Subject: T shirt ideas - some are surely better than others....

I have lots of ideas for slogans/logos... some undoubtedly suck... and
in either case I have no artistic ability. But they might be worth a chuckle.

==============================================================

"It's all fun and games until someone gives Indy the dice. Then the crying
begins..."
(the image with this would be five six-siders all showing 1s).

==============================================================

"There's only one place to game: Ground Zero!" (of course, the mushroom cloud
logo is mandatory here)

==============================================================

"2000 was for wimps. 2183, now that was a tough year..." (something like a NAC
or NSL ship being scragged by a KV)

==============================================================

"Teske Field? I don't recall seeing that one in the Fleet Book..." (I haven't
a clue what you'd do with this one)

==============================================================

"KraVak: Pest Control For Homo Sapiens"
(Human in armour - maybe an NSL trooper in silhouette with an alien
looking targetting grid over him...)

==============================================================

"We are dreamers, shapers, die-rollers, and story-makers. We study the
mysteries of table and chart, die and map, hypothetical campaigns and
innovations in tactics. These are the tools we employ and we play many games."
(Thanks be to Elric!)
==============================================================

"Damn the Pulse Torpedos! Full Speed Ahead!" (ESU ship closing on a heavy NAC
ship during 3SW)

===============================================================

"Ground Zero: Where real gamers go to escape munckins." (Of course the symbol
here is something that looks like a space womble (aka GW old style Marine)
inside a red circle with a red slash across it)

================================================================

"Ground Zero in Lancaster for Y2K: I came. I saw. I blew my threshold check."
(Picture of a ship exploding seems appropriate)

=================================================================

"GZG FMA: The Only Way To Play in Y2K."

=================================================================

"Ortillery: How the Navy talks to the Army in the GZGverse!" (Logo depicts a
starship shelling a planet)

=================================================================

"There is only one rule of the GZGverse: Everbody fights. Nobody quits." (a
scene involving bugs and PA might be appropos here)

Nice. I like the lis...waitasecond!

How'd this get to be first?!  :-P~~~~  Where's my NAC BB...

There are some good ones in there, but I *like* this one best. Though
I'd be inclined to drop the emphasis of 'GAME' and '!' - the '!' seems
to put a fanatical spin on it (okay, maybe it's just me:), and 'GAME'
seems to over-emphasize something that should be obvious (and if it
isn't obvious, then they MUST be munchkins!:).

I liked some of them. One I would contribute (it's not really
GZG-specific, but it'll do):

"The Weapons of the Future" (picture of dice, all 6s, hurtling towards a ship.

Poor Indy... can't get any respect. Of course, rolling like that, he can't hit
either.

Maybe shorten this one to: "It's all fun and games until someone gives Indy
the dice..."

Very cool...

Hey, I like this one for miniature & wargaming in general. May I run off with
it and stick it up on my website somewhere?

"Veni, vidi, kablooie"???

Like this one, too. Maybe that and the 'escape from munchkins' one, on the
front and back of a shirt?

Da, a lead-poisoned, demented state. Real life? Where's the rulebook for
that one?:>

> Has anyone thought of an anorak with the GZG logo? <heh>

Ouch... said anorak would, of course, have to be in some awful shade brown
- w/ GZG logos etc in neon something. Minimum taste in the maximum
space!
