What I find amusing is that people do all this great artwork and designing, but is it really appropriate for a t-shirt. Ufortunately I think everyone needs to be more aware that placing a t-shirt template around something doesn't automatically make it cool. Altough the heart has been overused on threadless, at least you know that people have taken some thought into where a t-shirt is worn and what it can symbolise by perfect placement.
well, what's interesting about threadless is how unconventional the designs are and that it's up to the designer to decide what to put in the template. I agree with what you say about a tee shirt and being symbolic but there are other styles that aren't based on symbolism at all.
