I purchased a travel bag for adjutants and armour-bearers for church from a company called Attendant Supply, and I just love it. Of course, its not a T-shirt or anything, and it doesn't have crosses or the word Jesus all over it, so it may not count........

But I do think there are some standard 'tests' - is it trying to be clever - is it copying somebody elses idea - can only a small group relate to it - are you trying to be cute with something serious - would your mom wear it :) (sorry mom) Any of those things are great starts to something tacky. It certainly is a subjective matter…and honestly some people just have an eye for it. But I do think there are some standard ‘tests’

- is it trying to be clever
- is it copying somebody elses idea
- can only a small group relate to it
- are you trying to be cute with something serious
- would your mom wear it :) (sorry mom)

Any of those things are great starts to something tacky.

(Come to think of it, I guess this question applies to graphic art in general, not just christian gear.) Seems to me this is a distinction you must make continually when creating, and I'm curious as to how you know when it's "right" vs. silly though eye-catching. I've always wondered about this, and it seems that here might be a great place to ask the question! Thanks in advance, Fotsam Serious question from an artistically-impaired reader: While I get that God’s Gym T-shirts and christian dog tags are indeed tacky, how would you genuinely artistically gifted types define the edge between tasteful and tacky?
