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.
Alt
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.
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)
