SnarkPit T-shirt

Why do we have to be limited to one design?

edit:

Why not have a snarkpit store? Mousepads, shirts, snarkpit water bottles? :cool:

And snarkpit thongs.

LOL. I think that is a picture of the famous hoax snark....or so someone says...I think....

It looks like a cockroach smushed into a croissant.

Its no hoax, its the snark nest model from the "high definition" pack that came with Blue Shift.

ahh....I was referring to the real life picture of a real-life snark someone took. Im sure you can find it in the forums here or at steam. the guy said he was a scientist and there was a real black mesa and crap like that :smile:

I would LOVE a snarkpit shirt.. BUT, I would much rather a small snark insignia around the heart with something simple but cool on the back. I don't really dig a big snark in the middel of the shirt.

Well, like I said, just a crappy mockup. My main point was that a wireframe t-shirt would be simply daft. :smile:

Well guys, as a graphic designer I'd be happy to make the final image/design once we've decided on an idea that works.

I am for the idea of having "The SnarkPit" on the back, centered, and having a small picture of the snark on the front, toward the left upper corner of the shirt.

Anyone else supports this design?

I think my girlfriend would find it quite funny seeing me in not just a thong, but one with a snark on :biggrin: ha!

The thing next to the topic button looks like a Xen pad which makes you fly in the air on HL1, not entirely sure though.

I already said what it was thursday, try reading next time :razz:

Lol..no one was wondering what it was...they just quoted too much text I think...they were just referring to the thong thing....I hope....

Sorry Reno. Was late night, so tired just got in. Had to walk for about 5 miles :sad:

:eek: DAMN, that must be virtually clear across that island you live on. :eek:

I'll see if I can put something together.

do you think that a picture of a snark model from mdl veiwer would violate

To be honest, I liked the original "Got leak?" Joke on the back :smile: I could say that atleast everyone in my school knows that I'm a mapper -- not that they know what mapping is :razz:

Thanks, it was my idea. But the majority of the Pit members seem to favor the wireframe idea, or just a picture of a snark. Should we conduct an official poll?

To be honest, most of these ideas can be implemented if we choose somewhere that will make them on demand.

And since they don't do any non-white clothing, yes Cafepress should be avoided. Copyright-wise, something wireframe should be fine- snarks can really only go ahead if we get permission to use them, or sell these shirts "secretly" as more of a fun thing than a commercial venture. Or, perhaps we can use that age-old excuse to break copyright, called "parody"? Such as a Snark with a Groucho Marx false nose/glasses/moustache on, now that would really confused people

OR, if someone from valve asks, we are just advertising for hl1. :biggrin:

Ureeka now I get the joke...

I'll ask around, I have a few friends who are intrested in starting a
shirt line and I may be able to get info from them or even start
something with them! That would be neat.

my cafepress shirt will be here soon so I can give you an idea of how good it is.

Personally, I'd rather have a hat. A nice black one with a snark on the front, nicely stitched, and the www.snarkpit.net on the back.

Now yer fartin with corn!

I can imagin that would cost ALOT.

I couldn't come up with any clever slogans... so I just dropped the URL in with a little snark.



The URL could also wrap around the left sleeve if you wanted to make room for an actual slogan.

And, if you count Lep's user registration as Day 1, then this place has been around since August 20, 2001.

ID BUY ONE OF THESE FER SURE!

yeah! I'd wear it.

I should talk to my aunt about this, she has been in the NY,NY 'fashon' circut...

though right now she makes doggie clothes.

I'm sure my dog would be happier to wear a URL in public than me Is there anywhere we can get hats/shirts/mousemats made either on demand or for a bulk number, then?

I have not used them yet, but they maybe your answer..

Gosh dang it....the only reason I keep reading this thread every time there is a new post is to see if the shirt is available yet! Stupid teases!

I would pay anything for this
shirt. Just remove the snark and name your price. Oh man I want
one so bad. Nice Idea Dark Tree!

But it isn't aligned to the grid.

Can someone do the Snark in a Map Grid? Maybe look for the Snark in the model viewer and then use the frame instead of the skin texture.. and then use that as a logo big on the back.. Building Worlds one line at a time could be along the bottom of that, and then use the Snark Pit logo like it is here on the web page on the left chest area, above a pocket or on the pocket.

Anyone else think those snark mugs would be pwnage ;x?

Nothing like drinking your morning coffee with a lovely snark.

I made a mug with a snark on my cafepress site, I dont know about the
quality... if they shirt I got is any good I'd guess the mug would be
fine.

Ok Here is a Webpage I made with the Shirt Idea I came up with.. Let me know what you think.. I could not find the graphic like that up in the top right corner to use for the back or the font used to spell out The Snarkpit.. So I did the best I could with what I had.

http://thepryde.com/snarks.htm

I think the picture on the back of the shirt should blend, not just be a box.

I LOVE that front of the t-shirt. People who want snarks would be happy. people who want wireframe would be happy. I love it.

Except the font on the back I don't like....and I would like more of an abstract photo instead of something recognizable....if that makes sense.

The front looks beautiful though...good placement and everything :smile:

THAT'S A HEADCRAB YOU FOOL!! :biggrin:

Though it does give me an idea for something.........

I knew that felt wrong when I typed it....

It's really cool how that thing is wireframe... but isn't that one of
the poison baby headcrabs that drops out of the Gonarch from the first
game?

I really like the front as well. Great design. I imagine the back would be pretty expensive to do?

I know its a Headcrab.. I dont have a Snark model to use in the model viewer to make it wireframe. =(

Please Share your idea..

Also The Back image was just something to use, because I could not find a good wire frame map to use.. I wanted to use the one in the header here but its way to small.

One of the reasons I asked about when the Snarkpit came into being was I wanted to add at the bottom of the back one of two quotes.

1: Creating Worlds since 2001

2: Supporting the Mapping Community since 2001
And it was just an idea to help get the juices flowing and in hope that a shirt design is settled on so we can get them and geek out by wearing them, rolling our mice across the mouse pads, and covering our balding heads with the hats..

I would make the image myself but its too late and i realy cant be
bofred atm, but anyone thought of using trusty old KoRnFlakes:

I got my headcrabs from Snarkpit.

Email gabe to see if we can claim some rights for usage of the "Snark"...

...or wait... Hasn't snarkpit been around for 7 years now? That means we get squatters rights of the snark for sure!

C'mon folks. Lets not let this idea die. I KNOW some of you want this to happen!
