What about some key chains using the site logos? In the case of Giant Bomb and Tested, perhaps just the bomb or Testedcles. Or maybe Luchadeer (like the cartoon one from the shirt)?
Well there is the obvious t-shirt/ hoodie selection. Then mugs, thermos and/or glass tumblers with the logos from the various Whiskey Media sites.
Oh a Whiskey Media shot glass or pint glass collection. A selection of six shot/ pint glasses each with a different site logo on it or five glasses each with a logo from one of the five sites but all having the Whiskey Media logo on them. Offer them individual and as a set.
Kinda like this. But with a Whiskey site logo instead of the Aperture Science logo. I guess its up to you if you go for full color, black or white. Maybe even offer a choice between black or white.
Also I'll second the call for a GiantBomb wallet. Make it look like Samuel L Jackson's "Bad Mother Fucker" wallet in Pulp Fiction but with the GiantBomb Logo.
Luchadeer plush is probably about the only thing I would buy. Maybe a poster of one of the several awesome designs that dude did one time. The one with the outlines of the staff's heads that were inside each other and progressively smaller would make a cool poster.
I'd like to see something that can go up on the wall, something good enough to be on display, framed even. A nice high quality print, not just the logo though: think along the lines of a mural - the rollercoaster design of the first members shirt is along the right lines.
Other than that, bobble heads would be pretty cool; might have to be Luchadeer though. I say Luchadeer for two reasons: the first being that it has a wider appeal than any one staff member and the second being that I find having a Jeff Gerstmann bobblehead (for example) a touch creepy.
Some people complain about how overt the Giant Bomb shirt is. What if you made a reversible tee, so that one side was the standard Black & Bomb, and the other side had a nice looking design and the Giant Bomb on the sleeve?
@Daniel: I've given you ideas before. WHY MUST YOU NEGLECT THEM?!
Smartphone covers with the logos would be awesome. Or membership smartphone covers since they have access to the mobile site and all. (It'd make sense if they'd want that instead of a T-Shirt, yeah?)
I don't want it, but I'm sure others would like a shot glass 4 pack with each one having the 5 star review graphic printed on it. Also, mugs/glasses with just the bomb guy logo.
As for t-shirts I do love wearing the t-shirts I just wished they where more stylish you guys got some GREAT artwork out there that is really artistic and you can just make a really nice t-shirt one a nice color instead of just black/white with a picture in the middle. You should use BrokenTeir for inspiration!
Also, anyone happen to know any more T-shirt websites like BrokenTeir or Ugmonk? I'm looking for some more shirts.
TEEFury do AMAZING tees the catch is they only have one tee a day and once it's gone it is gone :< some have been amazing!
+1
Personally, I would buy mousemats, key chains, cup holders.
@Sparklykiss: Thats alot smarter than plushies and action figures!!!
I myself am still holding out the "Rorie and Puppies" pillowcase.
Some nice tumblers or a Whiskey Media koozie could work, too. (But koozies tend to be of a really cheap quality which sucks.) I still think some nice thermal shirts would be grand. And just have it be plain with the name/logo on the sleeve.
If possible to get permission, I'd like to get posters of certain photoshops that users/Dave has done for the site, such as this one of Ryan. I especially think that one photo of the GB crew that use to be on either the GB description page on GB or Whiskey Media could potentially be good for hanging up in a bar (it was them at a bar, by the way).
Fake game covers could be a good idea if implemented properly. More Lincoln Force shenanigans.
Definitely want to see more Luchadeer merch, but I don't need any more plushies, as adorable an idea as that is. T-shirts and hoodies are nice and have been done, but I have my fair share of both of those, too. Posters are always safe so I suggest that, but a left field suggestion is a Luchadeer children's book written from his perspective in the style of See Spot Run. It wouldn't take that much effort compared to other possible written routes. That, and considering they'd entail more visual needs while the GB community is full of visually talented folks (plus already have Kat doing comissions, could do more on this project), it'd be that much easier to accomplish.
Fuck, if you don't like this idea, I'll grab some people that do.
