CrazyEngineers T-Shirt Draft
Here's a draft of the official CrazyEngineers T-Shirt. The art has been created by #-Link-Snipped-# and rearranged by yours truly.
Note that it's still a draft and everything's still on the computers. Your comments will help us understand what our CEans would prefer.
This is how it'd look like on the round-neck t-shirt. Considering that majority of us have chosen the Polo t-shirt, we might put it up on the back side of the-shirt.

Welcome move. However it'd be more sexy if each color has a different arrangement. You don't want to have 2 different shirts with similar designs. Either keep a design unique for a color, i.e. there'll be 3 different colored t-shirts with three different colors; or let users select the design required for the color of their choice with three designs in place. Well done #-Link-Snipped-# !Kaustubh KatdareThis is how it'd look like on the round-neck t-shirt.

Kaustubh KatdareIf the design is in white; we can have multiple dark colored t-shirts. Our struggle is to keep the price & quality balance; with more preference to the quality than the price.
I was wondering if the design looks crowded. Should we space them up or eliminate a elements? Or is okay the way it is now? -

You are looking it from the front view. Take the design to the back of a polo shirt and it'd look fine. Keep this ratio, enlarging this would mean that you'd have to remove some elements from the picture. This is a good size I believe. And if you could share the pics designed by #-Link-Snipped-#, we could give it a design try.Kaustubh KatdareIf the design is in white; we can have multiple dark colored t-shirts.

Satya Swaroop DashFirst of all, kudos to #-Link-Snipped-# who has managed to cram all these engineering elements in the best possible manner as possible. Second, the element has been incorporated on the T Shirt quite well because a portrait orientation would have occupied more area on the T Shirt and that would have looked cluttered.
Along with the while on black combo we could also go for a black on white combo. -
[Prototype]The design looks amazing. I suggest in front you put the slogan as "Proud to be a Crazy Engineer" while on back of it, just put the CE logo(covering half of the tee?) with the CE slogan.
Also it would be interesting to see T-Shirts customized to particular field of engineering in addition to this generic one. I mean, this will give some variety. -
Sarathkumar ChandrasekaranGreat work #-Link-Snipped-#
More drafts would help us to comment on detail s -
Sanyam KhuranaHonestly, I feel a lot of things occupy the logo, I mean there's just a small space where actual printing is done, so it's look over crowded to me. May be just scattering them/ removing them would help.
However, I was thinking why not give people option to choose different design, color, quality, size etc. in short, customize a tee for themselves. It would be really great. ๐ -
Ankit LitoriyaI feel like there should be a technical quote at behind related to the familiar discipline ( Branch, stream or related technical field like Electronics and computer science) looks pretty cool ..totally technical
-
lalWoh! I don't wanna see any changes from what is now there. What I see there perfectly reflects Crazyness and Engineering! ๐
Great work etrnalthinker! -
Kaustubh KatdareWe are going to onspect the quality of t shirts tomorrow. Will also have to find out whether there are any considerations from the printing folks.
Note that multiple color option may not be possible right now. If we want discipline specific designs, we will need at least 100 preorders of each design. Will confirm the details tomorrow. -
Kaustubh KatdareAddendum: will try to post a more spread out design. I am disliking the rectangular patch like layout.
-
Anoop Mathew
How about a circle?Kaustubh KatdareAddendum: will try to post a more spread out design. I am disliking the rectangular patch like layout. -
Kaustubh Katdare
Let me see. We should be able to put it up on the back of the polo t-shirt. As the Winter season approaches, I'd like to go for the Hoodie option as well. It's my personal favourite. We'll have it as a 'limited edition'.Anoop MathewHow about a circle?
As far as the design is concerned, we want to keep it a single colour; because that brings down the cost. However, if there's a demand for multicoloured art-work; we can make it too. We'll need pre-orders though. -
Anand VardhanExcuse me for the interrupting ๐p). I think this rectangular thing has quite a lot of things stuffed in. So, (according to me ๐) there should only be a small band of the logo on right hand sleeve and also on left side of chest. And this thing should be present on the back side! โ ๐
**Correction** interruption ๐๐ -
PensuFrankly, it looks too messy. I guess a minimalistic design with a good quote, something like "Proud to be an engineer/CEan", would have more appeal.
-
Kaustubh KatdareLet me try and post a different version of it. I'll also try to come up with a minimalistic version which we can use.
-
Harshad ItaliyaWhenever #-Link-Snipped-# makes a design there is very little chance you have any suggestion.
Superb design buddy as ALWAYS ! ๐ -
Kaustubh KatdareHere's the draft #2.
- Separated the elements to make the design more spacious
- Got rid of the 'rectangular patch' and scattered the elements (few elements are now tilted). The pulley has been kept verticle for obvious reasons ๐

Kaustubh KatdareGuy, keep the feedback flowing. We need it to make sure that we make the best t-shirt for you! ๐
-
Kaustubh KatdareWe've a very lukewarm response here. I think I'll trust my own design acumen ๐ to get the tee done.

Anil Jain
Very cluttered...Kaustubh KatdareThis is how it'd look like on the Polo T-Shirt {Click On the Thumbnails For Bigger Images}
Sorry, did not like it ๐ -
Anil JainWhat about just writing the Quote and the CE Logo?
-
Sanyam KhuranaWhy not something really appealing yet 'simple'.
Something really Awesome ๐ -
Ankita KatdareI guess taking everyone's opinions isn't the right way to go sometimes.
Will tag a few more CEans here anyway.
We have to remember that the design looks different when in actual print on the tee.
To give it a start - we shall go only for a generic design (one that covers all branches). Customized branch-specific ones can come later. -
Ambarish GaneshI'm in favor of minimalistic design too. ๐ This design as it is looks good, but just one element from every branch (for the generic design) should be more than enough.
Presently "CrazyEngineers" on the design is not prominent enough.
EDIT : It's one 'small' element from each branch. -
Kaustubh KatdareI think it makes sense for us to go with a generic engineer; because that's the essence of CrazyEngineers. We would look at launching discipline specific tees; but we will need bulk orders first.
-
Satya Swaroop DashThe problem with the first design (the rectangular landscape arrangement) was that all the small elements managed to be lost in the chaos because of the small design. In the second one (Biggieรขs changed version) all the elements were scattered randomly without order. If the scattering would have been done over a larger area it would have looked good.
I am also liking #-Link-Snipped-# รขs idea of putting elements in a circle. In that way all the small design elements can fit in a larger area without looking odd. -
Kaustubh KatdareOkay, let me try the circular design today. If we're to keep just one element of each major engineering branch, suggest the elements that represent your discipline.
- Electrical : Towers
- Communications: Dish Antenna or Satellite
- Electronics: Circuit
- Chemical: Beaker / Flask or Test Tube
- Mechanical: Hammer?
- Aerospace: Airplane
- Civil : Buildings or Bridges
- Metallurgy : Atom (??)
- Biomedical : Microscope (??)

Since we need 'crazy' people to 'WANT' to buy this, let me give you an idea that came into my head. You can take time with designing because it 'Has' to create 'Demand'. We can not 'afford' to not 'intrigue' on this one. This discussion has been unfortunately going on too long now.Kaustubh KatdareOkay, let me try the circular design today.

Chaos! - try this mode.
Just try one that looks like all these crazy symbols are coming out of a person's mind (an angular view of a small person with a big head on the right hand corner with a 'thinking' bubble; inside the bubble just arrange these symbols in a crazy manner i.e. make them look a bit off shape (pull a little horizontally and vertically). Outside this we can have a slogan with original CE logo (the writings can look off shape/cartoonish except the CE logo) such as:
1. Addicted to CrazyEngineers.com
2. Lost in thought at CrazyEngineers.com
3. Intrigued by CrazyEngineers.com
Request people with cartoon drawing skills to drop a bubble and a head and a pinch of cartoonish elegance to this idea. -
Kaustubh KatdareSounds good; but we'll need design heads to do this ๐ . My skills are pretty limited.

Kaustubh KatdareMany seem to be in favor of minimalistic design. We gotta strike a balance.
-
Sanyam KhuranaSo, I designed something (taking reference from Anoop Mathew's post)
But it's a little bit different. + It's a rough sketch, the idea is to show a brain, it would be darker on the sides and lightly painted in the middle, then in the middle we would have CE logo and a bunch of other elements (Didn't draw any other elements)

You did this within 10 minutes? Nice! Work on it. And try to include crazy symbols coming out of that brain. Also it will be printed white on black so try to accent it a little (darken some sides to make a sort of 3D effect)Sanyam KhuranaSo, I designed something (taking reference from Anoop Mathew's post)

Kaustubh KatdareUpdate: We inspected the quality of the t-shirt material and I think we've a winner in terms of quality. The pricing seems good too and we'll be able to offer some concrete information about the price of t-shirts once we've finalised the design.
The round-neck t-shirts offer more design choices and lower price too; but the demand seems to be more for the POLO t-shirts. -
Keerthivasan RavisankarWhy can't you arrange and make everything forms a layout of CE?
so that it looks like CE when you look from distance. Keep every stuff that are found in current design.๐จ๐ -

Sanyam KhuranaFor our CEans like #-Link-Snipped-# , a t-shirt with quote
"Bow Before Me, For I'm ROOT" would look cool, I guess. ๐ -
Kaustubh KatdareWe do want to make discipline specific t-shirts and boy we do have a great collection of quotes. But for the CE official t-shirt; we're going with a 'general engineering' t-shirt, that anyone can wear.
