A new poster idea for HBT

[Yuri_Rage]

Is it time for a poll to nail down the final design?

Where does Apfelwein fit on here?

I know, I know, Apfelwein isn't beer.


Can BMC drinkers even read?

haha. well, i'm sure most of us were BMC drinkers at one point. At least for a little while. But who knows maybe we've been enlightened since then and learned how to read

I drank Labbatt's. Just as bad but technically isn't in the acronym.

 

[Sir Humpsalot]

Let's be fair.

There's Munich Helles and Pilsners, which are legit styles. Let's move the little circle about a half an inch to the left... because BMC isn't TOTALLY colorless.

Also, by moving the circle a little, we can get "water" out of the magnifying glass and, instead, place it at the far right as if the "0" on the X axis.

I thought I'd bump this if people are talking about "nailing down a final design"... I thought it might get lost a page back...

 

[Yuri_Rage]

Sir Humps, I kinda like the comedic value of putting BMC right in the corner. But I'm aiming to please, so here's what your idea looks like.

Also, I changed the spelling of palette, just to see what it looks like.

I think I'm gonna start a poll to get this finalized.

 

[Denny's Evil Concoctions]

I wish there was a way to show flavor on this rather than just color. I true pilsner isn't going to show up much different than the American lagers.

By moving the mag glass to the left you have now lost some of the impact of what you are trying to convey.

 

[Yuri_Rage]

I agree with you, Denny. I like the circle in the corner. There's a poll now. Go vote!

EDIT: You can click the link now...

Here's the poll thread link since Yuri didn't post that here:

Yuri... I'm coming around to your way of thinking....

What about Denny's "more flavor, less flavor" arrows?

Maybe even make the spectrum taller to make the "more flavor, less flavor" more dramatic.

I'm just thinking out loud here... (and trying to keep you busy. )

 

[Yuri_Rage]

I see merit to the flavor scale, but I also think it's going to make the design a bit busy. Though color and flavor can be very independent, the visual impact works to get the point across. I'll give the idea a shot a little later and see if I can make it look nice.

So far, the poll's in a dead heat for nearly every design aspect. Hopefully it draws some more attention.

If there's overwhelming support for the FYB tagline, I'll e-mail Stone with a sample image and see if they mind us borrowing it.

 

[Denny's Evil Concoctions]

I've seen that line, or a variation of, used for many years on various shirts. Pretty sure they didn't come up with it.

Do it dot jpg.

They might say "We don't own that" and they might say "We don't care" and they might say "Whoa thats cool, how much for 50 T shirts".

But if you don't ask...

 

[Yuri_Rage]

E-mail sent! I was very polite.

 

[Yuri_Rage]

I just got a response from Stone. They love the Beer Spectrum humor and might be willing to let us use their tag line. My e-mail is now in the CEO's inbox for final approval! Because the shirt could be construed as somewhat derogatory toward other breweries, I won't be too surprised if we get shot down...more to follow!

If he doesn't get back to you, I'll beermail him on Beeradvocate. He has always answered me on there...

I'm on the page for ordering the tshirt right now. I'm guessing its not a good idea to order the shirt in any color other than white? I'll order white, I just know I'll be staining it at some point...

 

[Yuri_Rage]

I just noticed that there are some transparency issues with the HBT logo if you order in a color other than white. I'll fix that in the next 15 mins. I doubt the shirt would look good in a bright/pastel color, but any of the neutral colors should be fine.

EDIT: The settings appear to be correct. The logo should print with white "ink" rather than showing the shirt color through any white areas. I'm not sure if the more vibrant colored fabrics will adversely affect the print quality.

Ok thanks!

Is it odd that there's an infant onsie available?

 

[Yuri_Rage]

I spoke to the CEO about your desire to use the phrase “Fizzy Yellow Beer is for Wussies” on your snazzy T-shirts. He’s all for it. Be sure, however, to simply attribute the line to Arrogant Bastard Ale, rather than to Stone Brewing Co., as we like to keep the branding of the two entities separate. Best of luck to you. Oh…and send a file of the final mock up along if you can. We’d like to see it! Cheers!

Stay tuned! Another design is forthcoming!!!

I can't believe they're giving us the go-ahead!

 

[Yuri_Rage]

New design now available!

AWESOME!!!!!! THAT TOTALLY ROCKS!!!!!!!!!!

I wonder how well it looks shrunk down that small?

 

[Revvy]

If anyone puts it on a beer pint, I'm in!!!!

 

[Yuri_Rage]

Zazzle doesn't have pint glasses, but they do have frosted mugs.

 

[GloHoppa]

awesome!!!

 

[FSR402]

Man how did I miss this for so long?

I will need to order some of these in the next day or two.. :rockin:

 

[Dude]

This is awesome! Kudos to Stone for letting that happen...I am even a bigger fan now!

And....FWIW Yuri, Great work on the designs!

 

[Will b]

Wow. I just have to say we have way too much time on our hands

 

[TexLaw]

They are good folks, over there at Stone. Your idea, Yuri, is just the sort of thing that would get Greg Koch all fired up.
