Need a "Kill the elephant t-shirt"

I am looking for t-shirts that make fun of the Mammut logo, the Mammoth. Living in Switzerland, the Mammut logo is everywhere. Every rock gym is sponsored by them, every climbing t-shirt has their logo, it is on the shopping bags you get when you buy something at the gear shop…

Their logo is so prevalent, you would think there was no other maker of climbing equipment. Do not get me wrong, their stuff is always nice, and often overpriced for the quality. But do I really have to see their logo everywhere?

I was thinking of an image showing a bunch of hunters carrying spears tipped with the Black Diamond logo attacking the Mammut Mammoth.

Dunno where to get one, though.

jmvc -
Yep, just pulled the logos from the respective sites (hence the low res.) and used a loop design tool to make a cave-man-ish drawing. Took two minutes, but it was just for a laugh.

If they really want something to print on a shirt, I would take more time and morph/alter the logos a bit to avoid copyright problems.

cheers

Dude, it's satire...

I'd add in a few more, maybe some GNA axe "snowflakes" and perhaps the Metolius guys throwing the axes...should all of this action be happening atop a north face?

Nah, you'd lose the artistic effect with saturation.

i personally like the design the way it is. adding more stuff would just add clutter and make it less obvious.

Higher Res option with no copyright problems if OP really wants to print it up. That's all I have time to do. Feel free to copy and paste more of the little guys if you want. Thanks for the idea. It was entertaining!

I love it! Now, is it high enough resolution for me to get one of the local shops to print it on a t-shirt?

I wonder what the Swiss will think. They are normally pretty quiet, but they stare a lot. Anyways, I might get some good comments!

Thanks for the work.

heh heh Wink

It should print big enough for a medium sized heat transfer or screen. Original doc fits A4 landscape, but jpeg images lose res when I upload. I'd love to hear how it goes!
