Where can I buy a T-shirt with the DaniWeb logo? Or a sticker to pimp up my car? Or is this not feasible?

Thread summary and practical next steps based on the posts from , , , and .

A pragmatic path forward looks like three things: confirm whether any official stock remains, get permission to reproduce the DaniWeb logo if needed, and decide on a production method (single-item on‑demand, a local print shop, or a small bulk run). has already explained why keeping inventory is awkward; that makes dropshipping or print‑on‑demand attractive for one‑off orders, while a local printer or screenprint shop is usually better value and quality for larger quantities.

Quick checklist for securing quality merch:

  • Confirm rights: ask whether any shirts/stiders remain for sale or whether reproduction of the logo is allowed for a fan run.
  • Request artwork: a vector file (SVG/EPS/PDF) is ideal; otherwise provide a PNG at the final print size at 300 DPI with a transparent background.
  • Order a sample: always buy one sample before any larger run to check color, placement and fabric weight.
  • Choose material: for stickers use weatherproof vinyl with laminate for outdoor longevity; for shirts, choose fabric and print method (DTG for small color runs, screenprint for larger runs and spot colors).

Practical cautions and event ideas: do not reproduce or sell branded artwork without permission. If the goal is giveaways, partnering with event organizers (as mentioned by and ) can provide a low‑cost distribution channel. When planning a run, include shipping, returns and sizing buffers in the budget and ask for a digital proof showing exact placement and color match before final production.

Dani must still have some left from all those boxes of bloody t-shirts we lugged into the Playwright Celtic Bar a few years ago for the birthday bash? :-)

I have them about 20 feet away from me, at the moment. However, I'm hesitant to sell them directly as the cost for inventory management + shipping doesn't really make it worth my while when there are dropshippers like Cafepress that let you just upload a logo or any graphic or saying you want and have one sent to you on the fly.

You had T-Shirts (and probably coffee mugs) and didn't tell me when I came to visit? Shame on you :-(

I didn't have them in my office at the time. They were buried somewhere in my mom's basement back then. They've since been extracted.

I'm a bit surprised you haven't been walking around town handing them out as advertising. There were still a number of big boxes full of shirts after that night, IIRC. ;)

I've been partnering with friends who put on conferences and seminars and have been willing to give me free booths to hand them out.
