I think the last iteration swag doesn't appeal to the types of people you would find at bitcoin conferences. In a recent conversation, another forumite gave these characteristics:Quote-95%+ predominantly male

My opinion is that you need a clean, simple t-shirt design with a company or product logo and your favorite from among these:
* Decentralize Everything

Thanks! Now THAT's what constitutes a constructive comment!

I asked in another post, but can we get a folder or download somewhere of all of the logo vectors?

Can you snag them off the web site for concept purposes until Brian get's back from the conference?

Maybe in the future have a page on the site were we could copy approved Invictus images.

+5% You guys rocked the house in Miami with your Basic Black. That's a good look that never goes out of style.
Can't find that aggressive 'firing' post any more so I post here.
Strongly disagree with that insane idea
but the marketing guys should really pay more attention to the crypto communities , not only here but also bitcointalk & reddit and so on.
Daniel should focus more on coding since he is the only guy involved in that part. Free him.
Positive time!

Lets get us some fkn t-shirts!
The phrase about revolution does not have mass appeal due to the (very human) fear of change. Why not choose something more people friendly that might catch on with the masses?

We should re-work the design to make it a bit cleaner / more wearable in real life. Where's Cass?!

Hi, sry was afk last 2 days... ok shirts .. :)
"The Revolution Will Not Be Centralized" in front but not central ;) and on back side ... a small another eyecatcher... let me think about ...
'I killed the bank'- Andrew Jackson
Gentlemen! I too have been a close observer of the doings of the Bank of the United States. I have had men watching you for a long time, and am convinced that you have used the funds of the bank to speculate in the breadstuffs of the country. When you won, you divided the profits amongst you, and when you lost, you charged it to the bank. You tell me that if I take the deposits from the bank and annul its charter I shall ruin ten thousand families. That may be true, gentlemen, but that is your sin! Should I let you go on, you will ruin fifty thousand families, and that would be my sin! You are a den of vipers and thieves. I have determined to rout you out, and by the Eternal, (bringing his fist down on the table) I will rout you out!
'The revolution will not be centralised' seems a bit long to me for a T-Shirt but I see it's really popular and I can't think of anything better.
For BitsharesX, what about Andrew Jackson's famous quote (which is also on his tombstone I believe.)Quote'I killed the bank'- Andrew Jackson
I think that written on the back of a shirt will get a lot of attention. The quote stems from the fact that he destroyed the predecessor to the Federal Reserve...
Andrew Jackson said/did some cool stuff and 200 years later not much has changed....QuoteGentlemen! I too have been a close observer of the doings of the Bank of the United States.

@ Cass I have to say I think the graphic stuff you come up with in general is great! Definitely creative, skilled and talented! A real find for Bitshares! Keep up the good work!

"Reimagine everything" - Perfect

Think we could play with this also .. if like this .. we could avoid even to long phrase .. as mentioned post before...
But again .. this is just a fast shot ... will go more into .. when finished higher priority tasks...

Agreed - the marketing team has been discussing 1) a brand book, and 2) a page on the website to enable the public to retrieve assets.
@cass Did you finish T shirt design?

The 2nd quote while amusing is too long for a tshirt. I like the "I killed the bank" with andrew jackson. Then on the other side you have a picture of Dan and it says ????
This isn't a terribly serious idea btw.
I just hope 'We kill the bank'
without Andrew Jackson's 'contributions' to the economy, by doing so.
Choosing another idol altogether, is even better idea.
2c.
Your thoughts are to not use the Jackson qoute because of some of the polices he enacted at the time? I am not suggesting we choose him as a idol as most people will have no idea of any of his polices. I am merely suggesting we use his qoute because its short and powerful.

there's a joseph stalin quote on bitshares.org, after all...

The 'kill banks' quote sounds too anarchist. To me, this is not about destroying something, only improving it and creating a better mousetrap. If the old order is no longer needed, then so be it, and let it fall away organically, but I am not out to kill anything.

It is a T-shirt and meant to grab attention. The banks are not going anywhere and can't be killed. A lot of people not very happy with banking system these past 10-20 years. It is an inanimate object.
Actually I like Charles H's suggestion of "IPO in a box". You read enough stuff on here and there are some gems.
Keep us posted. I'm willing to pay for quality. Looking forward to the mock ups.The 'kill banks' quote sounds too anarchist.

I agree with you t-shirt statement 100%. The only goal for the shirt as far as I can see is to get random strangers that see us wearing it to google it and get interested. Lure them in with a strong bold statement. Fact is If they google bitshares, or any of the Dac's because of the shirt, then to me the shirt has done its job.
Like I said I will meet with my buddy tomorrow and kick out some ideas and upload a design. I will also get a price and time when they can be available. I will also ask him about differences in quality between the shirts we see on-line vs the ones he can make us. So we can get the best deal vs quality possible. Let me also be clear I will make these available at cost as I believe it befits the entire eco system to get the name out their.
P.S. I can't wait to wear one to the bank........ :P
Quick update I met and talked with my friend today today.
Prices should be 10$ each(maybe less depending on interest)+ shipping (this covers sizes up to 3x, larger sizes are available just a little more)
The bitshares logo will be on the front in large print (2 color, just like the actual logo)
The, "I killed the bank" qoute in smaller font under the logo.
On the back a smaller bitshare logo close to the neck line with a list of any DAC's that would like to be listed under the bitshare logo
Shirts can be white or grey and I believe black at no extra charge
He also said hoodies can be made for a few dollars more.
The shirts are screen printed(not iron on) gildan 50/50 blends. Other styles such as collar or even different blends of fabric can be available.
The business is a local business here in town where I know the people and they take pride in there work.
Shirts would be shipped from Pennsylvania, USA.
The mockup should be done on monday and I will post it to this site.
Any questions please ask or send a PM I will respond as quick as I can.
I want a hoody

I agree and will run the final mock-up through Brian once we have one(should be tomorrow). I see no point in bothering them until I have a mock-up though.Quick update I met and talked with my friend today today.

I would check with our marketing guy first. Personally, I don't approve of the slogan. My opinion does not matter, but I would think twice before printing up "Bitshares" shirts with whatever slogan you like underneath...needs to be thought out better.
Ya, mine are pretty safe and harmless. Stan bought one so I figure they are OK :). However, the way the site I used works is that until a certain number are ordered (about 30) they don't go to print. So it's likely that mine will never see the light of day which is fine because my intent was to get the ball rolling.

The 2nd quote wasn't intended for the shirt, just some context for the forum :)
I'm glad I 'I killed the bank' picked up some steam. I still think it will be cool, relevant and attention grabbing.
