our first test t-shirt had the civ3 city view in the front, but, well, you know, it's firaxis "material" 
now here is something interesting for the legal experts: is a screenshot of a game that you are playing (and which you have payed for) something that belongs to you or to the company?
Lancer, i'm just trying to help out
DarkCloud, but you continue to "keep visiting" until today. if you "kept", it would mean that you stopped, right?

 That sounds like a "Fair Use" arguement. I would imagine that the deciding factor is selling the image. It would be okay to for your own use, but distributing and/or selling the art would probably bring out the "sharks." I wonder if ACS could get free permission to use the artwork (screenshots, ect) with prior aproval of the end result. You could argue that it is free advertising for the respective companies.
BTW, if you open a satanic organization and web site, don't use any Apple logos or art!

Great job Markos & Dan!  We've all been waiting for this for a long, long time. Good to see the Civ1 intro and 2 of the quotes I suggested got their own T-shirt
BTW, didn't you promise a while ago that certain people (columnists, important modmakers, etc) would get a free T-shirt when they'd become available? 
Those shipping costs are indeed extremely high!  I did some calculating and came to the conclusion that all things considered (T-shirt/shipping/money exchange), it would cost me about 90 guilder ($35) to buy a single T-shirt, almost 3 times the price of a normal T-shirt around here (and about equally expensive as Civ3 will be when hits the Dutch stores). I would certainly be willing to pay more than the normal price for an Apolyton T-shirt but I'm not sure if it's worth that much money (I'm only a poor student, I can hardly pay my bills as it is!)
But I too am no stranger to the Dutch merchant spirit, so I came up with a way to lower the price a bit, at least for the Dutch Apolytoners We could pull together and buy our products together, sharing the shipping and money exchange costs. One person could order the goodies for all Dutchies interested and pay for them in advance. Once the goodies have arrived I could use my 'OV-Jaarkaart' (which grants me free access to train & bus) to personally deliver all goodies to their owners and collect the money without cost (could take me a full day or more but I for one wouldn't mind: I may not have money but I do have plenty of time  ). If enough people are interested we could save as much as 25-30 guilder ($10-13) per person per shipping If anyone working/living in the Netherlands (or close to the Dutch border) is interested, please post here or send me an email.

Well, why don't you contact that particular company you're thinking about and ask them straight-away if they would mind? Even if it's illegal, there would be no problem if they don't mind and promise not to sue

Not me, but I do agree: the Microsoft logo would be a much more appropriate

Attachment: 
", the "Church of Satan" (Anton LaVey's cronies) had a picture of LaVey with a snake and the caption "We think TOO different!" along with the usual "Made with a Mac" and Apple logos on the site (picture is still there). Apple thought it was an embarrassment to the Apple name and goodwill and sent lawyers to storm the gates of hell to force them to remove Apple logos. The picture is at the bottom of the site home page and also has a LONG explanation of the silliness. BTW, I heard about this from reading Mac sites; I don't frequent the "Church of Satan" web site - well not daily!
