[GreenKeys] Teletype T-Shirts :-(

[DR HOUSE]

I got permission to use the logo from the current president of  
Teletype Inc.  They make GPS units.
He said they used to be Teletypesetting Inc. and took over the name  
Teletype after AT&T dumped it.
The logos of the former Teletype Corporation are no longer registered  
to any company and so are usable in the public domain.
You will notice the absence of the ® on the logos that are printed on  
the shirts.

Good luck with your shirt project.  You will need it.

Well, I have not washed mine yet and from what I've heard, that won't  
help. I am satisfied though, as unless folks get up close and  
personal, they won't notice, especially us long in the tooth whose  
eyes are not quite what they once were.
  I have had an inkling  to produce a "T" with the *** logo for that  
group to which I belong. If there is a material (cloth) issue with  
bulk buy T's, I'd like to know about it ahead of time before just  
going in blind, which I am, as I have never done this before and  
welcome all advise.
  And, what about copywright issues with re creating corporate logos,  
no matter how past?
  Any help welcome,

I've washed mine twice - in HOT WATER with lots of soap. I think it
is the material the shirt is made out of that is the problem.

Yeah - yah can't get decent results when you're using aliens.

Did the shirts at least glow in the dark?

I told you my story - so I can sympathise with you.

I'd buy 2 - maybe even 4 - especially if the logo is BIG - like on
the shirts - but remember I got burned BIG-TIME with coffee mugs - and
I had committments upfront for each one...
