In another thread, a member brought up the topic of a Pipes Magazine shirt for purchase. Does Pipes Magazine have a shirt for purchase and/or other swag? If not, would the PTB be interested in having a contest to design such an item?
I am wondering if we could have a contest on the content of the mug, shirt, cap, etc. Kevin or some other group (if they have the time for it)could vote on a winner, and then we could probably just send the "creative" to one of the myriad of online print houses. I believe some of them don't make you print a certain quantity, but don't hold me to that.
I know that there are dozens of artistic-types on this site that know more about this than I do.
Just my .02
Well, we can make our own PM logos and then each can use Cafepress.com to buy our own shirts and mugs... Kevin would only have a win/win situation on his hands. We would each buy our own, and he would get free advertising by our sporting PM logos out amongst the gentiles.
I can't imagine a single negative with that. Unless he doesn't trust our judgement in deciding on the design.
We wouldn't be asking PM to dig anything out of pocket.
And, if we are kept busy, we wouldn't be setting around going, "Oh my, I wonder what Rhoth is doing?" or dragging Peterson's lousy QC through the mud :wink:
Yeah I seem to remember the last time this was brought up Kevin said, nope and don't go making your own with pipes magazine mentioned either because it was his brand.
I don't think it would be a good idea to use any images from the forum at Cafe Press or similar. They are owned by Kevin and I'm certain they would be protected.
