jaw gaze Posted September 27, 2013 Share Posted September 27, 2013 With the image rotated it looks more like melting ice cream rather than a vapor trail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HomesickAlien Posted September 27, 2013 Share Posted September 27, 2013 http://i.imgur.com/GXR5IKp.png It's a sphere of molten metal! :haz: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
H. P. L. Posted September 27, 2013 Author Share Posted September 27, 2013 I've rotated the sphere in every conceivable way, and this is the best IMHO. The original "passing" sphere suggested too much of a "passing" concept that I didn't like. As well, the sphere coming down sent a crushing feeling, like something falling, crumbling. This way, I see it as a rising bolt of magma, molten metal, something coming up and exploding.But I can see the point of those who say it's something melting.

Well, the meaning of the album title, and really much of the lyrical content of the album, is about "passing". So, you tried having the comet going up and to the right (rotating 45 degrees clockwise)? It's your shirt and it looks amazing—I'm just throwing out suggestions. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're perfectly right about the concept of the original album, but this new version for me is attached to the idea of potential fully blooming, so that's what I wanted to express. Going up at 45° suggests something going up but bound to come down. So it just looked weak.Anyway, it's in printing now, we'll see how it turns out.
