Hey all! So it seems people are digging this idea for a slogan mash t-shirt:

4/21 UPDATE: IF ANYONE HAS ANY MORE AWESOME IDEAS FOR THIS MASHUP, PLEASE LIST OR DRAW THEM AND POST THEM HERE, AND WE SHALL SOON PICK THE BEST ONES TO PUT ON THE TEE. THANKS!

There's one I thought of the other day that I'd really like to do with the slogan community if anyone is interested. I am a huge fan of the " I (icon) Something" slogans (examples are: I (drawing of a heart that is also a cup) Coffee, I (drawing of a realistic heart) Accuracy, etc), but I don't think there is enough drawing power even with the best one to be printed on Threadless. But how about a t-shirt with 20, 30, 40 maybe even 50 or so of these specific kinds of "I (HEART) Something"-type slogan/designs on one shirt?

We can belt print them (or just do this one the front of the tee) and try to get as many original and hilarious and innovative ones that we can think up. We'll get a designer to put the whole thing together in a flowing way and submit it after coming up with the appropriately eye-shatteringly awesome name for it.

Voting for which slogans go on the shirt will be determined, but everyone involved will most likely be limited to one slogan each, so take your time on it and make it awesome!

PHASE ONE COMPLETE
If you are interested in this idea, please say so in this blog and specify if you would like to be a sloganeer, you could illustrate some of these ideas, or both.


PHASE TWO BEGINS!
If you are a sloganeer, please send your ONE best idea with as much description as you'd like for the icon that will be illustrated in the " I (Heart) Something" slogan to the email address:

sloganmash@gmail.com

Sloganeers who are also illustrating their piece can send their completed files to the email address above as well. Please send the file with a decent resolution (I believe in the 300 dpi range and/or vectored) in .psd, .ai , .png or if you must .jpeg format.

We will narrow down or pair up the best slogans with artists for phase 3!



We also need someone who has a bit more skill in the layout department than I do to volunteer to help put the whole thing together. Anyone interested? I would gladly give them a portion of my winnings if this shirt would get printed.


Colors Being Used: Red and black on a white tee. Possible pink/purple highlights if needed and we'll try to NOT USE the traditional "I Heart New York" font as much as possible to keep this away from any legal troubles. Similiar fonts are welcome tho.


Voting Procedure (subject to change): ONE slogan can be entered in for voting upon. We'll probably just have everyone vote for their favorite ten slogans (you cannot vote for your own of course), the ones with the most votes could be on the shirts, and if more than one slogan from a person is on the list we pick the higher one. If it's a tie, then it's the one the sloganeer likes more. Also, we'll make it that anyone who wants to be involved needs to vote or yours can't be on the tee even if it's voted in to ensure a lot of votes and get the best slogans. Sneaky, eh? Make no mistake, we will be trying to get EVERYONE who enters slogans for this mash to get a slogan on the shirt!


Deadline: To Be Announced.

Bio-bot 9000 on Dec 23 '08 at 3:59pm
I'm in, for the slogan side. Are you going to make a different submission blog for the pooling/voting of concepts?

Also, is the artist going to just design the object, or both the object and the text? i.e. are there going to be a lot of different text styles, or the more familiar I (heart) NY style text?

   FRICKINAWESOME on Dec 23 '08 at 5:22pm
This is great guys! Thanks so much to the illo people who are gonna do one or a few of the slogans for this.

There's a bunch of good questions up here:

Bio-bot 9000 on Dec 23 '08 at 3:59pm
Are you going to make a different submission blog for the pooling/voting of concepts?


Yeah Bio, we're just brainstorming in the other slogan mash blog (obviously if you come up with an original slogan and post it there, it is yours and no one else can use it) and this one is for signing up and organizing all the details.

We'll probably just have everyone vote for their favorite ten slogans, the ones with the most votes could be on the shirts, and if more than one slogan from a person is on the list we pick the higher one. If it's a tie, then it's the one the sloganeer likes more. Also, we'll make it that anyone who wants to be involved needs to vote or yours can't be on the tee even if it's voted in. Sneaky, eh?

Also, is the artist going to just design the object, or both the object and the text? i.e. are there going to be a lot of different text styles, or the more familiar I (heart) NY style text?

We'd probably let the artists pick out the slogans they want to do, and then the sloganeer can work with the artist on the design and font. I don't think we need a uniform font, whatever works best with the slogan. although many would work well with the I LOVE NY style of text.

jayrawz on Dec 23 '08 at 4:53pm
what colors are being used?


Good question man. Definitely black and red...what else should we go with do people think?

ivejustquitsmoking on Dec 23 '08 at 3:59pm
deadline?


Not sure onthat one yet, we're still organizing this thang.

Keep it up people!

Also, is the artist going to just design the object, or both the object and the text? i.e. are there going to be a lot of different text styles, or the more familiar I (heart) NY style text?
CallMeSteven
CallMeSteven on Dec 23 '08 at 5:25pm
wait, we are voting for which slogans go on the shirt?
krokun
krokun on Dec 23 '08 at 5:26pm
Perhaps one designer to design the font that is used all over and then all the other designers on the objects, and yeah I think black and red on a white tee is a go-er.
jayrawz
jayrawz on Dec 23 '08 at 5:27pm
black and red on a white tee and possibly pink and purple too?
FRICKINAWESOME
   FRICKINAWESOME on Dec 23 '08 at 5:28pm
Yeah Ste7en, i don't see any other way to ensure the best ones for the tee. We'll try to get everyone on the shirt....we might have too many to fit on the tee.

Or should we not have a vote? I don't wanna leave anyone out, this is more to pair down the best subs.

I'm sure I (eye) Captain would certainly make it on the shirt man, that's friggin brilliant.
krokun

CallMeSteven

Its up to you. This isn't my thing. I was just curious because I didn't realize it before.
CallMeSteven
CallMeSteven on Dec 23 '08 at 5:33pm
I do suggest just keeping it black and shades of red/pink, for uniformity but flexibility...I think most of these are easy enough to do in 2 colors with a little creativity

   FRICKINAWESOME on Dec 23 '08 at 5:35pm

Damn, i can't see the sure-fire spacesick awesomeness above me at work.

rythym, we aren't submitting slogans yet for the contest, just getting it all ready and figuring out just what it entails.

If you wanna brainstorm some slogans for the contest, there's another blog for that too until we figure out what's what for this one. Sorry to be so sketchy about all this, but it all came together today!
