+1


(The characters must be many!)

Re: Maemo Summit 2009 merchandise and design...
 

Here's a literal version. ;)

Tim

Re: Maemo Summit 2009 merchandise and design...
 

Well, I'd like to see some more exploration here, but if you're done, then ok...

Re: Maemo Summit 2009 merchandise and design...
 

Make them Godzilla-sized and I will take two of each shirt shown in this thread. Three for "Fixed in Fremantle". :)

Re: Maemo Summit 2009 merchandise and design...
 

I'm not finished if you have more suggestions. It's just that there haven't been a whole lot of suggestions, so... If you have ideas, let me know.

Tim

Re: Maemo Summit 2009 merchandise and design...
 

I like this better than the chosen design, but still much less than the abstract version.

Something about this design makes me visualize it printed dark and positioned low and wide on a light orange shirt, creating a sort of Maemo/Charlie Brown mashup.

Re: Maemo Summit 2009 merchandise and design...
 

Charlie Brown definitely came to mind when I did the first orange shirt. ;)

Tim

Re: Maemo Summit 2009 merchandise and design...
 

Here are two more versions on black.

Tim

Re: Maemo Summit 2009 merchandise and design...
 

My favorite of the two on the back of a shirt.

Tim

Re: Maemo Summit 2009 merchandise and design...
 

I have some silly, but now serious idea for t-shirts, maybe it would be interesting for you. What if we do something like this and leave a space for nick tag so everybody will recognize each other easily. Just a thought :)

Re: Maemo Summit 2009 merchandise and design...
 

Definitely has an "open source" look. Heck, we could even get blank, black t-shirts and a roll of white duct tape to do this one! ;)

Tim

Re: Maemo Summit 2009 merchandise and design...
 

And some more "oh my god what a design!11" version :)

Well, you can make many different things with duct tape :D

Re: Maemo Summit 2009 merchandise and design...
 

fwiw we don't really need a shirt design before mid September. It's nice to experiment with ideas as long as the designers don't get tired / bored.

Re: Maemo Summit 2009 merchandise and design...
 

Cool, but I'd still prefer this sort of graphic on the back and logo in the pocket area, myself.

Re: Maemo Summit 2009 merchandise and design...
 

Awesome. Then there's time for me to work up my bong & beer concept.

Re: Maemo Summit 2009 merchandise and design...
 

How about a little wazd plagiarism. ;)

Tim

Re: Maemo Summit 2009 merchandise and design...
 

Oh dude.

DUDE.

You + Wazd = greatness.

That, my friends, is the winner IMO. For the back. ;)

Re: Maemo Summit 2009 merchandise and design...
 

Doesn't feel quite right on the 2009 - it works alright on the block-letters of "MAEMO" and "SUMMIT"; but is less effective on the 2009, IMNSHO.

Re: Maemo Summit 2009 merchandise and design...
 

It's a kerning issue due to character count but IMO it's not a showstopper. I actually like how it draws the eye to the year because of the distinction... and I don't think the characters should be altered to account for it.

Although, one possibility would be change it to 9 10 2009 or similar...

Re: Maemo Summit 2009 merchandise and design...
 

I like the idea of t-shirt design... but somehow i dont like the crosses..... why so cross?

Re: Maemo Summit 2009 merchandise and design...
 

The crosses are on the flag of Amsterdam - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flag_of_Amsterdam

Re: Maemo Summit 2009 merchandise and design...
 

I liked this too -- which is why I left it that way.

Tim

Re: Maemo Summit 2009 merchandise and design...
 

Tim, I would also bump up the size/boldness of the orange characters a bit. Not much, just a bit...and maybe move them closer to the outer edges afterward (if it's black background on black shirt the letter edges can actually be tangent to the perimeter, which certainly allows larger font size.

Re: Maemo Summit 2009 merchandise and design...
 

True. I can try that. This version was keeping in proportion with the Amsterdam flag. Thanks for the advice.

Tim

Re: Maemo Summit 2009 merchandise and design...
 

Hmmm I see the "X" and I keep thinking that it is somehow bad, because it is a contrary symbol to the usual check... maybe its just me...

Edit: Even worse, a co-worker peeked over my shoulder and asked me if that was a logo for a XXX rated movie or something like that :(

Re: Maemo Summit 2009 merchandise and design...
 

Bah. Feh. We are edgy. We are exy. 'nuff said.

Re: Maemo Summit 2009 merchandise and design...
 

Off topic....

How about benny lava t-shirts? :D:D

Sorry for being off topic.... couldn't resist!

Re: Maemo Summit 2009 merchandise and design...
 

Well, we aren't. Amsterdam is. So, if people want a happier flag, let's have the next Summit here:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Cas...co,_California

(Although, that brings with it an entirely new set of circumstances.)

Tim

Re: Maemo Summit 2009 merchandise and design...
 

Hmmm... Maybe a "WWMD" shirt? ;)

Tim

Re: Maemo Summit 2009 merchandise and design...
 

By virtue of accepting Amsterdam as the locale, we acquire its Exyness. :p

Re: Maemo Summit 2009 merchandise and design...
 

So many ways to do the same thing. ;)

Tim

Re: Maemo Summit 2009 merchandise and design...
 

I think you could bump up "Amsterdam" and "maemo.org" and still be in the general flag parameters.

But, yeah, this is platinum.

EDIT: size, you silly, I meant bump up the SIZE!

:p

Re: Maemo Summit 2009 merchandise and design...
 

Slightly modified -- upon Texrat's advice -- from the last one.

Tim

Re: Maemo Summit 2009 merchandise and design...
 

It looks like you took the opposite of my advice-- the text is smaller now.

Oh wait-- was that the idea? The best approach is the converse of what I suggest?

:p

Re: Maemo Summit 2009 merchandise and design...
 

Ha ha! :D

The text isn't smaller, it was just moved further away from the "logo." The m.o logo is smaller (and moved further away) to create more space. Maybe I just misunderstood you... But, I think it looks better now. ;)

Tim

Re: Maemo Summit 2009 merchandise and design...
 

I got a message from the Maemo logo. It says it feels inadequate now.

Re: Maemo Summit 2009 merchandise and design...
 

Well... It is. it's the Summit that's not. ;)

Tim

Re: Maemo Summit 2009 merchandise and design...
 

I really like this design!
Amsterdam crosses very prominent, as a resident I can only say: Well done!

Re: Maemo Summit 2009 merchandise and design...
 

Hi,

Many of the designs use the cross and some of them are actually good looking. The biggest problem I have is that unless we use the right color (red/white) my brain doesn't make the association between the crosses and Amsterdam(and I live in Amsterdam). It would be good it this association was made (red/white like the Danish week-end would be great) but perhaps some other "city" icons can be taken. For example the crosses are very often found on the poles in the city http://www.flickr.com/photos/remonrijper/3535454839/ and this This is also use a lot for merchandise.

Re: Maemo Summit 2009 merchandise and design...
 

Thanks, Kees. I'll see what I can do. (Others are welcome too.) ;)
