I think, they should increase the size of their logo.

Wow, looks very… minimalistic. It would make a decent undershirt.

….where’s the logo

(horrible contrasts, logo, design)

Well, you could have attachable glasses and hand them over to on lookers so that they could see the logo.

CentralDesktop seems to be a good alternative to 37signals

nice shirt, but I would have thought they would want to make the logo bigger and more noticeable.
Is there nothing on the back of the shirt?

This is a very nice and simple T-shirt. I do not know if it would stick out very much to people looking at it though.

Simple, clean – I love white T’s…. Pity is I tend to dirty them up quickly.

You never look happy in these pictures. What’s the deal? Next time you should smile and have some fun with it.

20 James C August 15, 2008 at 11:55 am

Yeah, the logo needs to be bigger. You have a box or something to store all these shirts?

Watchout Tigh! I’ll be sending a T your way shortly!

I’m loving the blog changes as well!

23 Le Melon August 15, 2008 at 12:19 pm

@Brad:
Yeah, maybe the size of his smile is code for how good he thinks the T-Shirt is.
So when the logo’s too small he looks unhappy?
What I’m wondering is: Does jeremy ever wear these shirts again?

24 ShoeMoney August 15, 2008 at 12:22 pm

@Le Melon not usually ;)

25 jim August 15, 2008 at 1:15 pm

You can always donate them to the local Goodwill!

My friend told me that even if you think your clothes are ugly or kinda beat up (as in no one would buy them), they sometimes ship them to other countries and “sell” them there.

Within the past week I have heard of multiple companies that are giving away free t-shirts for blogging, voting for their blog, or providing news stories (details on those later). The idea is brilliant because giving away t-shirts that cost a few bucks to make but getting countless backlinks and promotion.

Wonderful idea , great way of advertising.

@Le Melon – I think your right. I’ve looked back into the archives and I think you’re on to something here. Definitely a pattern.

Less is more with that T-shirt :) Thye should have made their logo just a touch bigger!

You don’t wear these shirts much after the picture? You can give them to your kids as night shirts when they get big enough to run around! How is your baby girl, by the way? Doing well I hope!

Reply

50 Goran Website August 19, 2008 at 4:29 pm

The logo is far too small. I guess more people would wear it as it does not look like a “promo tshirt”

Reply

51 Otooo August 23, 2008 at 2:53 am

I agree – the logo needs to be way bigger and it should be centralized as well
