That's just my lack of editing skills, the background would be black of course, so it would not actually be a square, as the light would naturally fade away.
You could even just have the party and the logo.

A gently fried snail slice is absolutely delicious with a pat of butter...
While I have no problem wearing game related clothing, I dislike the habbit of "advertising" your game as logo on the shirt or other pieces... in the example case above, I don't like "legend of grimrock" in big letters on there...
I have a shirt from portal that has Glados on it in a sort of composition with the nightsky en stars on black... it's not a clear cut box like the shirt above so the design looks "integrated" on the shirt itself... (not defined by ugly borders).. AND there is no "Portal" or anything in letters.. actuall there are no letters at all... someone who knows portal will immidiately recognise what it is and where it comes from... someone who doesn't won't, they might think it's from a game but that's it...
I prefer that style... I acknowledge componies want to get their game "logo"s" and "titles" out there .. but Im not a walking advertisement panel, nor do I get payed to be... so while I have no problem wearing game related stuff, I don't want to sport around corporate logo's...
Same reason you won't see me wearing a Adidas or Nike shirt with the big logo's on them... if it's really small on the side or something maybe...
From the title I thought "oh god no, they're going to start selling 'hats'". Relived that it's actually clothing.
Personally I think they would be better if they didn't have the game name on them, if they just had one of the creatures on it or a scene like the people falling into the pit at the beginning it would look better and those that know the game will end up thinking "where do I know that from..." Also those that don't care about the game might buy one just because it looks cool without affiliating them with anything.
Also I'd avoid printing things in squares, it honestly looks cheap, because it is cheap(er). Choose designs that would work going along the lines of a .png with transparency rather than a .jpg that's glued on.
I find game related clothing is more stylish/interesting when it just features something from the game rather than the actual game name. It's more interesting and can create some pretty interesting conversations.
I would like it if there was a physical CD or (even better) vinyl soundtrack for purchase.
EDIT: The items in the current store don't really appeal to me... The mug is kind of cool, but expensive. The logos on the clothes throw me off. I'd rather something more creative, and less "THIS IS A BRAND." Of course, that is picky, ^_^
