Pentax T-shirt?

[darrrrrrrrrr]

I was a bit bored tonight so I came up with this.



Couldn't think of a catchphrase but the last line from the official T-shirt sounded nice. Welcoming yet with a hint of sarcasm directed at you-know-who..

Not sure if it would work on a T-shirt, what do you guys think? Would like some opinions on the design and whether you all are interested in getting a T-shirt done

As a side note, I think it looks quite spiffy as a car windscreen decal

wooo.. looks nice, and sounds gd to me. although im bad wif catchphrases, so no comments on that.. haha. i will be so proud to wear that...

[darrrrrrrrrr]

May I add that the design was based on a K20D since it's our current flagship, although I tried to leave only the bare essence (such as the SR logo, DOF/power switch, the single dial and some of the sculpting) so those using the other models won't feel too left out!

As for the lens, I kept it generic because I couldn't decide which lens to feature with more than 24 million compatible lenses! If anyone would like to suggest any lens (FA*, DA* FA Ltd, DA Ltd, 50/1.4, SMC PENTAX-A 1:1.2 50Mm, or even the humble kit lens) you're more than welcome to

Erm, I make a living as a writer (copywriting and editing), so I guess I should chip in. :P

All for it!

I'll leave out the "Hey" though.. rest is good to go!

[aosis]

i have a friend who designs and prints t-shirts. if you guys are really interested in getting it, i can ask him to help out.

Nice... but i prefer just as simple black polo T with the red pentax word on the left chest and 2 smaller ones on each sleeves...

keep it simple... no point getting negative comments from "photography snobs"

anyway if really doing it, count me in, but can i design my own phrase ? and would prefer a good quality polo T instead of T shirt, dun mind paying more...

I'm in, do a poll?

Mmm. I think bulk order requires minimal no. of tees to be printed with the SAME design/copy. Not sure if it's economic to have a different wording for each tee. :P

The simple "Pentaxian" red-on-black is another good idea, but is it same as official tee? I saw some of the chaps wearing that in the last group outing shot - where to get from??

I wonder will there be any infringement of copyright if we use the Pentax logo? Min order of 25 pcs can be done.

I come out with a basic layout using a black polo-t shirt pic I found on the net.

[darrrrrrrrrr]

I personally have something against that red square logo

[longko]

IIRC, by right we can't use Pentax logo. Does Shriro makes Pentax tees for roadshows or PC show? Maybe can ask them help us make those.

Edit: I'll love to buy 2 for Aug SKC show^^

[adiknaim]

hw about juz the red PENTAX logo? oso cannot?

[darrrrrrrrrr]

[woonsin]

Hi Darrrrr,

If mass order of tee-shirt, count me in but I prefer nylon shirt (like silker and cooler) rather than 100%cotton (too bit warmer) due to humid all season in Singapore. What do you think?

[felixcat8888]

I'm all for the t-shirts too. Maybe can get those dri-fir type. It is cooler and dries faster after you perspire too. Preference for collared T.

Perhaps a white version with the logo reversed out?

Why not play around with some catchy taglines/slogans:

for your precious moments (which is Pentax's official tagline)
SR- Why I don't get the shakes anymore...
See to believe...
Creativity redefined
All that you'll ever want. Or need, actually.
Rediscover the creative genius in you...

Also good to include the web address: PENTAXSLR.COM

Just some thoughts to add.

As for plain and simple design idea with just "Pentax" and red on black accents, it appeals too; I like simplicity. BUT it smacks too closely of being an official and corporate-like Pentax tee - like what a Pentax salesman at IT show - I imagine - would wear.

So I'll aye darrrrrrr (how many r's, man?)'s design instead.

Yup, will prefer dri-fit or other material suitable for our climate too.

Would have been cool to wear it during the recent A Very Special Walk Carnival!

Cheers!

Ideas:

1..
Pentaxian
Passion for photography

2..
Pentax
By photographers, for photographers

3..
I'm a Pentaxian
I'm a photographer

4..
Pentax
Photography

5..
Pentaxian
No snobs, only photographers

Can play with the colours, font sizes, layout too.. but this is not my area of expertise. :P

[longko]

I like 4 but change the word photography to Pentaxian.
