[NiceGuysFinishLast]

It should also be GStwin.com, not GStwins..

[zephler]

the e model, this still needs as bit of work to get the image better quality but it is ok for the basic idea....



and in white



now on to the "F" model  think I'll get a few of these for myself, will change the text to GStwins.com if people prefer...








if you'd like to see different colours, text etc shout out happy to experiment and I'll get to it as soon as I can.......

I love these, and I would love to have one. The pics for the F look nice too, although I'd prefer they say gstwins instead of GS500F. Thanks for assembling these, I'd definitely buy one of these on a shirt.

I'm gonna bump this again, like I said, we've always got great ideas and nice designs and then the original poster disappears and the thing fails. Is anyone willing to carry the burden of printing these/ putting them on Cafepress? I think we've got some good designs that are nearly finalized so it shouldn't be too much more work.

I am waiting to hear back from John to make sure he is ok with everything.  Then I will post a thread so I can get an idea of how many we will be ordering.  The more we order the price will be cheaper.  I haven't forgotten about this.  And we will make it happen!

If you start a new thread, can you link it from here?

[cosmiccharlie]

Will do!

[Unnamed]

Awesome, thanks for being on top of things.

[zephler]

ok, a few more designs 

I'll start with my personal favourite even though I'd prefer the "F" model I kind of like this one, not sure how it would turn out printed on a tshirt though......



pretty much same as above but on black and grey, I don't think it looks that great on black  grey and white seem ok though.....



here are others I've been playing around with..








again, all comments, suggestions welcome... 

[frankieG]

great job on all of them

I like the way you're going.  I made one little change to the text, just a thought that popped up.  I'm not necessarily suggesting that font, size, or position.  However, I would try to keep the text to a minimum.  GStwin.com is all that's necessary, I think. 



Whatever you do, get an E and an F on the shirt.  That way everybody can be happy.   

Regardless of what you do, I'll buy one if the come in my size and the proceeds go into the site upkeep kitty.

I like this design but I would want permission from the person that made it before I used it.

I agree, I like this design.  As soon as we get permission I would like to roll on it, but until then we're stalled.

I haven't disappeared...I'm just monitoring the thread until we get something a little more solid, and we get permission.  I just don't interject useless comments into thread for the sake of commenting.  I comment if there is something to say.  Oh, and as for the days I didn't log on, I was camping with my wife and kid.  Our tent doesn't have internet access.

If we can get a yea or nay on the permission for the site name, i'll get on it using the design above.  However, if someone has a better idea (cafepress), I'd be glad to step aside.  I don't have any experience with that site.

Well maybe it's time you updated your tent then.  The first time I took my boys camping, my eldest boy wanted to know if there was a TV or playstation there.

If these shirts go ahead, will they be available to us OS members?

[oramac]

Good question...I guess there would be a shipping charge.  I don't know how it works with cafepress though if that was the way we went.

I didn't mean to offend, but since you hadn't been around for a while I assumed that the thing that always happens happened again. I bumped it a couple time to keep the interest up and make sure the idea didn't just die like the others. I appreciate the effort you've put in, and I know I'm not the only person who will be grateful if you are the one to finally pull it together. If you still haven't gotten a response, I'd suggest asking Pandy and Pablo (pantablo), if they don't have an answer I'd say you should go ahead and do it.

Thanks again.

I like this design but I would want permission from the person that made it before I used it.

this one captures the essence of the bike IMO.

John, the site owner, will probably not come in here. He's not been around for a very long time. I suggest someone search the archives for other threads about making tshirts to find an approval there. I know he approved it when I designed a shirt, but that thread was several forum generations ago and wont be around. That was easily 5 years ago or so.

[ohgood]

If and when, I'll take a half dozen. (Of course 3 will be toddler sizes)

I really like the black charcoal looking designs. Good work.

Could you seperate the E and F please, facing each other or whatever so the bikes have clean lines around them ?

Either way, I'll take em

[oramac]

Ok, so cafepress.com looks easy enough to design a t-shirt.  However, I don't have photoshop in order to make the background transparent.  So, it creates a big black box around the logo.  As far as the logo I used, it is the one I quoted above.  I like it because I have an E, so there.    Using cafepress.com means you F people can design your own shirts! 

I can go to a local screen printer, but for the amount of shirts we're lookin to order, it would be about twelve+ dollars per shirt plus shipping.  Also, I'd have to order extra shirts for future orders, I'd have to collect the money in advance, and I'd have to charge more to cover all my costs and shipping.  It looks like cafe press is the easiest choice. 

Anyone willing to get the pics altered to work on a black background?  If not, I'll design the shirts as described above, and we'll just have a black background to deal with.  As far as permission...as long as we're not profiting from the shirt, I think John would appreciate the free publicity his board members are generating, and if not I'll answer to it.

So what now?

[cosmiccharlie]

How is the quality of the shirts from cafepress? 

I am a member of another forum that does shirts every so often.  Money is collected up front, items are shipped.  If you miss the deadline for orders you just miss out.  But it is up to you what you want to do.  How does this cafe press thing work?  Someone uploads the designs and we go to the site and order?
