And So to Beat a Dead Horse....

It sounds like people uniformly (get it?) prefer the left breast vs. the full chest logo. What do y'all think about resurecting the URL and putting it across the back below the Las Vegas Marathon text?

Personally, I think it should be under the RBF logo, otherwise there might be some confusion as to which group the URL belonged, RBF or the LVM. I think K-somethings idea of a couple dice and cards is pretty sweet.

i like dice/cards idea too. it'd be neat if shirt reflected the uniquity of las vegas.

also i vote against url cause it's gonna be too small i think for peopel to read or care about, but it sounds like i may be in minority here...

OK, Before I go through and tally up who votes for url and who doesn't I have one question. For the no voters would it make a difference if the url was shorter. I checked and we could register www.runningblogfamily.net and point it to the blog list for 3$. Right now I think the no votes are tallied at three and the yes vote at one but I want more feedback. Drew? Riona? Jeff? FR? Mark? Susan?

Commenting on my own blog... Is he that desperate?

Pasted in below is a message I just sent (hopefully) to the Blogfather. Basically, I'd like to get as many RBFers as possible to provide feedback on the shirt design before we go to press with it as the design could be reused for other future RBF attended events. I don't want to be a spammer and comment everywhere but I want to get the word out. Please consider sending readers of your own blogs over to join this conversation. Sing it out on high.

Thanks,
SD

Quoted message begins:

If you remember, several of us have been working on a design concept for a technical RBF shirt. We found a place online to order from. The first batch we order will be for those attending the Vegas Marathon and will have language to that effect printed on the back, but with that text missing or changed the design could be recycled for future RBF attended events. I hesitate to leave comments on other people's running blogs, asking them to go to my blog and participate in the design process because I don't want anyone to feel spammed but I'd like to get as wide of an input as possible. Can you help get the word out?

Thanks,
Scott Dennis

Cool design! I obviously don't stop by often enough because I didn't even know you were working on it.

I have to go look at it again before I offer an opinion...

About Me: said...

for some reason all this shirt excitement (and signing up for vegas) has lifted me from my blue-all-week mood.
i do like the idea of a shorter url...
i've posted the message you posted to yourself on my blog and i look forward to posters responding to your post ive' posted on my blog!
ps. fr is getting bighead from all the shoutouts here.

I actually prefer the full chest to just the left breast!

You are doing a great job. Cards and die might be cool...

Short URL is good.

I wish I was going...

I post, you post, we post, uh huh...

About Me: said...

actually, i like the full chest too. i meant to write that earlier and forgot. and flatman, it's never too late for vegas. even the night before, it's still not too late!
i'm divided on url. perhaps i'll just defer to ljisaak's wisdom...

OK, after much thought and head scratching:

Smaller logo on the breast

Shorter URL across the back

"Las Vegas 2005" on the FRONT, under the logo. This doesn't need to take up the large amount of space it does currently on the back of the shirt because we'll be wearing them at the event. I do want to be able to remember the event I got the shirt for, but it doesn't need to be that large in my opinion.

And, just to throw some more flames on the fire, if it were my choice, I'd leave off any dice or cards, etc.

About Me: said...

i'm finally home where i can look at the shirt to my heart's content. i like the short url under rbf. i like both the full chest and corner shirt design (i like bigger better but really i like them both). i like las vegas 2005 in big boldness all over the back as well as dice or playing cards. i mean, i've said it before but i'll say it again, it's vegas. and if you can't do BIG for vegas, where can you do it? oh a pal also suggested a running card which i think would be fun! but that sounds like a bit corny for this crowd?
and susan, no, opinions most welcome, appreciated and sought!

Hello Partyrunner's Little Sister,

I'm still alive and running. I'm just taking a little break from blogging while I'm also taking a break from working. I'll put my other posts back up and start blogging again next week.
