I am a new member to the forums. I want to surprise my father with a t-shirt of his former business but the logo design no longer exists. It was a local fish service store. I have a shirt from when the business still existed, but thats about it. The existing shirt has no trademark or copyright emblem on the logo. Is there anyway I can get this design to make a bigger shirt? Any suggestions/feedback would be greatly appreciated!
Need help making t-shirt for my father...

Yes. Fairly easy done from a photo... the better the photo the easier it is.

if it is his former business, then he owns the rights
if that is the case, post the most detailed pic you can here

The least expensive way is to find a local printer in your city doing Direct To Garment (DTG) printing. Printing alone should cost no more than $20-$30. But they would probably charge you an artwork fee to recreate the artwork needed to print.

These images aren't too good. They are taken at an angle and the print is breaking up. If you'd like to print it yourself I'd suggest finding the font used in the logo (I think it might be 'Langdon Regular' ) and lay out the text in your graphics software.

The 3 fishes can be easily vectorised from your supplied images and added to the design.

Spot on
Just google 'nemo fish vector' or 'Ocellaris Clownfish vector'. Tons of free downloads. Just use the fish with the small eyes and not the big ones. 😄

Easy 5 minute job, so here it is...
The small image is identical to the large one. All I did for this one is cut it from the large one.

Here are the vector (.svg) files you need to the printer:
You have 24h to download the files... They will be deleted after that.
I hope your dad likes the surprise.

Doesn't matter since he's not selling it.

That's a misconception.
A copy is a copy, and the fair use doctrine does not include "personal use".
In reality however, nobody is going to waste their time for one isolated print.
He's gonna love it, thank you so much. Means more than you know!Easy 5 minute job, so here it is...

Let me know if you need DTG Printing of this shirt. I can have it done and shipped in a day if you'd like. I use Kornit Printer in NYC.

Now why we would ask his father for permission to make him a present?Copyright applies automatically, so the work is copyrighted.
