Colorado Prospector - Gem and mineral prospecting and mining forums _ Equipment - Prospecting and Lapidary _ Design it

Posted by: Redpaw Feb 22 2004, 05:07 PM

To me a Jacket or T-shirt is part of Mining Equipment, so I'll throw this out into this forum and make it open to all.

Here's the Idea, We want to get all your ideas of what the MRT Look would be on a Hat and T-Shirt ( we want both sides of the T-shirt )

The Hat Design / Words / Image should be around 3" tall and 4" wide for the Final look, so make your design larger and we can shrink it down ( say 640 X 480 Pixel size for display here )

The T-Shirt should have a Design / Image / Wording on the upper left chest area where a pocket would be ( a lil' higher ) along with a 14" x 9" Design / Image/ Wording on the Back of the T-shirt.

Lets have some fun with this, there is no deadline, so don't be in a hurry to get one up right away.....

I'm thinking that everything submitted should be around 640 x 480 in graphic size for all of us to get an idea of what you have in Mind.

One last note****
Please tell us what inspired you to come up with that idea, and what message you think your image is portraying.

dave, what about big red letters MRT across the top and the words minersresponseteam all together underneath ! red is for action! thats where your at! what else could represent the mrt! you need a bold statement that represents the mrt intent/idea!

Sounds Great, now if someone will draw it up so we can look at it others can use that for their ideas.

Out of this will come a great look and design we can all say we were a part of.

Thats a great idea Russ, but when I think of red....... I think of a stop light.......
:( or anger.
I love the colors that Redpaw has already... :) I like the way the yellow looks on the black, with the lightning. ;) :D

When I see lightning... :o I think QUICK!! like how the MRT responds. ;) :)
I can try to draw something up.........as drawing is another one of my favorite pass times. Pass time right now... Who am I kidding.. :P
I will try though. ;)

Some of the things that reality brings when I start thinking to myself......

The Apparel ( Hats & Shirt ) should / could...... be TAN in color as to match the dirt stains that will undoubtedly appear from mining.

I was thinking outloud and thought that maybe Yellow letters in Black trim outline and the "M" "R" & "T" would be red? and bold?...

Hard to say what looks good until it is submitted and suggestions are made, and various Re-do's are performed?....

Think Embroidered for the T-Shirts and Embroidered/Patch for the Hat?

some suggestions could be.....
A graphic image in the background? with letters overlaid?
Yellow letters laid over RED Lightning bolts?
A speeding Mining Cart emblazzoned with MRT letters?
A Stamp Mill image with MRT letters on the Mill?
Scales of Justice on a table in a mine entrance tunnel?

trying to give some creative thoughts to those who wonder where to start.

I think Redpaw has been sitting on the design all this time. ;) :D
Here is what I like. ^_^
I think the T-shirt should be black to hide all the stains, and have the lightning pattern on the whole thing........ :) And lay Redpaws original banner on it. It will blend,
and everyone is already familiar with it. :)
It would Embroidered well on the hat or the T-shirt. :)
I just took Redpaws original, and made the letters MRT red.
Just my 2 cents. What do you think??

Okay
Just had a thought or two......

How about putting the letters MRT in the mighty RED, WHITE, AND BLUE....... :)
or even maybe stars and stripes within the letters.

Think that our fore fathers would be very proud of the citizens efforts from within the
Miners
Response
Team

Don't look too bad..... ;) :)

Another 2 cents worth......

I think Mrs.CP is on track. I am not a member of mrt yet. But might join at the ralley in june. With out stepping on any toes would it be out of line to consider Made in USA hats and tee shirts. Or possibly this side of the world. Come on June jmann

Posted by: Mrs.CP Feb 29 2004, 10:17 PM

:o ooops!!! Got to have the lightning.... :D I almost forgot it. ^_^

Posted by: Mrs.CP Mar 1 2004, 02:14 PM

This is what I think would look good on the pocket of the T-Shirt.

Posted by: jmann Mar 1 2004, 08:17 PM

Put me down for 2 hats, 1 t XL, 1 t L, 1 t M. Will pick up at ralley if ready then. Come on June. jmann

Hey all,
This design "contest" is a kick! I sorta favor the anything goes approach to MRT fashions. One of the very first posts on the net discussing the MRT mentioned the grassroots nature of the MRT, here it is:

C'mon, Anybody wanna join? No dues, except time and gas and effort! No regularly scheduled meetings, only hastily called gatherings! No potlucks, just after meeting victory sessions at local cafes or waterin' holes! No t-shirts, come as you are! No giving in without a fight! Are you in?

I might reserve the right to find one design my favorite but people sporting their own MRT designs shows the true MRT spirit!

My personal design is in a bitmap format on microsoft paint and I can't seem to post it here! I'm better with a pencil than a computer....LOL...I look forward to the day when we can get together at a rally or Gold Show and compare/swap MRT stuff! QJ B)

Here is the latest from the MRT Garage.....Quilomene John say that Nintendo Mario will jump out of the screen any second and get a gold coin

Rolling on the floor for that one, and he's right...it looks like a bad videogame screen

Posted by: Mrs.CP Mar 2 2004, 11:53 AM

A simple but cool look for the hat....... B)
It almost make you look like law enforcement.........Mining Law Enforcement!!
:D

Look out greenies...........The MRT is here!! ;) B)

Hey that's a Fabric Paint hat !!, Way to go on the Lightning.

The above Image from the MRT Garage is clearly an Eco-Freindly approach to keeping a positive look and feel to the group. All the Colors are Bright on purpose and follows the aspect of what QJ thought shopuld be included and I agree.

The problem is, The picture is too cluttered, The colors should be downplayed a little, Remove the Metal Detector from upper Left corner, just to name a few things wrong....in mt opinion...

Posted by: Redpaw Mar 3 2004, 12:49 AM

Here is a blank, move some stuff around or delete stuff, or just re-color it for fun ??....

We know you can help....and we are just trying to spawn some ideas to get you started.

Posted by: Gat-Wa. Mar 3 2004, 03:24 PM

Ok what do ya think ?

Posted by: Redpaw Mar 3 2004, 03:29 PM

AWESOME

Oh Yeah.....now that is a really great look...TOPS !

Posted by: Gat-Wa. Mar 4 2004, 06:53 AM

Thanks Redpaw :D I had this made up at a t-shirt and hat store as a proof. This way every one can say ether yes this is what we want or sugest changes.I was thinking mabey the pocket mrt needs to be smaller and above the pocket not covering it then the hat the same as the pocket mrt. So if any of you have a change in mind post it please and soon.
HaHaHa its like prospecting I CANT WAIT !

:o :o :o
That looks good! :D
But I'm wondering what QJ's looks like before we get carried away...... :P
Guess someone will have to get QJ's posted soon..... B) :P
QJ send us the image in the e-mail and Mrs.Cp can see ifin she can fiddle with it, then you can post it. :)
Just send it to us at prospector@coloradoprospector.com, we'll try to reformat and send right back.
