Here's my (preliminary) design entry for the UC Berkeley School of Information T-Shirt. It's all vectorized, so can be any size and it's simply a two-color design.
There are a lot of other people who are vastly more graphically-oriented working on their designs... including kid k. (Yes, Dan Perkel, I was thinking "sinister" when I made this.)
Explanation: The bottom stuff is American Sign Language for "all your database are belong to us". I wanted the central part to be a mickey mouse skull to poke fun at the death of Disney's killing of culture... however, here I used the Misfits skull with mickey mouse ears and that might be too spooky for some people. There's a great painting of a mickey skull in the current issue of adbusters that I wanted to work from, but I can't contact the artist... all the fonts are freely-licensed fonts and the artwork is severely tortured and repurposed from CC-licensed images on flickr: thanks ohsoabnormal and bright. So, the end result will be by-nc-sa/2.0/.
This is definitely not a tame design. I can amend this design if people would rather have it one way or another... a more tame design I had been working on had a symmetrical tribal-like design in the middle using the ischool logo.
