#5
Bradly Hand, isn’t it?

And the back in CAC Krazy Legs (looks like an 8 year old scriblling)

My vote would be for #3

#1

Obi, the back is Times New Roman – to give it that “dictionary look”

-- Martin, http://lumberjocks.com | My Facebook: http://profile.to/msojka

I knew what the font was, I like the CAC Krazy Legs, because it looks like an 8 year old scrbblling. (Most carpenters scribble like 8 year olds)

But it’s an honor to have it on the shirt reguardless of the font

Will the design carry over to dark color shirts, are will the just be in white? I find my white shirts get very dirty very quickly in the shop…..

Martin’s the Man, of course he’s gonna do them in every color.

Now if the shirts could only do the work of a lumberjock…...

#5 gets my vote.

The 6th is the best!

-- Bandsaw Box Plans

#1 or #6 I’d say… but I’d really be happy with any but #2 or #4.

The back looks great don’t change the typography it fit’s the dictionaryness of it perfectly. It could be my little laptop screen playing tricks with my eye… but i think the .com after the logo is a smidge to big. I think it only needs to be 60-80% of the logos font size.

I think the logo should be much larger on all of them.

I like the back with Obi’s idea. For the front, I would enjoy seeing the Logo Man larger. I made up a little picture below to show what I had in mind.

Kinda like #2, but they all look pretty good!
Nice work, Martin!

I think your onto something Mark.

#1 with Mark’s adjustment and the Obi print on the back.

-- www.darrylmasterson.com ~ www.darrylmasterson.etsy.com

I like #1 font because it looks more casual and more hand-written
I too think the logo could be a little larger but, personally, I wouldn’t want it so big that I looked like a walking billboard (heheh I typed BUILDboard at first..)..
The logo on the back can be BIG .. making the shoulders look broader (and thus my waist look smaller, right?? hopefully?!!!)
Font on the back is perfect. Dictionary-style.

Reduce Marks rendition to 1/2, and you’ll nail it.

O.K. #1

I agree with Dick.

Don’t make the logo too big. Us short old guys who still tuck their shirts under their belts will hid half the logo. LOL

#1 gets my vote, Martin.

-- Ethan, http://greystonegreen.blogspot.com/

There is a defined field size at cafepress that any art can’t exceed, which I think takes tucking-in and other such considerations into efffect. We did a shirt for my wife at cafepress, and their max area wasn’t too big.

Looks like your close to a consensus Martin!

Perhaps, the images and print should be upside down – for sure TonyWard and I would find that useful. And the best part would be the wearer could read it. LOL

-- CanuckDon "I just love small wooden boxes!" http://www.hilsbiblechurch.org/

LOL.. thanks for the feedback.. I think that we are into something now ;)

Scott, I will probably change print on demand service from Cafepress to Printfection – their printing technology is of higher quality plus they are offering shirts in more colors. Here is the testing version of the coming LJ store.

-- Martin, http://lumberjocks.com | My Facebook: http://profile.to/msojka

The back of it was blank :(

-- http://ye-olde-cabinet-shoppe.com/

Not final version there Obi – I was just testing it.

-- Martin, http://lumberjocks.com | My Facebook: http://profile.to/msojka

I agee with With Martin, #6 is it. But I like them all. mike

-- Mike. mwurm13@yahoo.com

I like Mark’s idea of a larger logo, but maybe it should be on the front with the dictionary definition, and the rush sentence on the back?

-- Bill, Turlock California, http://www.brookswoodworks.com

Looks promising Martin. Maybe I’ll have to move there myself. I only wish we could have lower base prices – but unless I want to store boxes of shirts in the attic and hope they sell… these print on demand services will have to do. Sure beats dealing with shipping, or making Iron-on transfers that cant survive the wash!
No ballcaps there though huh?... I don’t suppose you’ve stumbled across any embroidery on demand places? Theres a kiosk at the mall, but even after the set-up fees, your looking at nearly $30 a cap. I got a couple for the family business for Dad and I this Christmas, (couldn’t justify more) the next cheapest option was 1/2 price per unit, but a minimum of 12 :(
But I tell ya, I’d do it again with the Lumberjocks logo, the cap came out great!

Scott – you’re a cap wearer – I rest my case! LOL (This makes 600 posts.)

I like #1 & #5, handwriting is better than classical fonts …

-- Buli, Brezno

Actually Don, I’m not. Except when it’s raining. But, that doesn’t mean your wrong about the correlation between hats and hair.

#1 for my vote

And I thought that 300 posts was a milestone

I like Mark DeCou’s design, LumberJock’s logo on front with, Obi’s definitions on the back. No need for the,”I get an adrenalin rush smelling saw dust”, sentence. With today’s kids and drug problems I don’t like anything that may suggest snorting,even sawdust and I’m sure that there are a lot of you who think I’m off my rocker with this, but the real rush is creating something from wood with my own two hands and a few tools, isn’t it?

Oscorner – I hadn’t thought of that but now that you mention it, I’m with you on the “smelling’ issue.

-- ~ Debbie, Canada (http://www.execulink.com/~yohan)

We will have much more cool slogans down the road (mostly from the ever expanding “You know you’re lumberjock forum topic) – this adrenalin rush one is just a sample. Plus I will also add designs with just logo, logo + dictionary explanation on the front etc.
