desidrae aka Allissa is a 35.09 year old girl, has been a member since December 19, 2008, has scored 894 submissions, giving an average score of 2.43, helping 8 designs get printed.
How does the slogan printing work? Does anyone know how many votes it takes for a slogan submission to be considered or printed? It seems like the design submission are more dependent on the scores that they receive but I am rather unclear about the text slogans. If anyone could shed some light on this confusing process, I'd be grateful.

While you're here, please check out my submissions and lend your support. Then drop me a note so that I can vote for yours too. Kind of a show me yours, I'll show you mine situation I suppose...lol

p.s. is that a ctenosaur in your profile pic? aka rock iguana? kick ass.

Nice! It is definitely an iguana but I am not sure about the rest. I met this one while I was on vacation and he ran at me while I was sitting by the pool. From now on I am telling people it is a Ctenosaur though--that sounds much cooler! I'll just have to learn how to pronounce it correctly...

like "teenosaur". the latin name is Ctenosaura, and there are several different species ranging from Mexico through Central America. also called Garrobos (Gorrobos?) in Spanish. I saw a bunch in Costa Rica, where they would shimmy up and down the tile roof, making so much racket.

This one is from Costa Rica too. He was about 4 feet long. You are right though, there were a ton everywhere along with monkey and many other critters. I loved it, I want to go back.

I like:



I'd throw my drink at you but it cost $10 and I really like it



Definitely one of the things that stops me from throwing my drink.

generally, it takes a LONG time for slogans to get enough votes to be considered for printing. usually 200+ votes. but recently Type Tees have been coming out more frequently, which may mean better chances, but the only people who really know are the Threadless wizards who live in the center of the earth and pick slogans out of a bubbling slogan cauldron.



also, i've got a few more slogans up. check em out?

desidrae on Jan 01 '09 at 11:16pm
Just did, of your latest ones I my favorite is:



This was hilarious in its original language.



You've got a lot of really good ones!

haha, @ Ferfo. I met a tour guide in CR who would describe most of the animals in the forest by their taste: "There's a peccary. They're delicious. There's a toucan, they're good boiled," etc.

I was wondering the same thing, because I struggle to get my slogans past 50 votes, but some people seem to get 100s =s

I always wondered the same thing, there never really seemed to be much of a pattern. Some nice slogans, btw, I like "I have a sense of humor, it is just heavily damaged", one of my friends would find it very appropriate for me ;P hehe

Seems some of those were printed for around 75 votes so that's not so bad (based on percentages) Thanks for the info!
