(Of course I won't wait for the pics...)

What logo is on the shirt? The one at the top of the page, or the one in my avatar?

I will probably get a black one, but I would really like a grey shirt with black logo.

FKSSR · « **Reply #2 on:** Wed, 01 April 2009, 14:57:21 »

I'd like to know what the logo is exactly, but I'm interested.

Black on gray would be sweet. Black on red would be super sweet. However, I can live with white on black.

It's the logo in your avatar.

What I want is for members to put the size and number of t-shirts you want and to specify a color scheme (if you want something other than white on black). Once I sort out what everyone wants, we'll see what is feasible color-wise.

Sweet.

I would like one grey shirt with a black logo. How do the sizes run? I would like a Medium if they run kinda big or a Large if they run small. I am 6'0" w/a medium build (about 170 lbs., fairly athletic, SWM, employed... wait, TMI

), so sometimes mediums are too small and larges are too big.

FKSSR · « **Reply #5 on:** Wed, 01 April 2009, 15:37:38 »

Here's my ideal order, I guess you could say:

1 - Medium - Gray shirt with Black logo
1 - Medium - Red shirt with Black logo

bigpook · « **Reply #6 on:** Wed, 01 April 2009, 15:57:23 »

Put me down for 2 Xlarge

wheel83 · « **Reply #7 on:** Wed, 01 April 2009, 16:06:05 »

i'll take 2 mediums...

rdjack21 · « **Reply #8 on:** Wed, 01 April 2009, 17:44:07 »

You can put me down for a couple of the XLarge as well.

EDIT: Maybe you should make those 2XL's instead of XL been sitting at a desk too long and have gotten a little rounder

I have to stop clicking your links. I thought you were crazy before, now I know you're insane!

And iMav, I'll take a t-shirt as well. Believe it or not, I want a 3X (I love loose shirts) adn I would prefer it in red or green, and I'm not fond of black but if that's what you get I'll still buy one. If you get them in different colors, I might take 2.

I'd love to get an official shirt but I guess shipping to Germany would be quite expensive. Much better to print them at a local shop. Is there a high resolution or even vector graphics version of the logo available?

This is from the original T-Shirt Thread. I think this might be sufficient.

If you set something up in Germany, I'd order one too.

Well, I don't have much free time for things like that currently. So, no. I was thinking about stopping by a local print shop on the way home from work. Or maybe order online...

There is a higher resolution version of the logo available, but please ask iMav whether it's OK to use. He's got a copy of it, and so do I. (I'm the one that designed it.)

So you're holding the copyright, aren't you? Bhtooefr, may I kindly ask for your permission to make myself a geekhack t-shirt using your logo?

Aaaand I'd be happy if I could get a copy of the hi-res version, too.

bhtooefr · « **Reply #19 on:** Thu, 02 April 2009, 12:52:40 »

Technically, I do hold the copyright, but as the copyright holder, I'm requesting that you obtain permission from iMav, my licensee, first.

What he said. Well, I'm used to getting shafted for living in Europe!

iMav · « **Reply #21 on:** Fri, 03 April 2009, 01:51:40 »

Feel free to let others use the tshirt logo.

If you want a tshirt, just post what you want. We'll worry about shipping stuff later. (and I won't hold anyone to a commitment if the shipping turns out to be cost prohibitive)

wellington1869 · « **Reply #22 on:** Fri, 03 April 2009, 02:17:32 »

Is there any way I could get the words ('geekhack.org wanna switch') printed in blue or red rather than white? (with the patent diagrams in white)? How customizable is this?

wheel83 · « **Reply #23 on:** Fri, 03 April 2009, 03:07:27 »

you should get a shirt of your avatar. that would be bad ass.

Thirded. And I would like to noncommittally request a medium, white printing on black.

lal · « **Reply #26 on:** Fri, 03 April 2009, 09:54:58 »

Okay, I'd like one Large (white on black is good). I guess a single t-shirt could be put in a large envelope, so shipping shouldn't be too much. Do you accept credit card?

Regarding copyright... the switch diagrams are taken from the patents or some other source we don't have the copyright for, so strictly speaking the whole logo is illegal anyway, no? But thanks for giving your permission, iMav and bthooefr! What about the hi-res version?

bhtooefr · « **Reply #27 on:** Fri, 03 April 2009, 09:56:44 »

All of the patents in question are expired, and are in the public domain.

And, I believe the diagrams themselves enter the public domain immediately.

As soon as I can find the hi-res version, I'll PM you a link, but shipping for a shirt really isn't much.

Eclairz · « **Reply #28 on:** Wed, 15 April 2009, 17:04:06 »

get me one in medium

dougy · « **Reply #29 on:** Thu, 23 April 2009, 20:32:54 »

2 in medium here, gray with black lettering is preferred, but I'll go with whatever

OK, I'll take one in Large.

But I'm not wearing it in any of my local bars. "Wanna Switch?" might be misinterpreted.

iMav · « **Reply #34 on:** Tue, 21 July 2009, 04:49:19 »

It's been a while, but I am now actually pulling the trigger on the shirts. I will be submitting an order at the end of the week that reflects the demand that is listed on the first post of this thread (plus some extras). So, if you want in, want to change what you asked for, or wish to officially back out from a t-shirt request, now is the time to speak up.

kyamei · « **Reply #35 on:** Tue, 21 July 2009, 04:52:21 »

In for one black on red and one black on gray (or if you're just doing one color, that's fine too).

Well crap.

I've been bugging my Aramark friend to get the order submitted and now just found out that he was let go this morning.

So, this is now, again, on hold till I can find another source.

That sucks*. I hope he finds work soon. I guess the economy hasn't quite hit rock-bottom, yet.

For your friend, that is, the t-shirts are a minor thing.

That really stinks. Sorry to hear about your friend.

As far as a source goes why not use CafePress then you can offer up for sale far more than just a t-shirt. Just for reference here is groklaw's stuff page. I think it would be cool to not only get a t-shirt but a coffee/tea mug as well.

Oh here is the link on how to get it all set up and what the different options are http://www.cafepress.com/cp/info/sell/index.aspx?area=learn&page=learn and here is a link that explains how you make money http://www.cafepress.com/cp/info/sell/index.aspx?area=intro_money&page=intro_money

Any ways just my 2 cents worth. I've always thought a cafepress site for geekhack would be cool.
