Bright Smiley Petrolhead Tee Design

I’m putting together a Go-Fund-Me T-shirt for our iconic petrolhead café and need the artwork polished into a production-ready package.

The concept is locked in: a bright orange smiley face sits dead-centre on a distressed dark-grey tee, partnered with the slogan “Save us from the tyranny of the Hartside Pothole”. The font must read modern and sleek—nothing blocky, nothing cursive—and no extra wording, logos or URLs should appear anywhere on the garment.

What I need from you
• A vector master (AI or EPS) plus high-res PNGs at print size
• Colour specs for the exact orange and grey you choose (Pantone or CMYK)
• A realistic front mock-up over a dark-grey, distressed fabric texture so I can show backers before production

Acceptance criteria
• Smiley face perfectly centred on the chest area of the mock-up
• Typeface matches a clean, contemporary style and remains legible at small sizes
• Final files arrive press-ready with bleed, safe zone and layers intact

Once approved I’ll push the art straight to the screen printer, so clarity and print fidelity are essential. Let’s make a tee that shouts personality and helps us conquer that infamous pothole in style.
