Do you know which are the most iconic T-shirts in the world? In this article, we bring you the 10 most iconic T-shirt designs that are still very popular around the world.

1. I love New York

…is both the logo and the slogan of the Big Apple. Originally created in 1977 to promote tourism, the logo is still going strong and is often used in advertising campaigns. The design became particularly popular after 11 September, when many visitors and locals wore the T-shirt to show support for those affected by the terrorist attacks.

2. Rolling Stones language

The famous T-shirt was worn by the Rolling Stones in the 70s and symbolised Mick Jagger’s attitude and tongue-lashing. It soon became an iconic garment in the rock world and is still worn by many Stones fans.

3. The Smiley Face

The original smiley face was designed more than 50 years ago by the wealthy Harvey Ross Ball as the logo of an insurance company to encourage employees to smile more. In 1972, Franklin Loufran registered the Smiley for commercial use and started selling Smiley T-shirts – whether Forrest Gump was the inspiration or not is another story.

4. I’m with stupid

It may not win any design awards, but it remains a popular choice. The provenance is unclear, but it’s certainly not going anywhere anytime soon.

5. Mickey Mouse

As a marketing tool, the Mickey Mouse has appeared on just about everything that can be printed. The first T-shirt was born in the 1940s, when the character’s popularity began to soar, and to this day he is loved by adults and children alike.

6. Superman

Superman’s T-shirt has evolved from the emblem used on Superman’s suit and is one of the most popular pop culture symbols today. Superman’s T-shirt and emblem are familiar to old and very young alike.

7. Hard Rock Café

Carrying it shows what kind of international traveller you are (unless you bought your trip on eBay). The garment was originally designed for a local London football team sponsored by Hard Rock, the leftovers were given to customers and the rest is history.

8. Keep Calm

The possibilities are endless. In case you didn’t know, “Keep Calm and Carry On” was a poster designed by the British government before World War II to motivate the public.

9. Che Guevara

There’s no denying that this T-shirt is famous – whether the people who wear it understand Che’s political philosophy is another matter.

10. Harley Davidson logo

If your logo is as great as Harley Davidson’s, why not show it off?

There are many other T-shirt designs that we won’t go into here, but examples include Jurassic Park, God Father, Jesus, etc.
