Aussie Pinball Merchandising

[Strangeways]

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

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.

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.

[ddstoys]

I also agree T shirts and hats would be most useful

TShirt and caps 

[Strangeways]

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 !

[ajlaird]

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 

[ajlaird]

What's wrong with doing both?

[Strangeways]

I think the Polo AND Cap is the go here !
