Title: Square²Wear Slogan Contest (win 1.5 btc)
Post by: Gabriel Beal on June 24, 2011, 12:50:01 PM
Hey everyone.  You may not have noticed, but I try to change weekly the slogan which is displayed in the changing banner box at the top of the page over at SquareWear.biz (http://SquareWear.biz).  I need some help coming up with next week's slogan.  The name the whale contest (http://forum.bitcoin.org/index.php?topic=16868.0) we did went so well last week, I thought this would be fun too.  Post your best slogan(s) here and I'll pick at least one to use.  I'll break a bitcoin in two and then ship one half along with a whole coin to the talented winner.

One other catch.  To win you have to sign up on SquareWear to get the newsletter. (Go to the account page (http://www.squarewear.biz/index.php?route=account/login)) If you already have an account, then you're eligible too.

To get an idea of what I'm looking for, here are some of my past slogans:

  • “So lame, they wrap back around to cool”
  • “If a Jaguar and a robot had a baby it would be a SquareWear shirt.”
  • “It’s like they mixed gold, fire, and magic to make SquareTees.”
  • “When I sleep in a SquareWear shirt, I feel twice as refreshed.”
  • “SquareWear is to t-shirts what Jesus is to Christians” (I took this one down, more it wasn't that funny than because of its irreverence)
  • “Voted #1 US-based, cryptocurrency accepting, geeky-humor t-shirt site with a superscript in the name."
  • “Helping nerds become nerdier”

"Not scared to be trendy"
"Not scared to be geekish"
"Not scared to wear Square²Wear"

"Dollars are for the tie-wearing mass"


That gives me an idea for a tshirt. Do one with a tie printed on it and the slogan "Who said that bitcoiners never wear a tie?" or "I bought this tie with bitcoins in order to be taken seriously by my banker" :-D

I think a derivative of yours: "Don't be squared." (Don't be square) would be GREAT. If they choose this I'll split the bounty w/ you.

I don't have a slogan for you, but I have a t-shirt request. Plainly, without a bunch of pictures or crap,

"I HACKED MT. GOX"

first bitcoin t-shirt I'd want to buy.

think about it!

Bouncing off this idea, I will go with "Be Squared"

It's the winner.  Split up the .5 between the three of us :p

your slogan must have something with Crypto Currency. This is your biggest selling point right now and makes the biggest difference to other labels.

-Square²Wear - if don't get more chicks with my shirt, I get my bitcoins back
-the only experience which is better than be naked is a Square²Wear Shirt
-Square²Wear - bought with bitcoins
-i'm not impressed by bitcoin deflation. i invested into Square²Wear
-Square²Wear since 2010 into bitcoins
-Square²Wear - I love my bitcoin shirt.
-Square²Wear - i'm to geek for your vip list
-Square²Wear - bought with bitcoins
-Square²Wear - only for bitcoins
-Square²Wear - bought with Crypto Currency

Here's my problem.  There are like 20 A-list slogans here.  Can I enter into group negotiations to buy the whole lot?  Who speaks for the mob?

I do not speak for them, but I agree with you here, a lot of real winners.  I even had another, and a friend behind me as I type this had a good visual suggestion I might throw in Photoshop and send to you (Square2 logo itself)

Okay, I'm going to pick my favorite slogan today and pay that person the bounty.  However, there are several good ones I want to use.  How about for every other person's slogan that I want to use, I at least give you some store credit?

Post by: BitcoinPorn on June 25, 2011, 06:16:30 PM
I want that 1.5 lol

I propose a complicated way to solve this problem.  You pick what single one you feel the winner is.  You then write that on a paper and seal it.  Then you have an open poll for everyone to pick who they feel the winner is.   If your answer and the public's answer are off, fight to the death.   Or something better.  This isn't a good idea.

I need to know what is commission if I want to open a Bitcoin Porn store through your site, maybe it isn't something you have set up or ready, but maybe a landing page on your site, nothing nude of course, and allow me to have my own designs and pricing structure, and well who knows going down that road, but I have too many shirt ideas now, but I'm too lazy to open up my own shop.   Should I PM this, I don't mind being open lol

Post by: Gabriel Beal on June 25, 2011, 06:31:54 PM
First I narrowed it down to my top 7:

Trading tees for BTCs. -odessa
Unparalleled In A Square World -soundtweak
It's like looking in God's Vagina - bitcoinporn
Square²Wear because RoundWear sounds like its for Fat people -raf
Square²Wear: Where 90 degrees becomes cool. -TraderTimm
Square²Wear - the root of all clothing - Jdebunt
In 1491 the world was Flat. In 1492 it was round. In 2011 the world became Square. -Adiamante

Then I decided TraderTimm's and Adiamante's were my top 2. It was tough to pick between them, but TraderTimm's was my favorite and wins the prize.

Square²Wear: Where 90 degrees becomes cool. wins TraderTimm 1.5btc.

Well, it wins if TraderTimm PMs me with the email address he used to sign up for the newsletter (one of the requirements for winning).
