Dsstester merchandise including t-shirts, mouse pads, golf shirts, undies, and all kinds of crazy things are now available for sale! Check out: http://www.cafepress.com/dssgear

It took me many hours to get the logo into a vector image to ensure proper printing but I think it looks okay. Thanks to SKUNKER for the original logo and the entire idea to try this out. I will be getting a t-shirt sent to you asap for your help.

I will come out with new styles and slogans as much as I can so check back often. Feel free to offer your own ideas! Mainly I wanted the store to be a way to support this website while not just begging for cash or membership fees.

I hope it works out! SAMPLES:

Ok well it seems (as SKUNKER found out) alot of you would like to fly your dsstester colors and get a t-shirt as a way to support this site (and look l33t doing so). Props to Skunk for getting me off my lazy ass for this. That logo kicks ass!

Dsstester merchandise including t-shirts, mouse pads, golf shirts, hoodies, hats, key chains, and all kinda of crazy things will be available starting this weekend through cafepress.com (http://www.cafepress.com/cp/info/storeref.aspx?refby=dssgear). Click the link if you don't know of them as they can put your logo on just about anything and handle ALL the details. Good business tool.

IDEAS for logos are welcomed and WILL BE rewarded with Rep and a Free T-Shirt. If we use your logo I will buy you a shirt myself and award you 250 Rep. IMAGES are needed. They have to be high quality or they wont print right. The larger the image the better and 150-300 DPI are what's needed.

Slogans are also needed for front and backs. What do you want to see on a t-shirt? let me know and it will happen.

They can be email to me at webmaster@dsstester.com or posted in this thread.

There will be an announcement when the store is finished and ready for orders. Thanks to all who showed an interest especially the Skunk man :D

Here are some samples I been working on based on Skunks awesome design. In fact I like it so much I will likely zap our current logo in favor of it.

Chip, if you all ready are going with something as what you have shown us to be used as a base then

On the front : DSS in Darker Color Gold with Black Trim

On the front : Skull & X Bone's remain the same

On the front : Tester in Darker Deep Color Red

On the front : Pirate Tv remain the same as Skull & X Bone's

On the front : The Revolution Will Not Be Televised in Darker Deep Color Red to match Tester

On the front : Left Hand sleve centred, V.I.P in Color Gold To Match DSS and the V.I.P member's name printed under it if they are a V.I.P at this site in the Color of Dark Navy Blue

Note : Chip, as you are aware of whom are actually V.I.P's here at your own site, you can give the store such info to that ahead of time as well as the V.I.P's mailing addy's, this will stop other peep's from actually acquiring a V.I.P logo that are allowed too & ordering a shirt with some one else's nick on it

The V.I.P's that may want such, that is if you make this option available to us, must then send you their actual mail addy ahead of time, so that you can send that info to the store as well for confimation as such on any order's

On The back : I think that maybe it would be a good idea to leave the , I Do It For The Free Porn out of the picture sort of speaking. Reason, keep in mind that for most of us, some do have children & it may also eliminate the use of the shirt being worn as much, hence creating less exposure to the site & maybe any discomfort to other's whom view such, while the shirt is being worn, by a peep in a certain surrounding, where a form of etiquette is required

I myself would wear it any way, but I am thinking about what other's may have on their mind, this has been brought to my attention all ready as I am making up this post, so it's just a suggestion

Also, as Chuck had stated in 1 of his post's earlier in the other thread of SKUNKER's, as a option if possible Quote By Chuck : It would be nice to get one with the colors we had here....we shall se Un-Quote

I have to agree with him on that as well

The above are just my thought's for what they are worth

Thank You

bdaski...

02-02-2006, 02:08 AM
OK noted!

I will make a bunch of them. Another slogan on the back could be:

"I do it for the game..." or

"Always one step ahead..."

IMAGES: Guys they need to be large! Like 8x8 inches at least. The bigger the better becuase I can shrink them with photoshop. Also they need to be crisp images. You can test by printing them on an ink printer to see if they look good. The one Skunk provided looks good but would be nice to have 1 more design.

Thanks all.

02-02-2006, 03:49 AM
Update: The logos above are good for golf shirts and as a small logo on the pocket of some shirts. Also mousepads, coffee mugs etc.

What I need now is the same skull & bones or similiar image but MUCH larger for t-shirts. here is the size needed: http://www.cafepress.com/content/help/img/templates/7_H_F.jpg

Vector images or PNG needed.

Again if you submit artwork email it to me at webmaster@dsstester.com. You will be rewarded. If not I will have to look at getting a professional to make the logo properly. I want the shirts to look as good as possible ;)

yes , i like the concept very much !
but if you read deeper into this thread you will
see that chip has taken ownership of this
very worthy project !! and i no longer am
involved other than commimg up with the
basic logo and concept for the project.

take a look at the link chip posted for the
merchandise he is advertising.( lots of stuff
even a thong LOL ):yes:

Hawk
02-06-2006, 04:36 PM
Yeah I saw the store and the stuff looks cool. I just got home yesterday so that was the first day that I saw the design the logos stuff. I know he said that he was going to put more logos on the stuff, and different ones. So I don't know if I was too late but either way I thought that people might like the design.

02-06-2006, 07:12 PM
MHawk...Send me the image as clean as you can in PSD format to webmaster@dsstester.com. I would love to use that design BUT I know cafepress will have a problem with the trademark infridngment on DN.

Send it to me anyways and I can see.

Hawk
02-06-2006, 07:44 PM
I have changed it slightly. The bottom red line isn't in the same place it was moved more to the right to make it look right with the new words one it. Also I beleive that DISH has changed their logo to just the red strip around the top. I just saw a tv commercial and thats all they had.

Hawk,

02-06-2006, 10:08 PM
I was just thinking that with the Pirate Network design that I did you could put the Pirate network on the front, and then on the back put DssTester.com in big letters. That way the front would look offical like an installers shirt. And then on the back would be the advertising. The onlt thing different would be the brought to you by DssTester.com. I would wear either one of them to school just to see what everone says.

Question for our Admin

Chip is it possible that you can make available to the male gender of this site a Peeter Heater in your store's product line ??

Summer heat is one thing that will be comin quick here in the prairie's, and even though I do not mind at all in having roasted nugget's 1 bit, due to the fact that they both are rugged big bugger's & can take the sun's UV ray's & heat very well, the shaft how ever is another thing to worry about

Heck, don't want the good old Alligator or Snake as we know it, getting sun burnt or heat stroke now do we :no:

Hell, if you want, you can even throw the logo smack dab on the middle of it as well

I figure if you think it's a good idea, you can then have it come in 5 different size's :unsure:

Extra Small : For the dude's with only 2 plus inch's to 4

Small : For the dude's with 4 to 6 inch's

Medium : For the dude's with 6 plus to 8 inch's

Large : For the dude's with 8 plus to 10 inch's

& Finally last but not least :

Extra large : For the dude's such as my self, and other's that are well endowed, and require extra room, keep in mind that this size will also require extra support with a heavy duty draw string, and the material has to be able to also breathe, we don't want it suffocating either

Now here's the up-side to my idea

1.) In all probability, you will be the only site on the net, to have such a niche in this market, especially where Dss Site's are concerned

2.) I can not speak for the rest of our other male member's here at this site, but you will make my Alligator a happy 1

3.) The woman may also find such a item not only quite amusing, but also very helpfull to them as well, just think about how many guy's out there that are actually sitting in front of their puter's at home, and neglecting their better half's by doing so too much, chit, and now that I think of it, you may even get more female's joining up the site as member's here as well, just due to the fact that you helped bring a smile back on their face and a zing back into their love life that was lost temporally due to the above

4.) Over all, I don't think that this item would cost you a fortune to produce at all, so it should bring you and the site a good profit back in return creating extra revenue, that is, if any one else out side of my self, actually order's it at all

5.) This item can be worn by the men every where in the sun, if the woman can let it all hang out, why not us

And " NO " I did not run out of my medication today at all :D

The above is just a thought I had

So what do you think ????

Thank You

Now getting back to your original above question, the answer is in post # 31 of this thread, but here it is again for you

How ever, you just might be the best customer that DssTester would ever have for the above mentioned herein item :yes:

Chit I hope the big guy goes for this 1, heck, we can fill up all of the dispenser's in the washroom, and be completely sold out of them within a few hour's while on Ripper Happy Hour :beer: :beer:

Would be nice if a little flashing light can be installed on the end of the tunnel as well

Yeah, the idea of having words written on the shaft part of the weenie warmer is good. But some of you guys would only show DSS T and then would run out of length to advertise.
I'm talking full-length here!
I have a tattoo on my unit that reads L-I-T-T-L-E then a big black rectangle.
Pretty funny, right?
But, when that sucker gets hard, you can keep reading ...
when all is said and done, it reads:

What's a sweatshirt?

Chuck a sweatshirt is a heavier type of garment

Just like a tee shirt but with full sleeve's and heavier fabric

The good one's are made out of 100 % cotton, and can come with or with out a fleese lining

Now if it has a attached hood on it, that is also know as a hoody, a sweatshirt with a hood & not a woody :yes: :p :D

Hope that answer's your above question

Yes, very nice to wear a turtle neck shirt under 1 of them around the lake at night as well, when it is a tad bit nippy, or even on the boat, in the evening when you are out on the water

I love to cruise on the water at the lake in the evening, when I get a chance too

I think, creating the merchandise store to help offset the cost of the site, is a great idea. Don't know about getting any thongs, but I did just order one of the black tshirts. I will probably order one of the Pirate ones, if and when they become available. Keep up the good work, hope all members will at least purchase something from the store. :wow:

Chip,
Great Stuff!!! The mugs are very nice, big and well make. The shirts are a good quality, and the baby clothes . . . too cute. I will keep ordering. Thanks for everything. Kc707
