Hello there SoTT Team
I've been thinking of a few ideas recently on how to help get the word out about the SoTT website and do a little more to help. I have had the idea of using T-shirt printers to print a modest amount of T-shirts (maybe 40-100 or so, or as many as I can afford to order to try it out the first time) which a friend of mine and I would give out for free on a busy weekend in our local town centre/s to the curious passers by.
I was toying with what I would include as a printed design on the t-shirts, my first thought was the website address and something such as the V mask many of us have a fondness for (to grap peoples attention). However my own attempts to find a suitable V mask image to use and to incorporate the SoTT web address have been rather amatuer and lacking in style. I wondered if I could ask for the permission of the owner/creator of the SoTT website banner (with the nicely incorporated V masks) if I could take a copy of the banner design to print on the T-shirts? If this request is granted, I would also like to know if it would be okay to slighty alter the image, simply to add a .org, on the end of the SoTT text? I say this as there are other websites that use the SoTT addresses that end in .com or .co.uk (one dating, and another for logo printing) and I would rather send people to the right place. Also using the banner logo would let people know they were in the right place when they get here if they are curious enough to look.
I'm also going to have a jacket printed on (for my own personal use) so that I could advertise the site wherever I wear it and answer people's questions or direct them to the site if they show an interest in the address.
My friend has had an idea for having many leaflets printed out and handing them out around a few local town centres, but I think she may have her own artwork for this. I belive she is thinking of including the site address on these hand-outs, and just wanted to make sure thats OK?
If there are any issues with copyright I'll continue to try and produce my own image for printing. But I thought it would be the polite (or right) thing to do to let the SoTT team know and ask for permission to advertise the site in this way.
Any feedback on my idea would be appreciated.
Thanks for keeping the lighthouse shining for us to steer our way through the storm.
