When designing custom tshirts, hats and other promotional products, you’ll need to use a logo creator for a variety of sizes. A single logo design size won’t be right for all custom t-shirts, hats and other merchandise. The type of logos that work on a baseball hat won’t work so well on a polo shirt or a button. Several sizes and shapes are necessary to make each individual product as effective as possible.
A baseball hat logo should be re-shaped to conform to the shape and design of the hat, to include accommodation for any seams or other breaks in the fabric. You may wish to have your logo creator re-shape the logo so that the upper portions of the letters are rounded and sized to compliment the contours of the baseball hat.
Logo design for polo shirts may be small and boxy. People are used to seeing large logos printed across most of the available space on custom t-shirts, but on a polo shirt this concept can be distracting. Polo shirt designs are typically smaller and tend to be placed in the same area as the pockets. You can also consider adding an additional logo or website address to the back of a polo shirt. This may not be as commonly done as the “pocket logo”, but it isn’t nearly as distracting as an “all over” design on the front of the polo shirt.
Another important consideration when trying to design a logo is the color of the fabric that logo will be printed on. Black and white nearly always complement one another. Orange and black, yellow and black and other combinations of lighter colors and black are safe bets, but if you want to experiment with the color of your company logo on custom hats and custom tshirts, it’s best to ask the advice of your Vistaprint representative before committing to a color scheme that seems interesting, but may not work when it’s actually printed on the fabric.
Your sales rep can tell you a great deal about what colors traditionally don’t work together well. People in the printing business are well-versed in the art of color combinations and can tell you from experience which ink colors might be incompatible with which fabric color choices.
Real learning takes place outside of the classroom. The greatest teacher in the world is the Universe. As Khalik said in this clip, “the universe is your university.” I think that’s so true. I’ve learned more in my life in the past 2 years “after” graduating from college, than, seriously, over a decade in the school system. How is that? Well, in nature/universe there are no boundaries, no limits, and no authority figures. So of course, naturally, your journey of learning and absorbing and building a relationship with the world is going to flow more effortlessly than ever before. How amazing.
Khalik Allah and I speak about the effects of plants and drugs on your body and share real experiences with you.
Drugs — synthetic and naturally derived from plants — have various impacts on your mind, body, and spirit. Most prescription drugs serve to only alleviate and subdue the symptoms and have little to no effect on actually getting to the source of the problem. Khalik will argue that all the healing you need is already provided in your own bodily powers. David states: “Plants that haven’t been altered can provide your body and spirit with a certain intelligence.”
The destruction of the rain forest and the ancient redwoods of Northern California. The aggressive and careless consumption of animals. The poor and clumsy usage of technology without respect for the environment. The greed to attain material riches at the expense of natural resources. The blind burning of fossil fuels to increase our corporate bottom-lines. This is truly Man vs Nature. Man vs Himself.
Fear is such an interesting thing. Something so powerful, in fact, that it can easily determine the course of our entire lives — the actions we take, the thoughts we think, and the decisions we make.
Fear can be a scary beast that prevents us from growing and prospering in new directions of life. Fear isn’t something to be stigmatized and labeled as “bad.” Fear can be your greatest teacher. And the lessons begin only when you embrace fear and become a student of fear.
Allowing fear to be the scary beast in the dark tunnel, but a scary beat with a lantern in its hand, guiding you down through the darkness; sure, it’ll be scary, but at least you can see what’s going on inside of you.
I sometimes encounter what some would call vertigo when I get on really high places where there is a real potential to fall, such as the top of a high roof or a sky lift in super windy conditions. But here’s the thing, even though that these things truly scare me and it sometimes feels like the world is falling apart beneath me when at such heights (vertigo), I continue to test my fear and find high places to be. Not turning away from my fears, but going towards them — over and over again.
For some people, that may sound absolutely ludicrous and insane. And for others, it makes perfect sense.
I have come to realize that the more you jump directly into your fears, the more you begin to understand yourself, all the while overcoming your fear(s) to the point of A.) it no longer has any involvement in your decisions and it’s completely removed or B.) you still have the fear, but it’s become your partner, not your enemy.
Again, the aim isn’t to destroy your fears, but to, in some capacity, build a relationship with them. And you can only do that by accepting them and working directly with them. Anything less, and you’ll remain a slave to your fears.

Below you will find the Mind Petals Organization GIAS Plan, created for Mind-Petalers / and any person who wants to get more involved in helping to save the world, not just thinking about it. This is a plan of action for those seeking to organize, act, and change the way you live; whether it be through the Mind Petals Movement, or through your own individual actions / community gatherings — it doesn’t matter.
Green Inspirational Acts of Spirituality
G - Green. Considering the Earth / Environment in all of our thoughts and actions — always, without compromise. Learning how to recycle throughout our day until we’re not even thinking about it. Consciously eating foods that sustain the planet, not destroy it such as killing and eating animals. Lessening our carbon footprint (pollution) by riding a bike instead of driving a car, using a fan instead of the air conditioner, etc. And showing love for all plants and animals throughout the entire world — protecting, not consuming and exploiting for a profit.
I - Inspiration. Educating ourselves on issues that help the world in some way. And using that education to share with the world to inspire and motivate people to actively change the world and make a real difference. Our ideas are our seeds, now we must plant them in as many minds as possible, so they may sprout and bear fruits of love and positivity, blossoming into action. Get out and speak to the world — NOW.
A - Action. Ideas alone aren’t enough. The will and courage to stand-up and act is essential for change. Through non-violent / civil disobedience based protests, events, and campaigning — as well as the actions we take during our daily lives — we are leading by example and creating an energy that will embolden others to get up and act. Sitting on the sidelines and remaining in a passive position (no matter how good our intentions are) will never be enough when battling for the Earth. So get up and Act!
S - Spirituality. Trusting in ourselves. Our innate powers and potential. Strengthening the connection of our mind, body, and spirit to bring about a true understanding of who we are. This is true freedom. True power. When we attain this freedom, we realize how infinitely powerful, creative, and brilliant we are to do anything in the world. We see that we are the #1 authority in our lives — not society, not our parents, not our professors, and not the government. We, inside of us, have all the answers to our questions. We are the keys that can unlock all the energy to bring about internal and external change.
Is money, cars, homes, and fancy titles your cocaine — your joy and high? Is making a difference and having a positive impact on the world your source of joy? Is is both? Is it just one? Are you heading in the right direction? Are you in control of what you’ve set out to do with your life? Or is society driving the car for you? Ask yourself these questions…
Just over a week ago Mind Petals Organization had another monthly gathering in NYC where individuals gathered to share ideas, insights, experiences, and plans of action to improve the world in some way.
Discussions
Vanessa Barg, Certified Holistic Health Counselor and Raw Chocolatier, spoke about the awesome benefits of consuming raw chocolate as well as the power of incorporating raw foods into your diet. Vanessa is not only an amazing health consultant and coach, she’s a ball of joy, positivity, and love. I urge you all to find out more about Vanessa. You can start here:
I (David Askaripour) spoke as well, discussing various topics around the theme of “Nature as a Mega Frequency.” Which basically goes to say that we’re all connected, all organisms on earth working together to bring about changes. And each person is, undoubtedly, a part of this mega frequency. So what you do, think, and act really matters.
Transformation of Mind Petals
Mind Petals Organization is definitely still in its infancy stage, as obviated by our lack of precise niche and focus — something that I’ve actually grown the love over these past few months. As well as our super diverse group of speakers, supporters, and contributors — you know who you are! And thanks SO much.
A lot of people have said “screw it” and “forget Mind Petals” since the organization strayed away from Business, Capitalism, Money, and Entrepreneurship and probably due to my current spell of “insanity, environmentalism, spirituality, and conservation.”
There’s no doubt that this is happening and that’s perfectly fine with me. I have conceded that our environment, spirituality, and nature are more important to me than business. However, I believe that business/entrepreneurshp and all of these things are ALL still related.
In my heart, in my mind, and in my spirit I have developed this immense calling to do everything in my power through — all of my connections, all of my discussions, all of my prayers, and all of my actions — to help enlighten the world on issues that I believe are essential for preserving all of life. This is my mission. This is where I’m steering Mind Petals Organization.
I see a transitioning taking place in Mind Petals Organization and it’s very exciting. As I begin to get deeper into environmentalism and spirituality, I begin to not only learn more about myself and the world, but the organization is beginning to attract a different sort of people who want to share in this frequency. A frequency that anyone can benefit from.
Non Profit Status for Mind Petals Organization
In about a month if everything is aligned with my lawyers, the state of New York, and some various paperwork, Mind Petals Organization will officially be a non-profit 501(c)3 entity.
I’ve been working establishing various programs, workshops, and gatherings to bring people together in all sorts of positive and fun ways with the common denominators of love, peace, and protecting/improving the world in some way. I hope that you’ll choose to be a part of that.
Those that do something when they see something wrong. Those that take action for what they believe in. Those that do things to benefit others. Those that share their love and kindness with the world. Those are the Saviors
When you tap into yourself, you’re basking in an awareness of true understanding, where you see things for what they truly are. You transcend logic, language, and concepts and enter a realm of experience — a place where you are truly naked and free from the societal constrains that you’ve come so accustomed to.
