Barbelith starts talking about something..I get an Ideal...my day is spent working on it! Damn you all!!!

I think you should just have the Jenny Was Right logo, without the elipses. The rest of it is too much. The less there, the better.

Hieronymus

Ha! That's fantastic. How much?

Saint Keggers

00:07 / 17.09.03

I havent a clue. If you're serious I can look into getting some printed up. Hopefully I can get black on red or red on black. Let me know...

Persephone

02:59 / 17.09.03

Oh, that's awesome. I think Flux is right. I'd want just the left-side image, without the ellipses. Although "Jenny Everywear" is frickin' brilliant.

If you don't print these up, can I have the image for QG? I'm thinking a red square or rectangle that could be ironed on a regular t-shirt. It's not as good as a red t-shirt, but it would still look pretty cool.

What ellipses? Do you mean the goggles???

lentil

If they do mean the goggles then they are WRONG. But right about the other bits.

Matthew Fluxington

10:50 / 17.09.03

To be clear, the ellipsis are in bold:

Jenny Was Right..

It would just be better like this:

Jenny Was Right

I just hit Post Reply to shout that I know the difference between a goggle and an ellipse... and I just saw the topic abstract, the right-hand side is the baaa-aaack. LOL, sorry! Low blood sugar!

Totally cool logo on the front!

I too agree w/ Flux tho.

lentil

14:14 / 17.09.03

Ah, now it makes sense. I blame it on the division by common language.

Saint Keggers

14:24 / 17.09.03

Ok, now I gets it. It must be a language thing. Around here we call them dot dot dots.

The Ellipses were to illustrate that it continued on the back.

And for some reason the right hand side if the Jenny Everwear logo is chopped off on my screen. You can see it by doing aview image...Ts not all that impresive though..

FinderWolf

I agree with Flux - kill the "dot dot dot" (I don't think it needs any punctuation), and for me personally, I'd say get rid of the text on the back (the "and up and down and left, etc."). Even if you knew Jenny, it's too busy and confusing. If you really want text on the back, maybe start up with a new idea from scratch? How about "Trans-dimensional no fear" to play off the old 'no fear' concept? Naww, even after I suggest it I don't like it - it doesn't roll of the tongue. Maybe some kind of play on some corporate slogan though like Nike's "just do it". Or something else cool. There's a good idea in there somewhere waiting to come out.

How about "The Shifter Takes Over in 2003"? Something using her 'shifter' name would be cool. "Shifting gears in 2003?" "Shifting into your world in 2003"?

But I love the Jenny EveryWear idea, name and logo!!! Nice work! this is pretty awesome.

FinderWolf

16:45 / 17.09.03

How about "It's Jenny's World...We Just Live In It"?

Or:

"2003: The Year of the Shifter"

"Just shift it"

"Happy shifting"

and the obvious but amusing...wait for it...

"Shift happens"

I don't think there needs to be anything on the back. I think t-shirts look much better when the image design is minimal, I've never liked t-shirts with designs on the front and back. Keeping the one simple image on the front is more graceful, and it'd be cheaper/easier to produce, too.

Panic

22:25 / 21.09.03

I'd gladly pay a reasonable sum for that shirt. Regardless of what's on the back as I wear teeshirts under flannel or Hawaiian shirts.

That front design is sweeeeet though. Great work.

Listen to Flux, he knows things.

FinderWolf

13:30 / 22.09.03

I agree -- I don't think any text on the back is needed either, really (my earlier posts were like 'um, if you really want text on the back, here are some random suggestions...'). The shirts stands fine with just the front bit and the JennyEveryWear logo (maybe that logo could be on the back in a small and unassuming way).

Saint Keggers

14:08 / 22.09.03

Yeah I starting to agree too. Although I was thinking something along the lines of a concert shirt:
JENNY EVERYWHERE
The Shifter Trans-Reality Tour
2003

Let me know what you think...
Im looking into prices for red shits a black ones.
If they're low cost enough I think I can just airbrush them.

Just to drop my notion, acceptable or no: "Jenny is Everywhere", or if you feel like promoting a dead Jenny Everywhere, "Jenny was Everywhere".

> The Shifter Trans-Reality Tour

Looks too much like The Shitter Trans-Reality Tour

We'd be the only ones who got the "Jenny was right" thing. We're geeks, remember. How is this Jenny Everywhere?

FinderWolf

15:30 / 29.09.03

I think "Jenny Everywhere" sounds cool as a phrase whether you're familiar with the character or not, if that's what you're concerned about. Just like "Doctor Who" would sound cool even if you never heard of the character before. Or "John Sublime"

But I agree with you that we'd be the only ones who got "Jenny was right." Did the Che Guevera t-shirt say "Che was right?" All the Che shirts I've seen just have his face and it says simply: CHE.

gravitybitch

00:30 / 30.09.03

Y'know, I'm not that fussy. The front design is too cool and I can live quite happily with the text on the back.

Personally, I don't wear red that well so I'll wait for the red-on-black design, prefer Jenny Everywhere to Jenny Everywear, and really like "Jenny Was Right" .

But that's just me.

Let me know who to send money to....

Saint Keggers

00:52 / 30.09.03

Ok..Ive sent the design to Persephone so it should go up on one of the sites. Its just the Jenny logo and the Jenny was right with www.jennyeverywhere.com repeated in reverse in a circle around the logo.
SO take it, print it. Enjoy it. I'll make my millions on the tech stocks before the markets crashes.

>> Personally, I don't wear red that well so I'll wait for the red-on-black design, prefer Jenny Everywhere to Jenny Everywear

Well, the "wear" is just a clever name for Jenny Everywhere's own line of clothes, "Jenny Everywear", like RoccaWear. But I see how people might think her *name* was Jenny Everywear if that's the only time her name appears on the shirt (other than the reversed website address on the circle in the front). But it's not like we're re-naming the character from Jenny Everywhere to Jenny Everywear.
