International trading conglomerate T-Shirt

The 1600's witnessed the birth of the world's first corporations. An era of Monopolies - giants of trade and global commerce. Corporations like the Hudson bay company, the Dutch East India Company, and others wielded unimaginable economic and military power in a world where many of the lines of statehood and imperialist conquest had yet to be inked. Many comparisons can be drawn from the Merchant empires and monopolies of old to the rise of contemporary global mercantile giants such as Amazon and Walmart, and this design is a throwback to the now infamous logo of the British East India Company, translated into a modern context, but intending to keep the same powerful yet perhaps sinister meaning behind it.
