Well I'm back from house hunting (with a possible house- wheeeee) and during the journey I had inspiration for a new t-shirt. I bring out one every 6 months for London Comic Con and I like this one but I wanted to know your thoughts.
The idea is that I make little planet badges which you can then pin point where ever you sit on the nebula- even if it's several places!
I'm not too happy with the title at the top- maybe it should be a bit clearer? Part of me rankles at Blue=boy and Red=female, but if I switch it around will it be weird? The plan would be to use neon screen inks so this is bright and bold.
Anyway, more comic pages coming up, just had to get this out of my head first. XD

luces I like the idea and the background very much, but the font doesn't know, what it wants to be: Scientific? SF? So- called Gender "typical"?

Tab Kimpton Ahhh, a fine point! I think something a bit more scifi would appeal to me

Chris Dangerfield Love the idea of the floating pin and the design overall. Like the suggestions already here. I agree with your concern about color norms. I think the only really obvious one is the male=blue thing. Is there any other color variant that just takes it off the obvious (I wish I knew what, but sorry...). Your work delightfully never follows stereotypes, so I think that male=blue may be what's niggling you. That said, even if you don't change a thing it looks really cool. Good luck.

Claire Robinson I love the idea! The colors are good, but I think having neon colors like bright neon blue and possibly more in-between colors showing (more purple and orange and green!) to emphasize it's not really just three categories but that they overlap and bleed together. Then the shirt can stand alone even without pins and be more blended.
