Who is paying $28 for a hat like this?

Looks like something they gave to everyone working on the project and had some left over

To be fair, this is general park merch and not meant to be up to par with what is sold inside the Wizarding World. If the ride doesn't have a gift shop (I don't remember Alicia saying there would be one) I'm hoping a merch cart near the exit will have some more compelling items for sale.

I wonder if that storage spot to the left of the entry is being converted into a retail window/kiosk. Otherwise, I guess they could replace the wand cart near the exit with Hagrid merch.

View attachment 9403 can they just sell leather jackets with this on it?

Or sell a patch to put on a leather jacket.

Out of curiosity, does the shirt design just take bad photographs? Is it as...busy in person, I guess?

I like promo items to keep the idea simple. Tossed this together as an example:

Yea, I would have liked versions with different creatures highlighted.

Where did you get the transparent background version of the logo from?

I had to hack and recreated it.

i would prefer the pixie to be more 2d and drawn, not like a 3d graphic model. but ik you pulled the image right off google so it works

You’ve gave me a few ideas here.

Watch this space.

My friends and I might have ordered shirts already for opening...

ET's back, and he's pissed!

I think what they were trying to go for stylistically with that t-shirt design is the classic movie posters by Drew Struzan, like this one he painted for the first Potter film. But, in all due respect to the designers and illustrator....that ain't no Struzan.

That's what I was thinking but I was afraid to liken it to them lol. It's honestly not all that bad stylistically - like the illustrative aspect is similar with back-lighting and all, but I think maybe compositionally it's lacking the cohesiveness and shape of Struzan's posters, and the colors are a bit too 'textbook'. I like the gradient from cool to warm, but it needs more complexity.

My main judgments are how Hagrid's flying from the castle instead of the abbey, and that the bike is shooting off sparks and not flames. Oh, and the composition of the logo at the bottom is odd. Overall I think this feels more like an approved concept than an actual finished illustration.

Anyways, we should both try and come up with illustrations!

Yeah, I agree with you on all those points. Its heart is in the right place, but the execution leaves a lot to be desired.

That said, it's not anywhere near the worst theme park merch I've ever seen. In the right mood, I'd probably still buy it (that hat, on the other hand....)
