i'm not moaning, i don't really mind what's on them that much, but some people are obviously getting a bit narky about it.

I've always been pretty blase about whatever font we selects. It's got the meme I wanted and arsecake on the front. That why I said we should just let gav decide. I'm really willing to go with anything.

Problem solved

Some people clearly like 9, it has ever right to be in there. But I'm not opposed to a random draw.

i want 'markerfelt wide' on it.

i think we should reclaim it from crap SALE! signs and church hall newsletters.

We could always change side B to "Reece <3 Comic Sans" in Comic Sans.

I always lose picks and the designs get warn off pretty quick anyway, so I don't care what's on them too much. It's just cool to be part of it and getting a few of 'em.

Im running low at the minute.. order order order. Pick any font at random, suprise people.

1st choice - 4 pts
2nd choice - 2 pts
3rd choice - 1 pts

Only for the people actually paying. maybe anonymously via PM to save tactical voting.

This sounds good to me. We can just have a new thread with six finalists and then everyone who's paying can post in it what their choices are. Although it would have been cool if people had just my design as is, I wouldn't be comfortable with dictating the font at this stage.

Who knew Gavin would be such a little Hitler about this shit?

and it become clearer and clearer over time that the hat option was the best choice.

My brother bought me a fez while he was in Israel, I'll be surprised if anyone has a more suitable hat.

James · Post by **James** » Mon Aug 24, 2009 10:10 pm

Wait... there was an option with a fez?

I'm not buying any unless there is a picture of a Fez on both sides and no writing.

you might as well, cos no-one will ever agree on a final design if there are loads to choose from. i feel a bit like i threw a spanner in the works posting that list of alternatives in the thread.

I'm doubling my order if that happens.

see i'm not too bothered about the font either.

the meme wouldn't be my first choice to be honest but i doubt we'll be making any more shortscale picks and as long as they say SHORTSCALE.ORG somewhere i'll be happy enough.

Gavin · Post by **Gavin** » Mon Aug 24, 2009 11:18 pm

I'd go with a hat draw. I can live with the majority of the fonts so the odds are in my favour.

this is why I've refused payment to this point. What color/quantity? If it's blue or green I'll pick up the slack.

50 yellow. I offered them to BobAC but I don't think he's after yellow.

As for the artwork, shall we try the weighted vote idea?

Weighted vote sounds good.
