Now do I get a cookie?
Yay!
btw, i know for ages some of you have asked for ARP shirts.   i actually made one at customink.com; if it turns out well i'll make more.  what is one's preference -- t-shirt, polo, ...?
hoody for the datacenter?
up_the_irons: I like polos
me too... I do NOT like cookie thieves.
+2 for polos
Ooo you can get umbrellas on customink.com!
I vote that anyone pre-paying 6mos+ gets a shirt free :)
And I'll cast my vote for t-shirt here.
(Which is great - I only do laundry every other month :)
I have two product-placement t-shirts.
I've got a couple... Most of mine are "witty saying" sorts, the kind you see on thinkgeek et al
I have a tiny stack of solid color Merino wool t-shirts.
brycec: sometimes the pre-paid on 6 months is like $50, and a shirt is $25.  that's a big hit. ;)  (and yeah, that might sound expensive for a shirt, but i went with the "Made in USA" ones on customink, cuz like supporting your own economy is kinda the right thing to do ;)
fair enough. It was just a thought :p I will happily buy a polo.
:)
Though you could offer it "either 10% discount OR a free polo"
yeah maybe on an annual payment
(I'm not seeing a "made in the usa" "polo" on their site, just cotton tshirts)
brycec: yeah i did it for their tshirts
polo's, not sure...  they are already a bit pricey
You think? I did the "quick quote" for 50 Gildan Ultra-cotton Polo (seemed reasonable, albeit probably the upper end) and they're $9.79/ea
(one colour)
Not that I know your budget, but $10 cost, $15 sale price sounds reasonable
(*one colour, front side only)
qty 25 gets you $11.43/ea
brycec: maybe i did something wrong; i was quote like $40 each
Wow! That IS rather pricy
upload a logo, pop it on the left side front, then click quote and see what it says :)
Even if I try 8 colours front, qty 50 is still $17.40/ea, nowhere near your $40.
This reminds me of fiddling with online business card printing things
"but my logo is b&w" "yes but since it's an uploaded image, you're going to be charged for full colour"
customink.com's quickquote fine print "Personalized names and numbers can be added at a cost of $4.50 per name and $2.50 per number."
Oh that's probable for jerseys, nvm
up_the_irons: I did just that, logo upload, get quote for 50 XL, $9.79ea
https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/3167967/screenshot_2013-11-04_14-56-20.png
i musta failed somewhere
brycec: mine was like 9 color front
brycec: even though my logo is only 2 colors...  i think perhaps i gotta tweak that
Isn't the ARP logo just two or thre colors?
yeah
*thqree
heh
but it suggested '9', wtf...
Do you have a vector file you could upload? Maybe there's some jpg softness it's interpreting as "more colours"?
I grabbed the image off graph.arpnetworks.com and it's suggesting just 3 colours (black, purple, light blue)
$12.20/ea with that logo (qty 50 XL)
brycec: that's an old logo, the new one is right on arpnetworks.com
Is it? Is it just the text "ARP NETWORKS"?
... with a pink unicorn jumping over it.
brycec: yup
mike-burns: only in your dreams
That's just text, not a logo :P And in that case, no need to upload the image...
Okay, two colours (black and turquoise, which is as close as I could come to rgb(0,146,220)) is $11.03/ea on the white polo. It looks kinda shitty though :p (Apparently what's stylish on the web does not translate to a tshirt)
https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/3167967/screenshot_2013-11-04_15-08-42.png
brycec: yeah, i understand it is just text which is why i uploaded the logo, cuz it looks better :)
brycec: i mean the "image" version of the text logo.
i have another reference to it...
standby
up_the_irons: find it here: https://ring.nlnog.net/participants/
whoops
brycec: ^^
mmkay
i can't right-click and give you the direct image link cuz i guess it is a background
up_the_irons: On arpnetworks.com? It's just text. On the link, I right-clicked and saved just fine.
https://ring.nlnog.net/images/ring-logos/arpnetworks.png
wow, 8 colours suggested
(Note deselecting colours is not a "live" preview)
yeah and some of the colors are pretty dumb
up_the_irons: All 9 colours, $18.36/ea https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/3167967/screenshot_2013-11-04_15-16-40.png
so that's not too bad
(I might suggest adding the url beneath the logo, too)
i tried that, it doesn't look very good
heh I can understand that
$14.38 if I just upload a screengrab of the logo (only 5 colours) https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/3167967/screenshot_2013-11-04_15-19-45.png
brycec: looks pretty good :)
brycec: wonder if there is a way for you to "send" me that "design" and then I can continue to work on it
https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/3167967/screenshot_2013-11-04_15-18-04.png
That's the only "unique" piece of my "design"
Also, I've already closed it :P
hah ok
tnx for the screengrab
np
(of logo, so i can use it)
