What Does the Design Look Like?

"POWERED BY" sits at the top in small gold letters. Below it, "NURSE FUEL" shouts in huge letters. "NURSE" is cream. "FUEL" is red. A red heart with a white ECG line sits on the left. A red and white takeaway coffee cup stands in the center. Steam curls above the lid. A teal medical cross sits on the right.

Below the icons, "COFFEE" shouts in huge gold letters. "SCRUBS & COMPASSION" answers in huge teal letters. The style is a retro badge with a medical emblem. The colors are bold and bright. The print covers about 60% of the chest. It is big and easy to read. The back stays blank and clean.

The coffee cup is the star. It is large and centered. Every nurse sees it first. The heart and the cross frame it well. The whole design reads in one second. That is what makes it a great gift shirt.
