Piggyback on shj’s suggestion:

The cryptid side (front) is labeled: PROPONENTS.

The Mundo (back) side is labeled: SCOFTICS.

Design: a team effort…

And yeah, for any who doubted it: an icon is an icon, and does nothing for, or to, the body of evidence. Search on.

Most of the readers got it. Those two images are iconic in cryptozoology.

We will be planning new designs quarterly more than likely, featuring other cryptids and other artists.

If you are an artist who is a fan of Cryptomundo, please feel free to submit a design for consideration.

AND, just because I can’t resist taking the bait,…yeah, never thought the Surgeon’s photo really went along with the other sightings, but I just let that one take its course (it does look…just odd to me—see, that’s a subjective statement). Whether it’s real or not, doesn’t debunk the rest of it. I’d STILL buy a shirt with the iconic logo, BECAUSE, it is the icon for Nessie, like it or not.

Alright fine…stay on topic. Sheesh. How about a debunker’s t-shirt…

It can just be a blank shirt that says, “Mundo.”

springheeledjack/crowmagnumman:

BAD BOYS! OFF TOPIC!

So let’s go! I admit to first seeing the surgeon’s photo when a small child and thinking: that looks like a toy brontosaurus in a bathtub. Still does.

Also admit to hearing the deathbed-confession tale and thinking it true. But admitting lake monsters aren’t my thing.

Either way: icon, and needs to be on stuff! And how ’bout a coelacanth or a saola?

Or a bull kouprey (with the trick-exploding-cigar horns)? I’d say that if you can’t find a cow any more than that, searching for decades, it’s close enough for me. As with the sasquatch: it’s only a cryptid because people DO see it.

And now we’ve covered those that are squeamish about hoaxes or rumors.

Hmm. Odd, then, that I was so sure it had been proven a fake. I’ll have to look into this again.

Actually the myth of the surgeon’s photo being faked is just that. There was supposedly a death bed confession, but that was later said to have also been fake. So there you go.

i agree with the red_pill_junkie,
the “its a cryptid world” needs more of that oldies, BW movie feel to it. i also agree with crowmagnumman, using that known hoax one like that nessie photo specifically might not the best idea, but i could be wrong. if i may be so bold as to suggest the texas chupacabra police cam video from a few years ago, and/or maybe the thylacine

Both look great to me. Though is using the infamous surgeon photo a good idea since it was proven to be fake? Maybe it doesn’t matter, because it is a very iconic photo. But I know I’d be a bit averse to wearing a faked Nessie photo to promote Cryptomundo and Cryptozoology.
