In photoshop, you can download free "brushes" and "custom shapes" -- a lot of the clip art I'm using are really just the brushes and custom shapes...they are like stamps...really easy to use, resize, etc. So I do think it makes it faster because I'm not searching for clip art specifically in most cases. I have an ETSY shop where I do graphic design (wedding monograms, birth announcements, invitations, etc.) so my photoshop set up is pretty kitted out because of that.

Or maybe they'll ask for a cut - perhaps if you suggested a donation to their foundations for every sale. It's such a positive representation of the groups - I think licensing is mainly about controlling the "brand" - i.e. what sorority wants their letters on a thong? - so I'll cross my fingers. I need Gamma Phi fabric!

I'm pretty sure the first time I saw the ASA print, the link came from our HQ, so you never know. I think it was made by an ASA, though, so it might make a difference there, but it might not.

Some Gamma Phi Beta love...

I'm going to send an email to FHQ, so we'll see what they say about the Alpha Xi prints.

^^ Love the KD print! :D

WhiteDaisy, if you're getting bored ;) feel free to try your hand at an Alpha Phi design (ivy, forget-me-nots, lilies-of-the-valley, Ursa Major...lots of possibilities!).

I love your designs, BTW. I wish I had 1/100th of your creativity!

LOVE the Gamma Phi print!

LOVE LOVE LOVE the AOII design!!! finally something that incorporates the sheaf of wheat (pandas are cute, but i'm suffering from panda overload)

I just love when designs get the sheaf of wheat in... it always looks so pretty!

I think you'd probably have problems getting rights to the crests, but using the symbols and letters could be okay - more okay if you are not using them to make a profit.

Here's my own rather pitiful attempt

That's not bad for a first attempt!

I also wonder if the percentage that Spoonflower allocates for the designer could be sent to the respective Fraternity/Sorority? I imagine it would depend on how they display what amount came from which fabric, if that's how they do things…but then if the designer sent that on to the respective organization's philanthropy, surely the organization could get behind that?

Perhaps if it became enough in demand, Spoonflower would set up a section specifically for Greek fabrics? :cool:

Got bored. :p:)
