Unfortunately..... I'm done dicking around with spreadshirt. It's a waste of time.
I was just thinking the same thing. I know we're thinking of this as our first step towards having our own store. But I started wondering a long time ago, exactly what we're getting from it.
I don't mean to offend anyone, or put all the time that's been spent on it, in a negative light. But I wonder if we need a reality check?
Do I understand correctly that we're using Spreadshirt because it's made with open source products? If our main goal (besides experience) is for the income it might generate....well personally, I wonder if we need to be so particular?
Once we get the forum situation straightened out, I'll have more time on my hands. I'd be glad to spend it on managing a store -- as long a I don't need much coding skills to do so.
For the logo designs, I'm curious where the ribbon came from (#s 4 and 5). I've never seen that on the logo before. Not suggesting to change it, but just curious.
As long as for tshirts (not changing official logo), my vote is either 4 and 5, or 5 and 4. I really don't have a preference between them.
Thanks for your hard work on this, C R !
All best, brynn

Unfortunately there's no way to control what items and colours show up on spreadshirt for a given category. I've confirmed this with the company. It's ONE design folks. I'm done dicking around with spreadshirt. It's a waste of time. I will set it up once, and then if someone wants to try to make it better later, fine. The only condition for that is the store can not be left in a cluttered state. If you make a mess of it, it's your responsibility to test it completely make it not-a-mess again the same day. I recommend against using css hacks to hide items manually. Time would be better spent exploring better options than spreadshirt for our future merch needs.

Jabier, your third suggestion can't work, because if you remove background, and there is no contrasting offset, the drawing can't work on both white and black t-shirts. If the letters are black, you won't be able to see them on a black t-shirt. That was the whole point of adjusting the logo.
BTW I forgot to add - Spreadshirt settings:
I was able to hide color pickers from product pages, and from the product list pages! This means that the only color available for purchase will be the one you choose as default color when setting up the product.
So if you choose pink color as default for a set of t-shirts, and upload design that fits with that background, people will be able to buy only the pink t-shirt with that design.
If you want also that same design on light-blue t-shirts, you upload the design again, choose t-shirt products, and set default color to light-blue.
That is how we can use a different design for black t-shirts. So we've solved that problem of not having the control over the product background.
There can still be quirks, for example, if you choose product groups, and set default to gray, and if one product from the group doesn't come in that color, then they set it to some near color, but that near color can be black, which is not what we'd want. But we can again use CSS to hide the few offending products or be more picky when choosing product categories.
It's good enough I think to set up a small number of products and designs, and release the shop officially into the public. After that we can look out for other options (shops).

Some sugestions: * Make a option with only letters withour background in "draw fereely". * Try a alternative to a simple offset of perimeter, maybe whole in a circle or star or some kind of badge or exploding shape to inverse, keep as simpler as you can, only logo and circle/star/badge. Maybe the cirle can be a cirle gaussian. * Remove background from draw freely You undertand me? Regards.

To solve the problem with spreadshirt bringing in too many options for each design, I've made a series of designs, ONE of which will be the design to go on the spreadshirt store.
