Speaking of the color green and kale, I made this:
If you click this here hypertext, it will take you to Zazzle, where you can put the logo on a t-shirt. If you purchase a shirt, I will make 10% of the whatever you pay. That money will be donated to the vegan education efforts of the Animal Rights Coalition (click on that link - they have a sweet new website).
The idea for this design came when I read 7 Reasons Kale is the New Beef on the Huffington Post.
I get a kick out of the love for kale that many vegans (present company included) espouse. They treat it the same way that unfeeling hipsters treat bacon. It's a cheeky reverence that is matched only by our worship of nutritional yeast (which even has a cool nickname: nooch).
But the reverence makes sense, too. James McWilliams has written a great post: Let them Eat Kale (and Quinoa): Richard Oppenlander Offers a Brilliant Critique. I suggest going over there and reading the whole thing (it's not long). And read the rest of his posts while you're at it. He has a refreshing and powerful way of conveying the ideas and logistics of animal rights.
McWilliams' post makes the Only Kale Can Save Us Now shirt, from Herbivore Clothing Company, ring all the more true. Check out the design on that shirt. My little thing took ten minutes in photoshop. Theirs was done by someone who actually knows how to create beauty from scratch. If I were you, and I was making a choice between my shirt or their shirt, I'd pick theirs. Go ahead. I won't be offended.

Ain't that the truth!
Awesome logo, Al.
Nice design! James McWilliams' blog has moved... Here's the link to the "let them eat kale" article: http://james-mcwilliams.com/?p=560
Thanks Therese! I knew he had moved, but I didn't think to update the link.
