64D T-shirts

acid suggested that 64D make t-shirts and have people wear them to promote the site. He said we should use this as a way to generate money, but didn't explicitly say to sell the shirts, so I'm not sure how this would help make money.

But that's why he's the marketing genius, and I'm just the guy who keeps spelling genius as genious.

Anyway, this is totally not going to happen, but I think a solid coloured crimson 64D logo (we don't really have an official one) would look cool on the front of a black t-shirt. And on the back, written across the upper back in white text, would just be some slogan. There could be a handful of different shirts with different slogans.

"Driven by lazyness"

"Member ID #2"

"Hand coded in front of a live audience"

And so on. Basically a collection of "64D memes" (I just heard you grind your teeth and cringe) and sub-banner text (I don't know what it's called).

The idea of 64D apparel has been around for like 8 years, but I thought I'd bring this idea up, to see if anyone would actually be interested in a shirt from 64D (I will not make one, but my ego will feel good), and what you think would be cool.

Yes we should!

Also, no dose of reality is needed. I have no illusions that it would be used for marketing. I didn't even make a myspace account to add those people that would wear the "myspace.com/myusername. Add me!", and I knew what myspace was. I wouldn't make a mental image of some random logo, re-draw it in paint, and reverse image search it to try find out what website the logo came from. =P

Tshirts are a fun thing but are mainly for people who are already fans, right? Sure, you get interest from other people who see the fans wearing the tshirts, but that's minimal.

The best advertising 64digits got was when loads of people on the GMC had their 64digits games and profiles on banners in their signature. That's how you get people to the site.

well of course it'd be mainly for existing members. if we got a bunch of new members coming in, it'd ruin our hipster fabulousness.

though if we had some ads set up on here i don't think we would mind getting flooded by new members haha.

It was implied that they would be for existing members, and not to attract new members.

If you can't read my blogs and extract invisible meanings, then you should stop listening to the old wives tales about assumptions, because you've just made an ass out of you and me by NOT assuming what I was meaning.

Sorry I don't speak Canadian

(In all serious it was other people that were implying that this was marketing, not you, fsx)

SHUT UP REZ. THIS IS YOUR FAULT. WE WERE HAPPY BEFORE YOU CAME ALONG. WHEN PEOPLE ASK "hey man, what's wrong with your kid?" THEY THINK THAT I'M JOKING WHEN I SAY "oh, he was failed abortion. He was an accident, and the doctor that performed the abortion did a half ass job, and it didn't stick, so now here he is". BUT I'M NOT JOKING, REZ. I'M NOT JOKING.

If any, I like the "Driven by laziness" one most. Maybe black shirt with the 64D logo in red (the D in white, maybe). And then the slogan in white.
