I think it is time we "showed our colors" *%*
The idea of this thread is for YOU GUYS to decide what direction and products we should create to promote our hobby and website. Whether is be caps, T-Shirts, Bumper Stickers etc...
I think one of the FIRST things we should do is create our AP Logo. Whether it just be a current banner, or something more simplified - I don't know ? So I think it would be a good idea if our resident artists submitted artwork on this thread, and for us less "artistic" types, to submit opinions and ideas. The more of you that contribute, the better.
Once we have a LOGO and a PRODUCT(S), we need to have them PRODUCED. So if there are any ideas there - please bring them forward - If you know someone who is in the "trade" then we can talk to them.
We would be making the products available to members to purchase through the site, as giveaways to competitions and if we have something done in time - have them available for the Expo.
I know that some of you have submitted ideas on some threads recently (Gav and Andrew) - But I not everyone may have read the great ideas you guys have already stated. So just add your thoughts HERE, and lets get the ideas going !!

Hmmm, a "map of australia-shaped playfield" surrounded with wooden railing and a shiny pinball hovering over each of the capital cities....and Oz-flag shaped flippers....
well, that's a start #@#

Polo t-shirts, Polo t-shirts, Polo t-shirts, Polo t-shirts, Polo t-shirts, Polo t-shirts, Polo t-shirts, Polo t-shirts, Polo t-shirts, %$% %$% :D :D $#$ $#$
-
Not just a fan of pinballs i see also got wood for polo tops. %$%
-
I like the idea of a polo shirt, but one I raised a long time ago is to incorporate the AP logo / website into a game card for aprons. I don't know the legalities of this but think it would be cool. :D
-
Great idea Marty im sure Wotto could make some up in no time flat %$%
-
Caps and shirts would be most useful. Especially if the pricing is kept reasonably cheap.
I am not a fan of bumper stickers myself and wouldn't buy them (although if I get a van or ute I just might use the one I won in a raffle :)
-
Count me in, Polo is my vote, if you get caps as well I would also order one.
-
I also agree T shirts and hats would be most useful
-
TShirt and caps ^^^
-
Polos and Caps seem to be the popular vote at the moment ^^^
I think we should come up with a logo of some sort - even if it is just one of the banners, but I guess we have to be mindful that if they are embroidered, we need to tone the detail down.
Worth looking at stubbie holders ?
Resident artists - submit artwork when ready !
-
My suggestion would be to keep the logo fairly simple. I think the words Aussie Pinball or AussiePinball.com as per the banner font in yellow on a black background would look effective.
-
Maybe this should be a poll?
My vote for polo shirt *%*
-
What's wrong with doing both?
-
I think the Polo AND Cap is the go here !
-
I think the Polo AND Cap is the go here !
Agreed - both would be the way to go
-
Gimme a little time- I am super busy right now *!@
will try and squeeze something in.
I vote for Polo's ( although they have been known to highlight manboobs, so lookout Mark C :lol )
I am not a cap person - my head gets even uglier with a cap on it.
And Marty J - MAN - those artistic thoughts- keep em comin mate %$%

My only other suggestion (again I don't know the logistics) but AP key tag - both for house keys and pinnies?!

Nice one, this could be a winner.
-
Personally I'd buy a cap, not a polo. Cap helps hide the uglys! :)
-
something a little different would be keyrings/fobs for you rpinball keys. A nice design hanging off a pinney.
-
STUBBY HOLDERS ! ! ! ! ! !
-
Polos & key tags sound like the go #*#
-
Yeah Key tags one for each machine they should sell well lol
-
STUBBY HOLDERS ! ! ! ! ! !
Overlooked to date, but a solid idea.

If you need a stubby holder your drinking to slow lol

man boobs hmmm you wait till you want something ....
as for polos the PSP tshirts cost me $20 odd each and I got 50 made with logo on front and web address on back
if I can get a copy of what you want I can take it to the same place ( around the corner from me ) and get a quote
mark
-
Great stuff Mark - Grab a quote for us - good start !
Sounds like Polos, Caps, Stubbie Holders, KeyFOBS (for machines) and KeyRINGS for house Keys could be the go !
As the ball is rolling - we need resident artists to come up with suggestions for a logo - or logos
-
Put me down for an XL sized polo.
-
So if this gets off the ground will they be ready in time for Expo?
Put me down for a large polo *%*
-
my PSP shirts took 4 days
ok need some art work ... come on guys what do you want on the front ?
and web address on back ?
-
Maybe an embroided logo on the front and one of the banners printed on the back?
-
Im shit with art but was thinking of the outline of australia with a pinball in the middle and AUSSIEPINBALL.COM under the ball?
-
Just knocked this up as an idea someone with talent need to make it look better
-
Great start, Daniel !
C'mon artists !

I cannot draw to save myself but I pretty good with copy & paste. Here is my idea for the logo. The Pop Bumper needs to be more simplified and angled more from the top but at least you get the idea.
Mark
-
I still say we should use the font as per the banner.
-
I tend to agree with AJ, the logo on the 'items' should reflect what you're gonna see when you visit the site.
Keeping the text the same as the site logo lettering (which is a nice rounded-retro font anyway) is a must have!
MM.
-
OK - So the AP logo with the current font on the front of the shirt, and the web URL on the back ? No background - as in the artwork of Gorgar etc ?
That would keep it simple
-
I don't care - just hurry up :lol
Want to be able to wear it to Expo *%*
-
What about a picture of my face on the back of the shirts to attract the "ladies" to the site *)*

I am unsure if I would want your face that close to my arse !!
Sorry guys, I feel a little 'guilty' for not getting onto this , I have just been superbly busy with so many other ( home) things - again.
Like most I think the simpler the better.
I like the idea of the name on the front .........and the website on the back
I believe that a pop bumper is the most instant ‘universally recognised’ symbol for pinball machines and even non-pinheads instantly recognise it. So I would suggest a pop bumper form part of the image for the front of the shirt.
I will try some things using this image as a basis - if you guys plan 'embroiding' a pattern , then it has to stay simple.

Hows this one with all the ideas combined except the pop bumper couldnt fit it in
-
Seeing it on the site i think the writing needs to be bigger?

Yeah I agree Wotto!
Just to throw this in the mix - there are heaps more styles of caps to choose from also. http://www.pbresource.com/pfbumper.htm
-
Quick 1st attempt.
The font I used for the banners really didnt look good when 'curved' for this - so I went with something similar ( a relaxed font ).
I can do this any colour - I had it as a stock white cap , filled it black and really liked it.
I did this with the front of a polo in mind, simple for embroiding.
Thoughts?
(http://img25.imageshack.us/img25/2433/1stjpeg.jpg)

Ill second that good work Wotto
-
Nice @@*
What programme do you use to create these great banners/logos ?
-
nice one, wotto !
Now we need a border - if we print on a black T-Shirt / Polo
-
Hey Millsy - I use Photoshop , and sometimes combine it with stuff I have created in Fireworks as well.
Nino- re- do we need a border? - just give me this weekend to come up with some different colour patterns, a design ( text ) for the back of a shirt , and various other idea's ( hopefully )
-
I like that Wotto - I've sent you an email with a suggestion for your artistic consideration.
-
OK, how do we get this printed on t-shirts? Any suggestions or anyone know anyone that can do it?
Let's get this thing started, expo is just around the corner.
Let's say we get a couple dozen made up in X-Large. What doesn't sell at expo can be sold here.
-
My little bit of past experience.
I used to get Polo Shirts made up when we went away on motorbike weekends I would organise.
I would get a typical size logo on the front ( printed not embroided ) and a lot of text written on the back - ( like each persons name - up to 8 of us - with a tag like - "gutless sack can only do 250kph" or similar )
For 8-10 shirts it would work out at about $25-$30.00 a shirt.
So whoever is going to take this by the balls and get ot rolling should firstly go to a shirt place and check todays costs and options. I found that most these places were quite used to 'joe nobody's' walking in with small order requests ( back then )
-
Alright - heres a few different variations of what I did - showung a few different 'common' shirt colours that are available.
I even did a beige shirt for Grandpa Mark C !!
See what the poular vote is - SOMEONE has to decide.
Personally I like the original one I did onto a white shirt - white shirts are easily available and suit everybody.
Thats just my thoughts - I aint the boss here.
Here ya go

Nick had a mad idea and sent me an image he created based on my original - I really like it , but my only thought is that the words Aussie and Pinball may print too small.
I will show nicks idea in a seperate relpy next....

And here are the same colours with Nicks input.

I am just about to do the text for the back of the shirt ( that I feel many more people see and read )
-
And on the back ???
(http://img27.imageshack.us/img27/8640/rearofshirtm.jpg)
I would tidy the 'i' dots up a bit for the final.
-
Looks good - you could make the artwork for the back into a web banner easily enough.
I vote on white or black for the T-shirts. Actually leaning towards black shirt with the white outline around the lettering, but if people vote for white I will be happy.
-
My vote is for a black shirt, mainly because I am a grub so black hides alot of the gunk.

borrowing from wotto i thought maybe something like this.
he can do a better job than me its just a mock up

Wotto / Geoffh
I like all of them but the last one especially.
-
I like the design for a Black Shirt - Excellent
The rear of the shirt would look great with the banner design, Wotto
Maybe time for some quick polls ?
MarkC - Can you talk to your T-Shirt guy on Tuesday and get pricing on T-Shirts, Polos and caps - similar to what you have for PSP ? Embroided or printed..
Keep adding comments folks and we can get this gone really quickly.
-
Black Shirts As i can be sure there are other lazy buggers like me who will wear it out and come home and go straight to the shed lol I only ever have good shirts for 1 day
-
made a small change what do you think?
as i said just rough from me
-
Both colours look great - Dont forget us small guys (body that is) i.e medium
Millsy
-
Medium Millsy
Tell me you at least have a beer gut lol
-
Small build -small belly (not beer related)
-
My thanks go to all who have put the design together. The idea of incorporating a pop bumper was brilliant - it says "pinball" and covers both EMs and SS. I'll be happy to buy an XL shirt - let me know how to order.
-
Nice one Geoff - I'm starting to lean towards the idea of the forum name and URL on the front. I still like the idea of the banner on the rear of the shirt.
Now should we look at the design being printed large in the centre of the shirt, or embroidered in the top corner ?

I agree Nino, forum name and URL on the front (embroidered in the top corner) and the banner on the rear gets my vote. On a black shirt.
Matthew
-
Yep- Black Shirt.
Embroided logo in 'normal' position on front of shirt.
Printed larger text ion the back of shirt.
Thats my vote
@@*
-
I agree with Wotto
-
I put "pinball forum" on the target other wise people might think it was just a business and not bother
What are others opinion?
And yes i agree with wotto about positions and information
-
Heres a fullsize for the back of the shirt.
I did this at 35cm wide by 8cm high.
(http://img15.imageshack.us/img15/9424/rearofshirt.jpg)
Large enough??

Looks awesome Wotto,
General question: What are the chances of having these ready and delivered by Expo seeing it's only 35 more sleeps (but who is counting?) #@#

I thought that too- the shirts I got made years back took about 3 weeks - but we are forgetting that Mark C has 'underbelly contacts' :lol :lol

Under belly ....pot belly more like it ....just jokin Mark
printing the shirts won't take long but embroidery shirts will take longer I think.
mark said he had his in four days but i am unsure whether that was print or stitching.
I assume he is out running around in the monaro so he won't reply here till later
-
Wouldn't it also be a good idea on who would want these so we can guage interest on how many to be made?

Can the mods send out a PM /email to ALL members stating that we are about to get some shirts made and need to guage interest quickly, so whne a member logs in he sees his message ??
-
I'll put in an order for an XL now.
How will payment be made?
I'm happy to pay in advance (by Visa?) if needed.
If they can be ready for the Expo, we could pick up our orders there and this would save postage.
-
Same goes here. Medium
-
Better play it safe and order an XXL (but if they are big sizes an XL will be fine).
-
Wheels are in motion - Geoff and Mark will grab some quotes with the current artwork for T-Shirts, Polos and Caps (for now) on Tuesday. Then we will either PM or set up a poll for members to grab numbers. We look like getting 25 done "off the bat". We would like them at EXPO - that's the aim.
We will have info as it comes to hand - no one will miss out !
Stay tuned - this is going to happen.
-
This is what is being considered by the admins at the moment.
Polo shirts with "logo" on the front where pocket would be and the other on the back.
Do other members like this or should there be more colours or different stuff?
Need some input so that they can go forward and get some quotes.
-
I'd love to see another color in there Wotto / Geoff !
-
opinions please
-
Try yellow instead of the blue.
-
try this
-
It would have to be a darker yellow, now that I see it.
-
bit darker
personally not a fan of yellow
-
Yellow is for poofs ! %%$
-
Maybe green? The blue didn't cut it, I thought, but feel free to disagree.
-
there is the green
-
diff colour schemes
-
couple more
Now there are too many choices lol
-
Looks excellent guys ^^^
-
I'm thinking we stick with the original red and white on black. Clean and simple.
-
I like this one.
-
Thinking the same myself about red and white as colours
The Black would blend into the black shirt.
Final decision is Tony and Nino's
-
Color choice really is a big thing they all look good but some better than others. Good luck whoever makes the final decision lol
-
some one mentioned fridge magnets earlier on.
these would be a good idea.
could be put on the coin door of each pin.
i would buy a cap also.
-
The admins are getting prices on a few things but the shirts are first I believe
Here is a couple of mock ups
Excuse the quality but the polo picture was very small
-
Geoffh,
I much prefer the bottom one. Looks very very good.
The top one (from the front) looks like some evil clown from a distance..... ^&^ I'm off to the the shrink now!!
-
I like the black. My gut doesn't look big in it!

i agree. bottom one looks better.
the top one loses the affect of a pop bumber.
-
I also agree the bottom one. $#$
-
Me too, I like the lower one better.
-
I havent read all the posts so dont know where this is at yet, but my brother in law owns a company in Nunawading that specilises in making this sought of promotional stuff. He would be happy to price making these if you wish.
-
Bottom one is awesome, Geoff - and members seem to agree so far !
Dean - what promotional stuff does he do as well as T-Shirts and Polos ?
We would like to investigate the possibility of Stubbie holders, Keyrings and caps.
-
Dean Nunawading is around the corner from me
Pm his details and I will call him Tuesday

Bottom one looks awesome #*#
Matthew
-
I vote on the lower design as well, great work #*#
-
it looks great, but i recon that it needs a couple of flippers below the pop bumber.
i will draw something up tonight and post it for you.
-
The colour is not a drama. The back is fine and looks cool. The front with the starburst popbumper cap looks odd. Like one half of a vegas dancing girls outfit. Needs to be reworked maybe just the .com tag in small writing. IMO. That needs to be changed
-
modified front
-
.....needs a couple of flippers below the pop bumber.
Ditto, would add a good touch me thinks
-
how about these
-
yep that looks better
number 3 is the best
second from the bottom
also the missus sugested having a set of colors for a female to wear
she likes the logo but said the colors would suit a male not female.
keep these colors for the male version but make another set for the female version.
if all you guys ask your better halves what they think about male and female colors and see if they agree.
i mean it all comes down to cost and how many would buy the female version.
if there are not enough requests for female colors then no use making them.
this is only a suggestion .
keep up the good work
-
I like the second one from the top - except the RHS flipper needs to be in proportion to the Left.
good Work Geoff !
-
This design , with flippers, looks the best so far.
I actually like the last one - Reason = in the one 2nd from bottom ..... I ask you - Is it TOO much 'Aussie Pinball" ( it just tends to read.....Aussie Pinball ...... Aussie Pinball Forum ......Aussie Pinball.com )
Also - The text in the right FLIPPER appears smaller than in the left?
Nearly there !!
-
ok the finalists
I think using Flipper is better that Aussie pinball on the bats
I think the first run would be these colours because we are in hurry and want to get them ready for sydney
We can look at other colours after the initial run.
If you go back in thread beaky there are a series of other colours that the wife could see to get her opinion
Need some quick feedback people

Hi All,
Just catching up, been away with work....
Ok, spanner in the works !*!
Adding the flippers was great, but the URL under them should traditionally retain the "www" for clarity, and the URL should really be a solid WHITE text as the red/white border amongst the black shirt isn't contrasting enough.
I can see why you enlarged the text and dropped the "www" to compensate, BUT, the fact that it's now shrunk to a breast-logo, i'm still going for a solid white URL.
The heading "Aussie Pinball" can remain red/white border, as it's larger font and spaced for readability.
Those final designs (on BLACK shirt) are a simple 2 colour print, should be cheap-as....
The black shirts will be more expensive than the white, because it'll require a white base layer first, then red ontop.
If i had my printing gear handy i'd happily print these myself, but that's another story, maybe next time around....
just my 3cents %$%

hey mate
sorry guys I have been teh busiest I have ever been this last week
I have missed so much . I called into see Geoff and gave him the details and location
mind you the tshirts look good and good luck with them
put me down for 5 XL and 5 XXL
thanks

white url doesn't seem to do it for me
but up to you guys
fixed up the word flipper they seemed to look different now more uniform

Definately needed the www. but not sure which is better the red and white or solid white. Your doing a great job Geoff

The red and white URL looks much better than the white URL, IMO *%*
Matthew
-
another version !@#
I keep trying ^&^
-
Geoff, just for my :2cents:
I preferred the original lot which got the thumbs up. Does everything need to be crammed into the one side? (ie bumper + words+ flippers)
Maybe then have flippers and full http:// address on the back?
If not majority rules and I'll still get one...
Just some food for thought.
-
There is no design that will please everyone, so go with one that pleases 90%.
I don't mind it with flippers or without; the flippers are a nice touch and make it more obviously pinball related, but they tend to crowd the design a bit. I think the URL looks better in lower case (which allows www to fit at the front of the URL). I also think it is good to have the URL on the front of the shirt as well as the back.
Don't like the white url, red and white version looks heaps better.
So my vote goes to the bottom one of the two presented in reply #124 in this thread (final two) but with the url in lower case and with www out the front.
-
Keep in mind folks - if this is a success, we could look at doing this again with another design.
-
I spaced it out a little more
-
did you say another designer Nino $#$ #*# @@*
-
Yes, agreed the red AND white lettering does look better when LARGE, but a the smaller breast-logo size, it will be unreadable....still upto whoever... *)*
I forgot to say in previous post that the REAR design, using the 2 bumpers as the 'dots' on the i's is great,
However, i think you need to replace the text inside the bumper (small & unreadbale) to something as simple as "AP"
anyone ????

They should be ready in time - artwork is finalized, Geoff is sourcing the most comparative pricing.

How did we finish up on the polo shirts?
Who do I need to pay and when by?
-
Waiting on one last quote then they will be made up.
Will let the boys know the cost prob on tuesday.
-
Sorry to push this Geoff,
Will they be ready by Expo? Even if it's just the guys working on the AP stall having them.
I feel they are a must have on the stall.
What a perfect way to spread the AP word *%*
-
NP Tony I understand
The lead time is max 10 business days with the average 7 days
So if they are ordered on Tues 28th April the will be ready by at the latest 12th May and get shipped to sydney same day. Hope fully they will be the average and be ready the week before.
I will make sure there shirts there for the Expo one way or another
-
Awesome news Geoff! THANKYOU!

That's great to hear Geoff. We really appreciate all your hard work on this!

Can't wait to see some cool merchandise, especially tee's. PLEASE make sure they come in several sizes including SMALL. I'm only a little bloke, but I throw HUGE tantrums when I can't get my size! I have this problem in shops - where I have been asked to leave after voicing my opinion in this matter. It annoys the living s**t out of me.
Thanks
Max

Me little fellow to. *%*

My missus is the same. She has to buy girls size 12 clothes to fit her & she is 32 y.o.
you should see some of the looks i get when i have my hand on her ars and i turn around and people behind us are looking at us.
once when this happened one guy said isn't she a bit young for you mate. he looked even more supprised when my wife turned around and told him how old she was.
but back on topic i only need a small one also.
-
Put me down for a large - and please let us know of payment details etc.
Really want to wear this at Expo and put our name out there *%*
Time is ticking and only 13 more sleeps #*#

What is the deal with the AP shirts? Do we collect them at the Expo or will they be posted to us prior to the Expo? !@#

At this point the plan is to pick them up at Expo.
-
We are getting final numbers organized now. They will be ready for Expo.
Would members going to Expo want their T-Shirts prior to Expo, or have them beforehand ?
Before there is a "mad rush" - I'll just grab the numbers off Geoff as we had extra T-Shirts made and either he or myself will respond.
-
I'm happy to pick mine up at Expo, would make things easier ^^^
-
I spaced it out a little more
hey geoffh
i was thinking of making some of these up as vinyl stickers in a couple of sizes and if you want a dollar off each one sold can go towards running costs for the site.
i would only claim a dollar or 2 on top of material & postage costs to pay for wear and tear on my plotter blade + fuel cost for picking up materials.
so if you give the ok for this i will take orders off the site members.
-
Its up to Tony and Nino I am just a passenger here.
They run the site and all you members rule the site.
And I might say it is run well and everyone here makes it a pleasure to be here
What do you think Tony and Nino
-
sorry i assumed after looking at the logo it was up to you !@)
-
Geoff is right - If you guys want to submit any art for merchandise - you are welcome to do so
Beaky - Feel free to PM either Tony (Creech) or myself and we can discuss. As long as your costs are covered and members are interested, theres no reason why we should not do it
^^^
-
I agree. Lets have a look at it first and we can go from there. Sounds like a great idea.
-
I have some more T-shirt art designs in my head for future 'runs' *)*
Will be working on these over the next few months in any spare time I can find.
-
Guys I would love an AP shirt if we could get some cool Pin art on them. A Gorgar or similar would look great.

Possible licensing issues might make this difficult?

I', sure Nug would licence Coconut Island!! :lol :lol :lol

Actually - Not a bad idea !
-
well here is the first attempt at the stickers i am making
bit of a stuff up with the red on white writing but we learn from our mistakes.
i am going to remove pinball forum from the pop bumber and the flippers and put pinball forum in place of the flippers.
i will post this when it is done.
one thing about black it shows every bit of dust.
-
good work beaky these look great, what's the dimensions on these stickers??
I reckon AP logo coin slot labels would be a winning, would look better than the price cards
-
any chance of key rings and mugs? a bumper sticker wouldnt go astray either ... i buy pinballs maybe !@#
-
this sticker is 150 x 150 mm
the reason i am removing some of the lettering is because it is to small to weed
and yes my next attempt is a bumper sticker
the vinyl that these are made from should last 5 years out doors "3M brand"
-
That looks great Beaky. Well done!
-

I was gunna suggest this also FF...........an I buy pins sticker, with the AP stuff incorporated into it.
-

They look cool Beaky, I would 2nd Rob's call for a 'I buy pinball' stickers for the car.
There was another fella last year sometime that was selling them on eBay

He gave some of these away for the raffle at the Bushfire Aid Meet & Greet - but I haven't put it on my car yet, for a couple of reasons...

weed is a term used to describe the process of removing the vinyl that is not needed after the plotter has cut the shape in the vinyl

I would love an AP windcheater, currently its too cold for the Polo unless it under something, but then you cant show it off.
What about a windcheater? *%*

Believe me, there was no problem with that at the Pinball Expo! All those pins and people generate a lot of heat.
But yeah, now that winter is upon us a windcheater is a good idea - not that I would be looking to buy one, though.
