Design a T-shirt Competition

My idea would be something like two gem sockets and an orb of fusing. The catch phrase would be something like "linking together".

Maybe I find some time later to do a rough sketch =]

A design I would also find pretty cool is a shirt in the style of those rock band's tour shirt. For those who don't know what i'm talking about, this is an average exemple: https://i.imgur.com/7yQ7u5Z.jpg

On the front it would have the logo of the game (the most recent one, so the war for the atlas one).

In the back it would read as follow:

Path of Exile Wraeclast Tour:
Anarchy/Onslaught 08/06/2013
Domination/Nemesis 23/10/2013
Ambush/Invasion 05/03/2014
Rampage/Beyond 20/08/2014
Torment/Bloodlines 12/12/2014
Warbands/Tempest 10/07/2015
Talisman 11/12/2015
Perandus 04/03/2016
Prophecy 03/06/2016
Essence 02/09/2016
Breach 02/12/2016
Legacy 03/03/2017
Harbinger 04/08/2017
Abyss 08/12/2017
Bestiary 02/03/2018

Of course this list can (and should) be customized with the logo for each league. This list can also be seperated in three: Wraeclast Tour, The Awakening Tour, and The Fall of Oriath Tour, but I'll let someone with actual design skill come up with something looking good :D

Just this, at the Front. The Background Color is of course optional, I just personally prefer Black.

(Finally made it to make the Picture appear! Yays!)

Design rationale:

I wanted to capture Lovecraftian ideas with this t-shirt. The essence of Lovecraft is madness, delusion and confusion, a mix of fantasy and reality, often with hopelessness. I wanted to express this as simply as possible.

There are two interpretations here. One "in game (fantasy)" the other "out of game (reality)":

In game, we have the torment of Oriath/Wraeclast; confusion, terror, the plot and themes present in the game shown through the faces on the Orb. The text is of course a reference to Zana, and the madness evoked in the War for the Atlas/mapping.

Second is the player's experience as a gamer in reality: "just one more orb", a compulsive/addictive gameplay which centers upon the loot cycle. The text in this interpretation, refers to the player as an exile from "real life" able to enter the fantasy of the game, with all the sleepless nights and addiction it brings!

The word "Exile" is deliberately prominent as it is this label which the in game and out of game interpretations share, through the act of gaming: the player is an exile in Wraeclast in reality and in fantasy. After all, the merging of fantasy and reality is the essence of what Lovecraft sought to create.

Finally, I wanted to pose a question on the t-shirt as it kind of acts as a dialogue opener between wearer and reader!

Exalted variant (my preferred):



Chaos variant:



Apologies my design skills aren't great! Font is a placeholder: Final should use the Path of Exile font (whatever that is!)

Also, I vote for any t-shirt that has links on it. Love that idea!

I think a shirt with the major antagonists of the game would actually be really cool, have them layered overtop of each other kinda like a team photo would be but vertical instead of horizontal because of the shape of the shirt.

I'll look at doing some terrible photoshop work tomorrow as it is very late here but...
My idea would be Brutus, Fairgraves, Merviel, Piety, Dominus, Kaom, Daresso, Doedre, Maligaro, Shavronne, Malachai, Kitava, Tukohama, Abberath, The Brine King, Solaris, Lunaris, Izaro (with Argus and the Goddes of Justice), Shaper, Elder, Atziri, and Rigwald.
A lot of these have opposites, Lunaris/Solaris, Shaper/Elder, Kaom/Daresso... I think the symmetry would look nice on a shirt, and there are enough of them that you wouldn't need to have blank areas on the shirt.

Anyways until tomorrow...


what about zana atlas Smash? that atlas efekt is cool and on shirt it can looks nice
