Help me choose a t-shirt design for New Media Expo

By Charles Stricklin · Friday, May 30th, 2008

So, I’ve been thinking of ways to market myself and the podcast in a few months at the New Media Expo in a few months, and I’ve been considering combining the opportunity to develop and wear t-shirt designs for the online store I’m planning on introducing. My ideas all involve a black t-shirt with the new logo, the name of the show and the URL on the back, but with different pithy sayings in white lettering on the front. Although nearly all of the pithy sayings I’ve thought of will be available in the store once it’s ready to launch, I can only wear about two or three of the designs, so I need your help to choose which ones I should wear.

Thus far, the sayings I have to choose from are:

  1. I could talk about WordPress all day long
  2. It’s all one word and you capitalize the P
  3. PHP, MySQL and a little bit of Southern drawl
  4. Code is poetry
  5. Powered by WordPress
  6. 20 queries. 0.298 seconds.
  7. Friends don’t let friends use Movable Type

Can you think of any others? Which two are your favorites?

Also, do you have any experiences to share about your dealings with CafePress, Zazzle, Spreadshirt or Printfection? Is there another print-on-demand/online store that I’m unaware of?

I vote for 7 Friends don’t let friends use Movable Type

or maybe something like

“Chock full of bloggy goodness”
or
“Don’t worry, I’m GPL v2 and safe to share”

Of your existing selections, I prefer:

Powered by WordPress
Code is Poetry

I Like Brian’s suggestions too. :)

Some other ideas:

Word.
WordPress Up
Talking WordPress, Y’all
Ask Me About WordPress

I’ve purchased several shirts through CafePress and they’ve all been very good.

Have fun at NME. :)

How about: I WordPress, therefor(e) I am. A variation on Rene Descartes famous quote: “I think, therefor(e) I am.

Number 7 gets my vote, with 1 as second best.

Alternate suggestions:

“So simple even I can use it”.

“For bloggers with friends” or in the same vein, “Used by bloggers with an actual life”.

“Now you need both hands for the keyboard”

Or more trademarky, “WordPress. One word. Many voices”.

Here are some more!

“I’m Open Source and Proud”

“Hug me. I’m a WordPress user!”

“WordPress Rockstar”

“WordPress User. Autographs Available.”

“Don’t bother me. I’m blogging.”
