If I were a fan of your band I would've bought it.

Re: a draft for a band shirt?

The picture itself is great, but the logo (and the name of the band for that matter) is crap. Maybe try making something a bit more calligraphic, with desaturated colors to match the rest of the shirt.

At the very least, replace that red glow with a thick black outline or something.

Very cool, but I would do what psilomind said.

Re: a draft for a band shirt?

i agree with Stang, the text needs to fit the image, all antique and whatnot, i'd be willing to help you if you'd like.

Re: a draft for a band shirt?

I agree the text looks a little out of place, but I would desaturate the colors. You want your name to be known- find some colors that work better, and maybe a different style or font.

Right now the name stands out, but the way your name would stand out if stuck your finger up your ass and scrawled it (your name) onto the Mona Lisa (with shit). Is there some reason why you can't you put the name on Side A and your art on Side B?

Dude what in the hell do you mean by that?

Do you have plans for both sides of the shirt?
