This has been around since 2008, but has never really been promoted.

If you have ideas for different graphics...feel free to PM them to me.

I love the iMav gear.  I'm thinking about the coffee mug and a T-shirt.

If there is something you don't see that you want (different shirt/graphic options, long sleeve, sweatshirt, etc), just let me know.  Quick and easy to add additional offerings.

That coffee mug and T-shirt is a must have. I'm debating myself if I should get something else too. Just wondering if the coffee mug would survive shipping to Finland..

I hope cafepress has improved their quality. I sold shirts through them in high school and the printing wore off in a few weeks. Folks were not happy. They looked like they'd been printed on some cheap fabric printer.

Obviously, the next question is, "Is there a demand for iMav's face on keycaps?"

I'm going to wait for someone to write some comments about the quality of these shirts.
ripster: Which T-shirt or shirts did you get?

Somehow it looks a lot better when it's white on dark background.

I have a geekhack sweatshirt (hoodie) that I bought from them that is really nice.  Haven't had any problems with the graphics.

The tshirts I have are from another vendor.  My contact left the company before I could organize a group buy.

I would love an iMav or geekhack hoodie. And I think I'm definitely ordering the mug...though I've converted most of my office except for one girl who loves her chicklet too much to give it up.

iMav: if there's any interest at all, feel free to use my EEK - ACK! GH
avatar as the basis for any media you see fit (of course I'll have to send you the higher res original...  That is if you even remember or give a crap about it.  I was just thinking of anything I had that might fit the bill.

Sure.  Send it to me.  And let me know what type of items you'd like to see it on.

The one limitation with cafepress is that you can't have the same items with different logos.  But you can have different items with different logos.

feel free to provide different pics.  They need to be high res, preferably single color and with a transparent background.

I have zero graphics skills.  :)

Awesome, love the store...

Questions... are those darker shirts printed on, or available on American Apparel tees?

Will any of these items ever be out of stock, or does cafepress print them upon order?

+1 for the iMav mug mug, and iMav mug t-shirt.

When you get your stuff, don't forget to post pics of it in the GeekHack Swag photos thread (http://geekhack.org/showthread.php?t=14152)!

iMav, I have been aware of the store for some time, and it was(is) my intention to order some swag, but where did all the old designs go?

There was only one graphic previously...that is the one with the different switches.  Now there is that and the iMav headshot.  If there is an item you would like with either of the graphics, let me know and I can add it to the store.

The one caveat to the cafepress store is that you can only offer one design per item type.  So, for instance, I could not offer the same coffee mug with two different graphics.

Which items were you looking for and what graphic do you want on them?

funny, maybe I have been dreaming. I could have sworn that when I looked in the summer there were more "geekhack" items, similar to the GH logo. and one with geekhack in keycaps. is it possible Im going insane?

meh. ok, so who makes the tees? I have a "no kicking penguins" shirt that I THOUGHT I got from Cafe Press, that is an AA shirt. I like the AA shirts because I know they fit.

Title: geekhack cafepress store
Post by: instantkamera on Thu, 13 January 2011, 11:06:39

nm. I got it from "zazzle.com". They are great, because you upload the design, and the buyer can chose the shirt style and make that they want (and the buyer is charged accordingly).

F*** Zazzle - why you guys have to look at obnoxious watermarks.  (actually, I'll do a Zazzle versus CafePress post in the Other Geeky Stuff Forum after I do some pics).

I have no issues with my zazzle t, and I dont give a **** what they watermark. I do know that AA shirts fit my body very well, so I like to have the choice. Threadless T's are similar. I have a ton of those.

No, Ripster's talking about his watermarks.  Zazzle stole his picture for the Space Saver T.  The pic is Ripster's "International" Space Saving M.

sorry, I read that as why DO we have to look at their annoying watermark, not as why we have to see "Ripster" on every picture of his. I WAS aware of the theft of his photo, but was that zazzle proper, or someone who up-loaded it? If it's the latter, I dont see how they are ANY different from cafe press or other sites which have user submitted content.

Edit: I checked and it was user submitted, and there's even a "report violation" link on the page:

http://www.zazzle.com/space_saver_tshirt-235413329668433084

rip, if I were you I would get on that ****.
