Well it has happened, I have received not only permission but also funding from I3(thanks guys) to go ahead with the tee shirt run.
But wait Bitshares is all about choices so why be stuck with one shirt design. Because of I3's support we are able to use both the mock-up I created and cass's mock up to leave the choice up to you which style you would like to wear.
Some shirts will be given away in support of the community, some will be sold
with all funds going into a marketing account with specific set goals(i.e. the bart billboard idea, renting add space, buying signatures etc). So by buying a shirt you are not only promoting awareness of Bitshares you are also contributing to a marketing fund biased purely on community participation and a poll.
The community has asked for alternative forms of marketing so now everyone has a chance to participate on a vote based marketing system. The size of the fund is only limited by the support the community shows. This is a opportunity to raise awareness through the shirt and the fund.
Stay tuned for a posting of final mock-ups and get your marketing ideas ready-----marketing thread found here
