If you guys want case stickers check out http://www.overclockersbadges.com. Ive got a HardOCP badge on my case from him, it looks very, very nice. If he can get a big enough order hell do it, cheap too.

I am on it.I am looking into everything you members want,and I will do my best to provide it,but we need to concentrate on selecting the logo or submiting one.That is the jist of the effort now so we can ramp up the art work for manufacturing.That is the 2 week window. I will do my best to secure the products you want with my limited cash flow(some companies require a minimum order,so you can see it can get expensive quick!) and as orders are placed,we would naturallly be in a position to purchase more.

Unless the sky falls,this is happening.

I have an account with a badge maker in the Keys that does a fantastic job.I tag all my machines.If you want the "badges" like I saw on your link,a design needs to be made to fit that size area and voted for approval just as they did.

I'm on the case. Thanks for the input.

Tripleshot- Any word yet on the poll? I have one ready to go (minus pictures) so let me know.

I have met with the supplier and asked about the size of the logo.There is a size for the embroidery,but not for the artwork.Submit your design in a gif,bmp,jpg format. The maqnufacturer adjusts the size when the logo is done.I am placing the logo on the left chest. The less intricate the design,the better the embroidery.The more colorthe more expense and potential for degredation. The logo at the top of this page is good.It is simple and uses few color changes.If you confine your designto no larger than a business card,The artwork can be shrunk or expanded when it is digitezed.If you wish to submitart for a tag(like "intel inside" size)keep in mind the need to keep it simple and proportional to a square of that size.Again,that artwork is digitized and made to fit,but simple is easier.

I hope that helps. I will be bringing updates as we go.

I am no good at graphics but if some one would use the logo at the top and replace FORUMS with Distributed computing that would be like totally cool and simple to boot

 

[Tripleshot]

Narzy,
Good idea. Now we need someone with the talent to manipulate that image to try and submit itto your webpage.
Any takers?;P

 

[BoberFett]

Just read this thread, it's a cool idea. I'd probably be in for a few items.

I sent Narzy a modified pic. For a final image, we might want something a little higher res. Is there anybody that could talk to Anand about getting a high res version of the logo?

 

[Tripleshot]

I'm going to throw another issue into the pot and stir.

Is anyone thinking of a team color scheme?along with the logo,if I where walking in a mall or at a convention,I may be drawn to a shirt that was a team color, even from behind.Then when I caught up with the individual,I would then look at his left chest for the Team logo.
<<whoppie!! I found a friend from anandtech. Who might you be?>>

Don't laff---It could happen.

 

[ViRGE]

Tripleshot, the unofficial team color is very similar to the forums. You'll get a good look at it once the team website goes up.

Personaly I think A black, white or even grey polo shirt would look more &quot;Professional&quot;. And the Slash threw the A would look nice on either one.

So far that looks blue.Are we looking at the same page?
......................................................................
I was thinking an off white or cream color polo with the AnandTech logo would look nice,but the team needs to vote on the logo and it may have an impact on my choice from that.

The suspense is nerve racking!

 

[ViRGE]

Tripleshot, check out http://members.home.com/virgedx/tascreens.exe, it's a couple of shots of the webpage.

 

[Tripleshot]

hmmmmmmmmmmm.Is that the same as Tims?Is two tone blue the color?

 

[ViRGE]

Ya, pretty much Tripleshot.

 

[mindless]

Sorry I wasnt aware that you already had a line in for the case badges. Once Im not broke Im gonna have to pick me up a t-shirt.

While you guys are working on logos try and keep away from the Anandtech logo, its a little plain, that and this is Team Anandtech, not Anandtech.

 

[Tripleshot]

good backdrop for logo 2. Members ALERT. send your logos in. Team responce is Team participation.

 

[narzy]

how about a white shirt with a blue collar (the same shade of blue on the forums the dark blue)

 

[vi edit]

I just want to hop in and say that I think that this is a great idea. I would definitely be in for a couple polos.

My personal preferance would be a basic white polo with the &quot;anandtech&quot; logo w/ the words &quot;distributed computing&quot; replacing the word forums as the logo on the left breast.

And, if you had black buttons, you would have one very sharp shirt. I'd wear that sucker with pride.

I think you may be pleasently surprised.I am waiting for the webpage to be finished and the votes to be taken and then the ordering can take place.(I like your style!)
