For some sites it can be important to have a short and snappy domain name. Long and complex URLs are also out; better to hide your technology, better for branding on social media (prone to URL shortening) and looks less spammy. So, although this looks nice – I have to ask whether this link is […]
The Popfunk interview
Popfunk is a t-shirt design company with a particular geek appeal; even as I write this intro I can see designs for I Dream of Jeanie, Labyrinth and Batman tees decorating the front page. There’s even an Axe Cop section. We plotted – what might Popfunk be able to offer that might interest our savvy […]
Sex or gaming?
Oddly, this t-shirt was shown to me in a discussion as to whether gamers are easy to pull. I was on my mobile phone at the time and the image was small – but I got the message. However, I thought the final panel showed the gamer at his PC doing… well, doing something else. […]
Portal t-shirt: Protected by Turret
There’s a lot to be said for wearing Portal clothes. It’ll help other geeks step forward out of the crowd and say hello. Well, actually, they’ll probably point at your chest and say; “Hey! Cool”.

That happened with Cave Johnson versus the Mantis Men. It sounded like there would be Mantis Men. So, […]
Happy Tau Day – 6.28 to you
Today is Tau Day. You need to think of the American way of putting the month before the date to get 6.28.2011 before that really makes sense. Tau Day isn’t just a “Hey! Look. 6.28 is a rounding on Tau” gimmick. There are maths geeks out there who really think there’s too much focus on […]

Matt Needham, aka Spiritgreen, makes sure that Geek Native knows when his latest design is about to feature on a “design a day” site. This time round we’ve a “By Wandlight” t-shirt that features some familar scenes. Needham said; This magically illuminated scene is inspired by some of the key monsters from the Harry Potter […]
Cats of Thunder… or Thundercats?
There’s a lot to be said for this designn by Chris Thornley. Thornley runs Raid71 and seems to have produced material for the likes of NME, Levi, Fortean Times and even Lego. I was impressed with Fortean Times as a client – even more geek impressed to see that he’s worked with Lego. His four […]
