Heya all, I'm looking for a fun slogan or picture - something that makes people laugh. Like a t-shirt saying "ROCK IS DEAD (and paper killed it)" or one of the better xkcd comics ;-) Something for a sticker, poster or a t-shirt... Any ideas? /jos

Hmmm. So it should indeed be something openSUSE, but it doesn't have to have a super clear geeko relation - something general FOSS or even just 'IT' would be fine, if we can reasonably put a geeko below it and print it on a sticker or shirt :D I'm not promising anything but I've been thinking we need more FUN t-shirts... But I'm, while crazy, not particularly funny so I have a hard time coming up with something :D /Jos

Hm, still depends on what you define as "fun". What about using some quotes of Linus Torvalds, RMS or other famous FLOSS developers? BTW, another topic I guess, but what about a memorial t-shirt for Dennis Ritchie? If Ritchie wouldn't have been, we all would use anything but Linux... hope this helps, --kdl

leave out the "openSUSE" so that people have to think about it. So they'll keep openSUSE in mind. thanks, --kdl -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-marketing+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-marketing+owner@opensuse.org

I love the fact that we have our own beer label and I talk about it often to others. (Bragging rights and all.) But, there's a limited reach since we don't currently have funds to purchase/ship the beer globally to events, and in some countries, especially US, we really can't distribute beer at events without jumping through legal hurdles. It might however be still a good idea to have such a phrase, but targeted regionally. openSUSE beer is becoming well known in EU so thus creating shirts or stickers for EU region would be effective.

people do not have to think we *really* have an openSUSE beer, if they think it's a joke, so good :-). The day they learn the truth will be even better :-) jdd -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-marketing+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-marketing+owner@opensuse.org

Yes, they are a tad old... It would be better to have something fresh. But Geeky is absolutely OK imho.

Yes, they are a tad old... It would be better to have something fresh. But Geeky is absolutely OK imho. I also like "Without geometry, life is pointless" quite a bit, not sure how to add a geeko to that one however.

openS.U.S.E. and the geometry forms of the old SUSE boxes relate to that perfectly. But maybe too insider'ish...

Well, a chameleon, or a ge(e)(c)ko is an extremly flexible animal. If the licenses allows it, I'd suggest to modify the openSUSE logo and create different versions of it, one with a party hat, one with, maybe glasses, one with... what ever comes to your mind. Then, you add a link to SUSE Studio to the shirt and add some lines like: "We take our logos serious" "It's not just the gecko, who's that flexible" "We got it all" People wonder and think about it, visit susestudio.com, visit opensuse.org and maybe use openSUSE _and_ maybe donate money to our foundation in future. -- Kim Leyendecker, openSUSE Wiki Team GPG Key: 664265369547B825 | leyendecker@opensuse.org http://www.opensuse.org - Linux for open minds -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-marketing+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-marketing+owner@opensuse.org

Hmmm, I actually think its fine. The relationship to openSUSE doesn't have to be 100% obvious I'd say. Maybe someone can come up with a funny picture or design around the "without geometry, life is pointless" - be sure to write the i's without dot ;-) openSUSE doesn't have to be prominent as it only makes sense for a Geeko (if at all) anyway. Then there is the "I commit to openSUSE" which I think is a nice pun on the two meanings of commit. I think that's a fine t-shirt too and the design is OK, just a bit too busy. I'd remove the logo, write 'openSUSE' in the same font as the rest - and be done with it :D The back of both t-shirts could be the same - the lizzard tail. Then, I'd say we need at least a third... anyone any more suggestions? I do like the idea by Kim of doing some funny geeko pictures and some slogans... But it needs some artwork-creativity by somebody.

Heya all,

I'm looking for a fun slogan or picture - something that makes people laugh. Like a t-shirt saying "ROCK IS DEAD (and paper killed it)" or one of the better xkcd comics ;-)

Something for a sticker, poster or a t-shirt...

Any ideas?

How should it be? I mean, I'd call dark humor as fun and funny, but others do not and understand it wrong. So, should it be something general something or can it include dark humor, british humor and sarcasm/irony? hth and have fun, --kdl -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-marketing+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-marketing+owner@opensuse.org
