[solved! :D] Updated Arch logos for the merch?

synthead · 2008-02-03 01:52:23

I was thinking the other day about how much Arch has done for me and I decided I'd make a donation and buy a t-shirt, but I noticed that all the merch is still using the old logo! Any chance one of you guys in the Arch hierarchy (no pun intended) could update the merch so I could get a new-logo shirt?

Oh and by the way, just a suggestion - it might be a good idea to keep the old logo available too for people that like those, I know cafepress doesn't mind a lot of stuff on the site and all

Well, there is a bug report about this. And this was covered on the latest newsletter. Beacuse, Aaron Griffin did bring it up on the mailing list.

Right on, I suppose I'll wait for it

finferflu · 2008-02-03 21:26:48

I think I will buy some Arch merch, too. No distro has ever made me feel so at home, so I ought to literally wear it now

schivmeister · 2008-02-04 04:26:42

I have already decided, but yeah I'm waiting for the design (logo) to be updated First of all, stickers! I'd probably get a few things at once including a jersey. The new logo on apparels is just cool.

Yeah, buying an Arch shirt will be the first time I've ever bought an object like that, but I'm looking forward to it. It'd also be kind of nice, I think, if there were tiny Arch stickers for sale that I could put in place of the Windows logo on my keyboards . . .

doh! I read your post too fast. Yeah, it would be really nice to replace those windows keys.

abstracity · 2008-02-10 10:09:29

Hey, I'd really like one of those! .. The only laptop I own, though, is an Apple MacBook, and I don't know if I'd want to commit to such a thing! Maybe if there was already a manufacturer's logo in place to cover up . . .

abstracity · 2008-02-10 12:05:19

Oh, one more thing. Would you mind taking a picture of your modded laptop? if you can? I would sure like to see how nice it looks :D

synthead · 2008-02-15 10:37:51

I would but I need to learn how to sync up my Windows CE phone to my laptop with bluetooth first

synthead · 2008-04-23 00:51:59

I took a pitcure with a true camera.

omg! you have my mouse!

mine is um.. dirtier though (probably quite a bit older too)

Arch - connecting people across the internet

about their mice models

Bestiapeluda · 2008-04-23 20:36:08

Does the merch get shipped to South America too ?

Nobody's really linked to the new store at http://www.zazzle.com/archlinux* but I'm assuming from the posts that people know there is one now.

To answer your question, I believe that zazzle ships most merchandise to almost all international destinations. Some of their items (the sculpted key chains for example) are outsourced and those are not shipped internationally (I couldn't get one here in Canada), but the t-shirts are.

Maybe "Designed for" should be "Powered by". Designed for Arch Linux... if only it were true!

Arkane · 2008-04-24 08:04:16

The next desktop I build will definitely be designed for Arch.

Too bad it's an impossible dream for laptops though.

Or are there actually vendors offering to custom-build laptops? I've been looking for this kind of offering for a long time but haven't been able to find anything.

My favorite part about those "designed for" Windows stickers is ... well ... how do you DESIGN hardware for an operating system, yet ... you need to install third party drivers to make it work?

Oh, and I bought the failsauce mug and the arch taco t-shirt! I can't wait to get them Of course, ordering merch is the absolute least I could do for what Arch has given me, but I hope it helps you guys

Wow! I have the same mouse too! This is very sad, considering it's a MS mouse

Hey, it's a very nice mouse. MS has always made (*cough* badged *cough*) great peripherals I think. Logitech doesn't even hold a candle to them.

I have no problem putting my money towards things that I think are worth it. I don't support MS as far as operating systems go, but if they make a great mouse, sure, I'll throw a little money at them. No reason to be a hater ...

If that encourages them to bring their business somewhere else, I'm all for it

phrakture · 2008-05-08 20:24:47

I just bought 3 things (t-shirt, coffee mug, and the 20 stickers bumper sticker) off zazzle. Woot

Easy. You choose cheap hardware parts that are not supported and don't support other operating systems and... voila, you have turned a bug into a feature.
