T-Shirts

We're making up some T-Shirts for the comdex show, and we're looking for some suggestions on slogans to put on them :)

If we use your suggestion, you get a free T-shirt (we're hopefully making a few styles). So... any ideas?

Our ones so far have been along the lines of...

"Is that a 600-disc autochanger in your trunk... or are you just pleased to see me?"

"empeg. It's big and small and noisy"

Hugo

Here you go:-

front
"empeg - what the worlds been waiting for"
back
www.empeg.com

or

"Can you do 70 hours without repeating yourself?"


-Rob

"Linux at the speed of sound: 70 MPH"

(localize as needed)

"Got MP3's?"
----------------------------
"Got 70 consecutive hours of music?
didnt think so...."
-----------------------------
(front) "take a ride on the empeg..."
(back) "you wont be dissapointed"
-----------------------------
"top 5 reasons why you should own an empeg:
(5) Upgradeable and programable
(4) Can play 70 hours of consecutive music
(3) Random Play, Pin Number, and topic searchers
(2) Mind blowing visualizations
(1) GOD has one!

Transcontinental.
Without repeating a track.

My suggestions:

"This ain't your fathers CD-Player" (it's an american saying)
"Own the future of Car Audio now"
"Empeg Car - Finally a reason for driving" or "Empeg Car - The Reason For Driving"
"Empeg Car - Home of the 4000 song no repeat year" (parody of the US radio's phrase "Home of the 12 song no repeat work hour")
"Only 2000 years to prefect Car Audio"
"Empeg Car - This thing is better than sex"
"When you're tired of hearing the same song twice - in a year"
"And Sony though 12 disks would be enough for your car"
"Sony: Mini-Disk it's dead now" (that might piss'em off a bit much though)
"CD - Been There Done That"
"The Biggest Little Head"

Those are mine...

David -- I think maybe you're not doing it right.... ;-)

"There Ain't No Such Thing As A Free Lunch"

"CD - Been There Done That"

Shouldn't that be "CD - Been There, Ripped That"? :-)

Well sew only last 5-15 minutes and how long before you are reedy again.

"Empeg - when you just have to take EVERY CD in your collection"

Lonewolf....

P P P Pick up a Penguin .... and PARTY!

But then we'd have to have pictures of waddling penguins talking to each other, falling down slopes and jumping off of ice-sheets.

How about:

"Music CDs? Yeah, I remember those, did they come before or after 8-track?"
"empeg: how much music?!!!"
"empeg: more music than you can handle!"
"Linux, the original soundtrack..."
"empeg: If music be the food of love, this thing's a sex-machine!"

I'm sure there's some *really* good 8-track and CD analogies to be put together, but I can't think of any polite ones!

"WAY too happy about having #99."

I've got mine

Have you had your empeg today?

"Does your car stereo run Linux?"

(It's from Empeg Ltd's home page, but I like it.)

Hey - you can make an investment in working toward the hope of having sex /or/ you can get a sure thing in the Empeg.

Hugo,

My pathetically small brain has come up with this small offering:

Empeg - Hits happen

Josh

We have decided to produce the following T Shirt design:

empeg logo on the front
Penguin on the back with the caption "Penguins like ICE"

This will be the company shirt for Comdex, but keep the suggestions coming - we'll definitely make some more shirts soon.

Rob

empeg: anything better would be implanted in your skull

Kirk had Spock;
Picard had Data;
...We have empeg.

This is not really on-topic, but you should all remember that the empeg can 'only' have about 360 CD's on it. At least if we hypothesise that there's 55 minutes of music average on a CD, that you are using 128Kb/sec compression, and a 20Gig unit. If we say 70 minutes of music per CD that number falls to a 'meager' 285 CD's......

Just my 0.25DKR

Yonzie

I make it 372 CD's at 55mins per CD on 20Gb (1Mb/min).

It makes more sense to consider hours of music, or singles, as many albums will contain tracks that you don't want.

Rob, this sounds nice. Where can I buy this T-shirt?
Also, I would like a tiny sticker for my laptop
saying "My other Linux is an Empeg".

The shirts we made up for Comdex were all used or given away, however we are putting together a collection of merchandise that will become available in the new year.

Are the t-shirts Year 2000 compatible?

Any new updates on this?

(See what happens when someone says they know the longest thread, and I go back to look, and manage to hit some old ones back up top? :-)

Wow, this thread is from before I started reading this BBS on a regular basis. I have but one thing to say.

I WANT AN EMPEG SHIRT!

Maybe...
Front: O-Scope or funnelweb style graphic
Back: Empeg. Analog is ordinary.

This is something which we have made progress with, but which has been put on the back burner due to more pressing issues. I'd like to get a small range of merchandise online within a few weeks - maybe 2 or 3 shirts, and a selection of cool branded gadgets.

Rob

I WANT A T-SHIRT ... :-)

i would definitely like to hear some more about empeg merchandise. do you have any definite shirt designs? i would really like to see one with the gateway into the old site with the logo that said "does your car stereo run linux". let us know. maybe we should start a new thread for this :)

12 gig, green...

I can do you an embroidered empeg teeshirt anytime, likewise an empeg monster mug with logo.

I suspect I'm stepping on Rob's/Steve's toes here, though...

One of the few remaining Mk1 owners... #00015

My ideal Empeg shirt, FWIW:

front: small, discreet blue empeg logo

rear: EMP3G as UK licence plate (the right font and everything -- is that legal?) with "My other Unix machine is a car stereo" underneath

Peter

Can you do those to order?
I mean, could you do an embroidered t-shirt with the empeg logo with my serial number neatly tucked in underneath? Or would you have to get them made in significant numbers? A personalised empeg t-shirt/mug would be cool

Got one of the first Mark 2 empegs...

Sorry if they're incoherent, I'm pissed...

"My car runs Linux"

Too wordy; hard to see on a t-shirt

hmm.

In reply to:

"empeg - MP3 playback for your Car has Arrived" back

...but empeg's player software isn't open-sourced...

In reply to:

"empeg: the Linux-based DJ for your Car

that's kinda cool..

In reply to:

---

that's kinda cooler...

Personally though, I would want a plain shirt w/ a small empeg logo on the front, and a waterbrushed-shiney-eye-candy larger empeg logo on the back...

Q# 15189

Nope, We can customise them to your taste with minimal effort - putting your serial number on in the colour and font of your choice would be simple. No problem with the quantity - you don't have to order in bulk

Mugs we can get done locally with some degree of cusotmisation, but the one I had done had the old logo only. I'd have to ask if we could get extra things done but that shouldn't be too difficult.

... with maybe just a hint of Tux?

Embroidered? Your serial Number in your display colour underneath?

Yes? Done (in about 5 minutes)

Maybe I should think about commercialising this....
