Trams Rights

Fellow folks at the interest-intersection of “public transport” and “queer activism” (I know you’re out there!): I had an idea for a t-shirt.

T-shirt design: a sign in the typographic and graphical style of British road signs, showing the words 'Trams rights at all times' on a background in the blue/pink/white of the trans pride flag, with an outline of a tram whose pantograph is reshaped to resemble the trio of the masculine, feminine, and combined symbols used as a trans symbol.

Do I print it? Or give up on graphic design and go back to backend programming where I belong?

    This is great. You could broaden the range with some others:
    – BI-cycle day of visibility
    – Think Dyke Think Dyker
    – PolyamourBUS (yes, it’s clumsy but multiple people can be together on the bus, right?)
    -No Entry (I’m asexual)
    – And the possibly more commercially viable HeteroLink trams in Manchester

      First thing’s first: great to hear from you, Adam! Hope you’re doing well! Drop me a catch-up email or WhatsApp sometime!

      Secondly: I love several of those. Not quite all, but enough that we should go into business making a range of gender and sexuality-affirming t-shirts together. I’m only half joking.

        With thanks to Strokey Adam for the idea.

        A sign in the style of British road signs showing a bicycle lane on the left of the carriageway by using a pictographic bicycle to the left of a white line, except the background colour of the lane is the pink-purple-blue of the Bisexual Pride flag, and the text underneath contains an extra space so that it reads 'Bi cycle lane'.

    Because people keep asking, here’s the image files for this t-shirt in a variety of formats, so you can get your favourite t-shirt foundry to print your own:

    (the original SVGs are small files that can produce perfect fidelity images of any size, but aren’t accepted by most t-shirt printing companies; the PNGs are larger files that are probably “good enough” for t-shirt printing but you’ll want to revert to the SVGs for larger prints like posters or whatever)
