How to put a logo on a shirt without it being distorted on a female

[WhiteRabbit88]

I am haing a problem making shirts that won't distorte the logo on a female's chest and back, any help? I'm using photoshop

Preventing a logo on the front side from getting distorted is pretty much impossible, unless you make it fairly small and place it on one breast only (not across both). But it needs to be really small, because the breast mesh distorts textures quite a bit towards the outer sides.

Another option is to place the logo below the breast area, like this:

...it will look ok as long as the avatar keeps her back straight. But if she leans back or bends forward, the abdominal mesh is stretched or squashed.

Okay what about the back? It gets crunched up i the middle of the logo

Position it lower on the back, and it should do OK on a female shirt.

On the back, you'll probably want to keep it below the shoulderblades, like this:

 

It still distorts a little when the avatar bends back or forward, but if you make the logo large enough, it should remain readable.

okay thanks for the help

I'm not a builder, but I know that a mesh shirt will not distort the logo. 

The downside is that many residents still can't see mesh because they use a viewer that don't support mesh. They will see a blob.

The other downside is that many residents don't like to change their shape, they are so attached to it. So mesh clothing needs to be supported in many different sizes. You will also need to provide an alpha layer to hide parts of the default mesh that poke through. Rigged mesh that bends and follows the body is not modifiable. I assume you can use a resize script, but that will only make the whole design bigger. A tshirt made for average 50 breast size would make both female with 25 breast size and 75 breast size complain.

Here you can read about what some residents think about mesh: http://community.secondlife.com/t5/General-Discussion-Forum/Did-it-Mesh-You-Up/td-p/1055835 

You will see that many are positive, while others are not.

See, THIS "You just have to tweak your current shape," is a huge issue.

Clothes should MOD to fit me. I shouldn't have to MOD me in order to fit into clothes.

They are talking about the (av) mesh, not a meshie.
