How many votes does it take?

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

The consensus among owls is three

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

desidrae on Jan 01 '09 at 10:37pm

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...

Bio-bot 9000 on Jan 01 '09 at 10:42pm

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.

desidrae on Jan 01 '09 at 10:46pm

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.

much more importantly, they taste delicious

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.

desidrae on Jan 01 '09 at 11:07pm

ferfo, I never ate one so I'll have to take your word for it. Like Chicken right?

I had no idea in selecting this pic that I was posting a meal!

Bio-bot 9000 on Jan 01 '09 at 11:10pm

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!

Bio-bot 9000 on Jan 01 '09 at 11:18pm

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.

HorsefaceDee on Jan 01 '09 at 11:19pm

I checked out your slogans and voted! If you get a regular stream of ideas going you should try 365 challenge blog it's an excellent way of getting your slogans to community.

desidrae on Jan 14 '09 at 9:28pm

I have seen that but didn't know how it works or how to join it. Do I just start posting a 365 challenge slogan blog daily?

Thanks

krokun on Jan 14 '09 at 9:31pm

desidrae on Jan 14 '09 at 9:34pm

No but you did get to see a nice retro pic of an owl eating one, complements of Bio-bot 9000 ;D

krokun on Jan 14 '09 at 9:35pm

aww man, second hand treats suck...

rossmat8 on Jan 14 '09 at 9:43pm

I'm hoping the answer to the original questions is 108 votes with 74%

desidrae on Jan 14 '09 at 9:43pm

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

brentendo on Feb 05 '09 at 6:49am

oh and some nice slogans btw

Dawsheen on Feb 05 '09 at 8:21am

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!
