The Igloo symbolizes the 'base.

I took the Bends' submission and just modified/cleaned it up a bit. You could either do it this way with "The Hipbase" and the dates on the back of the shirt.

Or... you could include the logo on the front and let the "est. 2002" speak for it's 10 years.

My 6 and 8 year old are going to say something to me if we use those lyrics... 

want to be a nobody without peer
want to be a thought that's never done
want to shake your faith in human nature
want to break the hearts of everyone
want to be your wheezing screen door
want to be your stars of Algonquin
want to be your roaring floorboard
want to break the hearts of everyone
want to be a thought that's never done
want to shake your faith in human nature
want to break the hearts of everyone
want to be your wheezing screen door
want to be your stars of Algonquin
want to be your roaring floorboard
want to break the hearts of everyone

Maybe someone with much better skills than me could work up something like Sean's idea:

I agree keeping the logo that is on the site and the last shirt in some fashion and just add to it like some on here have that logo is great
