Official NSM Shirt Design Thread

[mikey]

I agree with Tobbeh, and don't really like any of the designs. Perhaps we can use a different logo?

you guys liked my T shirt though right

[Olimar12345]

Remind me which one you did.

1) Green is not the final color. I'm sure I mentioned before that there would be a ton of colors to choose from. Green was a random color for the preview.
2) Date of the site's start could be done, I want to see everyone's thoughts on this though
3) We can do the status, but as I announced already before, we will not be making any huge customization options like the names as we run into copyright problems and we want to streamline the ordering as much as possible(so not like 50 designs)
4) The reason we can't do a lot with the design and why it looks so "empty" is that we aren't given much space for print. Unless we want a rectanglular outline cutting off the design, we have to work with the space we're given and that would mean that we keep it simple.
5) Unless we're to make a new logo, the site favicon may be the best we got. The other NSM logo may run into issues with being an obvious rip-off of the Nintendo logo. I'd like to stay on the safe side.

I'm all for putting the date somewhere.

[Latios212]

Imo it's pretty fine already, no need to overcomplicate things. Simple and clean.

Though the date would work well (Est. blah blah blah). And maybe a slogan of sorts like "The world's largest video game sheet music collection" or something for people wondering what the heck a Nin is.

[Zunawe]

I'm not sure a date is necessary, but something like a small "Est. 2004" would look fine below "NinSheetMusic". I think the current logo is the best choice; it's clean and simple.

Double ninjad by slow Internet.

Edit: Great minds, Latios.

[Tobbeh99]

I've got a design idea, I wasn't so specific in my previous post. How about take design A or E, and the have the text "NinSheet Music" on a staff. Like a treble clef at the beginning, then the text on the staff, could be cool I think. Also I think the size on the logo and the text are quite bad on design A and E, I'd like the logo to be a bit smaller and the text a bit bigger.

Also is it possible to have 2 colors? Like green + another color, maybe grey?

Also I don't get the thing with that we can't use our names because of copyright. Like nintendo has copyrighted "Latios" so we couldn't write "Latios212" on a shirt? Nintendo probably hasn't copyrighted "Latios212" at least, only "Latios", I'm guessing.

We can use letters with the dots and squiggles to avoid copyright issues
like an umlaut

1. I'm still choosing green as my color. XD
2. I really like the idea.
3. I would like some indication of status, but I do understand copyright issues with names.
4. The reason I chose E is because I thought it did manage the given space most efficiently.
5. I'm fine with the pixelated logo (although Tobbeh's idea could be taken pretty far if given enough details and such)

I'll mess with the design a bit when I have time.
Unfortunately we're not allowed to use more than one color for the shirt fabric.
I'm pretty sure a name like "Latios212" or "braixen1264" still won't be okay. I'd just like to steer completely clear of copyright risks

[Zunawe]

It may not be individually copyrighted, and there are discrepancies, but there is no dispute that it's Nintendo's property. Imagine somebody advertising the phone "Galaxy F7" or naming a character in an unrelated move "Ash Ketchum". Coming from somebody that has an original username and would like to put it on a shirt: we can't do it.

So I can't have my username on mine?..

You can always modify it yourself once you get it (although it might look a tad strange)

[JDMEK5]

Using our real names wouldn't help, eh? (Yeah I'm Canadian and I said "eh". I ain't oblivious) Like, the underlying issue is that the minimum order of shirts would default if there were any differences between the individuals' designs, right?

[mikey]

huh, sometimes I type eh too, but I don't usually say it out loud
