Any design ideas? I can throw a few bucks at getting it all professional-like if we come up with a design concept, tagline or slogan, etc. Probably cannot include the full-blown Weber logo due to copyright.
We need a gas grill t-shirt

You might be sorry you asked.
I have several available for sale here, only one of which is specfic to the TVWBB forum: https://represent.com/store/the-virtual-weber-bullet-merchandise
And all of these have been offered at some point in time, most for our annual WSM Smoke Day event over the past 16 years. None of which are specific to gas grills.
In no particular order:

Whew! That's a lot of t-shirt designs over 22 years! But only four for the TVWBB forum, and none specific to the gas grill. That needs to change!
I did a few of them, but most were done by the very talented Patrick Carlson of bbqlogos.com.

I know we can't use the Weber logo, but do you think we can get by with a graphic of an early Genesis?
I am still tinkering with the name I am going to use. I have been toying with "This Old Grill," but finally decided that the name and my logo were just too close for comfort to This Old House. I sure don't need a "Cease and Desist" letter from Norm Abram!
My new idea is "My Old Grill." I don't see how anybody could object to that, but I did plan on using the graphic of a Weber grill, It will be small enough that the Weber logo will be completely unreadable:
If we PhotoShopped out the entire logo, do you think we could use this on a TVWBB Gas Grill T-Shirt?

Chris, why not contact Weber to see if they would allow this one off? Companies and products love additional exposure. I like the images above and of course they are charcoal and smoker oriented but would really like to see the Weber logo incorporated if possible. However Weber does have their own line of apparel so I guess it might be a conflict. I understand no one wants any legal trouble. (My preferences are Smoke Day IV and XII logos.) The designs are limitless. I would recommend asking questions as to what type of message you want to get across, which would give you an idea of imagery. Is this a general Weber gas grill tee? I also recommend the simpler the better, images that are too busy loose effectiveness. A good example are the racing or event shirts that are filled with a huge amount of artwork. Those are way too busy for me. However I am a minimalist. Silk screen is better quality than printed and make sure you have a good quality shirt like Hanes or FTL Beefy T. Fun topic here!
