Mark's tee shirt idea versus mine!

Capt Dizle · June 20, 2002, 02:47

Mark is thinking of making a tee shirt saying:It's just a game.

I am thinking along the lines of: Civ3: It's a shame it's just a game.

Which would you buy?

dexters · June 20, 2002, 02:59

I like your idea better JT.

Cut the Civ 3 part. More universal.

Agreed!

It's a shame that a troll and a good idea result in a great idea.

"It's a shame it's just a game."

I'd buy that.

MarkG · June 20, 2002, 05:26

jimmy, if you want to order a custom t-shirt, you CAN!

Civ 3 Its a shame of a game.

I might order a golf shirt if markG pays the shipping

and why should I pay money so that you can get a t-shirt cheaper?

Hydey · June 20, 2002, 05:51

Seems like a good idea to me

notyoueither · June 20, 2002, 06:07

Hey Mark.

Civ. It's a shame it's just a game.

Design it. I'll buy it.

MarkG · June 20, 2002, 06:09

'Its a shame its just a game'.

Its too rhymey i.e. shame-game. It sounds like poor poetry. Heres some other alternatives.

CivX. Its just a game.

CivX. Its a pity its just a game

1)the customer is always right

2) please dont try to change the mind of our customers after they have made an order

notyoueither · June 22, 2002, 05:38

I like the long sleeve shirts, and the coffee mugs.

MarkG · June 22, 2002, 07:16

if you dont like the design just say so

Colon™ · June 22, 2002, 16:32

I don't like it.

that's why they are called "custom" and are named after the people who asked for them

Well design one you do like and buy it.

hydey waits for commission in the mail

MarkG · June 22, 2002, 19:39

i think i'll make a "i'm the best civ2 player in the world" t-shirt

notyoueither · June 22, 2002, 21:11

I like it Mark, but...

The font seems out of place for civ (I mean the 'it's a shame...' text). Also, I'm not sure if the text above is best or not.

Anybody have any ideas? Where's Sn00py when you need him?

Ignorance · June 23, 2002, 04:49

Could it be "Shame it's just a game: Civilization" it sounds correct, and better. Can someone with better english skills confirm?

notyoueither · June 23, 2002, 05:17

... Nope.

'Civ. It's a shame it's just a game' captures the spirit I'm after.

Call me illiterate. Say I have no style, but it strikes me right.

MarkG · June 23, 2002, 05:19

specific layout ideas are welcome

if not above, where? my idea was that "civ" was the center of everything. should it be the "shame" phrase?

FrostyBoy · June 23, 2002, 09:11

I actually had some ideas for this a while back

Hey, you told us to say it if we don't like the design.

How do you submit a design of your own? To make one you could use MS Word, I suppose?

nope, i need a bmp or jpg at 200dpi. the front image for the t-shirts can be at most 10x8 inches(or 8x10)

MarkG · June 23, 2002, 11:28

snoopy,
i obviously need a version of that twice as big to make it work

Yeah! Sn00py comes through.

FrostyBoy · June 23, 2002, 21:26

Can you put it on the back? It might look a lot better on the back.

MarkG · June 24, 2002, 02:43

swetshirt updated

notyoueither,
1) do you want this graphic instead?
2) do you want on the back?

here's how a grey t-shirt would look with it in the back(and the apolyton logo in front)

notyoueither · June 24, 2002, 04:07

I like it on the front I think.

Thank you, and Sn00py.

I'll look after the details shortly.
