However it would be nice to have a small store to buy some shirts, i do like the ones who are worn at the conferences with the short sleeves

Really? Someone else made shirts about PTS and BTS without I3's permission? In that case we have a whole new kind of PR disaster

Wow this is where the AGS funding is going towards, thank you Toast. No wonder we have such little acknowledgement beyond this forum...

Another forum viewer sent it to me, it's from I3's PR director's facebook.

Wait what? Invictus has a PR director?

This doesn't pass the smell test.

If it turns out to be legit (the t-shirts have Invictus backing/funding) then I will have some serious re-evaluating of my investment strategy to undertake on a priority basis.

Actually it does look legit - I just saw the I3 team wearing the "keep calm" shirts in pictures on the FB page

they may be good programmers, but the messaging is just...it's just really bad. everything seems like something i might have come up with while sitting in my parent's basement while at home from a college break. or it kind of reminds me of the early days of the internet when the guy who kind of knew HTML would come up with the design for your website and you'd have these spinning GIFs, or unnecessary frames (when html 3.0 came along), and everything just looked silly in general.

for $50,000, you could hire a legit marketing firm to do meaningful branding.

as it stands, they would be better of just not even trying.  the whole image is cheapened

in this example, a shirt that said bitshares in courier font and nothing else would be far better than anything in that picture.

I was at the conference, and I got one of the "The revolution will not be centralized" shirts.  Some of the others I would never wear, but I saw other people who really liked them.  A lot of this is personal tastes and preferences, and targeting a wide range isn't a bad thing.

I think had the ideas been posted on the forum beforehand with time for additional proposals we could have ended up with better results, but I don't know if there were time constraints or other reasons this was not done.  I also don't think what we got was bad, though it could always be better.

yeah, the shirt about decentralization is the one that is decent

You've just initialized the T-shirt DAC. I like this site: http://www.zazzle.co.uk/ (http://www.zazzle.co.uk/) - they make custom anything. Quite good for looking up ideas on this theme.
