I can make a white one,  but I need illustrator help from someone

@Troy

Illustrator, as in Adobe Illustrator? 

I have CS6
Yes.  Know how to use it?  =D

I'd go for an inexpensive white. But there's something about a white shirt and black kettle that might remind me a little too much like Weber (the company) and not WKC. Colored kettle, white shirt?

And then I want a reproduction Weber apron, like the ones from the '50s or '60s. And maybe a pony too. Because I don't have a pony.
It's the iconic symbol for the backyard. It's family/friends, food and fun. What more do you need to feel everything [is] going to be all right. As long as we can still have a BBQ in our backyard, the world seems a bit of a better place. At least for that moment. -reillyranch

i was planning on doing a yellow logo on a white shirt. I'm worried about the lettering being hard to read though.

black logo and black lettering on a white shirt would be the cheapest (single color, single side)

THUNDERDOME

Ordered. Love my shirt from last year. I always get comments on it

Pony!

Yellow on white would be hard. Red seems a little much. Maybe blue, or, I don't know, maybe, uh, Green!

Black on white would be cool. The large circle on the back. More expense, but a small pocket size logo on the front.

Does the printer require  ".ai"  format?



Dude, relax your chicken.

Printers can sometimes take a PDF but you'd want to design it in Illustrator first.

Yeah, but it seems the vector work is already done. I would think it just needs a color correction. Although, now that I think about it, makes sense if the original artwork is already in  .ai        ;D


Let's get do-it-yourself blanks and have your local airbrush buddy fill in your favorite kettle color....

I think I'd better go be quiet now              8)

@Troy I'm decent with illustrator - color changes, rotations etc etc I can do no problem. I like dazzo's white with black above. Even a plain white T with just the solid black "WKC kettle" and no other text might be cool. Front could have a smaller version on the chest but with "Weber Kettle Club" underneath. So many options 8)

Thanks for the offer Gummi and Brian but turns out they do ship to OZ and postage is reasonable. It's just that dam exchange rate!!!
Thanks for organising them Troy
