BYOAC TShirt slogan poll
« on: March 22, 2003, 05:02:05 am »
Well I thought it would be cool to wear a BYOAC tshirt to an arcade expo.

Is there any real interest in the shirt?  In the chat room this am, I brought it up and some of the options are other peoples Ideas.

Its hard to say if any idea probably would come together in time for this expo, but there is always next year.

I vote for playing with our joysticks, but lost the 300 members part (makes the shirt more 'timeless')..

"BYOAC: It's not one of those 'pen1s envy' things"
"BYOAC: The arcade comes home (minus the smell)"
"BYOAC: Yes, ladies, I'm single and available (as of cab #3)"

I had to vote for the first one, the rest seemed to be begging for me to wear a one of those old hats with the fake crap on the bill and a "honk if you're horny" bumper sticker.  I'd like to be able to wear my shirt in public and not have people think I'm a complete idiot.......  IF that's possible   ;)  er, wait, probably not

Keep it simple:

Front: "BYOAC"
Back: "Build Your Own Arcade Controls"

Add some arcade graphics, done.

Here is my idea.

In the front you have some pictures of buttons and joysticks and some power tools so people would ask you "whats the t-shirt all about?"

And in the back you will have a picture of a complete arcade stick.

You just show everyone how Build Your Own Arcade Controls is all about..

This isnt a bad idea  :)

Last night the hunamous decision was if it's just a shirt that has "BYOAC" with a graphic then it's lame.  We are wanting to go in a more humorous direction, mostly because having a byoac t-shirt is dorky enough, but if its made to be serious then it's the t-shirt for uber dorks.  


Also responding to other comments.....  any reference to a video game or video game characters will give us legal issues.  So mentioning pacman or ect won't work, nor will modifying a classic game logo/sprite.    Keep the suggestions coming, I still haven't heard a really good one yet.  ;)

Personally I don't think I'd be interested in wearing a BYOAC t-shirt as a fashion statement.  I might wear it while I'm working, but I get plenty of free T-shirts from stands at my school trying to sign me up for a credit cards, etc.

That said, if someone is interested in a BYOAC, I'm with 1UP, except I think I'd leave the back blank.  Build Your Own Arcade Controls is a functional title, but really pretty weak as a slogan or flag.  It really doesn't make sense on a shirt.  If I saw somebody wearing the shirt (and was unaware of the BYOAC community) I would think that the shirt were suggesting that I somehow knew about or wanted YOUR arcade controls...like: Doritos -- get your own bag.  It actually sounds like a snotty remark rather than an enabling community when brandished on a shirt.

I'm not a big fan of any of the suggestions in the first post and I think they really cast a bit of a juvenile light on the hobby taking away some credibility.

Really anybody who cares about BYOAC will most likely already know what it is so there's no explanation necessary.  If I see someone at an auction with BYOAC on their shirt I'll know.  At any rate, simple is always better when it comes to things written on a shirt (and most other things in life for that matter  :) ).  You don't want it to read like a No Fear shirt or one of those terrible Looney Toons gone gangsta shirts.

Umm it is a juvenile hobby man.  We are grown men and women playing with toys.  Also to the rest of the world we don't have any credibility.  To take the hobby so seriously and expect the rest of the world to is like those nerds in high school that proudly wore their chess club t-shirts and couldn't figure out why everyone was making fun of them.

Don't worry about legal issues.  Somehow I don't think the BYOAC shirts are going to be a real profitable venture  :P

The problem with humor is that if it isn't funny (and none of the suggestions so far have been...sorry, I don't mean that as an insult) than it's lame.  It's difficult to come up with one line, that in and of itself is really funny.  Any more than one line and the shirt is lame.  If you want to go humor you need something very short, likely dry, and REALLY funny like:

Ted is Dead (referring to Ted bundy...this wouldn't be particularly funny anymore, but at the time...)

Joseph Smith kicks ass.  (I live in Utah...this might not be as funny elsewhere)

Anyway, point is, there's no problem going for humor if you don't just go for it, but get it.  If you don't get it, well, what's the point?

Thanks, well I thought of a slogan that is somewhat humorous, but would require a picture that I'm guessing is not hard to acquire.
on the front "Girls play arcade games too <then under that have a picture of a REALLY ugly girl playing like Pac man or something>" on the back "BYOAC: Bringing the arcade home"

My first pick is "Everything you wanted to know about building an Arcade game but were afraid to ask."  My second being "Rebuilding your memories.
Umm it is a juvenile hobby man.  We are grown men and women playing with toys.
I kind of disagree with you.  While the act of playing arcade games is juvenile, the huge majority of us are grown men reclaiming some of our childhood memories.  It's fun and it's light-hearted, but I wouldn't say that the hobby itself is "juvenile".

Speaking of which, I absolutely hate the following:
BYOAC: Over 300 members playing with our joysticks since 1997
Where do 300 people get together to show off there joysticks?
BYOAC: If you build it she will play with it.  <Show pic of scantilly clad women leaning against cabinet>

"Playing with our joysticks" is beyond juvenile...it's downright stupid.  It also reeks of those hats that say "FBI: Female Body Inspector" that you can buy at the county fair.  

The "scantily clad woman" leaning against a cabinet would only work if it was a very tongue-in-cheek cartoon rather than some desperate attempt to add "sex appeal" to this hobby.  In other words, it would only work if it was "cute".

But in an attempt to not just be negative and to actually contribute something, my submission would be:

FRONT:
The "BYOAC" logo at the left breast pocket.

BACK:

(Excuse the crappy execution, but hopefully it gets the idea across.)

Actually, I'm yet to meet a single person who thinks I'm a dork for building my own arcade controls.  In fact, everybody has said it was really cool, and they wish they had a cabinet of their own.  And I've shown it to both men and women from age 12 all the way up to retirement age.  Granted, the retirement age people didn't say they wanted one of their own, but they still thought it was cool.

I get the same reaction. People either think it's cool and want one of their own, or if they're on the older side they respect the amount of work and creativity that went into making it happen and are impressed.

How about these....you could use a font and style similar to one of the American Military logos:

Front:
BYOAC - Men and Women of Action

Back:
Screenshot from Elevator Action

Front:
BYOAC - Keeping Americac Safe

Back:
Screenshot from Missile Command

You could think of dorky little things about dozens of well-known games.

Front:
BYOAC - Gladiators On Ostriches

Back:
Screenshot from...I'm sure I don't have to even say.

To hell with all this, I'm going to make my own BYOAC shirt with iron-ons -- it's the only proper course, in the spirit of ingenuity and creativity that BYOACing enourages.. I'm off to MYODR (Make Your Own Doo-Rags) to do some research!

Umm it is a juvenile hobby man.  We are grown men and women playing with toys.
I kind of disagree with you.  While the act of playing arcade games is juvenile, the huge majority of us are grown men reclaiming some of our childhood memories.  It's fun and it's light-hearted, but I wouldn't say that the hobby itself is "juvenile".

Speaking of which, I absolutely hate the following:
BYOAC: Over 300 members playing with our joysticks since 1997
Where do 300 people get together to show off there joysticks?
BYOAC: If you build it she will play with it.  <Show pic of scantilly clad women leaning against cabinet>

"Playing with our joysticks" is beyond juvenile...it's downright stupid.  It also reeks of those hats that say "FBI: Female Body Inspector" that you can buy at the county fair.  

The "scantily clad woman" leaning against a cabinet would only work if it was a very tongue-in-cheek cartoon rather than some desperate attempt to add "sex appeal" to this hobby.  In other words, it would only work if it was "cute".

But in an attempt to not just be negative and to actually contribute something, my submission would be:

FRONT:
The "BYOAC" logo at the left breast pocket.

BACK:

(Excuse the crappy execution, but hopefully it gets the idea across.)

HAHAHA that is the best i've seen  yet...

YOUR BUILDING A WHAT??

so true.. anyone who doesn't know.. and you try to explain it to them.. they are like ?!???

Since nobody can decide on a slogan how about something tasteful and yet not bland.

Okay we never get along(howard,me).

But I honestly like his design..

Its MUCH better then some white crappy t-shirt..i mean I cant afford to wear that white shirt and look like a geek and all..this design with black is stuff is pretty good looking..

I could wear this and go outside and no one's gonna give me any weird look would they?  :D

Thanks snaake, and also thank you for testing my new webhost.  I guess remote linking works.  :D  

Anyway I think the other design posted was just a rough draft.  I liked the slogan on it, but not necessarily the layout.  It looks sorta generic, like a band camp t-shirt.  With work and some repositioning of the layout it might work though.

Oh and one more thing... the other design is too big.  I don't mean that it would look bad that big, I just mean that if we use the service we had planned on, the image has to be 8x10 or 10x8. (eg paper sized) So you could do that one, but it'd only fill the chest area, not the entire t-shirt.

I'll agree that I like Casto's the best thus far.
Game programmers do not play games for a living.  Would you say a mechanic drives cars for a living?
