My friends,

I've read a number of blogs here in recent weeks where otherwise sane people have suggested that someone responsible for a winning slogan should be given Alumni status, more money and more attention.

BALDERDASH.

Let's face it. In the end, no matter how witty your slogan may be, people will not wear it unless it is converted to an attractive design by a talented designer at Threadless. It's all about design. NOT the slogan. If it was all about the slogan itself, then why wouldn't Threadless just print the slogans in Arial Black and one ink color?

It doesn't work that way, my friends. The way I see it, Threadless shouldn't even credit the person who came up with the slogan. This site is about design. Slogan creators should be given $100 or so and walk away happy. That's it. If they really want to be Alumni and win big money, they should start focusing on design. That's why people come here.

A slogan creator should never be viewed on the same level as a brilliant designer like, say GLENNZ. It's just not fair and it's simply ludicrous to even suggest otherwise. Remember that.

Let's end the discussion once and for all.
