Since 2010 we have created a custom T-shirt for each year. Initially this was just with our Logo on the back, and the date on the front.
In 2011 we asked our colleague Rob Fuzzard to help out with the a new design - we liked what he did so much we just used that.
In 2012 Clifford Phillips created a design which featured a 'space invaders' theme- representing arcade games, and was sponsored by Climax Studios. This was the first design to start off with a genre to set up the design
Since then, each year the artist chooses a gaming theme, and we use the Chinese Zodiac as a starting point, for the Year of the Snake.
