Guild T-shirts!

[Zubin]

Okay I have a friend who is willing to help me work on guild t-shirts to be available via Cafe press and in time for Fanfest.

there is (finally) new fanfest infor for the one coming up the first weekend in June. please see the SWG official site for details.

But what I really wanted to talk about was Clothes!
we need to decide on something Like a witty quote or a Guild slogan or something. and any art/photos we may want on it. I was going to "Just do it" thinking that some folks will be happy to have something, and not complain. but I DO wan tto involve other FX members in the decision making process.

Please post your Ideas here support/suggest/critique as apropriate, once I have what I feel is a "majority vote" I'll go with it. If I dont' get much response I'll just choose, and hope you like what I've come up with.

So to start the ball rolling:
1) "FX" over the pocket, a group picture on the back with "Fatal X'ceptions" over the top, and somethign like "Entertaining since beta" in smaller print on the bottom of the picture.

2) Same as above, but with text only (the big group shot I have doesn't have everyone in it, and there are alot of new members since then)

I have more ideas, but I have to go to bed... but feel free to add your own Ideas. personally I'd like the shirts to lure people we meet at fanfest to join our (recently) shrinking guild. and to have FX be in a Guild event at Fanfest. i dont' know about Bloo, But I felt like it'd be neat to be part of one of those events (and everyone gets nifty prizes for participating, and these weren't cheap... they were giving away in-game AV-21's and Nvidia graphics cards and other cool stuff!

I like those ideas, as well as the humorous ones you mentioned before; my main concern is that you make some available in big-ass sizes, and that inactive guild members are permitted to wear them! Heck, I'd be in Eximus Fatalis (sp?) in a heartbeat if I could get to y'all, and let's face it, you can take the gal out of FX, but ya' can't take FX out of the gal!

I love the idea! I just ask: Please include the now MIA D'Lure in the group pic somehow..... Please!! Cause while I no longer play, I would still love to have a shirt. Very cool idea.

I'm all for it, as I think I told you the other night. Hell, I'd pay for at least two, just to have a spare.

For the photo, I'd like to float an idea. What if you did a collage? It would be much more work, and require lots of creativity, as well as much participation, but maybe you could use littte squares with photos of members past and present (older FXer's could nominate "long lost" breathren and supply you with jPegs by mail). In this way, we could be fair to all, and incorporate the faces into the design. You could maybe fill the letters of the words "Fatal X-Ceptions" with the faces.

LOTS of extra work, and maybe not something that can be done. But I wanted to toss the notion out there.

As far a group tee-shirts at the Con, that is a terrific idea. Nifty prizes are always welcome.

(Hmmm, wonder what kind of loot a Dev drops. . . ?)

That's easy Developers drop Broken professions

(Brr that's pretty cold I know, but it had to be said)

I really like your Collage Idea!

But the catch is... the graphics need to be very high quality or they will be hard to see or just look blocky. My friend is pretty good with photoshop, but somethings just can't be edited to look clearer.

I would have to get Emailed files of folks who have pictures they want of themselves for the collage. and perhaps to get help for folks we havent seen in a while (Like megatrip, carridon, and Obos).

(please don't send them yet, I still want to hear from a few more people).

Xarah No worries on size, Cafe press can have sizes from Kids Small up to XXXXL the shirt gets made when you order it, so there should be no "out of stock" as long as I keep the Store up and running. heck we could even have coffee cups with <FX> put on the side, or even FX bumper stickers if we really went crazy.

Oooh I should get Vert to send me his CorSec vice sig and wrap it around a Mug! that would be neat!

and Connies Boxers which say "Oh! My eyres!" on the butt.

Ok it's late and Zubin is getting silly (and speaking in the 3rd person too).

for the truly cuious (and to scare you into understanding that None of the above was a joke... they all could be made), Cafe press is at this link: www.cafepress.com/cp/info/

All the merchandise ideas put a grin on my face, but that one made me laugh out loud! ;D

Hm. I'll check my Card Archive. Megatrip I know I don't have, but I might have a decent image of Carridon and Obos. Might.

it's amazin' what sort of creativity a little sleep deprivation and some caffene will give ya.

See now... it's a normal hour, and I'm having a good day, had no sugar or Caffene, and I can't come up with any ideas.
