That logo is beautiful. If it's not too much work to change, I'd be in favor of it over the current backside.

I guess to me, the rope is the most troubling part.

Those that are polite enough to listen long enough to hear what the site's about
won't
shouldn't be offended by the imagery.
And those who don't listen or still
are
offended because OMG LYNCH aren't gonna go out of their way to boycott the site anyway.

Your quandary however is far simpler. If you personally don't feel that it's appropriate... don't get one.

racial sensitivity from the guy who posts the n word around as a "joke."

anyway, obviously this misses the point. I'm not offended by it because I can put it into context. I've never made the argument here that we shouldn't be "lynching" people or whatever because it's a silly game and we lynch mafia. What I'm warning about is the perception of other people around who aren't involved in the game. I think that's worth pointing out at the very least. The flip side of what you're saying is that if you don't care about what I've brought up, by all means buy it. I think the art is pretty cool, as I stated before. But a lot of times it simply doesn't occur to people that what they wear or say might be interpreted poorly, and this was an attempt to shine some light on that possibility.

Yeah I actually had that thought too, zoraster. >.> It's cute because I know what it means, but it's a little wtf to outsiders.

Catching up on questions:

I am not 100% on this, but in theory, we should be able to offer the same design on multiple styles (even brands) of shirt, as well as print some without a front graphic, or back text. Maybe even print the text on the front and nothing on the back. The important thing is that there is only one setup. (However, it's also possible that any/all of that will affect bulk pricing.)

Anyway, yes, they do offer v-neck options (men's or ladies') for comparable pricing. They also offer hoodies/sweatshirts/etc. but those are significantly more expensive, and probably off the table for first run.

springlullaby's logo is awesome, and I'm asking whether she's ok with us using it for this. It's a little late to be switching designs, but we'll see.

This is not racial sensitivity. And the n word
is
a joke.
Stop trying to start an argument when all I was doing was presenting a solution.

Also, I'd be cool with either logo, but Spring's is really good.

We're working on a more final version of spring's logo in site ideas and the art forum, I think we'll have something soon that people are happy with.

As long as that front logo stays I'll be happy. I really like that.

It'd be nice if the front logo was replaced, too.
