Apollo T-Shirt: Update

A decision has finally been made regarding the back of the Apollo T-Shirt I’m putting together. There were so many great ideas (more responses than I expected) that it made for a hard decision to make on my own. So, I enlisted other fellow bloggers and friends to help me make the decision. Even then I narrowed it down to three.

The overall top choice was (insert drumroll here):

“One small step for man, one giant leap for developers” posted by Mathias

I think Ryan Stewart had part of it right as to why this ended up being the decision:

…it ties in so well with the theme and the
old days of central.

In the end it was the tie in with the theme, memorableness (a word?) and reactions that I got that pushed this one to the top. So, Mathias, you get a free shirt and if you don’t claim it the free shirt goes to Grant :)

There are also two runners up:

“Desktop 2.0″ posted by Faisal Abid and “The web is not enough…” posted by Stefan le Roux. If the runners up want a shirt they can get it for a discount with their winning phrase on the back.

Thanks to everyone who put their 2 cents in. If you’d like a shirt I’m thinking of making them available for sale in any size, red or dark grey with one of the 3 phrases on the back. I need to finish the design first, so if you’re interested you might want to wait to see what the art looks like.

Keep in mind these are “home-made” shirts, so there might be small imperfections, but I’ll do my best :)

Time to get screenprinting.

    hallo Juan.

    first of all, THANKS for the offer of a discount on your T-Shirt, even with my slogan on the back. I chose “The web is not enough” because Macromedia’s slogan used to be “What the web can be”, years ago (1999). I believe MM delivered on this promise, and now Adobe’s out to do the same for the Desktop. Whenever your ready, please let me know and I’ll (PayPal?) you some cash for a medium red shirt, with white lettering, The web is not enough. thanks again for inspiring us all!

    Stefan,

    I’m in the process of setting up a store to sell the shirts. I will make the shirts available as soon as I finalize the design (hopefully this weekend).

    Here’s the url: http://scalenine.bigcartel.com/

    Nothing there yet, but I’ll post when product is available.
