No Windows, No Problems

At the end of the nineties, I and a few friends were actively spending some quality time in a student club in Helsinki University of Technology. As usually, the club was pennyless, but our visions were big. I came up with a slogan No Windows, No Problems that went well with the geekish image of the club, and we designed a T-shirt and sold them with minor profit.

Of course, I got my T-shirt, but unfortunately the printing went bad quite fast. A few weeks ago I spotted one of the shirts on a page of City magazine and started to ponder on creating the T-shirts again.

The design was really simplistic but still striking. I didn’t find any digital copies as my hard disks have died during round the world trip back in 1998 — can you imagine, two 4 GB SCSI disks stop working after been on for 33 days?

I couldn’t scan the image from my T-shirt as it was partly vanished, so I had to create a new design:

The new design is still striking, but it’s better composed and maybe better controlled. It also shows the passion better than the previous black and white logo.

As we nowadays have Internet with a lot of possibilities, I yesterday opened a shop in CafePress to get the shirts printed and delivered to whom they may concern.
