No, it’s not a vector image. Since the logo DLed off the site was a png, I started with a raster and that way it stayed. As for the logo, if you want, I can post up the psd file. It’s on my other computer. Just tell me if you want it.
As for the white border, I kinda didn’t want anything like that. I wanted the logo to kind of blend in with the spiral (just a few shades different). Spiraling below the logo would result in the jagged points (inner part of the spiral) to disappear.
I actually really like the first one. Maybe blend the shell into the grey a bit ?
I like the idea of a Renoise tee but I would prefer a clean version of the logo without additional elements.
My 2c.
hint: just make the “renoise” white and it will do the trick 
We already have that:

So that’s why I was thinking on adding some spice to it.
Why are the logos in white? 
idk, I guess it just contrasts best with the dark shirts.

FYI, you can use Inkscape to work on SVG files (Scalable Vector Graphics)
http://www.inkscape.org/download/
and you can trace clean images very easily like what I just did doing loadimage>>select image>> “Path>>Trace Bitmap>>(alter settings)>>update>>close”
then you might have a vector image of the design!
no need to pirate illustrator anymore! 
Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!!!
The part I find funniest is that I used to use the hell out of that program. Now the program shortcut sits on my desktop collecting digital dust.
