Merchandise!

Postby Xyn_Air » Wed Mar 26, 2008 2:45 pm

I was just wondering if ever it has been discussed the idea of SimV-themed merchandise.   Of course, I realize that we are a small community (say, in comparison to, oh I don't know, China), and that there probably is not going to be a SimV shopping mall in the near future.  Also, it would not be at all practical for Pete to keep a lot of merchandise sitting around his home hoping that one of us sods will buy it.  And finally, since we all live all over the world, shipping would just be a murderous nightmare.  However . . .

I do know that in many places you can have all sorts of things adorned with your own logos and graphics.  From T-shirts to coffee mugs to mouse pads to stickers, there is just a lot of things an individual can have made in single-order size.

I was wondering if we got approval for a specific graphic or usage of the SimV logo, would it be reasonable to ask for permission to have something made for personal use (i.e. not to sell)?  I kind of think it would be kewl to have a SimV mouse pad or T-shirt (I especially like logo-ed T-shirts).

Thoughts?

I like the idea, Darrin. Deer Valley Flying Club has something similar, as does Bush Flying Unlimited. Example....

I wouldn't mind to have a nice sticker on my car or wear a T-shirt with logo.

Crash ;)

Ok, testing the water (so hopefully not treading on anyone's toes, so to speak), but how many UK based (or even European based perhaps too) members would be interested say in a SimV mug?

You could put me down for a couple of mugs.

If anybody's willing to do it, I'd buy a mug too...

I don't know if anyone's aware, but you can buy printer paper that you can iron pictures on to white T-shirts. Someone(with PS experience) could make an image to be printed onto T-shirts for meet ups
