Poshitive Attitude

V are entitled to some bad behaviour even though v are good.

This is a best seller so v guess everyone agrees.

Devil

Jived? Lived? Think in reverse, backward masking...liveddevil

V always wondered why lived spelt backward is devil and live spelt backward is evil. Is it to live v have to be evil? And when v have lived v become the devil?

Or is it to be the opposite of evil that v really live and having lived v are the opposite of the devil.

All is Well

The swastika is the universal symbol of wellness. The Nazis stole it. V are stealing it back!

This design is meant to provoke.

At first glance, it may look like neo-nazi, especially with the synchronized use of black and red, but upon further observation you realize that it is actually the ancient sign that represents wellness - a blessing that all is well.

Before World War 2, this was a revered symbol, but the Nazis perverted it and now it has a stench and stigma associated to it.

Well, it's time to cleanse and return it to its original meaning.

Unfortunately...this t-shirt design is only available for man.

Amnesia...i remember you

It's up to you to interpret:

I love to forget
I want to forget
I don't remember anything but I remember you...you must be special
I'm just plain forgetful...the only thing I remember is that I forget easily
Who are you?

The bubbly fonts give a dreamlike existence, like it's in its own world. Also kinda cute. Pretty feminine. We expect the baby to outsell the man

How we started

Virtgo was at first Vertigo...meaning "a sense of dizziness." The designs always have more than one message that can be seen from various angles, so v thought it kinda likens to a spin, the message morphing as you stare at it and interpret from a different perspective.

Vertigo then became Vertgo, the "t" meaning t-shirt. V then thought why not "vir" instead of "ver" since excluding the "t," it read as the zodiac sign of the constellation Virgo.

Now one of the depictions of Virgo is Persephone, the goddess of innocence and purity, who later became the Queen of the Underworld. How apt v thought, another story with a twist, Virgo had her own "vertigo," a character with two personalities - very suitable for our concept.

So Virtgo it is, and incidentally the birth of the idea for the t-shirts and its 1st batch of designs all began in the month of Virgo

The rest is hard work and perseverance...
