on the back 'doesn't mean I'm omniscient. I ask on PressF1'.

47961 2002-05-10 05:38:00 How about no words as such - but ... the PCWorld logo over on the left where a pocket sometimes is and a really BIG F1 key picture with an even bigger finger pointing as though about to press it?? then that will get everyones curiosity and on the back you could have a witty explanation?

47962 2002-05-10 08:40:00 How about tapping into the F1 theme, literally? Have a good graphic on the front showing a formula one car, from an upper front diagonal view, with the sponsorship markings all PCWorld and the www address below.

Personally I think getting away from the geeky image would be good. The F1 (motorsport) is theme is often perceived as being sexy, macho, high tech, fast paced, glamorous etc - none of which would be bad comparisons to F1 online eh.

The shirt could be finished off with the url on a sleeve and on the back.

I recommend white text on a red shirt, or vica versa! Whatever colour shirt, the graphic should be on a background that best shows off the car's livery - ie F1's black, red and white theme.

Robo, if you'd like a sample image set up, I'll put my pencil to paper.

47964 2002-05-10 09:18:00 Greg.... no thanks. Don't even think about it.

No offence intended regarding your idea, but I would be PROUD to wear a geek teeshirt that I had won.

I would not want nor wear one with a car on it. Especially a car that is associated with being sexy, macho, high tech, fast paced and glamorous. Sorry.

Gee, I dunno how Robo thinks he's going to please all of the people all of the time! LOL

47965 2002-05-10 10:25:00 How about...on the front..

CLICK on Me!


then the pressF1 url further down.


Yes, black..white is too unflattering, red fades too quickly.

47967 2002-05-10 11:25:00 Ok, this may sound really basic, but I think it looks good.

White T-Shirt with the Press F1 logo on the front with 'We help you help yourself' underneath that, and then the URl under htat again. On teh back - or a sleeve the PCW logo.

Not an original idea, as this is at the top of the page - but it is straight to the point, and I think would be very effective.

If you start to get too cryptic, you are likely to loose people in the concept. We should be encourageing the site as an esy to understand help forum, not one where you will get a cryptic answer.

Anyway - those are my thoughts...may spark some debate...but that is life.

ps: I would be proud to wear a PressF1 t-shirt as well.....

47968 2002-05-10 11:51:00 You're probably right Kerry - best not to have it cryptic. Shame though, some of those suggestions are really neat.

They'll have to take notice of Faye's comment regarding where they put the 'Press F1' bit though, or the geek girls won't wear it. LOL

Robo, you've got my vote for a white teeshirt. The colour doesn't convert the rest of the washing to the same hue, it doesn't show the fluff, it doesn't fade and yes, it is cooler.

I like white teeshirts. :-)

47969 2002-05-13 11:39:00 What about a little take off of Star Wars... instead of:

Star Wars - Episode 1, The Phantom Menace


use:

PC World - Press F1, The Phantom Helpdesk

but do it all in the sorta star wars design...

Mike.
