T-shirts for the WDW marathon

[plutosmyfav]

Here's another front:

You might notice I haven't been putting the periods in. I'm thinking with the DISboard logo we may not need them?

I'll try a few with periods, too. I just find them less attractive.

 

[plutosmyfav]

a new back idea that matches teh new front idea:

Sunny - Love the new designs! When I asked last year, it was another ~$25 to set up a second desgn. SPLitting that among whoever anted what deisng, is not ahuge deal, but the price breaks fo volume might apply to each design, not total order. It'd have to be looked into.

Lily - Yes, I think the mickey head makes it a Disney question, not a DIS question.

To help a bit, I e-mailed my contact and he e-mailed his printer to see if the printer would print that logo. he's checking. Keep in mind that we're starting to fill up the front of the shirt. We need to make sure there's still room for our bibs without hiding anything.

Last point - If we want these in Sept. (DL), we need to act VERY soon! Figure at least 1 month at the printer, leave time for shipping to you and from you to the others. Time for people to place orders (as not every is here every week), time for payments, etc....

I ordered them in October? and got them early Dec. This should not be as bad, because it's not Christmas, but if opeople want to try them in training runs, we need to act fairly soon.

Dave - I have cost spreadsheets to figure costs (with shipping and setup splite by peoerson and # of shirts ordered) and e-mail info and website address that I would be happy to help you out with, too.

Sunny - awesome designs! For the front I think I like the one with the runners best, even if it does have 2007 in it (I am planning on wearing the shirt in DL in Sept). Hopefully the printer will be ok with the disboards.com logo - maybe he won't notice the "hidden" mickey!

For the back I think I would prefer DLF>DNF>DNS, but I love "Wish gave me the courage to start" because that is SO true.

Thanks for all your hard work, especially when you are under the weather! I can't wait to proudly wear my new WISH shirt!!

Carrie-- I totally agree about not filling up the front for bib room. The last design with the WISH having a star (like the DISlogo) would definitely leave room for a bib. The printer might not notice the mickey head as much if you send the entire design of approval.

Pat-- the back design includes botht he DNS... and the WISH gave me the courage to start and the WDW weekend blurb. That's all one design. Remember the back doesn't need room for a bib. Backs of racing shirts are always busy, so if we like it, I'd say its not too much. For the printer, would he reduce the setup if we had one with the 2007 and one with it masked out? Its really not two entirely different setups. I'd still like to throw out some more ideas and then maybe set up an anon voting poll so everyone can feel comfortable in expressing their likes/dislikes and DISlikes

As for me, I've slept 18+ hours a day for three days now and still don't feel rested

Lily,
As a moderator, would you check with the powers that be if they would create a URL for www.DISboards.com/WISH that would point to the WISH main board? Its easy to do, its just a matter of whether or not they want to do it.

I think if we have the "WISH gave me the courage to start" on the back, then at the bottom a www.DISboards.com/WISH line would be so nice for anyone who might be inspired by us. Of course the DISboards.com will get them part way, but its not that easy to find WISh from the main forum page.

Just a though...

Sunny

I like this front the best so far....nice and clean...

Sunny, I love your work! I've forwarded the question.

Sorry to hijack the thread...

Sunny,
Might need some labwork now...if they didn't already check your thyroid...it's time


Ontopic:

I really like the back designs!

 

[crzy4pooh]

DH and I like this one best for the front, too. Your designs are great! Thanks so much for doing this!!!

 

[plutosmyfav]

Thanks for the feedback.

Where's Dave? We need his input, especially about moving the feather to the back of the shirt.

I'm still not quite sold on how the DNS>DNF>DLF holds up. Does it convey its meaning to people not in the know? I'm pretty sure we can sneak Chip and Dale on the shirt as they are minor players in the DISNEY copyright world.

I'm thinking it might need something like "any finish is a grand finish" or something. Maybe I'm overthinking at this point

Sunny - I love all of the designs I really like the one with Chip & Dale

 

[plutosmyfav]

thanks Jodi

Here's one that would work for any race, anytime. We could keep specific race info on the back if we'd rather.

Oh, I like this version. You do one and I like it, and then I check back later and you've improved it even more! Wow!

Only one little observation - aren't the people running the "wrong" way??
(the other shirt has them going from left to right!)

That's too funny! Should they go the other way? Its easy enough to change.

 

[wtpclc]

Wow, we have observant people here. Sunny, it's good to reverse your course to kep things evened out. You must just be preventing those people from injury.

Yes, Sunny, I agree, please take care of yourself!

I really like the front of the shirt.

Hi Everyone: I've been out of town for a few days so I couldn't post.

Sunny- thanks for all your hard work on the shirt design, but, more importantly, take care of yourself and get better. I think the shirts are really coming along nicely. I like the front and really like Chip and Dale on the back. I had a couple of thoughts too. 1.) I liked the periods in W.I.S.H. because it is another way to set us apart from Make-A-WISH. 2.) I really liked the feather on the front too. I have an idea for a design I will play with and try to post it.

Trying to get caught up with work right now though.

 

[Mouse Skywalker]

Hi Everyone: Here's my modification of Sunny's design for the front of the shirt. I apologize the image doesn't look as nice as Sunny's, but I was hoping you could get the general idea. If people like the idea, maybe Sunny could come up with an image for us to vote on with her graphic design software. Basically, my idea was to use the feather as the "I" in WISH, and use the star above Sunny's "I" as the periods between the letters. Again, like Sunny was saying, the star is meant to reflect the star in "DISboards.com". I took off "We're Inspired to Stay Healthy", and I thought we could put that on the back of the shirt. Let me know what you think.

 

[AmyBeth68]

Very cool and creative Dave!

I love the "We're Inspired to Stay Healthy" either on the front or back is ok with me! I really like how you are incorporating the meaning of WISH into the shirt! Great job Sunny and Dave!!!!!

I still like the whole equation thing...DLF>DNF>DNS. Maybe one of the options that we vote on could feature that on the back. There's just something about that saying that keeps me going!
