I consider this design to be a bit of a commentary piece: I feel that tee design tends to get into ruts... some people just want something familiar, something cute, or something cliche, to the point of fearing any art that makes a statement. The design exists to suggest that art is about more than a single comfortable note... that our comfort zones are minute compared to the vast symphony of ideas.

I'm not at all musically inclined, so I had to look up do-re-mi on the "all-knowing" Wiki to get the reference. HAHAHA! Love it, count me in!

It's a "B" in treble, so if you presume a standard key of "C", it'd be "Ti" in your basic do-re-mi pattern.
Not that the note has any huge significance.

Actually (and you may want to fix this before it goes to print) that note is an A. The Treble Clef is a specific instance of the G-clef where the G is on the second line. As you have it, the little twirly bit that is supposed to say where the G goes is on the second space. It's also too small; the Treble Clef extends both above and below the staff.
Also, while I'm commenting - Would you please explain the head? What is it? Hamster?

I would consider it to probably be a squirrel, or chipmunk.
As for the note itself, as I stated, no huge significance to where it falls, what clef it's in, etc. It is but one single note. And that is pretty much the point of the piece.

I should clarify - what I was saying should be fixed is the clef. Treble clefs are always positioned as such:
![]()
and this is both standard and meaningful. As it is, the clef looks wrong. And people who know music will notice.
I don't mean to be mean or anything. I'm trying to be helpful.

So this would make you happier:

It really doesn't make a difference to the piece, as I said, so I've edited the print-ready as above.

A little taller - the distance (and positioning) of the innermost loop should cover the two spaces. and hit the bottom and middle lines.
I'm not worried so much about my happiness. I know I'd be very upset if I made some sort of error and didn't find out until it went to print. And this is the kind of thing that some people will just know is wrong but a lot of people will look at and wonder why it doesn't look right.
Then again, I am a crazy person.
