Tagline Poll - Open 1 week

[1wingedangel]

I voted for:

1. BYOC
2.Mindgames, son
3. SWF: Smashaholics Anonymous

I thik that they sound best.

 

[Foxman15]

That picture of "tires don exits" would be terrible for a shirt design. I would like for the shirt design to seem that is at least related to the games. Quote from my sister after she saw the picture "That sucks n*gger balls". I'm not lying about that quote either, which is why it is so funny. She was reading along with me while I opened the link.

 

[All_Characters]

Forgive me for asking, but what does BYOC stand for? is it Bring Your Own Cube?

 

[sexysanta73]

Mindgames, son.

 

[Puffy Fox]

Can you wave dash?

 

[1337marth]

Can you wavedash?

 

[Hazygoose]

swf: living life, 4 at a time (very witty!)

i'll be so sad if "mindgames, son" wins.

 

[kerploplesteesh]

Almost all of these are terms that have been beaten to death. Id rather go with something more original, that when you hear it you know its Smashboards and nothing else.

 

[Jihnsius]

Forgive me for asking, but what does BYOC stand for? is it Bring Your Own Cube?

Bring your own controller.

 

[pr4n4y]

Dude the" Living life, 4 at a time" should win

 

[kerploplesteesh]

agree to that pr4n. =D but dont worry, there will be a top 5 vote. No johns is MLG btw. =P even if it is a good slogan, we dont want the same stuff as MLG, BORRRRING. SWF has to be set apart from those halo loving fools.

 

[pr4n4y]

Haha. True, we need individuality

 

[~Tac~]

Don't Get Hit, SWF: Living life, 4 at a time; and Can You Wavedash? Hand down.

 

[Tank McCannon]

Can You Wavedash is beating Don't Get Hit.

This is a sad, sad day.

 

[Zeron]

Show me your moves!

 

[Zombie Lucille Ball]

as stated numerous times before, No Johns is originally a smash term and MLG co-opted it.

 

[HeltXL]

How did "Mindgames, son" originate?

 

[kerploplesteesh]

Sounds like West Coast Wes

I know its a smash term, i know it was smash first, All of this doesn't mean that it wont be noticed as a term widely used with MLG. It doesnt mean it isnt a good tagline.

 

[Eight Sage]

"Mindgame, Son" is my favorite there.

Can we put images on phrases?

 

[commonyoshi]

It saddens me that "Dont get hit" and "Tires don exist" cant both make it to the next round. I really dont want to wear a shirt saying, "Show me your moves!"

 

[mario-man]

Me Either!!!!

 

[Shanx]

I prefer SWF: Living life, 4 at a time. It's a new one to me. I've been around Mindgames, son, don't get hit, show me your moves, and being from Oklahoma, "No Johns" (I'm not saying we thought of it, but in terms of riding a dead horse, we have a cavalry)

 

[Keroku]

True that. I really liked "SWF: Living life, 4 at a time" because it IS new, And it's basically true. It's the general number for any tourny, except a few.

 

[Falco&Victory]

I voted for 'Mindgames, son', it is pretty much the most common phrase here on smashboards.

Don't think we don't know this is a ploy for money...how much money per shirt will be ployed?

 

[kerploplesteesh]

Gideon doesnt know yet. Somewhere around 15 dollars but he wont know until he gets the graphics and what not.

On another note, i think new is good for a boards t-shirt.

On a third note, 4 at a time and mindgames son seem to be the ones getting the most votes per day now.

edit: yeah, ive seen 1 tourney that had 5 stocks about 4 years ago.

 

[daytripper]

Mindgames, son. Has gotta win

 

[Shiri]

Awww, I wanted to see STFUppercut make it. :_:

The '4 lives at a time' sounds good to me, though.

 

[Nes]

I don't know about the mindgame shirts though.

Those shirts were sold at the UCLA 3rd Monthly, I have one myself.

 

[kerploplesteesh]

Gid, when do we get updates on the next round?

 

[OnYourMark]

It saddens me that "Dont get hit" and "Tires don exist" cant both make it to the next round. I really dont want to wear a shirt saying, "Show me your moves!"

I wouldn't wear a "show me your moves" shirt... -.-;;
too cpt falconish... eww O_O

i voted "Tires don exits". it's a good one.

 

[Raistlin]

I think this poll shoulda been a little more widespread. Like, a link to a thread with the poll put into every room (melee, each character, brawl, whatever) would have let more Smashers know about it. Seems a little weird that the shirt should be decided by 348 voters when there's nearly 70,000 members.

But then again I could just be johning because "No Johns" lost...

Oh well, doesn't matter now and I do appreciate the effort that went into this, don't get me wrong. Can't wait to buy it myself.

 

[Mky762]

Show me your moves!, No Johns, and Mindgames, son


Edit: (just realized that the poll was closed)

 

[Gideon]

I realize that only 300 people voted, but it was in the announcements for a week. But it doesn't matter too much, because this vote only narrowed things down more and was not a final decision maker.

Here are the tentative results:

The following will definitely have a logo created and be made into t-shirts:

• Show me your moves!
• Don't Get Hit

The following will have a decent chance of having a logo created and of being made into t-shirts:

• Tires don exits
  
• BYOC
  
• No Johns
  
• Mindgames, son
  
• SWF: Living life, 4 at a time

The following will not be made into t-shirts:

• Game Set
  
• SWF: Smashaholics Anonymous
  

The voting last week was only one of several factors that went into this decision. So while "Mindgames, son" got first place in the vote, it still is not definitely going to be made into a shirt. Also, if MLG had not already adopted No Johns, this definitely would have been made into a t-shirt. It still might, but it's just not as unique to smashboards anymore.

The biggest thing behind which quotes made it already was the history/context of it. The context behind the "Don't get hit" tagline is just a classic. "Show me your moves" is a pre-made tagline the game already had from the start.

Now it's time to make the designs. The biggest factor now as to which taglines are chosen is how the graphic that is made for each one looks.


Thanks for all your help in this process! I think in the end we will get several nice looking t-shirts that are unique to our community. I am currently in contact with several printing companies but have not decided which I will go with yet. I will keep you updated, but it will probably be about a month before anything is made available. Tentative t-shirt prices will be around $15. I will update you with the graphics that are chosen over the next few weeks. I will also be running several surveys over the next few weeks for information on sizing and color preferences, so make sure you vote!


Oh, and it will be at least one more week before I announce winners of the premium memberships (I have to look back at the post, decide on a definite 3rd tagline, etc).

Finally, a special thanks to Sinz and NG7 because thanks to them we already have a t-shirt basically completed. It will probably not have any text, but the context is wavedashing. Once it is finalized I'll release some mock up images of how the shirt will look! Thanks NG7 and Sinz!!

[Sinz]

Yeah. ! ! ! ! Only 300 people, but that is still alot of people!

 

[commonyoshi]

Now Sinz can spend more time playing mafia.

I'm definitely buying Dont Get Hit and Tires don exist if it is made into a shirt.

 

[darkshy]

I don't know if this has been said but around how much will these shirts go for?

 

[typh]

Tentative t-shirt prices will be around $15. -Gideon

Oh, the memories. Seems like just 3 posts ago he was saying that.

 

[Phaazoid]

woo, don't get hit!

i hope tires don exits will be a t-shirt too, though.

 

[Ophelius]

Stupid school dress code... Who cares? I'm gonna stand out! WOO HOO!

 

[James Sparrow]

These shirts look like they'll be sweet. All the taglines are pretty good.
