    APRIL 4th, Please have your orders in by that time. If someone really needs a little longer, just let me know. You can change your order up until then as well. Estimated delivery would be no later than 21st, but hopefully the 18th, so we could have them at the meeting.

    I have located a local printer. We need 12 pieces, but can be a combination of any of the below. Send me a pm. I can take paypal, use "devil_chick51489(at)yahoo.com" if you are using a credit card through paypal, please add an extra $0.75 for tees, $1.25 for jerseys/pullovers due to card processing fees, money orders, cash or checks. Takes 10-14 days to press once we submit an order with them.

    all are available in S-4X and in youth sizes as well. Youth sizes might be cheaper, let me know if you need a quote on a particular style in a youth size. Or, if you are really wanting a certain product, I can probably get it. just let me know.

    That white on Blue is killer! =D=

    I still kinda like just having the design on the back without the extra text. The poster text style design would make great advertising though. That way our advertising matches the t-shirts!

    I think the top part of the design would be cool enough. :) :cool:

    I was wondering about all the text making it a little busy; where a passerby might not catch the important info of location and Web address. What about just leaving the

    "Bloomington, IN"

    and

    "www.hoosieralliance.com"?

    It would be less busy. Whatever you guys want.

    And yeah, I used illustrator so it is infinitely scalable.

    WOW, very cool!

    Love the White on ____uh, eerrr...well, I call it STAR WARS blue:)

    and if the Blue pruduct had a star field all over it, so much the better.

    ref busy lettering,

    If on the front, it can be easily seen/read/talked about,
    when meeting people/fans and might be useful.

    I suggest that any HA member wearing the shirt kinda becomes the
    ambassador of good-will for the HA, and the wording for all the
    HA activities/beliefs seems not as critical.

    The web site info, however, does seem to have more relavance.

    but, no matter how it goes, count me in:)

    I tracked down where I stored the fonts that I used for our website, and also the a vector graphic version of our logo. Note to the internet at large, for the logo I'm maintaining all copyrights; any current member of the Hoosier Alliance may freely use the logo for HA business only. If you wish to use the logo outside of a HA sanctioned project, please contact me first. The font, however, I found on the internet and as far as I know is still completely free, so download that one at will. :)

    Vector Version of our logo: Logo
    Font: SF Distant Galaxy Font

    (note, when looking at the logo, you need to download it to your local system and have the SF Distant Galaxy font installed; if you look at it in your web browser, it will likely look all messed up since that font is not installed on the server)

    The font they used for the copy was Avante. The closing text was Avante Bold.

    I am in favor of just having the city and domanin on there. T-shirts are not a great place for lots of text... to read it, a person has to stare at you for a long time. It just doesn't happen in most cases. I like the focus being on the cool logo.

    $.02 :)

    Professionally I have to agree. If these are going to be calling cards for the HA, then having the location and website info will be able to convey more than having all the other info as well. When people start having to read a lot of text, they tend to glaze over all of it.

    I think the design elements of the logo will be enough to imply Star Wars affiliation to anyone who would likely be interested. I will throw up a version without the extra text as well, see what the opinion is.

    I added the other version to the top of this. When looking at it, try to imagine you know nothing of HA, but are a Star Wars fan.

    Just a thought.

    My problem with the 2nd one is it dosent tell you what the Hoosier Alliance IS.
    But I love the "Coming to your galaxy every month" That is a must.

    I think they are both cool, though I do favor a approach that has less text on the shirt. Too much to read and people will miss it or "give up" before reading the whole shirt. Better I think to have a little less and have someone ask about "that cool shirt you're wearing". :)

    The t-shirt was updated. You may need to refresh. I took Bloomington, IN out largely due to the web address becoming lost. I was wanting something that people could look at for three seconds and retain information from. Let me know your thoughts.

    Just a thought, but what about moving the "coming to your galaxy every month" part to the back? Would that cost much extra? I think if the back of the shirt was plain no one would care about what was on the front, but this way they might be curious about what was coming to their galaxy every month.

    Actually, this whole thing was on the back. The front was going to have the cog.

    ref the,


    less is more


    concerning text.


    I suggest that not referencing certain STAR WARS "key" words,
    might prevent any Imperial entanglements:)


    Agree with HT on web site address
    and with echo-3 on tag line.

    I suggest a run of at least 10,000
    for each size and style
    so you do not run out.[face_laugh]
