Title: Whahay T-Shirt Shoppé [IMAGE-HEAVY]
Post by: Pasty on February 02, 2008, 12:11:37 am
Update:  A few changes have been made!  Spreadshirt decided to drop $1.50 off the cost of the shirts for some reason so they now cost less.


For all your attention thanks.

---

In the time the Shop has existed (since August 2007), it has sold 13 t-shirts and has brought in US $28.90 for Gaming World.
If you are with SNK, $4.09 has been made from from the shirts bearing your copyrighted design.  Please PM me (http://www.gamingw.net/forums/index.php?action=pm;sa=send;u=40301) for an official sales statement.

Hello.  I am pleased to bring you, after what amounts to probably months of waiting, the Whahay T-Shirt Shop (http://133024.spreadshirt.com/)!  The shop was brought back initially after a failure to deliver the initial batch, to give prizes in the Catch Captain Goodluck contest.  The people who won the shirts acted as testers of the shirt quality as well as to guarantee that each shirt got out.

T-Shirts are $17.99 $16.99 each, and ringers are $20.99 $19.99 each plus shipping and handling.  All major credit cards (VISA, MasterCard, AMEX, and DISCOVER), as well as check and money order are accepted.


Charity info:  All profit from shirt sales goes directly to Bart's Paypal account every quarter.  I touch none of this money.  The profits presumably go to making GW a better place for everyone.

T-Shirts are $17.99 $16.99 each, and ringers are $20.99 $19.99 each plus shipping and handling.  All major credit cards (VISA, MasterCard, AMEX, and DISCOVER), as well as check and money order are accepted.

Here's how it breaks down:

Code:[Select]
Retail Cost of One (1) Normal T-Shirt:        $16.99

Production Cost of One (1) Normal T-Shirt:  - $14.40

_________________________________

Proceeds from One (1) Shirt:          $2.59

Retail Cost of One (1) Foget Che T-Shirt:        $16.99

Production Cost of One (1) Foget Che T-Shirt:  - $12.90

_________________________________

Proceeds from One (1) Shirt:          $4.09


Here are some (positive and negative) testimonials.


On New Designs:  Certainly, the designs I suggested up in the poll are not the only ones possible, just ones that come to mind right now.  I certainly will take other designs (for instance, if someone from PerfectRun or other guys want to put up a shirt based on one of their games, etc) and will work with the design submitter on getting these proofed and ready to press. 

Here's the thing, though.  Spreadshirt has absurdly stringent vector design criteria.  I have not yet submitted a design that has passed their vector criteria, even though it seems like 9 times out of 10 I make a design that seems to fit the design criteria and they reject it anyway.  Here is the most frequent rejection I get:

Quote
Hello Johnathan W,

Thank you for submitting a new design to your Spreadshop. Unfortunately the image "" (design ID: ########) that you have uploaded cannot be used. The reason we could not approve your design is:

Some elements in your design do not meet our size requirements. Please make sure that:
•   All components of your design are at least 0.059 inches (1.5 mm).
•   The space between elements should be no less than 0.04 inches (1 mm).
•   The entire design cannot exceed 11.7 x 11.7 inches (297.18 mm). We actually recommend a size of 8.86 x 8.86 inches (225 mm) so that your design can be successfully printed on most of our products.
Please refer to the link below for more information:
http://www.spreadshirt.com/us/US/Service/FAQs-1328/categoryId/46/articleId/35

So, here's what I'll do.  We can propose designs in this topic, and get them proofed.  The first person to crack the "vector code" and give me a vector design they will accept will get a sample shirt of their design, AND another T-Shirt of their choosing, both shipping paid.  Please submit your design in either .ai (Adobe Illustrator Format) or .eps (encapsulated postscript format).  Anyone that submits a design that goes on a shirt, regardless of whether or not it is accepted as a vector, automatically gets a sample T-Shirt for testing purposes and as a reward for submitting the design.  I want you to know before you consider this that you will get no monetary return for your designs.  I don't see any profit from this operation at all!  This is something that you can do to help out GW and maybe get a little recognition for your art in the process.  This is the chance for Graphic Art people to step up to the plate and get a design out there!

Anyway, a little musing on my part.  The rationale behind not just buying a whole bunch of white shirts and writing ARE YOU RESISTINS ME on them is (a) these would have to be done in batches.  The first time I attempted this, I was given a link to a place that had some absurdly low prices for base T-Shirts.  It looked too good to be true, and it was, because I would have had to do a batch of some pretty high number (I don't remember if it was like 20 or 30, but it was a significant amount.)  I don't want to do that.  I want people to be able to go in and order a shirt whenever they want without the fear of not being able to find someone else to partner up with because everyone has the shirt they wanted.  The other reason is that (b) Spreadshirt actually uses pretty nice material and methods and I really appreciate their support (when I'm not grappling with them over design issues.)  They don't do a shop commission, and I'm able to set the commissions to go the the GW Paypal account and upload new designs and offer new products with ease.  In the end, I want shirts that people can actually wear proudly in public, and this is my reasoning!

That's all I got.  Questions and feedback always welcome!

Nice job on setting this up. I'll get one soon (i've been planning on buying some new clothes lately anyway). I don't know which one I'm going to get though. I always thought the Q's looked the best, but VB didn't like it apparently, so I dunno.

Also, a "left me feeling smashing" shirt would only be funny if it had the whole poem on there.

The shop's working right again?  Oh dang yes, time to order my pinecones shirt and actually get it this time.  Also, I'd LOVE a Barkley shirt, but "left me feeling smashing" would be fucking amazing too.

I think I'll wait until after this thread before ordering though, because if another great shirt comes out of this I would rather order them both at the same time.

I'm just curious, is there a reason why the pinecone shirt isn't avaliable in black too?  I would totally buy that.

Regardless though, I am glad to see that this is up and ready to go.  I hope to be purchasing something from here soon.  Great job man!

The reason is that forest green blends the best.  If you take a look at the designs, the only one that has any kind of color tint is pinecone.  I'm sure a neutral color like black would probably work too, but I'd need to test that out.  I'll probably end up changing the font color to reflect the color of the shirt (if it's black, the font would probably be pure white, etc)

I was asking because I thought I remembered seeing a black version of the shirt back in one of the original topics

something barkley related would be nice.

When I get some cash I think I'll be getting me a pinecone one. If it's good quality material, then it'd be worth it as adding in postage and handling it's about 35 Australian, which is by no means ridiculous (I've paid much more than that for a couple of good shirts down here at boutique stores).

I'd rather have some sort of Barkley shirt, but if there won't be one (make one!) I could wear the pinecone or the Q's one. I'm not sure which. Also I'd definitely wear the Dragonslayers one. That's awesome, Steel.

I was being a smartass when I updated my Myspace blog (I was using it as a devlog for a while), and under current mood, the last two times, I put "Just ate a Pinecone", and "Backflipping my way to success" my friends kept looking at me like i' an idiot (even moreso then usual)

Why am I telling this story?  It made me remember when you first posted these shirts.  I think I might get one on Easter (my parents read my blog too apparently, and they asked me to explain the pinecone thing to them)

Anyways, if I had a credit card, I'd definately already own the Pinecone, and backflip shirts.  Don't know about the other ideas though.

Post by: GirlBones on February 05, 2008, 07:43:46 pm
haha, i thought we were going for neat threadless style shirts when we were doing that contest earlier in 2007. i don't remember seeing what was decided upon, but apparently it changed from threadless to HOT TOPIC. really though, these are pretty lame looking, and i don't think we spent enough time working on them. we should do this again, except this time we should wait for some really good submissions instead of just choosing steel's because his had the best font.

also, we may want to consider getting moderate v neck shirts, because they're classier than the standard crew, which counterbalances the overall trashiness of the shirts.

my biggest problem with them is that they are akin to shirts like I LIKE CHEESE or I HAD VOICES IN MY HEAD BEFORE IT WAS COOL (both of which i had during the years 2000-2003, *rolls eyes*)

to be fair, my (http://www.gamingw.net/pubaccess/52071/backflippe%20shirt%20back.jpg) submissions (http://www.gamingw.net/pubaccess/52071/backflippe%20shirt%20front.jpg) Were'nt (http://www.gamingw.net/pubaccess/52071/Pinecone%20Facce.jpg) the (http://www.gamingw.net/pubaccess/52071/Pinecone%20Shirt.jpg) best (http://www.gamingw.net/pubaccess/52071/pincone%20shirt%20front.jpg) available (http://www.gamingw.net/pubaccess/52071/pinecone%20shirt%20back.jpg), but I think we, as a community, could have done better. I don't blame the people who designed the shirts, btw. it was the voter's faults.


EDIT: ADDING A POINT TO A POINTLESS POST:

I think instead of selecting out next shirt idea, we should have a contest in GA to come up with some graphical representation of gw as a whole.





unless, of course, you assholes like your nerdy text tees.

I use default fonts every time I guess those are best. and even then I said I DONT LIKE THESE MUCH I AM SAYING THESE ARE CONCEPTS! but no one read those and I didn't feel like doing them.

the problem is GA sometimes just doesn't come up with stuff at all; we did this before, remember?

Post by: GirlBones on February 05, 2008, 07:54:28 pm
yeah, that's why I think we should spend more time. maybe offering one or two shirts two the winner of the competition would be incentive enough, and if there were some really great submissions then i would be willing to financially back the prize.

if we want to do some more shirts, then i think it would be a good idea to start now, and maybe have the final decision by easter at the earliest.

It's important to note that at this time, we now have a platform to put these t-shirts out that is at least proven, so now it's time to expand upon the t-shirt idea and come up with some kickass designs.  I will not be designing, since I suck at arting.

P.S. I have been pretty busy all week, so to answer one glaring omission that I left out:  yes, PayPal is accepted.  So are checks or money orders, but make sure you put the full order number in the notes line of your check.  I have yet to discern how Spreadshirt actually identifies checks, as they offer no special instructions like PUT ORDER NUMBER HERE, so that's your best bet.

Maybe that's what they are going for. Did you ever concider that? (Heck, I'm thinking of coming up with a design for it based off those custom T-shirts highschools, sororities, and bible camps make for every goddamn thing they do).

I would say what I would like to buy, but my online budget is too tied up to "put my money where my mouth is".

Aren't these shirts just made as often as they're ordered?  If so, there'd be no downside to making girl tees.

Post by: Pasty on March 04, 2008, 04:29:04 am
It's been a while, but I tested out a lot of the configurations Spreadshirt has to offer for ladies' tees.  None of them look very good for Q's or Pinecone, so I did not add them.  The only ladies' tee that I am comfortable offering is a navy-blue backflippe tee.  There were a couple of good dark pink/chocolate jerseys, but being that they cannot do a digital transfer on jerseys, I (and those of you wanting the ladies' tees) kind of got screwed on that one.  Sorry!

(http://www.gamingw.net/pubaccess/40301/backflippe_ladies.jpg)

Also, I was comfortable enough with the original batch to add three ringers, one for each design, to the store.  They have the same commission rate ($2.09) but being that the shirts themselves are more expensive, the retail cost for them is $20.99, as opposed to $17.99 for normal heavyweight tees.

(http://www.gamingw.net/pubaccess/40301/backflippe_rg.jpg)(http://www.gamingw.net/pubaccess/40301/pinecone_rg.jpg)(http://www.gamingw.net/pubaccess/40301/qs_rg.jpg)

Again, I am still looking for designs.  Can we do this in like Community so it gets some more attention?  The GW Logo topic turned out quite nice from what I saw, and I'd like to have that same kind of talent fleshing out the T-Shirt shop.

Finally, the vector offer still stands.  I have them.  Let me know.  Hopefully one of you vector gods can make it work, because I sure as hell can't.

Yeah, those Ringer shirts look great, although the font on Q's looks a bit large (possibly because it is compared side-by-side to pinecone).

I love my pinecone and backflippe shirts! They are my absolute favorite shirts ever and I they are so hot I have sex in them (really).

Could there be an option for the backflippe shirt dark blue to be avaliable in regular.  Unless I'm missing something on the shop site, that color is only avaliable as a ladies tee, and I really like that color.   (I'm hoping to buy a few shirts from here soon)

Upon considering your request, I pretty much decided to open up color selection for both backflippe and Q's.  Here's the catch, though: it doesn't allow me to select which colors I want to include and which ones I want gone; it's either all or nothing.  So, with each regular heavyweight T-Shirt for which you can select colors, I've provided a list of colors in the description that look absolutely shitty with the particular design.  Buy in those colors at your own risk.  I reserve the right to not be held responsible if you bought backflippe in, say, fucking white.  This is the only warning I'll give.

Edit:  Oh, and I am looking into the Foget thing.

I would fully support a "This user has received a warning for this post" shirt , as well as a "ARE YOU RESISINS ME" shirt(hopefully I did that right)

The "dragonslayers must think beyond normal" shirt looks a bit too gay for my taste.  Anyways, I'm getting a credit card soon, so I might buy Pinecone, Backflippe, and Use Q's after the holidays(Easter)

In a related story, I bought the Pine Cone shirt, and have received several laughs from my co-workers and a dick joke from my friends.  Best $21 I ever spent.  Too bad the price drop happened after I bought it.

just letting you all know che foget went through as a vector.  I was so fucking happy when that happened.  Psychoskull's design will go through when he is done cleaning it up, while the Red Che Foget shirt will come out on 5 May.  Also:

http://www.spreadshirt.com/us/US/Your-Spreadshirt/Incoming-Messages-3251/newsId/84

Simplify your price - Spreadshirt's new pricing model

Spreadshirt introduces a new pricing structure - clearer; more transparent and also a lot cheaper. All our foils, including those that sparkle; glitter or glow in the dark, will have one standard price starting May 5th, 2008. This is also true for printing complex designs. All designs will cost the same - regardless of their complexity. Last but not least, the extra cost for additional lines of text (which were an extra $0.50 per line) is being removed. You can therefore sport up to five lines of text on your chest at the fixed price of just $3.00!

Specialty foils, old:  $1.50 – $3.00/new:  $0
Intricate & complex designs, old: $2.50 - $6.00/new: $0
Additional lines of text, old: $0.50/new: $0
Additional colors, each, old: $2.50/new: $2.50

"It is time we spring cleaned our prices," says market-researcher Tobias. "As Spreadshirt has continually added new features and products over the last five years, the pricing has become more and more complex. The new approach will make it easier for both shop-owners and customers alike – and also considerably cheaper."

What does this mean for GW?

It means that basically the shirts will become even cheaper, allowing more people to buy them, and that more money can be allocated to go toward GW's server operations.  As of yet, Bart has still not received a payment because Spreadshirt needs $25 in commissions in order to send a check out, IIRC. (Actually, Bart, can you give me a confirmation if you're getting payments of $2.09 and $2.59 US to your PayPal account so I can make sure they're going through?)  We're standing tall at $24.81.

So, if you were thinking about buying a shirt, wait until 5 May.  I can't say how much the prices will drop, but they will drop.

They gave me a coupon to use, and since I already have GW shirts, I figured I'd pass it along to you guys who are interested. I'm not sure if it will work for everyone because the e-mail specifies that it only applies for "my area" (whatever that means) but you have nothing to lose trying, right?

Poll reset.  I added "Zaubers" and a picture of the banned avatar dude.  There was someone else who chose "Other" but they didn't bother to say what they wanted so I can never know! 

Anyway, "Semper Games" won but because of the hiccup with not getting any entries for the last contest ("If you can't slam with the best...") I'm just going to reset it and see if public opinion has changed in the last couple of months.  We did get a great vector of Orson Welles thanks to leafo that can probably be made into a tee right away, so!  The only point of contention is that do we just want a picture of Orson Welles or do we want "Read My Audiotapes" or "Mahaaa The French" on the shirt too?

Orson Welles:  http://leafo.net/stuff/orson.svg

Also, due to popular demand, free color selection has been opened up on Che Foget.  Color warnings apply (on the order page, it tells you what colors won't look good with the shirt.  I am not responsible if you order this in black etc.)

no way Maahaa the French! is way better and that's the only way I'd purchase it

Yeah, this is definately the right answer. But you have to have a little Bruce Genitals logo on it somewhere just to get non gw people really confused.

EDIT: Also, we need some Rone Rivendale T-shirts. Like have it say "Love, Hate, and Everything Between" on the front and "Don't worry, I won't forget you guys when I'm famous" on the back.

you don't have to know what bruce genitals is to understand why a picture of orson welles and a the phrase "maahaa the french" is absolutely the best possible thing ever

unless you're familiar with obscure commercial outtakes, yes you do

now just a big picture of orson welles' face would be fine

"READ MY AUDIOTAPES" is a bit hard to justify too, but at least it doesn't require you to need to hear it to know why it's so good

i really think that you guys wouldn't find "mahaa the french" so funny as a subtitle if you didn't know what it should sound like when you read it to yourself, go up to someone who hasn't heard it and ask them to read it out loud to you and see how they read it, i guarantee it'll be underwhelming

I would absolutely wear DRAGONSLAYERS MUST THINK BEYOND NORMAL because I am generally considered a big nerd (perfectly correctly) and a lot of people would laugh a lot. :D

But only if it was a nice design and was in a good size!

Post by: Jayce on September 07, 2008, 05:07:11 pm
So what's going on with new shirts anyway?
I would easily pay for a Semper Games shirt, provided it had more to it than just the two words, but with that said I just want to see it made.

Maybe you should hang around GA a bit more, Carius...

Post by: Jayce on September 07, 2008, 05:18:08 pm
I know about the GA topic, but I want to BUY the shirts, not MAKE them, besides I don't think I could personally represent semper games graphically...
Someone like Chef or Drule would be better off doing something for it, or at least a mock-up for one of the GA people to make better.


(Also is that supposed to be a joke against yourself for forgetting about it for almost a month? :P)

Well you asked what was going on, and the answer is pretty much nothing because no one (including myself) is submitting designs.

well i just ordered my pinecone shirt yesterday so we'll see how it comes when it arrives
anyone know an ETA on how long they take?  I have plenty of time but I'm just curious

they're usually pretty quick with the turnaround.  like i get my test shirts a few days after i order them.

If you could make it three lines of bigger text, that might be better/easier to read.
Don't want people squinting at my chest for a couple minutes to get the joke (as if they would)

Otherwise, I'd buy it.

That is not actual size Dude it is actually nearly 9 inches wide! but yeah bigger text might be an improvement, does anyone else think this?

hahahahaha no way! no wonder the text looked shoddy. You might actually need the font! Is that the .eps or the .svg?
Title: Whahay T-Shirt Shoppé [IMAGE-HEAVY]
Post by: Pasty on September 09, 2008, 08:14:03 pm
the svg

p.s. I need someone who is interested in taking this shop over while I'm in Iraq.  PM me and if I select you, you should be prepared to take it over in the next two weeks.  I actually did talk about this with steel before he found out about his cancer and I'm not sure he'll be keen about taking it over any more since I'm sure he has other shit to do.  If you still want to do it, man, speak up!

Here's what you would need to be able to do:

You would have to:

-take design ideas and come up with subsequent designs somehow to ensure that we have a steady stream of t-shirt designs actually coming in (think contest topics in GA.)  Also, find some way to stoke interest in these kinds of design topics since they suffer from not getting too many entries right now.
-when these designs come in, proof them and submit them to Spreadshirt.  if they're not vectors, you could try to get them vectorized at somewhere like lizardfish or vectordoctor (both have fees and I have paid out-of-pocket to have designs retraced at those sites before) or you could just trace them over yourself if you are so inclined
-if it's a vector and it gets rejected (this happened a lot for me), you could (a) keep fucking with it until it gets submitted or (b) save it as a raster and get it submitted instantly.
-once the designs are up, put them up on the site as products (it's a very simple interface)
-write descriptions for the products
-you don't have to do this, but I usually bounce samples off either myself or the person who made the design.  it'll require buying shirts and if you don't want to do this I completely understand.  the reason I do this though is because Spreadshirt has a nasty habit of informing the customer, not the seller, that their design couldn't be made AFTER the customer has ordered, which in my opinion is pretty shitty business practice because you should probably resolve the error with the seller and the seller should inform the customer.  i don't know!

All in all, it sounds like a lot, but it's not like it's a second job or anything.  It just takes maintenance and checking back once every couple of weeks.  You don't need a paypal account because I have all the commissions going to bart's so as to keep the money out of my hands.  This is a charity op, remember.  The person who is going to run this gets no money.  Let me know.

the last one will probably look better on a shirt ig uess

but i like the first one the most 8)

i really like both tho
Title: Whahay T-Shirt Shoppé [IMAGE-HEAVY]
Post by: The Dude on September 09, 2008, 10:04:46 pm
yeah same here. The first was cool, but I just think it's like hard to read on a t-shirt imo.

I'll definitely be buying one of these when it comes out. As if my "GTA MADE ME DO IT" T-shirt was a conversation starter, this'll get some attention

If the text is a image layer, just make another comma and put it up there.

I don't think the "then" goes very well with it (hurts the flow, plus the N looks like a M). Other than that, a pretty kickin' design.
Title: Whahay T-Shirt Shoppé [IMAGE-HEAVY]
Post by: tuxedo marx on September 10, 2008, 08:14:21 pm
well shit the reason I put the then back in was to not upset the flow. I JUST CAN'T WIN

slightly more difficult since it's vectors but unless it's a big issue it doesn't seem worth it.

Awesome my shirts came today, I have to say the fabric is really soft, yet strong.
It's stitched well and the printing was top notch...


Nonetheless, make more because now that I know how comfortable they are, I wouldn't mind getting a few more.

I don't care if this is another necropost on my part, this shirt shoppe thing is a good idea that's just dying.
I personally can't run it, but I don't want to see it fall under either, can't someone take charge?


Also why is ATARI idling in this topic?
