Infinite Summer t-shirts?

Here's a new topic to discuss the proposal raised , that of Infinite Summer t-shirts. Does anyone have any ideas for a design, or the graphical chops to create a print-ready image?

FWIW, if we (that is, infinitesummer.org) wind up being the point of purchase for these t-shirts, we will either sell them at cost or donate proceeds to a charitable cause (a literacy program, say).

I would love an IS t-shirt. I don't have an artistic bone in my body--but how about a design involving Hal's declaration, "I am in here"?

Or We are in here. what with it being a sort of social project?
I'm happy to have a play in Photoshop.

T-shirt thread reminded me of the Howling Fantods poster contest of a while back (http://www.thehowlingfantods.com/dfw/df ... -comp.html )*,** -- not that these clever takes on the fake motivational posters*** are the way to go, but that they might be a starting point for anyone out there with a new clever image/words take for a t-shirt. Also, I'm sure there are also some ideas floating around (I have one or two seedlings of ideas) that involve stuff past the spoiler line, so might be worth seeing what ideas people have as that line creeps closer to the end of the book.

*looked through them and I believe the basic ideas of all are spoiler free to the current limit. I am a re-reader: perhaps another re-reader could check the link and post to chime in on whether they think the page is spoiler free...more a matter of emphasis on one or two than of actual new spoilerish data.

**Could not find the wonderful one I saw on someone's blog a while back with a picture of the book and the caption "Yes, it's long, but is it long enough?"

***I think the original satirical posters were by these guys: http://despair.com/viewall.html

No graphical expertise, but as far as a slogan I would vote for just "Infinite Summer" on the front of the t-shirt and if you wanted to put something on the back maybe a Boston AA slogan like, "One Day at a Time" or "Fake it till You Make It" or just the word "Eschaton". Either way I'm willing to give money to charity for a spiffy t-shirt.
