Potential shirt / promotional designs

Shirt and Other Promotional Designs

This area is for kicking around ideas for shirt slogans, bumper stickers and all that type of promotional material. Each entry has a section for comments, so comment! If you have a new idea, add it at the bottom and give people a chance to feed back.

Please also contribute to the Resources for Designs page if you have shareable artwork, icons, ORG logos, etc.

Logo and Badges

First things first. Making high-resolution artwork for the Logo (top left of this page) and badges (on the badges page) available would allow ORG or ORG members to set up a Cafe Press shop immediately, and start leveraging the brand. Many people will have seen the ORG logos in the latest series of "The IT Crowd", and it would be good to strike while the iron is hot.

Oh, and apologies for using "leverage" as a verb. - Sean Ellis 2007-10-16

And yea, it came to pass. - Sean Ellis 2007-10-18 http://openrightsgroup.spreadshirt.net/-/-/Shop/

Although, I notice that there is no permanent link to this from the front page. I would suggest that it is added to the "badges" page, or given its own tab in the navbar. Seantellis 13:09, 31 October 2007 (UTC)

"Lost Battles"

    2003:
    Post office authorised to bug your phone
    Viewing DVDs on a computer classified as piracy

    2004:
    Something
    Something

    2005:
    Councils authorised to follow you via mobile phone records
    EU decides businesses can legally monopolise mathematics

    How many more reasons do you need?

(we'd need a simple URL registered, something like www.orgshirt.org?)

Things this design needs:

• Two more "Horror story" entries for 2004 (well done 2005 contributors! I've removed the Civil Contingencies Act for 2004 as it seemed outside ORG fields...)
• An actual design! Any design people want to turn this into a graphical solution?

Comments:

Personally, I've given it some thought and I think something more like "Next time we'll be ready", or along those lines, would bring a more positive note out of the idea. Just my feelings. Mark

Regarding lost battle stories for 2004 you could think about:

The big loss for 2004 has to be the passing of the Children Act 2004

In May 2004 the EU Commission approved the transfers of EU airline passenger data (‘PNR’) to the US Dept of Homeland Security. The process was held to be illegal in 2006 but is happening again

UK High Court ordered ISPs to hand over customer details (of people suspected of copyright infringement via P2P networks) to the BPI

Autumn 2004 'Project Semaphore' launched - the UK's version of CAPPS II (now Secure Flight) passenger screening system

Dec 2004 UK cabinet office ordered the deletion of emails older than three months, just before FOI laws were to come into force

There were thousands of other interesting stories but not necessarily in the UK lost battles category e.g. the INDUCE Act proposals in the US, the software patent ping pong between the EU Council of Ministers and the EU Parliament, the IFPI suing alleged P2P copyright infringers, Cliff Richard's initial mumblings about copyright extension, self destructing DVDs, Alex Haldermann's discovery of the shift key circumvention technique for SunnComm's new and improved DRM etc. etc.

Comments:

• Jon Grant: I don't think highlighting Apple's iTunes would take us anywhere, "Legalise home music use!" would be cooler, and more fitting!

"My Digital Rights"

    "My DIGITAL
        RIGHTS don't need
        MANAGEMENT"

Comments:

Here is something I mocked up this morning. Comments appreciated. I have an svg version as well so resizing isn't an issue(except for the logo. Any chance of getting an svg/psd version?)

T-shirt Design(Image off site - Uploading is disabled) -Jamie

That looks good to me, but I think the letters DRM should be more differentiated from the rest of the text on the shirt. I would make them slightly larger and perhaps try inverting the colors, or giving them a stroke outline or something. -- random visitor who is considering getting involved.

Comments:

• I think most "normal people" (ie non-geeks) won't get this. Too techy, imho. — OwenBlacker 19:12, 5 January 2007 (GMT)

"fcuk cctv - isn't surveillance fashionable!"

• Simple lettering, but it has to be on the back of a hoodie.

Comments: Is 'fcuk' a registered trademark?

Yes it is.

--Glyn 22:58, 6 January 2007 (GMT)

use fukc instead then.

How just saying what you mean? (Oh, how ironic that an anti-censorship group would block posts based on a wordfilter with a list of 'bad words'. Your admins are hypocrites.

"don't censor my bits"

Potential campaign t-shirt against web censorship eg [1]

How about a pixelised man or woman with blurred sensitive regions and the slogan?
