Month of June Only: BL T-Shirts

hhh · 2016-06-05 21:17:06

People have asked about BL T-shirts so I've started a Booster campaign that expires on July 5, 2016...

https://www.booster.com/bunsenlabs-flame-t-shirt

For $20 USD you can show your support for BunsenLabs and end up with a slick grey-on-black shirt, our PayPal account will receive a portion of this campaign. We need to sell 8 to have it printed and shipped.

(The Booster site shows me as being recipient of the funds because I organized the campaign and the BL PayPal account is also in my name. The funds go directly to our PayPal without me touching it, and I am not the only one with administrative privileges of the account.)

Only 30 days left, get yours now!

For anyone outside of the US, Booster is a little limited I'm afraid (no Japan?!!? Da' frick?)...

If you want a T and are outside of these countries or don't want to pay those high shipping fees, please post here and I'll set something else up.

hhh · 2016-06-06 00:56:00

If don't want to or can't use Booster, do an Internet search for online t-shirt logo uploads for your country or international. For example...

@hhh

I ordered mine! In fact I think I was the first! I am going to DefCon this year so I can show it off. Now if I can just get BL stickers??? big_smile

hhh · 2016-06-06 04:00:48

Confirmed, 1 order has been... ordered, and you have raised $9 USD for BunsenLabs Linux. Thank you! 7 to go to make this campaign a success (I'll order mine when I get paid this Tuesday, so six to go).

-edit- I'll look into stickers when this campaign is over.

gree · 2016-06-08 12:44:56

@all, if anyone from .eu is interested;
I can manufacture all kind of stickers (all sizes);t-shirts;shirts;poster,...

If there is any need for that we should gather all orders to one -thx

If you don't see it, it's not there.

Any chance of adding some text to these t-shirts? The "Bunsen" flame is nice, but the shirt is pretty generic without the addition of Bunsenlabs Linux to the moniker.

Sorry for the delayed response on this, I had to contact Booster and today was the first opportunity I had. An excellent suggestion.

Yes, I can still change the logo to one with text underneath it or beside it, but I can't run 2 logos for this campaign. I'll mock up those two versions later today and we can discuss which one to use. I'd like for topdollar to agree to the change, since his order has already been placed.

By the way, I called Booster (their customer service is excellent) to find out what happens if we don't sell 8 shirts. It's a no-harm-no-foul deal, the shirts don't get printed and nobody's credit card gets charged. If we sell, say, six, Booster will offer me the option of buying the last 2 so the order can go through (which I will do if needed).

hhh · 2016-06-10 16:17:29

Did I say excellent? I should have said exemplary, the benchmark in customer service.

David, the rep I spoke with, took the initiative and downloaded our logo from bunsenlabs.org and redesigned the shirt, grey on black.

I say we use this version. Opinions? Orders? Onions?

fox · 2016-06-10 16:39:06

Thanks for considering this, hhh. Definitely better; now the symbol means something. But if I can make one more suggestion, could you add "Linux" to the Bunsenlabs, so that people seeing the t-shirt will get a clue what it's about?

Nah, I don't like that idea. If we put it to the side, the text is too long, if we stack it, the logo looks too busy.

You can clue them in, it'll be a good conversation starter.

pvsage · 2016-06-10 23:50:07

I like it with just the logo and name. It looks like a Corp(TM). shirt; the polar bait-and-switch aspect of the conversation (for-profit vs. libre) is too delicious. devil

So...which link should I order from to help make this happen, Booster or Custom Ink?

EDIT: I'll place my order with Booster after @hhh pushes the change.

I'm going to go ahead and OK the new design with Booster tomorrow.

Unia · 2016-06-11 11:00:10

Is there any option of getting these to Europe, or more specifically, the Netherlands?

gree · 2016-06-11 16:36:19

I just looked into spreadshirt; could you make the new logo (the logo which will be used) public?
@hhh : on spreadshirt you can sell the shirt just like on booser; you can also add an "design fee" which will be the revenue for bunsenlabs/you

nightlybuild · 2016-06-11 19:29:01

Spreadshirt would be great! Booster's outside-USA shipping cost is a little too high for me to get a BL T-shirt.

gree · 2016-06-11 20:15:19

@admins ... let me know; in case of any problems with spreadshirt I'm more than willing to help...

The logo is public, Booster customer support downloaded it from the web, either from bunsenlabs.org or from bunsen-images on GitHub.

I'll look into spreadshirt. I'm waiting till Monday to give Booster the OK for the new image, so I'll post back then.

Thanks for the feedback, everyone!

topdollar · 2016-06-12 13:42:15

Good Morning!

Sorry been slammed at work!

@hhh I really like the new design, https://www.customink.com/lab?NDXD=fals … -00am-6jnm
please feel free to change my order to the new shirt!

Thanks again and cheers! big_smile

hhh · 2016-06-13 20:12:05

The new logo has been uploaded...

https://www.booster.com/bunsenlabs-flame-t-shirt

I'll update the OP pic later.

We only have 1 order so far, we need a little support from our U.S.A. users!

pvsage · 2016-06-14 07:39:38

^ You now have two orders.

hhh · 2016-06-14 11:52:49

I saw that, thank you very much! I'll place mine tonight, so we're at 3.

-edit- I've updated the OP with the new image, it looks really good! To people outside of the US, thanks for your patience. I'll set it up over the next few days, I'm having a busy week.

hhh · 2016-06-17 03:03:24

I've bought mine.

USA people, we need five more orders by the first week of July. Four will do nicely, I'll buy the last shirt. COME ON, LET'S PRINT THESE!
