uuhhh usually I do not revive old freds but this one sound very interesting......
I am very interesting in such a shirt zeke I guess you made it yourself from some kind of image or so maybe you can post the picture so we can all download it and make us a t-shirt ourselves btw: I think it is not illegal if you only get paid for the costs you had making this shirt and sending it around..... maybe we can chose a picture that everyone in this forum agrees on and then post it to download or so... just a thought :wink:

It's funny you should bring this up, daniel (and don't worry about thread necromancy -- it's okay when you have something relevant to say). See, right now I'm having severe money problems, and I've been wondering if it's finally time to try and get some extra income from this site, at least for a while. I could just post my PayPal button, but I wouldn't feel right taking "charity"; I'd much rather be a vendor than a beggar. So I've been giving serious thought to finally getting that T-shirt thing off the ground.
What I'm going to do is find out what it would take to set that up on my own, without going through CafePress (they take such a massive cut of the profits that I would have to charge through the roof to make anything substantial). If it looks like a realistic possibility, I'll run a poll on what products you guys would be up for, and make some sample images for your consideration. The images will take some careful design, since I can't use anything trademarked by Paramount -- fair use only protects stuff I don't make money from. The clock logo is all mine and represents the site nicely, so it'll probably be the centerpiece of these designs. In the meantime, why don't we use this thread for brainstorming? The more I hear from you guys about this, the better I'll be able to judge how to do it. Ideas? Suggestions? Pie?

I probably mentioned this at some point before, but yeah, CafePress apparently doesn't do apparel very well anyway :?.
Unfortunately I don't have any online money account for the foreseeable future  , but if I did, I think I'd be more interested in getting a mug or something than a T-shirt.:idea: Oh, what about a small book or something of the sort? It could be a textual version of the spiffified DVDs you were going to release according to one of the TJIs . No, wait, that would probably violate--well, would it violate "fair use"? I don't know...:? Well, it could also be other "original" new material or something. Hmmm...[edit]Ooo, "pie"? There you go, a 5MV cookbook! :lol: Fifteen pie recipes and four chili recipes...all vegetarian, hopefully. :shock:

A group I've been involved with does business with this company. Apparently they're about the cheapest the group can find. I don't know if they have a minimum order requirement or anything--if they do, it's no more than 3 digits--but in my experience their books stay in one piece, even if the image reproduction on the inside pages isn't so hot.

What if we used Pointy's "The fivers must flow" banner?
Or, what if we made a collage of all the E-trektion banners?

Hey, a book would be cool! If you coulnd't put any of the fivers in it though, I'm not sure there would be enough "other" material to justify it.
How about t-shirts with excerpts from fivers on them? And just as a random thought - my 'fivers' banner would make a nice bookmark.

Some years ago, there was a book published that purported to illustrate the way to have effective leadership using Captain Picard as an example, right? I think it was titled "Make It So" or something...:?
Anyway, Zeke could dash off a short booklet detailing the pitfalls and tricks to effective time management. It could be titled "Make It Soon".

Ooo! How's about a large 5MV clock, with voyager flying from the centre central, other ship/craft representing other programmes/films fived flying out surrounding it? With something like more popular than the celestial home-care omnibus underneath in italics on a black background?

"Live long, and eat pie"?

Valium, I think you misunderstood part of my post. I can't use anything Paramount holds a copyright on -- that includes all the Trek ships, and the likenesses of characters such as Spock.

Personaly. I think just a simple t-shirt with a small version of the clock logo on the breast and the website on the back would be good. It's a simple image so it would be easy to reproduce.
The best thing about t-shirts is that you can identify people. Imagine walking down the raod and suddenly you see someone wearing a 5MV t-shirt. I would definately buy one! One thing though, if you do make t-shirts you should do fitted ladys ones as well as the classic t-shape.

What about the 5MV clock with Five Minute Voyager on it?
and maybe; under it; daniel's "I am a dsokdpache" idea? And on the back: the site's URL and under it the 5MV logo, like JD suggested, (providing Trek isn't copywrited)? And what about sweat-shirts and sweaters?
