OK, we have decals for the club and it is from a steady source. I know that there are folks in here that would love to sport a T-Shirt and mug (I like tea & occasionally coffee so I want a mug!). So...let's run some logistics:
Does anyone here have a source for shirt prints? I have seen a lot of trash screen printing jobs...the stuff cracks & comes off after all of 3 washes. Can we get some info on processes that produce quality results. Obviously it will cost more...but if it lasts as long as 3 cheapo shirts and costs 1.5x as much, it is a good value.
Mugs. Who can get prints on them? And I say we have either 2 sizes, or just LARGE ones. I hate tiny mugs...have to refill the things after 1p sips. Let's do soemthing BIG, a little out of the ordinary and aactually able to keep us hydrated!
Both drink-ware and apparel are a lot more economical in bigger quantities, but I think we should get at leat 3 designs made. Options are nice!
So, those are the not-fun aprts of this, but they are also the most important.
Now, the FUN parts. Designs. I really like the color scheme of the forum logo. It was discussed at length for the decals...the BMW logo and anythign "too" close to it are no-no's. Big companies get really upset when someone uses their logo, especially when $ is involved. So, that is one idea for a design...nice and simple, professional and to the point.
I like the design of my sig (personally). A shirt with a penciled e30 and the "Revolution of the Four's" seems neat to me. Obviously we need to keep the color count down for the clothing, so I would have to knock it down to black, greenish and maybe something bluish. The mugs I believe can have all sorts of coloring.
Anyway, if you have some ideas let's see them. Try to keep the color count to 3 (4 counting the white shirt's base color). Muga...try not to make ones where it is a solid picture printed, leaving ugly borders making it obvious that it was a photo splattered on...make it flow and easy on the eyes. Anyway, what do you have???
