Title: t-shirts - new progress
Post by: Troy on December 05, 2012, 08:48:28 PM
sup gang!

sorry i've been absent. i've been working far too much.

i've met with my screenprinting business partner, as well as his illustrator.
There's a few more logo ideas in the works, but right now one of marty's is the primary contender.

The plan is to get the price of shirts at a level that's affordable.
We'll offer them for sale.

We can either sell them for the actual cost, or add a dollar to help cover the cost of this site.

If you're interested in a t-shirt, please share your interest here so I have an estimate on how many to make.
They'll be screenprinted by a high quality printer and on a high quality shirt.

I am also going with two, large usually does it for me unless they are the type that shrink to half the size.  Which logo is the top contender right now?

That's a fair call
So remember that when I go and move your parcel (another gas kettle )
It might give me a rager

Quote from where's this gasser in kettles and accessories
They say things happen in 3's
First I picked up Grandpa's old gasser
Then Golly picked up the same model but in green a week later
And finally I grabbed this one during the week
It looks like an older model, can't wait for it to arrive

Post by: davethepom on January 13, 2013, 11:45:18 PM
I'm in!  Is there a pic of the final design?

An XL here please.

There's surely a thread, early in the plot, about this.  I'm only new here  ;D , so haven't seen it.  As a base colour, a fat spatter proof one might be the go. 

Just a thought.


Title: Re: t-shirts - new progress
Post by: Craig on January 15, 2013, 04:48:41 AM
I thought I had responded to this, but count me in for a 2XL when the final design is complete.  ;)
Title: Re: t-shirts - new progress
Post by: Troy on January 15, 2013, 07:58:15 PM
There's a bit of delay on the logo.

Marty made several kickass logos, one of which I really like.
If this other designer doesn't convert his napkin drawing to a graphic soon I'll probably just go with the last iteration of Marty's.

I'm interested. Size large. Please keep us posted on progress.

Price wise - round up a little to make a couple bucks for the site.

sadly, no.

I really like Marty's vent design - but as a logo, it just doesn't work for me.
Title: Re: t-shirts - new progress
Post by: MartyG on January 17, 2013, 01:39:56 AM
We can always have the vent design made up as a t-shirt, but agree with Troy - it isn't the right logo for the club. maybe his printing buddy can work something out once we're settled on a final design for the club logo.

totally.

i think a shirt with the logo on the front pocket area, and the big vent design on the back would be badass.

I was thinking....maybe this sounds silly but what about putting an "A" where a date code would be. Instead of meaning 1979, it could be the 'Clubs sign that WKC is the "A" place for Weber kettle knowledge and experiece. Or it could mean that WKC is where the A team of Weber collectors hang out. Just a thought, maybe not....  :-\

How about replacing the "Restore Reuse Respect" with  "Weber Kettle Club" on top and then "Is the Weber Authority" on the bottom.

Or how about "Rescue Restore Reuse"

I like your saying Duke. It makes a bit more sense as to what we all actually do. just my opinion.

either way, it's pretty cool !!

Here's the latest version. Will look into how many color variations are practical once a printer is brought into the conversation.

Minor tweak - the hyphen at the left after Rescue was misplaced. It was bugging me like an offset leg on a Kettle.

Post by: glrasmussen on January 24, 2013, 05:29:26 AM
Thanks Marty, for putting all the effort into this Logo. I have printed it off, to see about some options.
I know Troy had said earlier he had an partner in this business. I have a some connections also. I was thinking it might be able to be printed in Dye Sublimation Ink.(Basically Iron on) Not much space for inventory needed. Inventory cost would be lower and it would be available to new members as they join.  Size ranges of shirt or style are countless then. But the logo stays with this sight. Put some mark-up for sight maintenance, plus possibly have it printed in a smaller version for a pocket logo(would work on a hat). Not trying to step on anybodies toes here, if I am let me know.

Greg
Title: Re: t-shirts - new progress
Post by: MartyG on January 24, 2013, 07:11:11 AM
I'm all for iron on too - I need tall-sized shirts, and they are often hard to come by. Keep in mind there will be another logo for the club that is better suited for the front pocket etc. Stay tuned for more on that. I have a few more ideas for "fun" logos that would be nice to add to the mix, but we're trying to get past this first step first. Your help, ideas, connections etc. are more than welcome, and I can provide hi-res art for this or any future stuff I come up with. I'm as interested as you (and everyone else)  in moving forward with this. We'll know more after the Chicago meet this weekend.

We were getting some logos done where I work and like I told them, caps are great, you can wear them every day if you want. That daisy wheel would look sweet on a cap, then when I prowl the flea markets maybe someone would spot it and tell me about the old Flattop Weber they've got in their barn :)

So the Chicago Mob has spoken. The BACK of the Club t-shirt will include this emblem. No more changes, inputs, cash under the table or petty gripes. (Well, maybe a little cash...) Working on the front now.

I was planning black shirts. White print. Red grill. Shirt colors are easy to vary. But print colors are not.  The above configuration would be 3 screens for the screen printer.
