2018 T-Shirt Art Drive -

[Null]

In 2017 we did a one-month merchandise sale run of t-shirts and stuff with RedBubble and we're going to do it again with a different company. These guys make comfy stuff using screen print and direct2shirt methods on 90% cotton shirts. They can securely process credit cards and be trusted to ship to you directly.

When I source these shirt designs, I look for subtle references to the forum/specific lolcows, that look nice to normies. You should be able to walk through a crowd without getting spit on, get to a nice restaurant with grandma, and finish your meal without anyone realizing you're a cyberbully troll-terrorist.

I'd really like if artsy folk helped me out with designing stuff, because I am an exceptional individual when it comes to art, but I'd also appreciate brainstorming. If I can't get artists to do it 4free I don't mind sending the best ideas to fiverr for finalised designs.

TL;DR:
I'd like 3 designs. They should be simple, clean, and reference the forum, its culture, or a specific lolcow, its following, or creative universe. This design should be not-autistic and something you would wear around people you like.



Idea List:

• Brianna Wu 2018 political campaign t-shirt with a mock motto like, "change we can't believe in" poking fun at gender reassignment.
• Cute designs with cow patterns or kiwi birds farming kiwi fruit.
• Brooklyn t-shirt (attached), but "CWCVILLE [Established 1983] VIRGINIA"
• Bowling shirt styled after the Big Lebowski with some reference to championship "cyberbowling".
• Coca-Cola style t-shirt colored green with "True and Honest Fan" in cursive style.
• Black and white stencil featuring a couch in front of a door with some quote.

I'd offer any of my CWC art for use. Or create any design on request.

 

[UptownRuckus]

No joke I'd buy a shirt if someone here produced it.

 

[Lurker]

Couldn't you recycle some of the older designs from last year's drive?

I think we had a few vaporware Vordrak ones...

 

[rococo]

I can probably hatch something up and vector it for simplicity. Are there any cows anyone would be particularly interested in? Times are-a-changin' and I'm sure we could use some fresh faces.

 

[SJ 485]

What about a black or white shirt with a green silhouette of a grazing cow on it, simple and inconspicuous

edit: Maybe a little small cross section of a kiwi fruit on the back under the collar

I'm reluctant to do Vordrak again because of how much of a psychotic temper tantrum he throws if he gets poked fun at even a little. RedBubble initially ruled in my favor and then he started threatening the families of the CSR people I'm pretty sure. I have no idea how the UK feds haven't put lead into him.

Just a random idea, but what about a shirt in the style of the kind you would get in a gift shop after going on a tour somewhere? Make it look like a shirt you'd get after going on a tour of an actual farm.

 

[LazarusOwenhart]

I'm not an artist or I'd do it myself but I suggest a Sonichu/Rosechu done in the style of this logo:

What about that evolution of man from ape graphic but with people in wheelchairs and morbidly obese near the end of the evolutionary scale?

That'd be a good idea! I was thinking of doing very simple abstract outlines, akin to some avant garde album covers of maybe 2 cows faces/references to them, or the site logo. Simplistic and not completely autistic. Also very easy to transfer/vector for printing.

I think they're only allowed to be armed with plastic spoons at this point.

 

[RK 091]

Could we get some corporate-style shirts with the Kiwi Stealth "Collaborative Data Services" logo on them? Should be subtle enough, but to forum membets it should be obvious enough.

 

[Yellow Yam Scam]

Would definitely appreciate something white on black to work with my healthy gym wardrobe.

Spoiler: like so

 

[Kari Kamiya]

Were we the ones who coined the term "couch cuck" by any chance? It could be patented and put on a shirt to honor the lolcows we lost in life but never forgot, or even just a little joke image of someone using the couch as an obstacle or the boyfriend literally being cucked by the couch or something.

 

[ForgedBlades]

Do we get the nifty True & Honest badge if we buy a shirt?

 

[Oh Long Johnson]

Is the shed girls butthole copyrighted material?

I'd prefer to avoid any edgy or cartoon graphics. Cute kiwis farming works, but actual cartoon stuff I'd like to avoid.

New Would definitely appreciate something white on black to work with my healthy gym wardrobe.

Decent idea, but I can't think of anything I'd want to feature in it. I'd like to avoid featuring real lookalikes.

What about a light green shirt that has True & Honest Fan printed on it somewhere?

This would actually be a good idea for Yellow Yam Scam's t-shirt request. Some sort of white on black stencil of a sofa infront of a door with some weird quote about "the right couch in the wrong place can make all the difference in the world". And then repeated in japanese because why not.
