Design Community Spotlight: Groovy Thunderbird T-Shirt

Being a fan of email, Ben Chestnut of mailchimp.com had always wondered why there weren’t all that many Thunderbird shirts in the Mozilla Community Store. So, he asked the MailChimp design lead Ron Lewis to cook something up.

This image, titled “Morning Dew“, and its darker counterpart, “Sunset Steam“, are now both available at the Community Store. Either one makes the perfect fashion choice for any open source gathering, developer conference or simply the next time you hang out with this guy.
