[Attachment 6645]As most of you are now aware, our Cafe Press merchandise store is now in full swing. For those of you who've already purchased goods, be sure to post some pictures unless you're the camera shy type, or a short Irishman with a Guinness belly (that's you, Reslo).
Anyway, as cool as it is to have a shirt with the GU logo on it, I'm sure you would love to see a bigger range to choose from. This is where you, the community, come into it. I'm after ideas for interesting and hopefully unique ideas. Examples might be similar to some of the nifty gaming shirts seen around the web, such as the evolution of man meeting an arcade cabinet or the "down, corner, right + punch" Hadouken Street Fighter shirts. How about a deformation of the GU logo - similar to what Blues News once did with their site logo on a regular basis?
It could simply be a witty games related slogan, or something that represents what is quintessentially Gamers-Underground.com for you. Perhaps a picture of Hitler with Paladin's face super-imposed (our self-appointed Spell-Nazi), or that decade-old photo of me with a bowl cut gone wrong that never seems to disappear.
You can suggest ideas in the comments of this article or a private message to me, or if you're feeling especially creative you can provide artwork for the print. The best suggestions will become purchasable items in the GU store - and if your idea gets in, you get a shirt featuring it for free. Additionally, the very best will also have a Steam game of their choice gifted to them.
Get your thinking caps on, and get those ideas in. You've got until March 31st!
actually that could work, you could do it like those image collages that make a larger picture, only shift the hue of all the images so they're all in the yellowy band the GU logo occupies :)

There's actually a program about that does this for you. Can't remember what it's called. *shrugs*
From what I can tell Cafe Press is such an easy platform at add designs to. Why don't we just get individual shirts made up with our GU usernames on them? That way we drum up more money for the site! I dunno. It could work.
"GU: The clean scent of spice and dark fruit." "GU: The pour appears as if it were cloudy lemon-water." "GU: The head laces well, but is generally quite shallow."
Quote from rec;380090: Classic Morge. Such a low blow! You could at least get the terminology right. :D All quoted from your beer reviews or ones you quoted from other sites.
Here are a few samples. Number two was a bit crappy but you get the idea [Attachment 6672] [Attachment 6675] [Attachment 6676] [Attachment 6674] [Attachment 6673] [Attachment 6677] [Attachment 6682] [Attachment 6681] [Attachment 6684] [Attachment 6683]
Why is there a maximum size rec any reason? I know what i can do with shirts and there aint no maximum size, no tthat the bloody machine working properly again.
print screen has never worked for me in that game without taking focus out of the game itself (alt+enter swap to desktop) - if it was that easy they wouldnt have mentioned it as an open issue in that bugs thread ;P
OK its been over a week. Pick a winner already and lodge the design with CafePress so I can order one along with the rest of the stuff for my 2nd shipment.

Shotgun ordering with you halve the shipping fee :D
Argh! My bad. Grandinferno's in town, a fellow graphic designer (and obviously GU'er), and he has also been like "wtf mayte" about this. I'll use his presence as motivation to get it done before he leaves. Or maybe I'll get him to design it. :P
High res version of Ronan's avatar collage idea finalised, and ready for purchase.
However, we've changed store location. We're no longer using Cafe Press, and have switched to a similar service provider based in Australia. The products delivered from Cafe Press were of poor print quality, so hopefully there's an improvement here. At very least, the new store means lower prices and quicker shipping times.
Oh, and shipping is free.

Ronan, I'll get your avatar collage shirt sent off to you asap, just let me know what colour and t-shirt type you want. And also what Steam game you want.
Psyave, I thought your headshot evolution idea was pretty nifty too. I'll get that done up and have a shirt sent your way with that on it too.
