IOG store

[IRStookmySpyder]

I was thinking that maybe there could be an IOG store where you could buy IOG stikers, t-shirts, jersey (Once the design is finished being made), ect and all of the profits would go to helping crankwalk pay for everything that goes into this wonderfull site. I am not sure if crankwalk has determined on a logo or not for IOG, but if not then we need someone to make a logo if most people think that this is a good idea. This is just an idea and please use the poll and vote so that we can see which most people want.

[IRStookmySpyder]

jrmiller- OK, good thanks for your support with this.

[jrmiller]

:tup:or:tdown:

[IRStookmySpyder]

jrmiller- I like it as a start, maybe once crankwalk determines a logo we can put that on some too. We just have to wait and see what crankwalk says. I am going to post that design in the first post unless we get something better.

[crankwalk]

I like that design, it reminds me of a football jersey.. the letters look like the shape of the jersey numbers :D

What does everyone else think?

[big willie]

its looks pretty good would like to see it in some different colors

[KeenDean]

I like it. Not too funky, just straight forward.

[Gee Tee]

Not bad but the letters are a too big, and the orange a bit in your face.

Wish I was a wizz with photo shop. I really like the style of lettering on the oxbow tee & the other ones a bit busy, but you could use the Bob Long skull. Also it would be nice to have a Timmy somewhere in the design, even if it's only an outline or shadow?

[BloodLustAC]

I'm not sure how complicated you could make it, but it would be sweet to have the Bob Long skull or dueling Timmys sorta faded into the background, with a cool font in front. Like the layering on the first shirt Gee Tee posted, but maybe that's too fancy.

The original one is really big and bold but with some smaller letters and a logo it would look good. It's times like this I wish I knew how to use photoshop :(

[jrmiller]

thanks for the complement guys. just a very quick one. will be doing a few more designs later. :tup:

[Gee Tee]

I'm no photoshop wizz - but here's my 1st attempt

[IRStookmySpyder]

crankwalk- ya, it has that affect on me too, lol.

big willie- I am sure that we would make shirts in different colors.

KeenDean- Ya, I like it a lot to how it isn't all done up or trying to have elaborate designs but just right to the point.

BloodLustAC- I agree with you about having dual Timmy's in the background or somewhere on the shirt. Maybe we could have that on the back of it or something.

jrmiller- can't wait to see the other designs you have.

Gee Tee- I actually really like that design.

[BloodLustAC]

Gee Tee - You may think yourself a wizz but that actually looks amazing. I was trying to make something similar to that before, on the simpler side but really good looking. I'd wear it.

[IRStookmySpyder]

BloodLustAC- I agree with you, that is a shirt I could see myself wearing to school or something.

[jrmiller]

I'm no photoshop wizz - but here's my 1st attempt

i like it. kinda took a idea that i was thinking of :P owell back to the drawing board.

[wighty]

Id Rock Gee Tee's shirt im down for the IOG store for sure!

[IRStookmySpyder]

jrmiller- lol, I guess it saved you a little bit of time if you weren't far in the designing process of that one.

wighty- It is god to see that a lot of people like my idea of having an IOG store, hope that crankwalk desides to make it.

[Gee Tee]

Thanks for the vote of confidence guys. Trouble is I'm not sure I can remember how I got there - sorta made it up on the fly. Used a photo of my Empire, plus shadow & edge glow effects. Pasted it onto a splat background & threw on some stencil font text. But I'm sure it could be re-created by a pro easily enough, and I'd be chuffed if it went into production :cool:

[KeenDean]

Gee Tee: Nice work mate, well done.

To be honest I'd wear either design. I like Gee Tee's design purely because it has a timmy on the front. I also love jrmillers design because of it's simplicity.

I'd like to know how far is anyone from coming up with some players jerseys? I have a real artistic streak and great ideas floating around in my head. Thing is I don't have the software to convert my ideas into workable designs.

I think we covered the possibility of IOG merchandise, before or just after the IOG forum changed hands to crankwalk. We had ideas of stickers, goggle straps, wrist bands, t-shirts, etc... The emergence of a request and poll for an IOG store has re-addressed this requirement, YAY.

I think it's fair to say that we'd all love to parade our glorious forums name at venues/events, either by wearing t-shirts/players jerseys. Whilst at the same time we would be adding funds to our forum, so that our owner can help keep it running faultlessly.

I am a member of several forums, and I have to admit that the users on this forum are by far the closest knit group of users around. There's no flaming or insultive posts against other users. And I for one would relish representing this great forum. I hope other users are on the same wavelength.

[BloodLustAC]

Definitely, I mean I'm not too active on here but I really love the forums. There's never any fighting (at least from what I see) because everyone treats each other with respect, and the site is run well. I'd totally be into representing IOG, either with the shirt or some stickers (did anyone ever have any stickers made?)

One idea I literally just though of as I was writing this is some kind of LCD screen cover that says IOG or has a logo on it, meant to light up the words/image on it when using an LED board. I don't think it's anything more than a piece of paper, but it would be cool to have. I saw this on angelowners, but obviously Angel LCD screens are much bigger so I dunno if it would work well. I'll find an example.

EDIT: okay, back already. http://angelowners.com/showthread.php?t=50363 hopefully you guys can view that without registering, but that's the idea.

[Megatron]

An IOG store is an awesome idea and i would definitely sport either one of those t-shirt designs (jrmiller & GeeTee)....or rock an IOG sticker on my car, hopper, girlfriend, or anything it would stick to

[IRStookmySpyder]

Gee Tee- it is one of those things that you do once and you couldn't do it again if you tried things, lol. I have had many of them, but like you said I am sure someone with a lot of experience could do it again.

KeenDean- lol about the part with the poll bringing this idea back. I figured a poll would be the easiest way to see who is for it and who is against it. And also about this being the closest knit, I agree, I am a member of 4 different paintball sites and this is the only one a donate to, I mean the other ones are all bad, but like you said no one is flaming anyone and everyone just gets along.

BloodLustAC- That is a pretty cool idea, but not so sure it would be a very big seller on here, but it doesn't sound too hard to make at home though.

Megatron- lol at the part about sticking a sticker on your girlfriend. I don't think my girl would be to happy about it, but I would get her a shirt and just take the sleeves off of it.

[Gee Tee]

Ok.... own up who voted 'No' on the poll? :D

A mate in my bike club got a few shirts made last season by a local firm. Quality was good & only cost us £15 each for a 2 colour design. Wonder if it's worth getting a few IOG shirts run up to try out ideas?

[crankwalk]

I think both of the designs look nice. I am inclined to prefer that if an outline shadow of a Timmy is used, it would be the Gen5's since they are the newest -- maybe a Vice .. but that's just me :)

I will definitely start researching how to add a store to the site. I meant to do this prior but after I got the site back online I've got caught up with a bunch of stuff at work.

One friendly word of advice though... we probably shouldn't look into using any copyrighted images from Bob Long i.e. the Skull, or any other proprietary logo type stuff. I think outlines of markers are fine though :tup:

[IRStookmySpyder]

Gee Tee- Lol, I was wondering the same thing. I actually wish they would own up and tell us why he doesn't like the idea of having a IOG store.

crankwalk- Ya, I was hoping that someone could find a way to get a picture of the duel Vice's or Protege(SP). Ya, I would definately try and find that out as soon as you can about starting the store.

[BloodLustAC]

I think both of the designs look nice. I am inclined to prefer that if an outline shadow of a Timmy is used, it would be the Gen5's since they are the newest -- maybe a Vice .. but that's just me :)

Yeah it makes more sense to use the Gen5's, but to me Gen3 always looks the most like the Timmys everyone knows and loves, and the outline is probably more distinctive. But whatever, regardless of what type of gun is used it's a sweet design.

when i arrive home ill throw something worth putting on a shirt. not to sure what to make but owell.

[IRStookmySpyder]

BloodLustAC- Right now the Gen3's maybe what everyone knows and loves, but wait till more people get their hands on the Gen5's, that will be what everyone will know and love. But like you said any Timmy is good for me.

jrmiller- Oh god here comes the most amazing T-shirt I have ever seen in my life, lol. I can't wait to see what you come up with. And did you get my PM?

[Gee Tee]

Had another go with a Vice

Took ages and I still prefer my original using the Empire profile. The Vice is a dificult outline to work with & not as instantly recognisable. The clamshell grip shape, LP reg and longer body stand out more on older timmy's

[crankwalk]

But whatever, regardless of what type of gun is used it's a sweet design.I could agree with that logic as well. maybe the "classic" alias shape would be more recognizable/agreeable? If we go with this kind of design I'll let the forum decide what type of marker outline is preferred.

[crankwalk]

[BloodLustAC]

Exactly. As awesome as Gen5 will surely be, they aren't as well known as the older guns. Maybe in time they will be, but I still think Gen3 is what comes to mind when anyone thinks "Timmy."

They both look sweet though, but I think an outline of the gun would look better.

Edit: Ah, I didn't see crankwalk's posts first, so now this is just restating the same thing but I can't figure bout how to delete posts =P

[Gee Tee]

Think I've finally cracked it?

Managed to keep feel of original but with outline of vice

I need a lie down now :P

[crankwalk]

[IRStookmySpyder]

Gee Tee- Nice work with both of those designs.

crankwalk- I agree with you about maybe using the "classic" Alais design. Did you find any information on how to start the store?

[jrmiller]

nice. id wear that :tup:

[IRStookmySpyder]

jrmiller- Did you get my PM about making the design of your t-shirt smaller? Let me know, thanks.

[crankwalk]

crankwalk- I agree with you about maybe using the "classic" Alais design. Did you find any information on how to start the store?Yeah It looks like with a PayPal script for buttons (similar to the one on the front page) I can set one up fairly easily (will be simple though) once we have items to offer for sale.

[IRStookmySpyder]

crankwalk- OK, are you going to do that then?

[big willie]

good to know this might happen

[IRStookmySpyder]

big willie- good to hear that you want the store to open, lol. Thanks for the support with this idea guys, can't wait to see if it works or not.

[crankwalk]

crankwalk- OK, are you going to do that then?Absolutely. I plan on doing this as soon as we have merchandise.. we have a great start with these designs so far ;)

[IRStookmySpyder]

crankwalk- GREAT, I am so glad that I made this thread, I felt kind of stupid at first because I figured that you might think that it is stupid or something, but it is quite the opposite I guess.

[Shifter19]

Hey saw the thread and it seems like a great idea. I would definetly wear one of these shirts, maybe buy them as Christmas presents for next year (That way Gramps can look good too!, lol).
I saw Gee Tee's original design, and deided to doodle a little. Someone mentioned two timmy's crossed at the barrel, so thats what I tried.
Photoshop wasnt working, so I used paint instead. :(

Did this in like, 10 minutes
http://i112.photobucket.com/albums/n192/shifter19/IOGShirtIdea1.jpg

[IRStookmySpyder]

Shifter19- That design looks pretty good for only taking like 10min, with my computer the image is kind of small, but aren't those 2k2 Intimidator's?

[crankwalk]

I believe those are outlines of a 2k4-2k5 Empire I Timmy

so does everyone think that we should be using the "classic" Alias outline for shirts?

[Gee Tee]

I vote for classic - maybe we need another poll?

[Megatron]

kinda hard to say.....i use a gen 3, so i am sort of partial to that platform, but in the same breath i think the gen 5's should be used because they're newest and the hottest timmys and they should be promoted(& i want one soooo bad)

:confused::confused::confused:

[wighty]

I think IMO that there should be a whole bunch of stensils made up with different timmies like heres my example...

In my gearbag I have

Dragon 2.5
Species 2.5
06 Empire
and soon to be a Vice

Now if you want to wait a little longer you can Custom Order a stensil to be made up and use whatever timmy bodies you want...

Id get a couple tees

one with my dragon and Species

one with my Empire and Vice

then we can do it with years made so

Classics
Gen 2's
Gen 3's
Gen 4's
Gen 5's

if you want to wait anything is possible

[jrmiller]

its got my vote. has been the flagship marker of bob for a long time.

[BloodLustAC]

its got my vote. has been the flagship marker of bob for a long time.

Same here, as sweet as Gen5 is I think Gen3 is more "Timmy" than anything else.

About getting all different designs, it's a cool idea but that would mean buying single shirts to be made, which is a lot costlier than getting a single design made up for everyone. I think if we just go with something well-known like the Alias it would be best, since I think that's the most common Gen3 out there.

[Shifter19]

Or make multiple kinds of shirts?
Maybe on the back year of production of the timmy on the front and some specks about the gun
But that is kind of complicated.:tdown:
Just a thought.

Sounds like a lot of work to organise but a great suggestion, and I think it's worth the wait to get the shirts we really want :tup:

I've a contact for a local shop here in the UK that does short runs and 1 offs. They arn't pukka screen prints but a 2 colour print only costs about £15, and it would be a good way of proving a design before committing to larger numbers

[crankwalk]

This is actually a prett cool idea :cool:

kinda cool. could call it the tech shirt maybe? :rolleyes::)

[IRStookmySpyder]

Shifter19- pretty cool idea. But like someone above said maybe there could just be a bunch of different shirts with whatever design you want on them, that way you can please everyone.

jrmiller- lol, if someone goes to sell there Timmy they could just like take a picture of the shirt instead of writing it out.

[BloodLustAC]

Very cool idea, but once you get rid of the gun it becomes obsolete of course =P

I think in order to please everyone you could get a few different shirts done, with either different generations or different styles from the same Gen. But it's hard to tell the difference between millings in the same Gen, so if you did a shirt for each popular generation then people could buy whatever they shoot/like most. Just yet another thought.

[Shifter19]

Or instead of becoming obsolete they would be a memorial to your favorite timmy's once they are gone!
wow 2-1 right there. lol

[IRStookmySpyder]

Crankwalk- Do you have a design that you really like yet and want to try to get made?

[IRStookmySpyder]

crankwalk- How long do you think it will be till you open the store?

[jrmiller]

think it going to be awile. have to get everything in order :cool::tup:

[IRStookmySpyder]

jrmiller- Ya, I kind of figured that it would, but I am trying to make sure that crankwalk doesn't lose interest in this idea.

[crankwalk]

Hi guys, been busy with Christmas stuff and the holidays - but I did manage to create a template for the store

http://www.intimidatorowners.com/forums/store.php

Once we have merchandise all I have to do is insert a paypal button for each item we will have for sale.

Hope everyone had a good holiday!

[IRStookmySpyder]

crankwalk- Can't wait to see the finished product for these shirts and this store. Did you deside which t-shirts you are going to use?

[crankwalk]

Not sure yet, were there any more ideas / shirt designs?

[IRStookmySpyder]

crankwalk- There are some on the first page, but not sure if you are talking about any new designs or any designs besides the one that you posted.

[Slimpikins976]

I like all the good work pretty sweet guys keep it up and put me down for a shirt when ever they come out !!!

[IRStookmySpyder]

Slimpikins976- I do to, it is good to see everything starting to get better. Can't wait to see this place in a couple months.

[IRStookmySpyder]

Haven't heard anything in a while. How is the store coming crankwalk or other mods? Thanks for any update provided.

[crankwalk]

Ah, the store. Something that was completely put on the back burner the past few months as that pesky personal life of mine crept into my spare time :D

Now that summer is coming I will have more time to devote to putting up an IOG merchandise store. Did we ever decide on any images or logos for shirts or stickers?

[IRStookmySpyder]

crankwalk- Ah, I hate that when that happens to me. I don't really think that anyone really came up with any designs even though many said that they were working on them.
