Logo design credit goes to: tubbadu
Got an email that says "please pay $33 + shipping to get a t-shirt with our ad on it"
There's people that would actually pay for something like this? This stuff is usually give away for free at conferences and then used as a sleeping dress, no?
OP acting like he seriously doesn't own a shirt with a logo on it.
Ever heard of brands?
Uhh yes. Often. First day on Earth?
Glad you asked me what it is. So you see, there are things call webpages. Yes, they are pages on the web. Guess what, there are people making them. Shocking, right? So part of the webpage…
I developed a distate for visible branding on my clothes and other items around 7 years ago and ever since I've gone out of my way to not buy any clothes with logos on them and I've been scratching away / putting tape over the logos on everything else.
I've always had that dislike. I even do not wear clothes with text on them as I feel like I'm constantly saying that. Often the texts designers put on clothing is nonsensicalb stuff. F.i. Hollywood, I'm not from there, I've never been there, why would I want to say Hollywood the entire day?
There's surprisingly little overlap between text people put on clothes and what I'd like them to say but there's a shitload of clothes the people feel like it some text on it.
Anyway that's my pet peeve.
I feel like I became cognizant of this when I tried customizing my GTA Online character in something that wasn't a nice suit (street wear). After scroling through so much cotton billboard it made get how tacky and humiliating it is. Turned out to be much harder in real life to find non-branded shirts with cool designs, such utter bullshit.
This is why I love furry stuff. Nomad Complex, Hyena Agenda and Weasel Gear are great. I mean, I guess Nomad Complex and Hyena Agenda could technically be kinda considered branded since Nomad Complex puts their logo on the front of their hoodies and Hyena Agenda has some shirts that incorporate their logo into the design, but the designs are generally really good.
Edit: okay fine, it's one of the reasons why I love furry stuff.
That's why you love furry stuff?
No, but it's one of many. c:
People pay for shirts with the nike logo on it all the time. Maybe folks think they're big enough now that they can do the same.
Isn't that an open source project? How else do you want them to make money?
The old version from years ago was, the current version isn't. (Hence the existence of fork awesome)
Don't think they are open source but they do provide a ton of free, high quality icons. Presumably they make money off the organizations paying for the icon packs.
I'm not sure what OP has against them. He should take a look at how Nike has hypnotized a portion of the population into giving them money for shoes with a check mark.
Nothing against them, it's just that it totally looks like a conference gift shirt, but indeed fashion brands brainwashed us to daily wear ads
Just like a band shirt, no?
Um. If you order by May 25th, they will ship it three weeks into the past? Or do they need to know by May 25th 2025 to get it to you on time by May 4th 2026?
Some random ass site making shirts will always be funny to me because why would I wear an ad for a odt to pdf converter
Idk what's the organisation structure, but they can be used as a gift for donators. The EFF does that and has pretty cool original tshirts than change every few years.
In their minds, they're wearing something to show off.
I despise branded clothing but that does look like something funny to wear.
