Classic graphic design from great local brands
Monday, June 11, 2007
If you love hole-in-the wall local businesses and great graphic design, Desteenation has a shirt (or a hundred) for you. They go to the local bars, stores and restaurants they love (mostly in Seattle, Califormia and Hawaii so far) and license their logos or other artwork so they can turn them into unique, high-quality t-shirts. I drop into their Fremont store regularly to see what new designs they have in stock, and have sent more than a dozen of their t-shirts for great Seattle businesses like Sonic Boom records, the Tractor Tavern and Hattie's Hat to homesick friends who have moved away. (If you're worried about how they local businesses make out, they get a cut of all sales, in addition to some great free publicity).
