New T-shirt/poster Design -

It's super sweet, J L!

I'm no expert on this kind of stuff but I believe the simpler the better for t-shirt design. I suggest replacing the long sentence with simply "Turtle Love" in large "happy" letters. Or even better make it a separate version, give buyers the choice.

I guess the point I was trying to make is that many people fear and dislike snakes and lizards, but nobody is scared of a turtle. Guess it doesn't work. Maybe I should drop the text altogether.

JL.

That turtle is Adorable !!

Perhaps, you can give it a name.

And create a series featuring this wonderful animal

Hi JL,
My focus went to the cute turtle and the idea behind it, not the length of the text, but if you wanted less text, it could be shortened to:
Turtles - one reptile everyone loves OR
Turtles - a reptile everyone loves

These are great suggestions and comments!

But now I'm really wondering if I should drop the text altogether. If the design is strong enough without it...

Diane, someone at another forum who saw my design also commented on the length of the text. Your suggestion to shorten it to "Turtles - a reptile everyones loves" might well be an improvement!

How about?

Turtle-THE Lovable Reptile

I prefer it

How about 3 different versions?

No Words at all
Turtle love
and
The one you already have
and let the customers decide

Thank you again, everyone.

How about one version with just the turtle, no text, and another version with the turtle, and underneath him, the words:

the one reptile
everyone loves

Better?

Wonderful image so cute
With or without words.
Just super sweet.

Three versions are better than one. People like choices.

I think David K has the right idea. Less is better than more in the text.

I also think it needs just a little something more like some filigree or design added around the entire bubble.

Several versions of most of your designs would give people more choices and keep them shopping in your gallery longer.

Cute turtle! I agree with David's less is more idea when it comes to the text. A few versions with text, no text, different text would be a great idea to offer. Let the buyers decide.
