Arm The Animals Tee Brand Review.

Arm The Animals

Arm The Animals Tee Brand is a charitable business that supports Animal Rights. Meaning that a portion of the proceeds goes to various charities supporting that cause.

As for the Print Quality, the shirts and fleece that we have are printed slightly above the average Direct To Garment digital prints and are on par with ones that you would find at sites such Redbubble.

This is a print-to-order type of business so the turnaround time is usually great. Here is their shipping policy in their own words:

Shipping Policy

"We run most online orders on a “print to order basis” and we begin fulfillment as soon as possible. We buy blanks, produce, QC, and ship every day of the week and we can turn most orders in 5-7 business days. We are always working on this process to make it faster and more efficient and each quarter, we can get our orders out a day or two quicker. "

Arm The Animals Tee Brand Interview:

How did Arm The Animals Tee Brand get started and what is your brand all about?

Arm The Animals was born from tragedy in 2010 as an attempt to express the inexpressible. Created following the untimely death of my sister (who a lifelong animal advocate and “pet parent” to a dozen rescues), Arm The Animals would serve as a living tribute and means of carrying on a legacy that was ended too soon. It all started as an emotional reaction and a hobby, but thankfully, it took and has evolved into the brand you see today.

What are the ATA ideals?

Our ideals are really simple: Make killer tees and make an impact on the welfare of as many animals in need as possible. We want to be the voice of people out there who are not extremists, but truly care about animal welfare. We like to send a strong message via imagery and up to this point, we think we have done a good job of that. Charitable cause are really personal and subjective, but we see millions of animals in need and we just want to help as best we can. Our company motto is, “Speak for the Speechless & Defend the Defenseless”, so that’s the basic credo all of our designs speak to.

Who designs the tees?

95% of all designs are done in house and by myself or RJ Ochoa. We try to do as much in-house as possible, but about 2 years ago, we began reaching out and using a small network of artists from around the world. We have released items featuring art from Thailand, The Philippines Australia, The UAE, Ukraine and more. We really like the idea of getting a new, “Global take” on our concepts, which can be tough to do from inside the company. We have also had guest artists come and work in the office with us for weeks at a time; Franz Garcia (http://franzdg.blogspot.com/) & Tony Koehl (http://www.sketchthesoul.com/featured/they-died-not-knowing-tony-koehl.html) made major contributions to our releases over the past 2 years in particular.

What inspires the tees?

We have been inspired by making an impact on the general welfare of animals, but certain instances also influence us. For example, when Cecil the lion was killed last year, it inspired a hugely successful design that raised over $12,000 for the ZCTF, who patrols the area where Cecil was killed. Originally, ATA started as just a hobby to help cat/dog shelters and it has now mushroomed into covering all animals of all types. So many species are facing extinction and plight that there is no shortage of inspiration and when it all comes together, like it did with Cecil, the results are amazing!

How would you classify the tees?

We’re actually proud that there is no clear classification for our tees; I mean, they are graphic tees, but you can’t simply say they are high fashion, or hipster, or beach life inspired or political, etc. To us, they are all that… Animal welfare cuts across every demographic on the planet, so we’re lucky to be able to appeal to so many different kinds of people. This isn’t easy, but it is a good problem to have in our estimation.

When we researched animal welfare tees back in 2010 when we started the company - all we found was kittens and butterflies, or blood and guts - with nothing in between for the every man or every woman out there. We wanted to make tees for people who are pissed and care about animals and want to show it - so that’s what we attempted to do. We have had any kind of person you could imagine support us and have even seen three generations of a family all buy a different shirts from us at an event. That’s something special and it’s not something a ton of brands can pull off.

Pawsitive Vibes Only T-shirt Design Thumbnail

Pawsitive Vibes Only T-shirt Design Review.

Pawsitive Vibes Only is a message for raising the vibration featuring a cute grey and white bunny and a orange and white fox.

The concept of this tee shirt is peace and never be negative saying on the top "Pawsitive Vibes Only". The bunny and the fox are each waving and in the middle there is a white little heart, like they are going to hug you. They are saying positive energy is in the air. The Pawsitive vibes only is all about having the right attitude and atmosphere.

As for the artwork it's sort of Kawaii. Firstly, it has some excellent color choices and it just makes the viewer feel happy. Secondly, the white letters are so plain but also right to the point. The font is capped except for the letter i. Thirdly, it looks like they are giving each other high-fives with the heart a between them. The bunny and the fox are probably standing behind a table implied by the horizontal line. Which is a easy trick to get out of having to draw the lower halves of the characters. Personally, got the color Turquois which makes the t-shirt really pop.

This T-Shirt is a wonderful gift to give to girls, ladies and anyone who loves good times.

As for the print, It turned out great as always from Neatoshop. I cannot recommended them enough.

Punk Rock Bunny Hoodie Design by Tobe Fonseca

Punk Rock Bunny Hoodie Design Review.

Punk Rock Bunny hoodie design features a pink bunny wearing a black t-shirt which says Punk Rock with the "o" being a skull. This design is ideal for people who love cute animals, punk, the color pink, and badass vibes altogether.

The concept all about a cute bunny saying rock on which is kind of different. "Rock on" implies edginess and the adorable cartoon bunny in contrast is innocence.

As for the artwork, it is lighthearted with some attitude. The outside of the bunny has a pink heart as part of design elements in the background. Her manga eyes are huge which is part of what makes this design cute. Her smile is very inviting. Basically it is Girly meets Punk without anything being torn or destroyed.

This is a casual design to be worn at any setting or event such as concerts.

As for the print, It turned out PERFECT AS ALWAYS from Neatoshop. The colors especially the Pink pops which is where all other POD companies are lacking as it is a very difficult color to print.

This Punk Rock Bunny hoodie will make a great gift for any female punk fan.

Rabbit of Caerbannog Tee Design by Pufahl.

Rabbit of Caerbannog Tee Design Review.

The Rabbit of Caerbannog tee design is for the Monty Python fans that can't get enough of The Search For The Holy Grail.

This concept is far from original but the design looks nice. The movie quote "death awaits you all with nasty, big, pointy teeth" from the scene below is on a ribbon scroll banner that flows through the design.

As for the artwork, it is very clean. It is done in a tattoo flash style and it captures the evil essence of the rabbit in all it's terrifying glory taken from the scene below. The spiky game of thrones type element in the background is just that, a design element that is added to bring balance of color shape and layout to the piece. There are more details on the rabbit than the rest of the piece so it stands out more than the other items in the design.

This Rabbit of Caerbannog tee would make a great gift for Monty Python fans as it would bring them joy and uncontrollable laughter.

Where this tee to any casual setting or to PETA rallies or comic-cons.

A Very Naughty Bear Tee Design by Roni Lagin and Mo Moussa.

A VERY NAUGHTY BEAR Tee Design Review.

The A VERY NAUGHTY BEAR tee is for people that want their childhood ruined or want to ruin someone else's. Actually, any Winnie the Pooh fan should like this design and get a good chuckle out of it.

The more true to life behaviors of the animals of the Hundred Acre Wood are more shocking than they are terrifying. This isn't the lovable quirky characters that we grew up with here. These mental cases forgot to take their meds.

This artwork by Roni Lagin and Mo Moussa shows what happens when people let go of their imagination and start seeing things as they sadly are. Nah, this is great. Mucking around with pop culture is fun. Nice colors and shading. the fur effects are done well. But nothing beats the facial expressions here of pain and anger. The snarls. Gotta love it.

The A VERY NAUGHTY BEAR design is ideal for any casual setting and predominately male environment.

Never Too Late Tee Design by Pyne

Never Too Late Tee Design Review.

The Never Too Late tee is for anyone that loves Alice in Wonderland. Be it the book, the movie, or the cartoons. Dark and ominous this tee hits the very core of the creepy ass story about a girl who disobeys.

The design of this tee is for lack of a better word "Amazing". From the shirt being part of the actual design itself and not just a canvas to the audience perspective. The use of a single color (white) on black to create all of the details such as the highlighting on the silhouettes and the sun penetrated fog is no easy task. So many people use color as a crutch. The fur of the rabbit and the metal of the pocket watch don't need color because the textures and shading is that good. This is simply a tee masterpiece.

The Never Too Late design makes for a great casual shirt to be worn anywhere.
