Mug Design #4394

Open ThunderFrame opened 6 years ago

ThunderFrame commented 6 years ago

As per chat, I'm working on a 20oz mug design. Mockups below:

I've currently got this text on the back of the mug.

VB5, VB6 & VBA, 32/64-bit Support Active Open Source Project Code Inspections Unit Testing Static Code Analysis Smart Indenter Renaming and Refactoring Auto-Completion Code Metrics Todo Explorer Code Explorer & Virtual Folders Find Symbol RegEx Find/Replace RegEx Assistant Find All References/Implementations COM Type Library Analysis

And suggestions on edits are welcome.

Nice cup! Just thinking out some ideas related to this topic:

[ ] "Show me the duckl!" is using current design that Matt is considering or revert to ideal Thunderframes? Either way does achieve the results.
[ ] "Show me the features" list would this be based on the current version/iteration we are going or the total summary of what we can do now?

Touch of orange?

Looks nice, @retailcoder , but it might significantly increase the price doing 2-color printing...

@retailcoder you recently mentioned paying for some hosting. Picking up the mug design & selling them ~~may~~ would be a great way of raising some funds!

Since this was originally posted by @ThunderFrame, maybe a small "In memoriam" to him would be an appropriate addition.

And, since it's been more than a year since this was last touched, maybe double check the feature list to ensure it's complete (with the major features, at least) as of now.

I honestly don't think that a feature list on a mug is useful, the "old" mug design that was used for developer swag (monochrome, one-sided) feels more appropriate.

Generally swag is a complicated thing, because it has a lot of non-obvious cost. That starts with design of the swag, the next thing is shipping and inventory cost as well as economics of scale. All of this impacts the "net win" of swag in a way that usually implies it's generally not worth it to have swag to help with financing.

I'd buy one...

@Vogel612 to avoid the hidden costs of running a shop you can outsource it for slightly lower profits. In a case like this it's well worth the trade off to have someone handling printing and shipping for you.

I use Threadless. You can upload your logo and then print it on anything in their shop from t-shirts to cups.

How about the standard duck on one side and the ThunderDuck (maybe smaller) on the other side?

I'd buy one. It would feel as though I've made a contribution to the project in some way or another. (Yeah, yeah... testing is important, but it doesn't feel like much.)
