    I get it, but am afraid most won't. I really hate having to explain my clothing to others.
    I don't think it will be a good seller, but what do I know?

    I don't get it myself. I was taught that ∞ was used for mathematical potential infinity. It's only recently that I've seen tattoos and your t-shirt design using ∞ to mean "forever". Where does this come from? I ask because it seems that I'm now seeing it everywhere.

    I like it. I'm not 100% sure I would buy* it, but if I owned it I would certainly wear it.

    The saltire imagery didn't click with me until it was mentioned. It might click more quickly if "Scotland" were moved along the curve in the direction of the S so that where the lines cross, you still have two white lines crossing rather than one line and one word?

    That may but the text too far into the loop though.

    Just a thought. Overall I like it and think it's fine as-is, just spit-balling since you asked



    *not due to the design, just due to my clothing-purchase tendencies.

    Paying attention and school were words not often used in the same sentence when concerning me at that particular time of my life!

    It's imaginative, and a little nerdy, but I got it. I rarely wear anything with any kind of statement blaring from it, but I'd wear a shirt like this occasionally. However I'm pretty sure it would have to be explained often by wearers. Perhaps it would be a little more to the point if the ∞ were horizontal, and not inclined. In my experience, and that's all I have to go on, but I have laid out a lot of pages, words used in design are somewhat easier to read if they start high and end low. When they start low and end high they are somewhat harder to read. Still, your design speaks well.

    Like it, but the infinity symbol "works" better for me when horizontal. Otherwise it's Ate Scotland! Or Eight Scotland! not sure.
