Do we have a higher Resolution image of the OTP logo available? - it would improve the quality of the mug. Also, we can put our names on as well. Do we want all of our names on all the mugs or a personalized mug? All the names would be easier.

I have the image on my hard drive somewhere -- can't remember if that's the original size or not. I might be able to do a higher-resolution version.

Shouldn't we just put all member names on there, regardless of whether you are purchasing one or not? That way, if you change your mind a few months from now, you're on there. I would go for that - we send them one hi-res image with the logo and all our names (say with a floor of 50 posts or something like that)...

EDIT: On second thought, we probably shouldn't have a floor... canuckinboston only has 7 posts or something, and he's one of the first members...

I think you can eliminate everyone under Saddle Up.......with an option on Ice 33 and VHF for being on it and buDDYhoLLYonAciD being off of it.

Update. I created an account on Zazzle and I'm working on a Mug design. Once it's done, you can buy it directly from the website so there will be no hassles for me dealing with money or trans-shipping. If someone has a higher res image of the OTP graphic that would be great, if not don't worry I have an idea that will work with the smaller res as it exists. What would save some time though would be if someone could send me a text file with all the names on it (I could probably fit all 50 on a mug) but less would be easier - there must be a faster way to download them than me cutting and pasting each one from the members page. never mind... figured it out :zoid:

I can add this design to coffee cups, travel mugs, mouse pads - whatever we want. Then you you can pick out and buy whatever you like - it seems like a very flexible solution to a small group like ours.

I think a bigger font might be better:

Yes you can - I believe I just leave that option open in the final design and then when you buy it you can customize it with extra writing etc...

Bravo....a little larger font and we should be good to go......a nod to the architect may be in order. He's not a member of Gen 3...but without him......

I would recommend a stronger sans-serif font for the names, such as Gill Sans, rather than Times New Roman. You don't want to be smitten by the style gods.

Adding Cali isn't a problem. I'll play with the font and see if I can find something better. The design has to fit into a certain size which I'm pretty close to the limit of though it may not look like that from the picture so I might not be able to make the names that much bigger, but I'll play around with it. I'm pretty busy until the weekend, so I'll post the next changes then. Thanks for the input! :chef:

All done. I've fixed up the font, added Cali to the list and built an online store:

You can buy a mug here: http://www.zazzle.ca/captain_chaos

10% of the base price of any purchases will be donated to the upkeep of the OTP site - keeping the domain registered etc...

There are two steins available at the store - one has a smaller image than the other to allow space to put a custom text at the bottom of it. Lots of font and colour options for your custom text. I've left as many parameters open as possible.

Now, if you don't want a beer stein, both designs (with or without custom text) can be put on other coffee cups and beer mugs. I see 7 basic types several of which come in different sizes and colours. I'm kind of partial to the maroon two tone 15oz coffee mug myself.

Tonight I've ordered the beer stein without any additional text, I'll take some pics etc and post them when it arrives. :beer:

Oh damn, didn't know you could actually change it to fit all different kinds of mugs! That's awesome!

I think I'll buy a stein to ship to our ye olde Architect (he's in Germany after all), and a glass mug for myself.

CC you are the man! I have one concern however when I go to the site it doesn't 360 wrap so all the names will show right? Oh.....uh....I don't need proceeds for the domain name....that's my contribution. But Chuck upkeeps this site so he may appreciate it. I am sure it has far bigger costs associated than a yearly fee.
