[IC] Keycon 2015 Posters

[Lastpilot]

Sorry guys, looks like I spoke too soon on this one.

4/21/15 Announcement: So I've been in many talks with the shirt people today and the current design looks like it would cost $25+ per shirt (CONUS) with an MOQ of 200 units. I'm experimenting with center-aligned mockups to make costs/MOQ more appealing, but its not looking pretty.

TLDR; I'm not getting my hopes up on this one, and I will be focusing on developing the posters for now.

-------------------------




Please specify how many shirts and posters you would be interested in :]

- Official lineart has been provided by Duck0113
- Tek80 version in the works
- Waterbased + Discharge Ink Printing = No "raised" feeling and no peeling [LINK]
- Please post interest for black color version (likely to be black/charcoal triblend)
- T-shirt will undergo design improvements this week. In it's current state the design seems to be lacking structure elements.

- Poster material TBA
- Poster will not include "Lastpilot + Geekhack" on it. It's just on the mockup
- Multiple colorways and versions of the poster will be available - mockups coming tonight
- CMY + dark gray shown above, both kingsaver and tek80 posters = 8 design variations
- Poster sizing _should_ be flexible will update as soon as I know more information


- Pricing TBA
- Update: All poster files will be available for free public download once GB starts. We will see about making GB printing costs competitive, but shipping costs may be too much for some. This gives all users the option of printing locally.



This is only the first draft, I hope to make improvements as we move forward on this (possible keycon + gh logos) . Final product may vary. I think the posters will also be a fun idea, especially getting them signed by users at Keycon. <3 What do you all think?

FAQ:

- Do I need to attend keycon to buy this? No. This is open to everyone.

[VesperSAINT]

IN!!!...side... you <3

[Coconut]

Hell yeeah,

:>

[FrostyToast]

Iunno...
It is the year of the Gatorades.

[Melvang]

Ok, I am throwing my wallet at the screen, how come I don't have a shirt yet??

If possible can we also get that as a high res image for PC background image purposes?

[Joey Quinn]

In for two larges. Maybe instead of a kingsaver we should use Bro's 420 Dank Green Edition.

Edit: Either way, having a board on the shirt is sick!

Or Photekq's Tek 80

Well your wallet was obviously already empty from all the other wallethack.

Already in the works. :]

[asdfjkl36]

Someone just go ahead and open a web store for a bunch of keyboard shirts. I need a new wardrobe!

[Ouro]

Any chance the poster would be available without the quote?

[Melvang]

The only other thing I might request is a black option for the tshirt.  I realize that options add cost and complexity at a non linear rate, but please anything but red and green.

[Lastpilot]

Yeah, I'm pretty back and forth on this myself. Since posters don't have a high MOQ, I may simultaneously offer different versions and colorways.

Also would be interested in black as a second option if possible.

[exitfire401]

Buying at least 2

[Melvang]

Tall sizes will be greatly appreciated from many people as well.

[Lastpilot]

Tall sizes will be greatly appreciated from many people as well.

This should be possible since I am using the American Apparel TR401, so we would just add the TR401TL variation. (similar to how CPTBadAss did his GB last year)

[Badwrench]

I am interested in a poster 

I am very picky as far as shirts and AA just don't fit me, but I do like the design.  What does the fine print under the keycon say?

[Sygaldry]

Interested in one of each =)

[bueller]

I'd love to be in if someone would be willing to ship me one (obviously I'll cover all the costs).

[nubbinator]

Interested in a poster too, especially if there's a TEK80 and TEK60 poster.

[Joey Quinn]

Tall sizes will be greatly appreciated from many people as well.

Maybe an authentic tall tee version, is there any way to get a custom one?

On a serious note, cool colors are the way to go. I vote for purple, blue, or black.

[KatzenKinder]

Any chance the poster would be available without the quote?

Depending on size, it may read more as a design element than something to really be read. I think it's cool either way though

I'm game for a shirt and a poster, if they're available to those not going haha

[CommonCurt]

I'd be in for at least one shirt + one poster.  Possibly two of each.

Throwing my vote in for a black shirt option.

[byker]

I would definitely be down for a poster and likely a shirt. 

[dimmu]

not really a fan of navy blue since i can't it with my jeans, i'd rather have a wine colored version or even a black one if possible. definitely in for one regardless of the color tho.

[dimmu]

double post

[i3oilermaker]

In for the Tee

Awww yeeee. American Apparel shirts  <3.


I'm a little conflicted about the artwork. I think the placement is throwing me off. Seems a little haphazard. Is it possible to see the art moved up towards the chest a little? Currently I'm *way* more into the poster than the shirt. I do like the colorway though.

I agree with you, I also have been feeling that way about the shirt. I hope to have an updated version by the weekend.

[HoffmanMyster]

I'll take two of everything.

[Fire Brand]

I would love a poster but will they be okay to be shipped to the UK and what size will the poster be? A standard Maxi poster size 61×91.5cm to allow them to be framed?

[Lastpilot]

I'll take two of everything.

Just fyi, there may be as many as 10 different poster variations. Cyan, magenta and yellow versions will be made in addition to the dark gray.

And then there will be the size variations tba...

I hope to be able to provide both metric and imperial standard poster sizes. Will keep you updated.

[CPTBadAss]

Ugh Lastpilot you're killing me. Do I really have to get CMY just to have a proper set of posters hanging on the wall?

[Fire Brand]

CMY posters as well

Also thank you lastpilot <3

[HoffmanMyster]

Are you really complaining about having the opportunity to buy CMY posters??  This is amazing.

No my wallet is sad I'm about to shell out for three posters instead of one...and shirts.

[cmadrid]

Black (or dark grey w/e) shirt would be nice, as long as they go up to like 4-5x

[CPTBadAss]

If LastPilot is in fact going with American Apparel 2001 or a similar AA shirt, I believe they only go up to 3X. When I ran my buy last year, I only had sizes up to 3X.

Edit:

This should be possible since I am using the American Apparel TR401, so we would just add the TR401TL variation. (similar to how CPTBadAss did his GB last year)

Looks like LastPilot is going with this shirt which only goes up to 2XL. Tall only goes up to XL.

Right there with you. It'll be worth it to finally have something of mine on the office wall. My fiancée has taken the walls in there over completely.

[agbockus]

I'll probably get one of each? They look great!

Thanks!

Update: All poster files in all sizes will be available for free public download once GB starts. We will see about making GB printing costs competitive, but shipping costs may be too much for some. In this case we give users the option of printing locally.

[mashby]

I'm down for one of each for sure.

[Data]

I like that color so I'd be in for a shirt.

This doesn't imply or require attendance at Keycon, right?

It's open to everyone. :]

[DrHubblePhD]

This just makes me sad that I cant go...

[quake4mhg]

Another new GH tee for the summer, awesomeness! In for the Tee

[hwood34]

definitely in for one of each

[luckyryan333]

I'm down for T-shirt first...
I wish the length of T-shirt would not be so much long as it covers my bottom, and the color would be grey or a similar color.

A tall should be able to do that. LastPilot can correct me or someone who bought one of the 2001TL shirts from my buy can offer an opinion.
