Shirts

2011 design proof, made by Ink Monkey Graphics based on Ambers's design First/Second round made by Ink Monkey Graphics, based on Michele's design

Round 3 (Jan 2011) Amber's butterfly design looks fantastic on the dark green of this year's t-shirts. Email Bryan at bjpon (at) ucdavis.edu if you're interested in ordering a shirt.

Round 2 (Nov 2008) We stuck with the same design for group imaging reasons and to keep our cost down. As of Jan 2009 there are several shirts available for purchase. They are $15, made from Organic Cotton(Anvil), in M,L,XL. Contact AlexMandel if you would like to purchase one. Proceeds from the sale go to the club's funds.

Round 1 (March 2008) We made a first round of shirts in time for the AAG 2008. Do to the time crunch we had to go with a simpler design. All of the first round have been sold to members.

Ultimate Discs

We don't want our designs to go to waste so AlexMandel would like to see Elena's map design become an ultimate disc design.

• We need to finish the design - Based on Elena's design we're looking at using a polar projection for the disc.
• We need to raise funds from tshirt sales to pay for the first round of discs.
• We need to agree that we want to make some discs.

Once all those tasks are done AlexMandel has the information to order from DiscCraft.

2010-02-21 00:48:44   Hi,

The butterfly/globe sketch is in it's early stages. I'm hoping to get some feedback. I was thinking along the lines of "if a butterfly flaps it's wings in China..." and the general biogeographic ties to butterflies (not least because Art Shapiro is on our campus). If people like the idea, I'd flesh it out by filling oceans with black, cleaning up the lines (keeping lat/long lines as allusion to butterfly wing veins) and maybe putting it in a circle. CA dogface butterflies are yellow, so this could be a black-on-yellow or yellow-on-dark-color shirt. If we want different colors, I could use a different butterfly profile. I was picturing the image relatively small (<4"), off center, and tilted. The words 'GLOBAL' stands for could be a squiggly butterfly trail, or could be on the back of the shirt.

Other shirt ideas are: -A stylized map of Davis -A modification of the Mother Earth graphic above (original is by W. Heath Robinson, done between 1897 and 1944) -Your own bright ideas? —admanfree
