    The M

    I like the design very much....But ya might want to be careful with the "M" it is a registered trade mark. Other then that I like it. Great colors and good composition.

    I agree. The design is well done and I very much the style of art direction, but the McDonald's logo in its unaltered form seems a bit confusing. Perhaps flip the M to a W in a classic "take that" gesture. Or somehow modify it to spell the whole word 'Message'

    Very cool design! I will reiterate, though, that MacDonalds is notoriously protective of their name and logo... they are very aggressive in litigating trademark infringement.

    Just something to ponder.

    Agree with everyone else above...great work but the McDonald's logo could lead to trouble.

    it is great.. same issue with the mac logo.. be careful abt where u going! u are trekking on super thin ice..

    one concern.. all parts of the shirt looks printable and no problem.. except for the bevelled lesun presents.. i doubt tat tat is workable on tshirt..

    and oh ya.. the shirt is gonna be super ex with the number of colors u used..

    Very nice design but again the M is an issue. I see a lot of churches using (C) and (TM) work in their advertising, in fact this AM I saw a Get Out Of Hell Free (a rip of the Monopoly game) card on a billboard for a local church and the logic behind it (it's for a good cause or it's God's work) irritates me more than the actual theft. It's hypocrisy at it's worst. Sorry for the rant but you probably expected it.

    lol, i knew yall would flip!

    this shirt was made for my husband... havent made any $ off it, and I would be flattered if Micky Ds actually saw it, LOL.

    and for ray, the shirt was printed on our home computer for heat press/iron-on, so color amount didnt matter. screen print would definitely not work for this one!!!!! ur right. and since we only made one, i saw no need for screen print.

    but thanks for the DESIGN comments!

    But for good reason...
    Someday your husband may hit the "big-time". Things like this may come back around to bite you.

    Doesn't matter if your making money or not.

    From the McDonald's Website...
    Modification or use of the materials for any other purpose violates McDonald's intellectual property rights.
    If "McDonald's" does see it, you'll know when the letter from the lawyer shows up in the mail.

    We all just want you to be careful.
