So, do we get to individually pick what kind of T-shirt it gets printed on? Have we decided the colors on the logo?

since no one seems to want a white tshirt, and the ink has to be the same color, i'd say logo art should be white. this means we'll want dark colored shirts. I will talk to the shirt guy again tomorrow and verify that there is no problem with us each choosing our own colors, and ask if there is a pallet of colors for us to choose from. I'd also like to go touch the fabric so i know that we're not getting thin crappy shirts. i'd rather pay more for heavier fabric. i'm not seeing any other logo designs, so until i hear different, i'm under the impression that the large logo i put up is acceptable to all parties. After i talk to my tshirt guy, i'll post the prices. Then we need to decide who will be doing the collecting and shipping.

the mugs must be ordered 72 at a time.......$6 a pop....:(

moving forward......

maybe he can do a few iron ons, case, if he doesn't have those ringer tees......i'll ask

When this does go, I will be buying one.

Hopefully it's paypal, and OC don't forget the cut that paypal takes, so you don't get screwed and have to foot some of the bill.

In any case, I want one. Even if I do lurk more than post.

Or I could get a plain one and send it to him. I would do that. Maybe a dark grey shirt with black trim?

I also would like a long sleeve black T-shirt

I still feel a little odd about having the monkeys without the typewriters. I mean, I understand the design considerations and all, but I'm afraid the inference is that we're all a bunch of apes. At least with the typewriters, there's the allusion to that whole "works of Shakespere" thing.

Whatever the final design, I need a 2X (if a Beefy T...if not, 3X), and I prefer black in all cases.

wudda bout this?

Could we see one without the toad, and with the monkeys where they are on the upper left, and the typewriters on the lower right to balance them out?

(I like the toad, but I think it makes the image look too busy)

this?

I think the typewriters are going to be unrecognizable when scaled down to actual size on the t-shirts.

we could lose the monkeys and the typewriters:

How about the monkeys and typewriters above Cellar.org (all in same size text) on the breast with the caption on the back.

Ie. THE CELLAR. A friendly little coffeeshop.
With no coffee and no shop.


I come from the old school where less is more and elegance lies in simplicity.

Ps L J Good onya mate. We needed a can do guy to take this critter by the horns lest the idea drown in apathy.

However it turns out i'm taking two.

Maybe we should open a thread purely for orders to put this into perspective.
Ie. quantity - colour - short or long sleeve - size

The "with no coffe and no shop" was centralised under "the Cellar" but somehow became aligned when I submitted it.:mad:

Is that a fluo-color you've been using there LJ? Groovy...

But that's just the best design. Count me in for on M tee

I like that one.

I've always liked the concept of "infinite monkeys with infinite typewriters could write Shakespeare. We've got three."

I don't like the repetition of Cellar and cellar.org right next to each other. I would just go with cellar.org.

I really like that. maybe try it without capitalizing the C so much. I would also consider whether the typewriters are really important. They kind of look unidentifiable and may be even more so, on a T-shirt.

i've been trying to comply with requests from various peopls. some like the typwriters, some don't.

my personal favorite is this one:

for what it's worth. front print only. no pocket. long sleeve. black with white logo.....

here's the last one on a shirt:

You could have 2 designs.

I like the frog one you just posted the best. I wouldn't change it.

Also, LJ you never told me whether or not I could pick a shirt and send it to the printer guy. And could I specify where I want the logo on the shirt?

i am waiting for him to call me back..apparently, he lent his cell phone to an employee, and hasnt checked his office vm yet.

i have ringer tees on my list of questions for him. :)...if he says he can't provide them, i'll ask about providing them for him. I'll also ask the logo location question, but my guess would be that they will have to be in the same spot on all of the shirts.

minimum order is 36 per design, but as long as we need 72 shirts, that's fine by me. i'd like to have both sleeve lengths, and if they have different logos, more the better.

I agree. I will buy 2 either way, but it would be neat to have 2 different logos. Not completely necessary, though.

i think it's time to narrow this down. vote on your favorite

I spoke to george tonight ( the shirt guy)
He is extremely flexible with what kind of shirts we can get, as long as the art is the same and in the same place, so if you have specific desires like ringer t's or pocket t's, there's no problem getting them. the numbers i put up earlier were based on basic t shirts......IOW, customization of shirt types and color is ok, but it might cost just a little more. Those that insist on pocket t's might have to give up the front logo.

He reviewed the currently leading logos (8,9 on the poll) and says while they appear to be one color, they are both going to have to be done in 2 color ( white, grey) to convey the detail we're using. So, while we can choose individual colors, they'll have to be "all darks" or "all Lights" so that the ink(s) can all be the same color.

I'll be getting together with him mid-next week to look at the shirt qualities, get firm pricing, and color/shirt type availability. After which I will create an order form, and post it so that all of the orders can be tracked back to the orderer without having to weed through these 2 threads. If we can get our shit together quickly at that point, we'll get them in before he hits his busy season in mid april.

stay tuned

Now Here's a tee shirt.:)

yeah, but how much of a tool would you feel like if someone noticed they were fake?

I'd feel smarter than if they weren't.:haha:
