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.

Jay, i can't see the design, but if there's a gun in it (unless leon is joking), it won't be able to go on the tee. We're gonna try to stay away from anything remotely racist, violent (unless it's goofy) or any curse words (unless it's like "damn" or something like that).
CallMeSteven
CallMeSteven on Dec 23 '08 at 10:58pm
its not violent or anything remotely inappropriate, but the gun is unnecessary, really

did this just die out?
FRICKINAWESOME
   FRICKINAWESOME on Dec 25 '08 at 10:43pm
Nope toopersent, i've been away for the last two days and so are plenty of other people, this is just in the planning stages and won't get really serious until after the new year, so it's just who's in and who's not right now.

hahaha@Jayrawz's designs. I think we should keep it to black and red mostly my good man, and let's also try to keep the "New York" style font as well. Can anyone tell me what kind of font that is so i can put it up at the top of the blog?

Thanks to all the sloganeers and illustrators who have pledged to work on this thing, more details forthcoming.
CallMeSteven
CallMeSteven on Dec 25 '08 at 10:53pm
actually, its probably best we don't focus on the NY font, it only leads to legal trouble

and what Steven said...also it's not a freebie
FRICKINAWESOME
   FRICKINAWESOME on Dec 25 '08 at 10:58pm
Hmm, i didn't think that font was copyrighted, just the NY and heart part which we're gonna do different things with. But i guess if everything's black and red that should be enough for people to get the joke. Fair enough, thanks for all your guidance on this so far Ste7en, you know concept and details are my thing over organization and illo/design elements!
FRICKINAWESOME
   FRICKINAWESOME on Dec 25 '08 at 11:00pm
okay, updated what we want. So far, we've got Spacesick's (which we'll just turn red and black), one from Jayrawz that needs a little bit of re-doing, and...well that's it, but that's a really good start methinks.
davidfromdallas
   davidfromdallas on Dec 25 '08 at 11:35pm
dude. get rid of 'like' and turn the donut more so that it looks like a heart. done.

Yeah Ste7en, we can probably fit on about 20 or so easily on the tee front before making any cuts, so we'll see what happens in phase dos.
