I decided to go back and redo the artwork as I wasn't real happy with the previous design. I made the new design where I can change the colors of the keys so that I can easily do multiple keysets, and changed over to a closer to OE key profile. I plan on adding a couple different legends using different fonts.

Let me know which keysets you are most interested in seeing and the most requested will get added. Miami is already done

We are looking at about $25 a shirt shipped CONUS. We will also ship internationally, at a higher cost.

We generally use Gildan, and can get up to 3XL, though anything above XL will have a cost adder.

Let us know what you think of pricing, design, ect. I hope to have 2-3 legends and at least 4-5 keysets available by the end of next week.

Cool. I hate typing on DSA but okay with it on my tshirt

Any idea about the cost?

neverused · « **Reply #2 on:** Mon, 09 November 2015, 07:12:50 »

May I ask if any of the proceeds benefit the site or a charity of some sort? Basically, where does the money go?

njbair · « **Reply #3 on:** Wed, 11 November 2015, 00:11:57 »

Interested.

Prankk · « **Reply #4 on:** Wed, 11 November 2015, 07:39:09 »

Definitely interested

Steezus · « **Reply #5 on:** Wed, 11 November 2015, 08:26:23 »

I like the design, if we're doing a geekhack shirt why not use Hack'd by Geeks? I think that would be a cool keyset to print in a shirt.

romevi · « **Reply #6 on:** Wed, 11 November 2015, 12:31:53 »

But I want a 100% t-shirt. What am I going to do with just 60% of it?

ideus · « **Reply #7 on:** Wed, 11 November 2015, 12:35:32 »

I look already geek enough without wearing a T-Shirt with a board printed.

Jumie · « **Reply #8 on:** Thu, 12 November 2015, 17:39:33 »

Liked

Glenmael · « **Reply #9 on:** Thu, 12 November 2015, 17:47:27 »

Interested

Please make it available for internationals

Are you fixed on the angled design or open to suggestions?

If open to suggestions I'd prefer the keyboard angled and the geekhack in full few (not angled) where it can be read with ease proudly

Either was I'm in...

di3gopa · « **Reply #10 on:** Thu, 12 November 2015, 17:52:30 »

Interested! If i could suggest something, maybe making the art smaller they t-shirt would look better, i think it is too big

ddot · « **Reply #11 on:** Thu, 12 November 2015, 18:32:02 »

I've always been partial to shirts with the main logo on the back and a small crest off to one side on the front. Not sure how double sided printing might affect the cost.

Something like the geekhack logo that Badwrench used for his hoodie group buy may be an option.

I like shirts.

anarkari · « **Reply #15 on:** Mon, 16 November 2015, 13:12:46 »

Since we do our printing on a direct to garment printer and not screen printing, I CAN make edits to each shirt fairly easily, including printing on the back, colors, ect without a ton of set up time. Let me know what options you would be interested in, and I will work to get a listing up on our shop this week, I assume so far, back printing with a small logo on front, straight text as opposed to tilted. I've also been thinking of doing something like the pixel art for the keyboards, SO I could do each persons specific keyboard if you want to link me the art?

cryptokey · « **Reply #16 on:** Mon, 16 November 2015, 14:49:51 »

I'd be more interested in a black shirt but I like the design. Any ideas about pricing?

mogo · « **Reply #17 on:** Mon, 16 November 2015, 15:04:12 »

Cool of you to offer your services Anarkari! A version for a black or slate gray shirt would be pretty rad, I like the oblique angle on the art as it is.

Be careful about offering all kinds of choices though, it's easy to get bogged down with ideas from all directions!

My own keyboard collection's pixel art on my shirt? Whoa, amazing.

But I think I prefer a "less is more approach" with my tshirts.

Added new artwork, let me know your thoughts on it.

mogo · « **Reply #20 on:** Sun, 13 December 2015, 02:40:01 »

Looks really good! I liked the original art a lot, but that is also something I would proudly wear in public. Also, 1976 please! I know it's not an OE profile set but the colors are just wonderful and iconic. Deep Space would look pretty slick with just a nice gray + purple.

sircheddar · « **Reply #21 on:** Wed, 16 December 2015, 22:21:10 »

I'm down for one count me in haha they are so cute

cryptokey · « **Reply #22 on:** Wed, 16 December 2015, 22:34:43 »

Great update on the designs. I'm interested! Penumbra and Dolch (because why not) would look nice in my opinion.

Edit: I agree with Steezus on Hack'd by Geeks; it would look great on a shirt and be very appropriate for a GeekHack t-shirt! Also, just noticed that insanely professional background haha

sircheddar · « **Reply #23 on:** Thu, 17 December 2015, 00:30:47 »

i am not sure how hyperfuse looks w/ 60 percents, but that set imo is extremely aesthetically pleasing. pom jelly is cute too. and my newest favorite, the pbt4 ivan's Japanese set. my new life goal is to get one. goodluck..

Lokomotivet · « **Reply #24 on:** Thu, 17 December 2015, 01:58:10 »

No ISO..?

Nah, just kidding.
Hella cool but it depends on what kind of Gildan tshirt. I'm not a big fan of the heavy cotton model as it feels kinda rough/paper-isch.

I agree on Hyperfuse, this is my Winkeyess I finished Sunday

I work a full time job that usually ties me up until late during the week (too late to work on the artwork), so I will try to have everything up and available Saturday or Sunday. Right now I'm thinking 1976, Hyperfuse, Hackd by Geeks, Dulch and Deep Space (oh and Miami), sound good?

Awesome! Love the Hyperfuse (would it be a teal esc key btw? like it would be on a 60%?)

mashby · « **Reply #32 on:** Thu, 17 December 2015, 14:35:47 »

Penumbra and Nostalgia (Charcoal and orange) would be awesome.

Quick update with mockups on the keysets I plan on offering. I should have them up tomorrow in the artisans forum. Sorry about the lack of variety in legends, its a royal pain to make them look correct.

Miami

Hack'd by Geeks

1976

Hyperfuse

DeepSpace

Nice, I like the more understated colourways, the 1975 and Miami are a bit bright for my liking, good job!

Looks like I'm gettin' me a 1976 shirt, and maybe a Hack'd too.

Just a thought, but you may want to ask the original creators for permission before offering their designs on shirts.

mogo · « **Reply #43 on:** Sat, 19 December 2015, 13:44:07 »

I was thinking about it last night, you might want to mock up a no-color version, just the outline and shading of the keyboard, but with no fill. It could be classier and depending on the shirt printer, reducing your colors to just black and white may save cost.

anarkari · « **Reply #44 on:** Sat, 19 December 2015, 13:47:51 »

Messaged all the creators, and did receive permission. Will do the same on any additional keysets we add also.

Im going to second the less is more comment from above.

I think the keyboards are a tad larger than they should be, but then again Im likely the person who would just want a shirt with geekhack written on it. Anything more than that and I feel like too much of a geek.

They design will be a little smaller than the mock ups (probably around 80% of the size). I blew the artwork up a little bit to make sure they are legible. We can print this size, but it generally looks better a bit smaller.
