Title: LAN XI - Promotional Merchandise
Post by: sheepy on January 22, 2007, 01:48:42 PM
I think me and GM should have the Games covered. We have already separated jobs and are communicating about  several issues, i think we have it covered.

Also, not that I want to take all the jobs but i have started looking in to some polo shirts for the LAN.

Simple design
Black
silver logo in between the shoulder blades
-=[dMw]=-
 LAN XI
March 07

or even just
-=[dMw]=-
LAN XI

Cost would b about £12 - £15 each including server donation. Do u want me to keep going with this or not?

also I have discoverd an option of having lan fleeces.
along the same lines as shirts, these would be £17-20 but if u want me to do this then ill run a poll on what is wanted, these are "overhead" fleeces with a zip from mid chest to the zip up neck

Good work sheepeh,

It's a tough one with the 'March 07' bit as the place name really screws up the date somewhat. Perhaps it has to be more generic - such as Cambridgeshire or summat?

Good work and you're now offically appointed a LAN Merchandiser whether you like it or not!

PS. We also have a fair few keyrings left I would have thought so perhaps we can update those and flog them as well?

I have no place to really comment, but if you are going to do memorabilia I would go with either;

A blatant piece of dMw, keyring, drinks mat, mug etc..

Or, if you want clothing, something sublte that might look like a normal shirt that's wearable outside the computer geek circle.

March in April is begging to be included, a stylized picture of the dive that is March....start here - http://www.picturesofengland.com/pictures/500/March_1139625174.jpg

I'm just thinking that it would be nice to have a t-shirt I didn't use for the decorating, but could wear elsewhere...

A Poll will be started soon regarding this.

When the decision has been made then I will ask for orders. They will have to be pre-ordered so that I know quantity's and sizes.

First will be a Poll on exactly what item will be chosen , then there will b a poll for the position of the logo on the item.

I'd go for the logo on front left:

  -=[dMw]=-
March or Die

No LAN no. or year (constant revenue stream y'see).  You could change the shirt/embroidery colour to indicate which LAN it was for, maybe?

That a very good idea there doggers. I Think that a shirt every lan is a bit overkill tho. maybe in the future there can b a shirt in the spring lan and something else in the autumn lan. different shirt for each year.

as I said last time - those who want a t-shirt can quite easily get one done at a jessops (or similar) for around the same price as discounted online bulk deals. The embroidered polo-shirts seemed to involve a very high "set-up" cost due to the complexity of the image put forward. Simple, straight-forward text or blocky monotone designs for embroidery for decent prices IIRC!

polo shirts this time. I have already looked in to this. Doing a glass again would b cool but a new original design would be needed for that, maybe do that for the Oktoba lan?
