Re: [Gimp-developer] GIMP T-shirts in our online store
Voting is over, and in the end our last design was the winner. Results: http://www.freewear.org/?contest=gimp The other designs were also nice, so if our Gimp T-shirts are successful, we will probably introduce them in our catalog, and of course, we will provide proper credit to the original design author and award him as if he won the contest. For now, we have the first T-shirt almost ready to be uploaded. What we need now is to talk with some Gimp administrator to make sure a link can be placed on http://www.gimp.org/about/merchandise.html. Does anyone know who I could contact for this?

Our artist gave it a try: http://www.freewear.org/images/release_candidates/gimp_base.png http://www.freewear.org/images/release_candidates/gimp_base.svg Anyway we've been talking about it and we think you guys could do it better. How about a little competition? If you're willing, we can setup a competition so you can send me your designs to my email or to this list. Then I'd setup a little poll to vote for the best designs, and the winner design would get sold at Freewear. Rewards for the winner: two free T-shirts (one with his design, and another one (s)he likes from our catalog), and a special mention in the T-shirt page with a link to his blog/gallery/portfolio if he wants. The design constraints are imposed by the screen-printing technique: 3 colors per design (we could print more, but we'd rather avoid it as the T-shirt would be more expensive: a 2 or 3 colors T-shirt is 16€ and a 4 colors one is 18€), no gradients, no too small details. If we have to tune the winner design to make it printable we'll contact with the designer. We'd like to have the T-shirt ready for Christmas, so the deadlines would be: Design: from yesterday to November the 22nd Poll: from the 33rd to the 30th. Then, we'd see if the winning design needs some tunning, and then we'd publish and print it. Hope you like the idea, we're open to suggestions.

The wording suggests you will decide what you "donate". Usually we formally ask for permission to use the names and logos for our T-shirts, but in this case I've interpreted in http://gimp.org/about/merchandise.html that permission is implicit, and contact is appreciated: >If you intend to produce and sell GIMP-related merchandise >such as tee-shirts, pins or other gadets, we would appreciate >being contacted before you create any modified version of >artwork featured on this site such as Wilber, the GIMP mascot.

We try to be egalitarian with all the organizations, and not to pay one of them more than to the others, if we have the same kind of agreement. That's why we tell every organization to donate them 3€ per T-shirt if they are willing to link our website from their website (like most of our customers do), and to donate them what we can/want if they don't (like Debian). Anyway, we're always open to negotiation. > I would think anyone paying $14 may imagine they are donating the > profit on the sale to the project. > > It seems like the $3 is a sales donation for a direct link leading to a > sale. Do you also make a donation if a Gimp referal leads to you selling > a Ubuntu shirt ? How is all this followed. It is not followed. I think it would be an overkill. What would be correct, to pay the organization only if the T-shirt is bought after having followed the link from the organization's website? I think that would be wrong on many levels, better to keep it simple. > I am not a member of the gimp team but I think you owe a bit more > clarity and respect to those who's FREE work and brand prestige you wish > to cash in on. And we totally respect their work and effort. So far, the deal I've proposed for the Gimp is exactly the same deal we've proposed to all the other organizations we work with, and so far they've considered it fair. It doesn't imply any risk for them (only for us, if the T-shirts are not sold we lose money), except for a bad design that gives bad publicity (and that's why we always make sure each design is okay before selling it) and it gives them the possibility for some income, besides the merchan

Did I miss part of this discussion or is this what you regard as asking for permission to use the name and logo for some arbitrary unspecified sum? The wording suggests you will decide what you "donate". Maybe this permission was sought elsewhere. My apologies if that's the case. Not that you've spent a lot of time on the design but shouldn't this start with saying you have customers willing to pay $14 and how much would the project team accept for your profiting from their name and hard work? I would think anyone paying $14 may imagine they are donating the profit on the sale to the project. It seems like the $3 is a sales donation for a direct link leading to a sale. Do you also make a donation if a Gimp referal leads to you selling a Ubuntu shirt ? How is all this followed.

Once we chose a model, I guess we can have them ready in a week or two. I'll announce them in this thread. ___ Gimp-developer mailing list Gimp-developer@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-developer

[Gimp-developer] GIMP T-shirts in our online store
Greetings, We are FreeWear.org, we print and sell t-shirts with FOSS designs (Linux distros, desktops environments, etc) and donate to each organization a percentage of each sold article. We usually sell via website, but we can also be found in local FOSS-related events. We also cover special orders, like commemorative t-shirts for events. We've been conducting a poll about which T-shirts our customers want, and looks like GIMP is the most popular one (besides Ubuntu), so we'd like to improve our catalog with some GIMP stuff. We've taken the liberty of making some simple designs based on Wilber: http://www.freewear.org/images/release_candidates/propuesta_gimp.png There are some possibilities that look cool, and we would love to have some feedback on which design (A, B, C or D) and tee color (white or black) look best to you. Also, is the font okay? Is there any better font available out there for a GIMP logo? We'd be happy to know what you think :) About donations: With other organizations like Gnome or KDE, we've agreed that they link our website from theirs and we donate 3€ for each sold 14€ t-shirt. If you don't want to place a link, you'd still receive some donation to thank you for letting us use your logo and name, but no fixed amount. You can find our website in http://www.freewear.org/ Regards, Ismael Barros ___ Gimp-developer mailing list Gimp-developer@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-developer
