T-shirt Design Brief

Hi! I run a Dave Matthews Band fan site, and I want to make awesome merch- these designs can go on t-shirts, tote bags, hats, etc.

I don't want to copyright the band (like use Dave Matthews Band or their logo) but I want to make fun designs that nod to their lyrics or things fans would wear to concerts. The fan base is similar to Phish or grateful dead, ~40-60 year old people. But I want to make fun new fresh designs since the merch now isn't great.

If you have any ideas please add, but these are some ideas I have:

1. I want to make a subway map, or a different map, with these places as the stops: end of the world, the warehouse, #41, 55th & 3rd, the bridge, the dreaming tree, grey street, end of the world (***grey street and end of the world need to intersect), one sweet world, the last stop. I'd also like it to say "Where are you going" as the header of the design. I attached a super vague idea but please take creative freedom here.

2. The Crush drink logo- I'd like it to be that design but say "crash into me" instead of "crush orange" . I attached the crush can logo

3. a design that says "Mom it's my birthday" - maybe a simple version and a fun version

4. I <3 DMB in the style of I <3 NY. Also, if you could make variations that say I <3 Dave, I <3 Carter, I <3 Tim

5. a design that says "eat drink and be merry" in a fun vintage design or colorful design

6. a design with the words "Tripping Billies" in a fun vintage design

7. a graphic with ants marching- need both red and black ants. You can add the words "ants marching" if you want, but also maybe the graphic standalone would be cool.

8. a design that says "deep tracks only"

9. a graphic with rapunzel that says "I do my best for you"

10. a graphic with a pig that says "don't burn the day"

11. a graphic that says "so damn lucky" maybe "so. damn. lucky." could look cool too

12. there is a lyric "I live on the corner of Grey Street and the end of the world" and id like to make a graphic representing this

13. "Bartender, Please" and maybe have a graphic with a bartender handing over a drink

14. Dave has a song called "Halloween" which is really angsty and he has one called "Christmas Song" which is very sweet. I think it would be funny to have a graphic representing the personalities of each song in a before/after or vs. comparison, like "angsty dave" for Halloween vs "sweet dave" for Christmas song.

15. I'd like a design for the song "Stay/wasting time" and It would be nice to have a graphic that has something to do with these lyrics "Wasting time
Let the hours roll by
Doing nothing for the fun
Little taste of the good life
Whether right or wrong
Makes us want to stay, stay, stay
For awhile"

Maybe something around "a little taste of the good life" or "wasting time" in a cool vintage way
