My slogans will fill you with rage...

Not really...

Hey more slogans are up by me. I think they're threadless quality slogans. Let me know what you think.

I'm trying to be more social on here.

iPear on Feb 08 '08 at 1:14pm

nothing's wrong with your...slogans really.

although:

When God hands you lemons... find a new God.

....:O I know where that's from.

vinnylo on Feb 08 '08 at 1:15pm

yeah, a little.

Scootman on Feb 08 '08 at 1:15pm

I know I couldn't resist... It would make such a good t-shirt!

Scootman on Feb 08 '08 at 1:16pm

thanks vinnylo.....so they're really that bad or people seeing them aren't funny? which one is it?

vinnylo on Feb 08 '08 at 1:16pm

and if u get something from a movie or whatever, it is not your slogan no matter what.

vinnylo on Feb 08 '08 at 1:17pm

slogans should be universally funny. so when a room full of people look at it, most of them should get a kick out of it.

bhoomika on Feb 08 '08 at 1:24pm

Yes!

bhoomika on Feb 08 '08 at 1:25pm

no just kidding.. I haven't seen your slogans yet.. let me go look. :-)

Scootman on Feb 08 '08 at 1:28pm

none of those are from a movie. the "when god hands you lemons..." one is from some weird fake powerdrink video i saw on youtube and thought it would make a wonderful t-shirt. i 'spose i could change it to something else, but people seem to enjoy it.

how about: "When God hands you lemons... squirt him in the eye."

ryanwho on Feb 08 '08 at 1:33pm

Only a handful of people vote for slogans, mostly people trying to get their slogan published. Unless you get your friends to vote for you you'll rarely break 20%

Montro on Feb 08 '08 at 1:35pm

I thought the saying was , �when LIFE gives you lemons...�

Torakamikaze on Feb 08 '08 at 1:39pm

I thought the saying was, "when life gives you gremlins, fucking don't get em wet"

Scootman on Feb 08 '08 at 1:40pm

what's the percentage cutoff for something that might actually win? also, how long are the slogans up before they're picked? is it a week just like the designs?

montro: i believe you're right. see my comment above ryanwho.

iPear on Feb 08 '08 at 1:40pm

lol.

Scootman on Feb 08 '08 at 1:54pm

torakamikaze: THAT IS AN AWESOME SLOGAN!!! submit it!! just put some asterisks for the u and the c in fuck. oh man, i wish i would've thought of that!

Scootman on Feb 08 '08 at 1:55pm

can anyone answer my question posed above

"what's the percentage cutoff for something that might actually win? also, how long are the slogans up before they're picked? is it a week just like the designs?"

i guess it's really 3 questions.... ;you get the idea.

Maltzmania on Feb 08 '08 at 1:57pm

1. 40% or above

2. they're up forever

3. they are less often than design shirts

J-Ray on Feb 08 '08 at 1:57pm

Art is for people who hate math.

That should really be printed.

Scootman on Feb 08 '08 at 2:20pm

i know, right?

thanks maltzmania: how long do they have to hold that 40%

Maltzmania on Feb 08 '08 at 3:47pm

how long? Until they are selected by Threadless staff...also need a good amount of votes +60 i think

it's a crapshoot!

Scootman on Feb 09 '08 at 10:15pm

i saw some slogans that have won that had like below 30%, what's the deal?

Maltzmania on Feb 09 '08 at 10:16pm

They were chosen by jesuscat

Scootman on Feb 09 '08 at 10:16pm

who's jesuscat?

Maltzmania on Feb 09 '08 at 10:17pm

a great leader

Scootman on Feb 09 '08 at 10:19pm

gotcha... is he a threadless employee? i'm sorry, i'm just trying to see where i fit on this site (if at all) with my designs (and more recently) my slogans.

Maltzmania on Feb 09 '08 at 10:21pm

well.....slogans you just gotta let em play out...I don't speak for everyone but making like 8 blogs about your slogans will never help.

Join the Official Slogan Club...and just wait it out....

:D

Scootman on Feb 09 '08 at 10:22pm

what do you have to do to join?

oh yeah, i totally deleted all those blogs about my slogans. some of them seem to be doing decently.

marblecargirl on Feb 09 '08 at 10:23pm

marblecargirl on Feb 09 '08 at 10:23pm

Scootman on Feb 09 '08 at 10:35pm

i'm having trouble understanding the whole html thing with the slogan card. i'm sorry i'm an illustrator and a designer, i'm not too hip to the whole coding and html-type stuff.

Scootman on Feb 09 '08 at 10:38pm

do you have to copy image location or show source?

Maltzmania on Feb 09 '08 at 10:39pm

img src ="___"

with brakets

Maltzmania on Feb 09 '08 at 10:39pm

err not brackets..sideways triangles

Scootman on Feb 09 '08 at 10:40pm

thanks... how do you fill in the text on it? do you have to download it and then input the text in like photoshop or something?

Maltzmania on Feb 09 '08 at 10:46pm

yes..

Scootman on Feb 09 '08 at 10:47pm

i'm sorry for all the dumbass questions. i'm just not too hip to the blogging and such.

Maltzmania on Feb 09 '08 at 10:47pm

Scootman on Feb 09 '08 at 10:47pm

I sketch/design/illustrate and come up with rather bizarre ideas. Most are unfinished, it's just what I do. It's how I work. I love coming up with anything to do with tentacles, tikis and eyeballs as you will see in my designs and such. Enjoy!
