Precisely.  The last club shirts we ran for GSAS had a large Corydorus 
catfish on them.  I don't *think* they had the logo, and if they did, it 
would have been a small "pocket-size" one.  GPAS's shirts never feature 
their logo, because it's not real fun on a shirt.  Most ACA shirts I've 
seen don't have their logo either.

The nice thing about having an original design for each shirt (and keeping 
the print run small as you are doing) is that when you sell out of one, 
you can do it all over again with a new design, and members will gladly 
buy the new shirts.  Clay and Dave I'm sure remember the REALLY old GSAS 
shirts that did feature nothing but the lionfish "logo".  Took us forever 
to clear those shirts out, and I don't think we actually DID sell them 
all.

Most do, and most suffer from one or more of the problems I noted in the 
earlier e-mail: too complex, too many colors, no identity, or in some 
cases, too amateurish.
