Looking deeper, I find that they don't have any Buckaroo Banzai, Blue Blaze Irregular, or Yoyodyne Propulsion shirts.
My bank account is safe.
For now.

I've made a few shirts like these, because they are rare finds.
Speaking of which, the only vaguely legal language I can find is the tiny "No breach of copyright intended" on the bottom, which doesn't convince me that this business has secured the necessary rights for any of this.
Which means you might want to get your orders in quickly.

Great company. Bought the Shining shirt a few years back.

My first thought was Energy Corporation from Rollerball (left chest on a nice polo would make it very understated), but alas. Off World Colonies is pretty cool.

I know it's wrong for me to obsess about it, but some of these teeshirts bother me because of their anachronistic typeface choices. For example, Lubalin Graph was designed three years after A Clockwork Orange came out.

New England, USA? Heh. New England's not a state...
(Lest you think I'm hating on these guys, I really like the HAL 9000 shirt - and I forgive the font choice.)

Jesus, I've been looking for about 10 seconds and I've already found a Dapper Dan shirt and an Autobahn shirt. This will not be good for my bank account.

Yes, these had better be some awesomely made tee-shirts for £18.00 + postage. That being said, the Weyland-Yutani shirt looks great.

Damn it. Another of my great ideas robbed from me. And all becuase I'm... I'm lazy.
Eh. These guys did a much better job than I would have. Now all I have to do is buy.

Jeez, nothing from Office Space? Too bad, because I'd pay big bucks for an Initech or Tchotchke's shirt.

I wore the Overlook Hotel T-Shirt last time I stayed at Timberline Lodge (the front exterior of the Overlook).

I got a bunch of their shirts (Nostromo, Nexus 6, Tyrell Corp) a year or two ago. Excellent stuff. One of these days I'll wreck my bank account again and buy about three quarters of their lineup. I see they've added many things.

Actually, a bit of googling turned up this...

There was a print ad for these which I must have looked at for 10 minutes, trying to decide on the perfect balance between believable logo design, movie awesomeness and reference obscurity. I finally settled on bottom row, four from the right - one cyberdyne systems - terminator an immortal classic, a little less gauche and "cinematic" than SKYNET, simple use of graphic, 80s'ish business futurism without immediately reaching for the back gothic or eurostile, so far so good. Log on and i t i s n o w h e r e t o b e s e e n.

Cool stuff, but you need a Monroeville Mall reference if you're talking Dawn of the Dead.

I'm delighted to see the Withnail & I shirt, but I might prefer a Penrith Tea Rooms shirt. After all, I want the finest t-shirts available to humanity. I want them here, and I want them now.

I added seven shirts and two hats to my shopping cart before realizing.... I really don't need any more t-shirts or hats.
The website is crack, though. Well done.

Damn, I was hoping to keep this quiet, so that I could order shirts from them that no one else would have. On the other hand, you can find a lot of these on cafe press for a lot less than 18 pounds.
That said, I'll probably break down and get the OCP shirt, and possibly the nostromo.

My only complaint is their GODAWFUL flash interface for listing the shirts. What the fuck is wrong with just using a list? Having the auto-scrolly thing accelerate as I move my mouse so that the shirt I was trying to click zooms off-screen even faster as I approach it is just fucking annoying as hell.
Stupid flash design. Cool shirts.

There's a non-Flash version link below their site map. But you can just click here for a normal gallery type listing of all the shirts.
