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.

Alvin, the feelings I have from that comment are a combo of turned-on and throwing up, so I'm gonna move on.

spacie, love your cave drawing one, that will most certainly be one of the ones on the tee!

Courtz, there's a blog for brainstorming on this contest, and next week I'll announce the next step for this shirt, can't wait to see what everyone comes up with!

300 dpi should be sufficient (or vector even better), but that is at print size so you may want to specify a size...images can always be reduced without quality loss.
.psd or .ai or something with transparency such as .png
FRICKINAWESOME
   FRICKINAWESOME on Jan 06 '09 at 2:18am
thanks a bunch man, I don't really know the tech aspect of all this!
FRICKINAWESOME
   FRICKINAWESOME on Jan 06 '09 at 2:20am
nW, can people send them in ANY of those files and we can still put them all together cohesively, or should i just give ONE main format? And can i say 300 dpi AND Vector?
NiNTH WHEEL
   NiNTH WHEEL on Jan 06 '09 at 2:20am
No worries. I'm by no means pro, but I pretend to know a little. When phase 3 kicks in, specific colors need to be chosen. Reference Alex's swatches on the pizza collabo as an example.
FRICKINAWESOME
   FRICKINAWESOME on Jan 06 '09 at 2:21am
bump to see if you saw my question.
NiNTH WHEEL
   NiNTH WHEEL on Jan 06 '09 at 2:25am
Vector is preferred (Illustrator file). Photoshop should be able to interpret almost any graphic format. It's the quality that is important.
NiNTH WHEEL
   NiNTH WHEEL on Jan 06 '09 at 2:27am
I wouldn't necessary tell people it must be a photoshop etc so that those without the software are restricted from participating...it's just preferred. In other words... jpegs etc can be dealt with as long as quality (300 dpi at print size) is good.
FRICKINAWESOME
   FRICKINAWESOME on Jan 06 '09 at 2:28am
gotcha, thanks man!

But for now, I look forward to see this come together and doodle for a few of these.

specifying a minimum/maximum size is a good idea.
