Epicurus' Garden — Est. 306 BCE

I made myself a t-shirt and the above is the design I came up with.

Thank you for sharing this design with us! :)

I would like to see the piglet's tail be more in the shape of a string, less the shape of a knob of sorts. If you look up pictures of specifically organic free range / wild pigs, you'll see what I mean. Happy pigs have happy tails :)

Nice!

REALLY like the pig and moon arrangement, the kylix with the name.

The olive branches (?) fill the negative space nicely

Do the Φ's represent pleasure and pain? Or choice and rejection? Or... It may have been nice to have a little breathing room there.

The Athens kind of gets in the road. I had to do a double take to not read "The Garden Athens of Epicurus" or something like that

Could you put the Athens directly under Est. 306 BCE? and leave a little negative space beside Of Epicurus? Or put Athens in the key pattern ring at the bottom?

Great design! Like the fonts!l, too!

Eikadistes Can you confirm the fruit/plants are olive branches, as Don has guessed? :)

They are, indeed, olive branches. ;)
