ZapCon 2015 Roll Call

[pbj]

Put the damn space invaders on it.  Nobody will care.  Stop being a coward.

I'm trying out designs. Your cheap ass ain't getting one anyway, so don't worry about it. 

[Nephasth]

Put that ---smurf---'s arms down and yer golden.

[yotsuya]

Whose arms?

[Nephasth]

Player silhouette on the front.

[yotsuya]

Aw, I like P1 Atari guy much more than P1 Men's Bathroom Guy.

[Nephasth]

Yay!!!

[yotsuya]

Yay!!!

Exactly!

[yotsuya]

Yay!!!

[Rick]

In all honestly, I love it, BUT - you need to get Saint's buy in before you go taking his business logo out to the people with those Space Invaders attached.

[jdbailey1206]

Here's one without the invaders...

I like this one.  I would replace the guy on the front with the insignia on the back sans the text.  I'm on the fence with the aliens.  A little too busy if you ask me.

Meh do it anyway

No ---steaming pile of meadow muffin---.

I actually like this one, too, and not because I'm afraid Rick's going to snitch us out to Taito. I think it's less busy.

[ChanceKJ]

New version, pocket logo brought to the center and enlarged.

This

I still like this best.

[jdbailey1206]

I still want to see Urkel somewhere.

Sure that's an ethical thing to do, but it's not like Saint could get any flak if we didn't.  People misuse corporate logos all the time and the trade mark holder isn't held responsible, eg if I put a ring of pepsi symbols around a coke symbol and make a family reunion t-shirt coke and pepsi would not come after eachother in a million years since it's not either of their shirts. 

Reverse it.  Is Saint going to sue the Taito wankers if we put space invaders around his logo?  Absolutely not.  Same thing. 

Yots on the otherhand is screwed as I'm sure teams of lawyers are just lining up to take down a limited shirt run.

We're just messing around with ideas right now. Space Invaders or not, I plan to get Saint's blessing to even make the damn things.

Like LC said, these are "family reunion" type shirts. Only going to the people going, and no one is profiting from them. At worst, a lawyer would issue a cease-and-desist, as there are no damages being done.

[Nephasth]

Really. Who cares. It's 8 shirts.

9 with the one I'm going to shove into your suitcase when you aren't looking. 

[Nephasth]

Arms down.

[yotsuya]

Arms down.

Arms Up is Atari! Arms Down tells you what room you can take a piss in if you do it standing up! 

[jdbailey1206]

Arms down.

Why are the arms up?  Isn't it kind of required to have your hands/arms down to play with your joystick?

Dammit, don't you JAMMA babies have any sense of history?

[yotsuya]

But let it not be said that Yot don't listen...

[yotsuya]

Arms down.

I'm going to make this one especially for you, bro.

[BorgDog]

But let it not be said that Yot don't listen...

Well, now it's just sexist.

[jdbailey1206]

Hey.  That first CP is neat.  Did you make that yourself?

[Hoopz]

Not going so my opinion doesn't matter but I'd pay for the shirt with arms down.  I wouldn't wear the one with arms up.  Arms down looks significantly better.

Edit for typo

[ChanceKJ]

Arms down for sure. Not feeling the "encom" style front logo. It's better with the words on the front.

[Nephasth]

Arms down.

Hey man, i do have legs...

[yotsuya]

Those are all Atari Control Panels. That first one is Centipede.

Once we know more on who's coming, I'll let you ---daisies--- vote for the best design. Majority rules.

I vote that yot's vote is the only one that counts since he's doing the work and we'll all pay our $15 and be happy for the chance to do it!

[Nephasth]

I vote that lechucks vote doesn't count.

Naw, naw - I'm happy to let the majority decide what they want. I just want us as a group of builder to be represented. There are a lot of people in the Arcade Collectors community who look down upon MAME and builders like us, and I want us to show solidarity. #MAMEBUILDERSMATTER

I DID toy with the idea of a shirt that says "A Mod Threatened To Ban Me, And All I Got Was This Lousy T-Shirt"...     JOKE JOKE!!!

Oh, and these will be at cost, so I'm hoping to get them lower than $15. After we get the shirt designed, my next step is The Badge.

[Le Chuck]

I vote that lechucks vote doesn't count.

Third fourthed!

Really working to make this, juggling some life stuff around it.  If I come I'm bringing two of my micro builds.

Cool. If you do, let Toxicwes know. Maybe he can get you some display space.
