I have finally started a polo shirts line for those who can’t wear other than collars at work but want to stay cool and show off what they like, and of course, for those who simply like to wear polos at any occasion.
By now they include designs for Tessier-Ashpool—based on Neuromancer—, Weyland-Yutani—based on Aliens Movie—, Umbrella Corporation—based on Resident Evil—, and Tyrell corporation based on Blade Runner.

Those who are fans of Star Trek and even most of who aren’t recognize the Vulcan Salute.

The salute was devised and popularised by Leonard Nimoy, who portrayed the half-Vulcan character Mr. Spock on the original Star Trek television series in the late 1960s.

Although there are several designs around related to this salute, I wanted, as always, something that was elegant, something that even non-fans could wear and feel comfortable. Well, I hope I did it.

If you are a trekkie you are gonna be one of the most stylish. If not, rest assured that you will get many glances.

Go to the page in the US shop or EU shop and select your model and your color.

In the excelent novel “Snow Crash” by Neal Stephenson  one of the characters, Raven, gets a tatto with the phrase “Poor impulse Control” in his forehead, an indication that he has been arrested for committing a violent crime.

Here’s a little excerpt:

Until a man is twenty-five, he still thinks, every so often, that under the right circumstances he could be the baddest motherfucker in the world… Hiro used to feel this way, too, but then he ran into Raven. In a way, this was liberating. He no longer has to worry about being the baddest motherfucker in the world. The position is taken.

Snow crash

What makes Raven the “baddest motherfucker in the world”?

Well, these are some of the main points of his resume:

• His father was nuked twice before he was born, making Raven a mutant.
• Once killed most of the crew and passengers on a Russian nuclear submarine with a piece of glass, leaving the survivors to work in knee-deep blood.
• Can make knives from glass that are a molecule thick and can therefore slice through bulletproof fabric. They can also pass through metal detectors without being detected.
• He has electrodes in his brain that are linked to a hydrogen bomb stolen from a Russian nuclear submarine. If Raven dies, 20 square miles of landscape around him disappear.

I’m sure many people will like the design regardless of its relation with the novel and I guess that being available in “glow in the dark” is a plus. It’s a good design to wear at night.

By the way if you have read the book I’d like to know which hilarious details you liked most.

Fahrenheit 451 is Ray Bradbury’s timeless classic, frightening vision of the future where firemen don’t put out fires —they start them in order to burn books. The Bradbury classic envisions a society where books are forbidden, free thought and intellectualism discouraged and questioning authority can get you killed (Any parallels with today’s society?).

The title is based on the temperature at wich paper was suposed to catch fire and burn. Although different papers burn at different temperatures, the fact is that “Farenheit 451″ is a powerful “title” to wear on.

There’s a 1966 movie by François Truffaut but I didn’t want to base it on the film, just create a strong highly-visual impact.

The design is available in 3 colors over a variety of shirt colors depending on the product. Except for the Glow in the Dark design, red and golden yellow designs are made of Flock vynil, so it has a velvety touch.
