Beijing Olympics Logo T Shirt

Liberal Conspiracy has pointed out that Amused Cynicism has tried to have its own version (a different one than mine to clear up any confusion) of an Olympics T Shirt printed at an online clothing retailer.
However, the retailer has, unsurprisingly, taken it down.
update I did post a comment on Liberal Conspiracy some time ago but, considering there have been subsequent comments, it seems ~~that LC has either decided not to post it~~ or (because it had two links in it) maybe an anti-spam bot chucked it out.
I’ve dealt with several online retailers and knew the design would be deleted if I tried to have my own design (below) printed.
That’s why I produced an extremely large version for anyone who wanted to take the file along to a high street retailer and have it printed on their own shirt.
However, if anyone can have several printed and make no profit whatsoever from it, I’d be happy with that.

Here’s a link to several different versions of the image, plus the T Shirt file.

and here’s where I first posted it one year ago.

Please note that the comment I make in the first post is about a notorious commercial clothing retailer and nothing to do with AC’s shirt.

If you were to visit Amused Cynicism, you will see that our designs are pretty similar.
Not a surprise really. The Tank Man image is so iconic, that it was bound to crop up a few times in Beijing Olympics images.
It wouldn’t surprise me if there is a similar image out there somewhere that predates my 2007 picture. I saw one a while ago (a few months after I devised mine – ooooh defensive!) and think that ~~it was produced this year~~.
update I’ve had a look around the web and found the source of the version I saw recently and it was created in 2006!.
It’s on a Taiwanese site, so full credit to them for being first off the mark.
