Well, there's been brought up the subject of possibly doing DV merchandise (esp. shirts). Personally, I think that it'd be a good idea, though offering them commercially wouldn't be so bright considering the current size of our forum. One way that should work is offering iron-on designs to download and print off from the site, so that users can print the design onto an iron-on sheet of paper and then transfer it to a shirt. Some of the designs could be pretty simple-- A slightly modified version of the banner on the back accompanied by a small logo on the front. The banners are pretty much done for us already--we can just scroll through the topic from when we were brainstorming new banners from the site.
To modify said banners for a shirt is simple--Open the file in photoshop or something similar, flip it horizontally, and save it as a new file. Done. Just print it onto iron-on paper and apply it to the shirt.
The big question is the logo. We don't really have a small logo that could be placed on the front of the shirt. So, that's what the thread is about--brainstorming ideas for images on shirts. Personally, I'd think a small, round or square image for the front and the banner for the back should suffice nicely, but if you've got another idea, please post it! Since we haven't ever done this before, it'll be interesting to see everybody's viewpoints to maximize the success of the effort.
EDIT:
This is one of the banners I'm interested in using:

I'll get a photoshopped version done tomorrow or Sunday, but no guaruntees, since I just got back into school and even my weekends are cramped with homework. Please post any banner prototypes, sketches, ideas or finished images if you come up with any.
