WC fans: Put your shirt on Engerland

wc_designer

Tell you what Clive, the hefty German contingent at Spreadshirt Towers aren't half cocky about this World Cup business. But we've seen Robert Huth in action so we know better. Which is why - though it may stick in the throats of the Irish amongst us - we're backing England all the way this summer with our special World Cup microsite.
There's loads of ways you can get involved. For starters, there's a free England shirt up for grabs if The Roon and co actually fire you lot to glory. Just order anything from our World Cup shop before June 8th and you'll get the shirt if England win it.

Secondly, we want shop partners to get involved. Send us your design ideas or slogans and we'll feature them on the site and send you some traffic to this email address: worldcup@spreadshirt.co.uk.

And if you've got a specific World-Cup related shop going on, read on for details of our very own World Championship....

You down with OLP? (Yeah you know me)


new_logo
OLP, how can I explain it? Our competition to create a new logo to replace the friendly, mildly 50's Americana-esque, Spreadwoman, has come to a close. AftWe've got a winner! Spreadshirt has selected the Fingerprint by Tarzion. Despite long discussion and deliberation, we're happy to have found the classy, flexible, and valuable entry.

We're now working hand in hand, Tarzion and the graphics department are creating the new Spreadshirt corporate identity. This is a big deal. For a longer version of what this is all about, go here. To keep up with the news, check out the Open Logo Project page.
 
 
 
 

Top shop partner: Jerkass clothing

Coming over from sunny Texas, is the new European Jerkass shop . The self-described "cheap, funny and generally offensive graphic novelty t-shirts for the world's spoiled youth". The shirts are the brainchild of designer Angela Lee, who's "worked and played with the industry's elite. I hand-stitched my first garment at an age when most little girls were learning to crayon". jerkass

And now she's taken on the magic marker of the extremely elite t-shirt designing world. Fantastic designs, slogans, and a kickass combination of offensive, clever and wearable, it's Spreadshirt's newest US import. Welcome!

Survey of the month: While there's still time...

joshbag
skins
Last month's backpack survey, resulted in the Josh Bag being introduced into the Spreadshirt product assortment. This month's survey asks what kind of skin you'd like for dressing up your technology. For the uninitiated: skins are thin, flexible, plastic covers that you can put on and take off your, for example, iPod, laptop, game console, PC...

We're thinking of offering customiseable skins in the shops, all you have to do is let us know which product you'd like to dolly up for a night on the town (or, perhaps, a day in the office?). Choose from the technology bits noted above, and make your voice known here.

With a range of apparel and stuff featuring the "wit and wisdom of the fifth gear team".

Pardon me: Do you have any Spreadshirt Coupon?*

Mais oui! There's a new page on the blog dedicated to coupons for Spreadshirt Designer. Find it here. Get 3 or 5 GBP off your orders, participate in the WC comp where you win an England shirt if England does win. Refreshed when we have new ones....

* I couldn't resist. Anyone else know this reference? If so send me an email: winner@spreadshirt.net with the source of this manipulated quote. The first three (correct) respondents get a shirt.
