.org 'donator shop'

Postby SQ » Sun Dec 11, 2011 8:34 am

Maybe this would be better suited to suggestions... Meh.

So at random I was looking for the .org's cafepress store (which I found out closed in 2003. Damn I'm old).
This got me to thinking-- Can't we sell .org merchandise with all the different logos and stuff (since those are our creations and don't have anime in them normally) and use the profits to go to the .org?

I doubt the turn out would be overtly amazing, but it'd be kind of cool to have, I thought. And with all the different sites that exist for this sort of thing now (Zazzle is the one I'm thinking of, but I know there's others), simply having a store wouldn't cost you anything. Most sites seem to just give you a commission for your design or referrals.

So, uh. Discuss? And stuff.

We've had a zazzle store since 2008ish. It would be great if it was updated with all the logos though.

Ah - nice. Any way to get the 10th anniversary graphic that has all of them at once onto something?

/just bought a tote, all the buttons, and a new travel mug to replace the one I lost at tekko this year.

Oh cool, I like the shirt with Brad's logo even though the black text underneath it is almost impossible to read on any darker color like blue or black.

I'm kinda disappointed with the shirts made from Pas's awesome Org Tans :( Really boring and nerdy looking with the whole "here's an animu-chick's head and some text." It's a shame that someone doesn't do his excellent designs justice instead of just cropping them and slapping them on there.

For what it's worth, I did vectorize all of the images I was given (this one and this one to be specific)

Could we put this on the member's page navigation somewhere?
I couldn't find it listed anywhere.

And is the _Org zazzle account a shared account? Or who controls it?
And if I wanted to help design shit (I have my own zazzle account as well), who would I talk to to see about getting access?

Of course in this case by 'design' I just mean... Using Zazzle's editor to make the designs look better/more customizable.

Basically, Otohiko and I are current in charge of the storefront, as I'm the Donations Manager and Oto is the Storefront Guru. So, you can feel free to send him or I PMs about storefront issues, etc.

You'll have to be more specific on this ... :uhoh:

If you have ideas, suggestions, improved designs etc. - please do talk to me. I am not a professional designer by any means and my goal was simply to offer a basic selection of shirts, mugs, buttons etc. with ready-made logos that people could easily customize to their own tastes. If you've got a design in mind, I'd be more than happy to help make it happen.

It was more along the lines of taking the stuff you already have and arranging it in a way either more appealing to the eye and/or in something that I'd buy.

I'm not toting any amazing designs myself here. xP
Anyway I had ideas originally but right now I don't have time. If I do, though. I'll just design a private listing and give you the link via PM or something. Then I think you can either use "customize" button, change nothing, and post it for sale yourself or... Duplicate the design easily enough. Px
