Custom graphic t-shirts are widespread in online and offline. From Merch by Amazon, Etsy, and Threadless to physical storefronts, they’re there at customers’ disposal. Customized shirts are head-turners as they stand out from the mundane tees that people wear. But the primary reason that most people wear them is that they’re an extension of their personality. Research even shows that “dressing the part” can change the way you go about your routine. 

Take these 32 custom graphic shirt examples as inspiration to make one that will stick out wherever you wear them. 

 

1. Skull Girl Tattoo

Skull girl tattoos don’t only look good on the skin. They’re also one of the most chosen shirt designs. The reason is that you can change it up by customizing some favorite elements. In this case, the additional flowers. 

 

2. Paint 

I love how the artist used up the entire canvas for the graphic design here. The clever use of black against the white shirt is catchy enough to make someone take a glimpse.

 

3. Geometrical Shapes

The use of geometrical shapes to concoct a brilliant concept is what makes this shirt eye-catching. From the mountain, sun to the bear, and reflection, everything is uniquely well-designed. 

 

4. Tree Diety

This custom graphic t-shirt is for a person called “MAMA J.” The designer plays with vivid colors to make the all-black tree deity pop out.

Another one of those custom graphic t-shirts that’s unique is this colorful lion design. Instead of a tawny yellow, the king of the jungle is customized into a friendlier version.

Whether this design is for a Harley Davidson motor club or not, all elements exude synergy. From the eagle to the texts and the motorbike, the vintage feel is apt for this brand’s machismo.

This shirt design is custom-made for the gym buffs out there. A weightlifting spartan is the best way to represent strength and masculinity.

The weirder and scarier the graphic shirt design, the better. Here’s a black and grey face that’s seemingly screaming while bright colors come out of its mouth.

As mentioned, the weirder the design, the more heads will turn to take a look. And here’s one with an oversized man wearing a suit while the skull head is seemingly enjoying the preppy look.

I love how simple but well-designed this tee is. It’s a funny mock-up of the Lion King with the hungry hyenas in the background. However, the text, “I’m surrounded by idiots,” keeps the vibe light and playful.

If you want to surprise a birthday celebrant, this design is excellent to wear during the celebration. The different use of colors and typography make this shirt well-designed.

This is one of my favorite custom graphic t-shirts on this list. The 3D skull seems like it’s going to come out of the shirt at any moment. The purple complements the entire concept really well.

One way to leverage custom graphic shirts is by printing your business name or logo, just like this example. Although it’s simple, the brand name is legible even from a distance.

 

20. Bloody 

This minimalist design is bizarre and disturbing at the same time. The simple text, “I’m fine,” coupled with the splat of blood on one side, is for the freakish people out there.

Quotes are also a great idea for custom graphic shirt designs because you have a myriad of choices. In this case, the design takes on a straightforward approach to remind people to eat healthy and organic food by saying, “You are what you eat.” The placement of the graphics is nicely laid on the lower part. Plus, the colors also make the message more apparent against the black background.
