Task Description
Neuronspoiler is a band playing traditional-influenced heavy metal - think Dio, Black Sabbath, Megadeth, Iron Maiden, Judas Priest etc. However we like to think we've got a few modern elements and we're not just rehashing the 80s.
We're after a tshirt that looks undeniably metal but which avoids all the standard metal cliches, so no swords, skulls, snakes or strippers.
We're looking for something to be our signature t-shirt that can be iconic once we're good and famous - the sort of thing Motorhead, the Ramones and Venom achieved with their classic shirts.
If it might help provide inspiration, have a look around our band websites at http://neuronspoiler.com and www.facebook.com/neuronspoiler. You can listen to our music at both of those too.
For reference, here are a handful of heavy metal t-shirts that I like the feel/impact of:

A lot of these shirts are ripe with standard heavy metal cliches, so what we want is something with the same sort of feel as these, but without going to the usual subjects to get it.

Requirements
Must Have:
- Not too many colours. 2 or 3 absolute max.
Must go on a black T-shirt.
One of the band name logos (attached) - feel free to play around with it if necessary
Nice to Have:
- Something that also looks good on a white T-shirt with some colours changed/inverted.
Should Not Have:
- The standard cliches that come to mind when you think about metal: swords, shields, knights, dragons, snakes, skulls. If it's been on a Manowar album cover we probably don't want it!
