hahninator Posted February 26, 2009 Posted February 26, 2009 Please submit all of your merch ideas, pictures, artwork, etc for us here. Deadline is March 10, and voting will begin shortly afterwards. We are still debating whether to have just t-shirts, or hoodies, long-sleeved shirts, and hats as well. Thanks!
Sepol Posted February 26, 2009 Posted February 26, 2009 (edited) I made this real quick: It's black and white, but the colors can be changed to fit other shirt colors; I know people complain about LP and LPU shirts being always black, lol. (Yes, I know about the typo, I'll fix that tomorrow ) edit: forgot to say: LPLIve T-shirts sound like a good idea to me Keep up the good job, guys Edited February 26, 2009 by Sepol
hahninator Posted February 26, 2009 Author Posted February 26, 2009 That is badass! I'd love to have that on a black shirt. I personally love black shirts but I'm sure some people want white or something else. Perhaps we'll have to have a vote on what colors to have too, haha. I'd like to keep it to a minimum but I mean we can have a bunch if the members want it. Anyway very nice, I love the first submission
sizedude Posted February 27, 2009 Posted February 27, 2009 nice, I like! but is it me or does that look like fot or is it just the font? sweet idea, I'll try and come with a design shortly.
hahninator Posted February 27, 2009 Author Posted February 27, 2009 He said he'll fix the typo soon. Otherwise it looks great.
hahninator Posted February 27, 2009 Author Posted February 27, 2009 I think price-wise I can get shirts as low as $15 + S/H
hahninator Posted February 27, 2009 Author Posted February 27, 2009 Also, can you make that in 1000x1000? I'm messing around with Cafepress and shit online - no idea if I'll use it but it's worth a shot...see if you can get that in a higher res and also one with a white and a gray background.
cavpollo Posted February 27, 2009 Posted February 27, 2009 just one quick opinion, there should be variety of colors for the shirts, cuz there are way too many black shirts sold by LP and a colored one would attract more attention to the website
Jen Posted February 27, 2009 Posted February 27, 2009 I will work on a few other ideas in the next few days. =)
Alexonlyalex Posted February 27, 2009 Posted February 27, 2009 A very nice idea, what are going to do with the money youll get for the shirts? And whats about europe and asia, how you want to sell the shirts there?
Sepol Posted February 27, 2009 Posted February 27, 2009 Okay, I fixed the "fot" See full version (1000x1000) here. Hahninator, you want versions with white and grey backgrounds, and the rest with any specific color? I made this white-background version just to see how it would be: See full version (1000x1000) here. Glad you liked it If I have the time and inspiration I'll put some more sugestions here.
hahninator Posted February 27, 2009 Author Posted February 27, 2009 Well it depends on who I sell them through. I'm sure I can get somewhere that ships internationally. Let me find a few online sellers and see if it's easier to sell them that way than rather do it myself (lots of work, but I can do it). The designs look great - thanks very much. "A very nice idea, what are going to do with the money youll get for the shirts?" I am not going to make any profit off of them. I will sell them exactly how much the shirts cost + Shipping/Handling. I don't need any money from these and I'd rather more people be able to buy them because they are cheaper.
Antje Posted February 27, 2009 Posted February 27, 2009 LPLive Shirts - nice idea! Ok, I made this.... Well, I like black shirts...
vitorpacheco Posted February 27, 2009 Posted February 27, 2009 (edited) i'll work on a design for the next week. i guess i'll come up with a good idea. i got these so far. Edited February 28, 2009 by vitorpacheco
LPPRJKT4 Posted February 28, 2009 Posted February 28, 2009 (edited) I'll try to come up w a good design, I wanna mess around w/ this pic to see if I can come up w/ anything. This is also great timing cuz we started photoshop in my desktop publishing a couple of weeks ago so now I'm pretty good w/ it!!! Idk tho, am I allowed to use an R2R pic?

LPxDC Posted February 28, 2009 Posted February 28, 2009 Hahn we should hold a contest or something. have everyone submit something and put it to a sitewide vote.
Papelbon Posted February 28, 2009 Posted February 28, 2009 Hahn we should hold a contest or something. have everyone submit something and put it to a sitewide vote. Pretty sure hes gonna post a poll after the due date.
Craig_McC Posted February 28, 2009 Posted February 28, 2009 I'll see if I can come up with something. I would love to help get this thing going!
hahninator Posted March 6, 2009 Author Posted March 6, 2009 All of these submissions are amazing! thanks very much you guys I love them.
shadowfax1007 Posted March 7, 2009 Posted March 7, 2009 just a word of warning for anyone designing shirts: be careful using images that are copyrighted (such as the LP logo). without direct permission from the image owner, some printing companies will refuse to print products for you. I ran into legal trouble with CafePress awhile ago. my whole shirt was designed from scratch, except for one tiny image on the shirt, and because of that one image they refused to print the shirt. so just so everyone knows, logos, professional photos (live and photoshoots), album art etc is all copyrighted.
Craig_McC Posted March 7, 2009 Posted March 7, 2009 (edited) Just a quick question about what design elements you are looking for? What kind of things are you wanting on the shirt? tour dates that your going to, the full "LPlive.Net" or will "LPlive" suffice?, Do you want the "Made for the fans, by the fans" on it aswell or not?, do you want me to do a logo on its own as well so you can put it on a hat for example. This may seem like a load of questions but I'm totally down to do loads to get this thing going. I want to see these shirts happen so I can rep LPlive in the UK I'm just coming up with concept ideas at the minute and im going with a sci-fi/tech feel. kind of like the reanimation artwork stuff. When I'm done with a little idea I will post it up here. EDIT: This my initial concept for the LPlive logo I was working on a 1500x1500 just so the image can be hi-res EDIT 2: Just created a 2nd logo idea I also change that design a bit so you can even put tour dates on the design if you wished I didn't put a lot of dates on the design but you can see how it would look like if dates were to be put on.
