What about incorporating Fort Henry into the design?

I feel that a computer made image would be better than using a photo, but here is a crappy representation of my idea(s)

Any chance you have the artwork for this squiggly dude?
I would love to make a window sticker for my car out of this.

Then I could be like all the cool DMB fans out there.

Do you have the artwork laying around of the Squiggly Guy from the first shirt?
I would love to make a window sticker out of that.

Then I can look as cool as all the DMB cars I pass

That looks pretty good. Have you tried all the wording in diff colours? That greyish blue looks like it might be hard to read from a distance on a tshirt.

Hey, I just showed this to my wife and son and they said that the design looks like YXY then suzanne said does that mean fans are 2 to 1 guys to girls, I had no clue what she was talking about and she said guys are Y and girls are X. so guy fans outnumber girl fans 2 to 1. hmmmmm spread the gargoyles out a bit and mabey change the size a bit so it dont look like YXY. Just an observation.

Its the default colour for that metalic "star wars" font ... Ive been using it for some gaming software I'm working on. It can be any colour though. I like the earlier igloo graphic so here is a variation ...

Yeah, I noticed the YXY thing too (although not the chromosome theme lol). Its the shape of the Gargoyle ... but any Gargoyle graphic will do ... I can send you the PPT I've messing around with if you want to make some changes that you think will improve it.

Any suggestions for lyrics? I think the "here now" thing comes from the Grace, Too outro but a longer more recognizable lyric might work better.

Not sure what Shane was thinking but it kinda reminded me of the Fort Albany Great Moon Gathering gig. Allbeit the location is well south of igloo dwellings its still a frozen tundra so I thought it was relevant.
