Sounds really ok. Maybe be we should start collecting shure orders ?

I guess the next queston is about the logo.

This is definitely open for discussion -- I was thinking about the blue empeg logo, with a black outline for light colored shirts, and a white outline for dark colored shirts. Comments?

Also - empeg guys:

I know we want to keep the proper aspect ratio, but is there a logo size that you'd prefer we use?

What is necessary to get permission to use the logo? (the embroiderer is going to require a written statement of some sort)

What are the Pantone, RGB, etc. values for the blue used in the logo? (I'm not sure what info the embroider is going to need yet)

Thanks,

Rob Schofield and his wife produced a small run of embroidered empeg T-Shirts about a year ago. Have you considered asking him if he'd be interested in producing this batch? Presumably he already has the program for his machine.

I would want to see the design or a sample, and then I will provide whatever permissions are required. I'll have to check with Rio Legal, but I'm sure there won't be a problem.

David (dmoss@riohome.com) produced the now-defunct empeg style guide, so he should be able to provide you with the design criteria that you need.

I thought I wasn't allowed to sell them, though? That's primarily why I haven't said anything on this thread.

We can run off "empeg" logo shirts, or "empeg" with a small Tux, and any additional text (in a limited number of font faces). The colours were only pale blue or white, various sizes.

Shouldn't be a problem. If things move forward I'll get permission for you from our marketing communications types.

Didn`t browse the whole thread - too long now, but I still think nothing has been decided, 2 polo`s would be nice

Well, unless someone else can step up to the plate and organize the project, i might just have my room-mate paint the shirts up. I'd be happy with just a T-shirt with the logo painted, or ironed on. I know i can purchase the materials to do that for a few shirts.

I would however, prefer the polo shirts with the embroider logo, but I honestly don't have the time to organize that.

If anyone is interested in a simple t-shirt with a simple painted design, email me at chip@Jungle.net. I'm sure I can make a hand full of these, otherwise, i'll just wait to see if someone else can put the time and resources into making a polo shirt for everyone.

The response on this thread is great, so i'm sure it can be done.

I'll talk to my roommate tonight, and try and get prices from him. I'm not sure what the T-shirts would cost. I'm talking about the really nice, thick kinds. (plus the ink and other materials)

I would be interested. Let me know where to send my money.

I think it's a bank holiday in yUK today.

i wondered why the telly was so crap today

No, nothing has been sent to me to approve.

Rob

okay rob what kind of approval do we need from you and could you supply us with a nice diigtal compy of the empeg logo and the penguin ( i like the peguin)

Also if you have knowledge of a good compan that does t shirts could you tell us about it

Also where is my free rio t shirt after filling out the survey.

If the person who is going to take on the task of producing these shirts contacts me by email (rvoisey@riohome.com) I'll sort out the details with him. Would you guys hate to have a (small) Rio logo on the shirt in addition to the (large) empeg logo?

I know of a good company in Cambridge that does shirts - we've used them for all the meet shirts. In fact I'm stopping by there this week with the artwork for the next Amersfoort meet shirt, so I'll check out their quantity pricing. It might be better for the person who takes this on to use a local company, though.

Survey T-Shirts are going out now (they only arrived a couple of days ago - supplies were late). Sorry it took so long.

Rob

i can see your logic as to havin the small rio logo

Out of intrest what is the amersfoot t shirts going to be like as we might be able just to order a few more of those or are they going to be special for the meet

The meet shirt is specific to the meet - a momento just for those that attend. As with the last Amersfoort shirt and the Woodside shirt, it will include the date and location of the meet.

Rob

I don't think i want a rio logo on my shirt. I think mainly because i just want to remember where the origional came from. empeg made it possible, they did all the work.

-CHiP

I agree, no Rio logo please. Wouldn't be a pain in the ass, but I'd prefer a plain polo with empeg on it... rio is ... well, aren't they just kinda distributor who also produces the player now? At least they didn't create it...

Maybe you could make a polo shirt with the empeg logo on the front breast and rio on the lower sleeve.

I've seen this with other techie shirts and it looks good.
