You’ve almost certainly seen those t-shirts and posters with the “ampersand” style of lists of names – these originated back in 2001 via Experimental Jetset’s design of the names of the members of The Beatles.

I had this idea that I’d love a shirt like that, with the names of the Fediverse platforms I use most often (referring back to my post about moving PeerTube instances, you’ll know I use quite a few). So, I designed one; Heidi typeset and kerned the design and vinyl cut it for me, using the Cricut Maker and heat press in the studio; and, eventually, I’d had enough expressions of interest that we went ahead and put a printed version up on our studio shop.

I’m really happy with the way this came out. I’ve also designed a few other shirts (albeit, not Fediverse-related), so those may hit the shop in the future.
