Chordie merchandise - contest (Page 1 of 3)

Distribution points in europe and the us are all fine and well but what about the rest of us? We'll end up paying more because of shipping, etc.
Why not make a space where we can send designs to. That way we can vote for what we like and what is practical.

Slogan:

A CHORDIAN
not
ACCORDIAN

picture of a full barre chord...such as G or A or G7 (with the pinky finger on the second string 6th fret) instead of the oridinary 3rd fret G7...

another possibility

The letter "A" made from 3 flying "V" guitars....and below the letter the word CHORDIAN

my $.02...

bodies
nuts
pickups
Rods
Slings
Straps

OUR FETISH HAS THEM ALL

"Why Fret? Just let it slide.
CHORDIE the most laid back community worldwide!"

I love this one! That's bloody good.

Tons of good ideas. Keep them coming...

If anyone has pictures, Ill be glad to put them online for everyone to see. Just send them to admin@chordie.com with the subject "design ideas".

I promise I will at least find a distributor in UK and US. If it becomes popular, Ill expand that.

I don't know what you can do more, writing out a contest, and the winner gets a trip to GRUHN in Nashville? hahahahahahahaha
Everyone likes to see his project, so I should suggest to make 1-3 different kinds, printed and made in large quantities it won't affect the price. I suggested the with and without sleeves.
I think that the most difficult part will be: trying NOT to hurt feelings, and maybe as I told, using MAXIMUM 3 different slogans, or pictures, using most of the ideas.
In a later stage, you can keep 3-5 ideas, I hope you can show the best ideas, and than the chordians can vote, but ONLY 1 week. Most votes: wins, AND, you can check it only 1 vote per chordian.
Is this reasonable? or not?

The image would have to be just right. I like Nadines idea about an abstract image as we have more then just guitar players on the site. Ukes, Mandolins, Banjos, ...... a general image would be good.

The Chordie logo could be on a pick.

I have an image in my mind of a cartoon. A chordian brings his guitar to a luther and explains that he has to have the internet connection on his guitar fixed.

or

askes about the cost of the same model with a USB port factory installed

well something along those lines.

Michel

I wrote about a guitar, but nadine's idea is better. There must be someone who can paint a "picassolike" item, that SHOULD BE INTERPRETED as a guitar, but I am afraid if we start adding all the people playing different instruments, we will need more a T-shirt that can be used to go to bed in the winter, because add: sax, (no sex Nadine), trumpet, piano, flute, ukulele, guitar, drums, bass, harpsicord, harp, even a juke box, there will be no place. Maybe a guitar, most of us play that instrument I think, surrounded by little pianos, drums, trumpets.. and MUSIC NOTES!! About the text, the word chordian is quit popular and a must of course the website: www. chordie.com
Something: you want (to be a) music(ian), you'll get it on CHORDIE.
Nice contest.

Thanks Ken,
I like your idea. Now we just have to decide on which cord how about Bm7b5?

Michel

I am 200% sure if these ideas are "approoved", we'll have very lovely shirts.
Isn' it weird, I have never seen a forum like this. We are almost all a group of friends. Especially thpse who we can spot a lot.
Dear administrator: what about a reunion? It can be realised. But every single chordian must have the opportunity, like $$$.
For me it is really difficult, due to my condition: wheelchair on the airport, and a compagnon to help.
But if I know that it will take place, my favourite place is still Las Vegas Nevada, because, usually, the flights are cheaper, and if you take an hotel, like Circus Circus, you pay $50 per room.
The ultimate dream should be; finding a sponsor, try to visit the factory of fender, let me dream...

How would you represent that? Like a timeline with 6 lines like written music and the different era's represented by notes which become progressively more modern until we reach chordie? You have some great ideas!
