HEY! If you want to order a T-Shirt, go to Acid's blog right here!
Let's try this again, but with more being on topic. Offenders will be dealt with swiftly and without mercy.

acid suggested that 64D make t-shirts and have people wear them to promote the site. He said we should use this as a way to generate money, but didn't explicitly say to sell the shirts, so I'm not sure how this would help make money. But that's why he's the marketing genius, and I'm just the guy who keeps spelling genius as genious. Anyway, this is totally not going to happen, but I think a solid coloured crimson 64D logo (we don't really have an official one) would look cool on the front of a black t-shirt. And on the back, written across the upper back in white text, would just be some slogan. There could be a handful of different shirts with different slogans. "Driven by lazyness" "Member ID #2" "Hand coded in front of a live audience" And so on. Basically a collection of "64D memes" (I just heard you grind your teeth and cringe) and sub-banner text (I don't know what it's called). The idea of 64D apparel has been around for like 8 years, but I thought I'd bring this idea up, to see if anyone would actually be interested in a shirt from 64D (I will not make one, but my ego will feel good), and what you think would be cool.
Perhaps the slogan can be under the logo on the front, then
I did black shirt, 2 colors (Red and white), 7 small, 7 medium, 7 large, and 7 XL. $6.63 each, $185.64 total. That is 28 shirts, plenty for a while.
If we can commit 14 people at $18/each, shipped, we can order them, then the rest will be gravy money for the server. $18/shirt is not a bad price. It is roughly doubling our money. If someone can design the shirt, and we get enough people committed, I'll handle the ordering and shipping of the shirts. Intl people may have to pay a bit more.No. Text on the front is lame and ugly. And if we order at least 10, it's super cheap for both sides.
Edit: Well, I guess if it's that much profit…Not to mention the profits from shirt order #1 would fund shirt order #2 almost perfectly
Make sure that the logo phrase is in indellible ink or else next time you wash it it will be like an old sci fi movie… Slogan's Run!
:D:D:DI am a bad person for making that joke :<I'd like it to make money, just because FirestormX and Canadonian are paying for the server out of their own pockets. I feel guilty, because we use a lot of their servers resources.
Comments?I am setting up a kickstarter, as soon as the video uploads. Here is the rewards pane I chose:

I'd think a more rounded font with a bit more weight to it would work better.
Or maybe blocky and tall as at shown at the top of the site, though I don't think that'd look right for the whole quote.
