Im glad to see I'm not the only one interested.

Just heard back from the embroiderer and he says the design is a go. So the run is on!

I've decided to keep it button only on the front with the URL (and maybe the BYOAC) on either the side or back.

Sounds good. Are you ready to receive paypal payments on these yet?

Pixelhugger · « **Reply #42 on:** July 13, 2005, 12:59:01 pm »

No paypal or orders yet, since I have to finalize the costs with the embroiderer. Hopefully I can begin the order process tonite. I'll post an update.

WU HAH!

Wooha! Cant wait!

Pixelhugger · « **Reply #44 on:** July 13, 2005, 01:08:24 pm »

To answer a few questions/concerns:

These will be from the same hat manufacturer as before. So unless their product line has changed they should be an identical style/quality to the first run.

I'll take a khaki one as well. I missed the first run of hats, don't want to be left out of this one.

I like the icon on the front and agree with the URL in smaller font on the back.

Can't wait....

I'll go for a khaki one with just the button on the front. For me less text is better.

It may just be me but i think the position of the button could be slightly higher than this?

Yeah, it's a very rough comp. I'll do a better one soon. The button may be a bit smaller as well.

Yes. Though not the plastic strip kind. I may be able to offer a fitted version.... no opening in back. (though they are around $20 or so if I remember correctly) I'll post a JPEG with style and color options as soon as I can.

By the way....when did you do a run of the joystick ones?

It's not actually black.. its just a very dark navy. The color of the hat I posted is the "almost black" navy.

I would not change the size of the button. We're not trying to hide the fact that we're arcade nuts, we're showing it off to the world!

Count me in for one before the wagon train pulls out, or is it a band wagon this time? Either way, I want to be in the parade too! Now I know why lemmings have so much fun! HaHa

Also, you have a PM......

Pixelhugger · « **Reply #60 on:** July 13, 2005, 10:32:41 pm »

OK. Change of plan. More colors and no extra charge. Additional cost only for more expensive styles of fitted and structured hats (details on those to follow).

Here's an updated mockup of the hat(s). The hats shown are actual hats from the ball top run, with the new logo photoshopped in. So there is still some wonkiness to the perspective, but you get a better idea of what the hats will look like. This is still a mockup/approximation.

I've also mocked up an EXTREMELY rough comp of the proposed type location. Obviously readability, perspective and the look of the embroidery would be vastly improved on the real thing

LPZ · « **Reply #61 on:** July 13, 2005, 11:21:59 pm »

I would also like one too. Count me in!

NY_in_TX · « **Reply #62 on:** July 13, 2005, 11:54:54 pm »

any chance of getting one without the writing on the back? I like simple, I know it's a BYOAC hat, but that player button logo is sweet.

SteveJ34 · « **Reply #63 on:** July 14, 2005, 12:06:38 am »

You can count me in for at least one though I will probably get two....one to save (I collect) and one to wear.

The first khaki/sage picture looked to be a bit higher quality cap than the followup lineup pics.....that is, it appeared as though the material was a bit stiffer and thus the cap would hold shape better.

I'm in either way and will be watching for when its time to make payment.

Pixelhugger · « **Reply #64 on:** July 14, 2005, 12:21:38 am »

As far as leaving type off, I'm still thinking through how much customization I have the time and energy to deal with. I'm hoping to keep all orders as simple as possible. I'll let you know.

The first picture was the same hat from the manufacturers brochure. It looks different because in the photo of the hats I comped up, there is nothing holding the hats into a perfect ball. I guess that's what makes this style "unstructured." That stiffer holds its shape off your head structured style is available but they cost more I guess due to the structuring mesh inside. It's not so much a quality issue as a style issue, I think. I like the flappy canvas feel of the unstructured hats, but I'll get prices for the structured as well so that's an option. Last go round I think it cost 4 or 5 bucks more.

MameMaster! · « **Reply #65 on:** July 14, 2005, 12:55:54 pm »

....you know....looking at it agin (and I know these are mock-ups only)...would it be better to use an Atari Style little man on the start button? I know with embroidery it's hard to get too detailed but I'm wondering if he looks like a "+" symbol instead.

I personally like the suggested size of the present button relative to the size of the hat...but maybe it should be just a bit larger to make the little guy more obvious looking as a start button.

Hey...you guys don't need another lollipop hat on your hands!!! (which I think it pretty cool by the way!).

Just a thought.

MustardTent · « **Reply #66 on:** July 14, 2005, 01:51:58 pm »

You can count me in for one of the khaki hats. I'm digging the button-only front, but will probably buy one either way.

Santoro · « **Reply #67 on:** July 14, 2005, 02:05:27 pm »

I am in for two Khaki.

Get some figures on the Fitted ones in black.. ill prolly go for one of those

killbill · « **Reply #71 on:** July 14, 2005, 04:37:49 pm »

I'm may be interested in an "almost black" one.

I vote button on front with no text
text on back or side

AceTKK · « **Reply #72 on:** July 14, 2005, 04:45:54 pm »

I'm in for one, I think the mockup designs look great just as they are. You should consider charging $1 extra for these and donating the proceeds to BYOAC, I know I'd be willing to pay a bit extra to support the site.

I wish I wore hats, or used tokens. Everything looks so cool.

Brax · « **Reply #77 on:** July 15, 2005, 08:57:10 am »

We had a lolipop the first time around, this time my first impression was that it's a picture of a fishin' hat with an asterisk on top. It's funny how arcade cabinets are such strong pop culture icons but when you take a detail out of context it's really hard to distiguish. ...just an observation.

I love the fact that we're having hats made, I guess it's a good thing I'm not on the art direction team... we'd never have a final design

skim36 · « **Reply #78 on:** July 15, 2005, 09:49:05 am »
