What if two of you were wearing the shirt and spotted each other on the street? Would you avert your eyes and keep going? Or run towards the other person and embrace them?

I would introduce myself, embrace the person, buy them drinks, and then whatever made sense at the time.

But seriously, the MAF icon is a big, fat inside joke for a nerdy gaming board. It symbolizes the boards as a whole, and besides, it looks really nice.

This is as close as your gonna get using a vector program. I's up to Mana if he wants to change it now.

excellent, everyone agree this image is the best and should be used?

Hmm, guess I never looked at it that way.
 
There'll be M - 2XL, Raoul.

International orders won't be a problem. We'll get something set up for credit cards or international money orders and I'll ship 'em out.

It can still be changed, Dead.

I suppose it is possible that I will get one, but I'll have to wait until sometime after january.

Are you doing these on cafepress or some other printing place?

Edit: oh yeah, #3. Also, could you put it in the center of the chest area, rather than just having it in the middle of the shirt in the stomach area? I want it to be situated kind like where superhero's have their emblem. MAFman style.
 
I'm sayin' #2 at this point, if only because of the one obvious line segment on #3.

Ohamsie: My dad's starting a t-shirt biz; we have some friends that run a printing place.

#3 is a trace of the original, but i guess it's not going to be possible to make it. What do you mean by line segment Mana? I'm guessing you're talking about the mouth.
 
I think they were all traces of the original; they just turned out differently. On the third one I see a pretty sharp corner towards the right side of the middle part of the curve.

DCX, I'll see about getting a few 3Xs made. This is, after all, a gaming forum. ;)

I'm down with a black T if it's a single smaller image on the front.


And seriously, some of the contestants from the GAF tshirt contest were so awesome I'd buy them in a HEARTBEAT. The "Rack Let Me Push You" one with the GA logo was so damn cool. :lol


Oh yeah, #2,

#2 was done using the small MAF avatar, you couldn't see the wierd way the mouth is at that size. #3 was done using the giant blowup Miguel posted on the first page, where you could clearly see that the mouth isn't a straight line, but kinda crooked. It's as EXACT as you can get with a vector program.

Either #2 or #3 is fine with me.

what the fuck is MAF? Is that like the GA's logo or something? I've never seen it around here before.

You know Mr. Angry Face? That was his avatar for about forever. He's the one guy that basically everybody knows.
 
Oh ok. So like, what makes him so speical that he get's a shirt? I don't even see him posting here at all! Let me look him up first...

Sean, from what I've seen, you're a good guy- but indeed, you are new.

See, the forums have reset quite a few times. This is the latest incarnation, obviously. MAF has been around the entire time. He's iconic. He's made some freaking awesome posts.

Everybody else, they've had shifting avatars. But until the recent future, MAF has always been that goofy little jpeg frowny face. It's sort of a mascot, only not so much dancing. It gives an identity to the forums- sarcastic and hard to get along with.

Depends, since I have been going here for over 3 years now... on and off of course and I never ran into MAF. The only one I know who is most popular to me is SSX... and that's all! But that's not the good kind of popular ;)

Well, see, that confused me, as I noticed your 58 posts, how you didn't know a bunch admins/prominent users, and how none of them seemed to know you. You can understand my ignorance, of course.

But seriously, how did you not run across MAF? He posts just as much as, say, Mike Works, BuddyChrist, or Suerte... probably more than them.

EDIT: Perhaps a full name would help- MrAngryFace. MAF is what everybody calls him, though.
 
Another vote for the angular frown, I guess #2 although it looks a bit beaky.

And I hope there will be a Small t-shirt size option, otherwise no sale. I also really hate t-shirts with a tight neck.
 
Just the black logo on the front and use #2 and sales +1. Also, I wouldn't be adverse to a white version if you're still kicking that around.

if you see me in a fight with a bear, don't help me fool, help the bear!
If they come in Black and XXL or XXXL I'm in... And my big question is does MAF get any of this money? Because if he does I might get 2... :D
 
#3 might be better with the smoother lines. It gets my vote, and I'd like to be put down for one large.


Other than that, I can make these shirts in my printmaking lab if I buy the supplies and get in the good favor of my professor. I can especially make them as a single-color red on black t-shrits provided she's gone in the evening. I've been wanting to use the lab for this purpose, and the MAF design seems to be the best reason so far to do it.


Eventually, I'll make another batch when I can afford to buy a box full of black t-shirts, but for now put me down for a large. Who's printing them, a business? I wonder because it's super-easy to make these since I did it a few times this past summer.


I'm excited about this!

and could someone photoshop MAF onto this baby's face just for this thread?
 
#2 is the close one. Feel free to make shirts. MAF took me like 3 minutes in a paint program to make. MAF is bigger than me anyway.

money sending to me is optional but appreciated haw haw.
