Also, HUGE QR on back or even front looks fine:

Additionally, I like this instruction for the non-aware:

"scan this" also for the facebook ones, if included, "like us" or "like us here" or "like us on" above and "facebook" below. This could turn some people off, though, some are very anti-fb.

Finally, this one's for you, Jeff!

I can't see why you are so eager to have QR codes. Has anyone, anywhere, ever scanned one? Let alone on a t-shirt someone else is wearing.

Because everyone (except me) has smart phones, and if I'm yacking to someone about the project I can just say "scan this" and there's no remembering/writing things down/forgetting later.

Another thought today, put a link to freeems.org/QR-shirt and a redirect back to freeems.org to count stats on scans :-)

I like the QR idea, but not that big. The smarphone might recognize it, but not the human brain. So if people remember freeems, and they don't know the link. They will just google it later. So QR should not be more important than good logo placement. Id say leave the QRs on the sleeves, not many people will be taking you pictures, you are not that pretty :p

OK, I involved a professional. Rational for choices follows:
  • 2 colours is cheap, so black shirt with white and red printing is the best option.
  • Printing to the sleeves adds cost, so single HUGE QR on the back with the logo above, url and catch phrase below.
  • Logo for freeems and diyefi and catch phrases on front, keeps it simple and pays homage to the community project, too.
So here are my low-quality mockups from the high-quality EPS files that Rob kindly created for us:


Front:

Back:

The community catch phrase has been updated from:

"TRUE Do It Yourself Engine Management"

To this:

"The Do It Yourself Engine Control Community"

To reflect what it's all about. Before it unintentionally implied DIYEFI.org was an EMS too.

I very much Like this one ! You manage to integrate the QR without looking awful.

I'd go with that one.

We demand QR-code with Face of Fred, bit like this:

Ok ok.. Probably bad idea and would just scare everyone away. How about with diyefi logo? Links below show how to create valid QR code with logo. That is without losing error correction data by just overlaying random image on top of it.

Neat! I didn't know about that. I think it'll have to be on the next version, though. This one has to get into a post bag ASAP or it'll miss the big day.

If someone wants to take a stab at using this image in black/white to generate a QR code, that'd be cool:
