DV shirts- what do you want on them?

Hey Paris,

Are you talking about making a mass quantity run on shirts? I was thinkin' about making my own shirt once using that iron-on paper that you can get at OfficeMax or most computer supply places. It's a paper that you can print on from your home printer and then transfer onto a t-shirt using an iron.

By using this method each shirt could be customized - notice my avatar in the mockups for my shirt below:
FRONT:

BACK:
http://mywebpage.netscape.com/JoeAtA...hirts-back.gif

I haven't come up with a design I'm happy with myself yet, but it's another option you might want to consider.

Tornado Joe, I really like the "front" t-shirt.. it's a cool idea to have your avatar on there!

F*ck t-shirts!!! we need advertisement posters!!! plant them at every corner of every street of th world!!!

and they should look like this:

or this:

If we don't put the URL on it, then what's the point? And why do you consider it "dorky" anyway? URLs are advertised everywhere these days -- the Internet isn't just for geeks any more, you know.

Sorry, but that comment just kinda irked me for some reason.

I think the best idea is "Are you dreaming?" on the front, and the URL on the back (and please don't make it "R U Dreaming?")

Good for getting attention. I would just add a choice of a dozen different names (Front)i.e.: \"You're not an Einstein...\"
(Back)
...but if you were dreaming, you could be.

With different variations for different personalities.

Yay! My idea was noticed-ed! And you liked-ed it too! :D Thanks!

Simple is better. I'm with the "Are You Dreaming?" text on the front and the URL on the back..with the only variations being in shirt and print color.

I still cannot wear T-shirts to work. I want a coffee mug. Overall, they seem to be cheaper than shirts.

$39+ setup fee and then <$5 each. Price goes down in bulk.

So I'm confused now, who is now heading up and organizing this operation?

so when and where should i expect my shirt!! 8) i wanna be the coolest kid in
my block.

Heres one more suggestion. How bout ...In Your Dreams

and the LD website on the back

Well, I guess I'll head this operation, as it seems no one else is interested. I can easily get T-shirts made in bulk from a local T-shirt-maker guy.

How about........DREAMNES !!!!!!!!!!!!!!OR NES DREAM !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!(LOL). Or Nes For Pres !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!.

with a shirt that says "are you dreaming" it can likely come up in a conversation then you tell them all about luciding and dreamveiws, much more likely for the person to actually come(and stay longer) here if you really tell them about it rather than they just see the URL

In addition, where I am urls on shirts are still pretty dorky.(not dissing anyone, but they are where I am)

Paris-

Just make em good. i know where you live.





FYI- hes a victom of my on-going lucid dream advertisement campaign, and seeker's biz cards :)
1 out of 300,000 is not a bad ratio...

hahah ill tryy

um i think there should be different ones, like 5 of 'em.
one that says: YOU ARE DREAMING on the front, and has a dreamviews.com ad on the back. thats the only good one i can think of. i'll think about it tho.

I'm a more "professional" kind of person, so huge lettering or pictures don't seem that appealing to me, personally. I like the simple "Are you dreaming?" on a black, grey, or dark blue shirt with "Dream Views" on the back. I also think having the URL is corny, but it could help to carry around some of the business cards when wearing the shirt *wink wink*

Anyone like the idea of having the "Are you dreaming?" upside down? That way a person could look down and see it straight up, more as a reality check, and it could potentially intreigue other people. Just a thought.

Oh, and Mu (man, that's a wierd change :P )
"You may not be Shamu..."
"But in your dreams you could eat him."
[/weak-sauce]

That upside down thing would be great.

woah cryo those rule. they are friggin hilarious.

for the "am i dreaming" part, it might be cool to make the text with weird fonts and maybe some blurry characters. or just make the whole line blurry or fuzzy looking. like an RC gone BAD, or just some blurry, trippy text

Yeah, I think uspside down 'are you dreaming' no question mark, all lower case, is the coolest way to go. Id buy some if you can really get them printed. I dont care for the URL either, but if youre making the shirt its your choice I suppose.

Well, maybe I'm in the minority here, but if the entire point of this exercise is to get more eyeballs on the web site, it seems like a no-brainer that the URL should be somewhere on the shirt. It doesn't have to be the most prominent feature, but I think it's a mistake to expect people to approach you and ask about the shirt, so that you can give them a business card or tell them about the site. IMHO, an awful lot of people are going to notice the shirt, but not say a word.

I like Muhjah's idea :)

uhhh, i didnt think the shirt was to spread the word, ill make a poll asking id u want the url on the back of the t shirts

im making them to appeal to the public

I gave my reply in that thread. I'm neutral on the URL now, but I think it would look better on the sleeve if that could be managed.

yah, i agree man. if it has to be small, then so be it...even truncated to "dreamviews.com"...it just feels like it should be there.

but, in this case the majority of the people would have to decide if it's in or out, since they'd be wearing them.


regardless, thanks for all the great input everyone!
