So, I'm trying to build up enough of a war chest to make it to BronyCon this year. That takes money. Thankfully, I've come up with a brilliant scheme.

Merchandising!

So yeah, there's that. I'm also open to any suggestions/submissions for new designs. So long as we don't use any of Hasbro's trademarks/copyrights, we should be okay

So you're trying to sell t-shirts that may reference characters or jokes but can't actually depict the ponies?

Please don't sell a Dead Derpy shirt

Ideas

we'll bang, ok?

Shadow's tomb

Cancer derpy (they officially denounced her, fair game)

Charlie sheen's head pasted over CK's body saying winning or something

T-shirt of all the ponies Tom was watching in the winnigverse parody

Dinky!

Dinky and 'lula vs CMC in a cuteness battle

bf and ck busting clouds

pegusi clan armors (in shirt form, duh)

comma as an executioner wearing derpy's mane (LMFAO at that one)

I can't help but think that a Winning Pony figurine would be entirely age inappropriate.

"My wings are so pretty!"
"Let's bang, okay?"

Trollestia's going to get you for that.

My suggestion: get some artists together to put together some stuff that's actually aesthetically pleasing. No offense meant, but simple lists written in Comic Sans/Times New Roman on plain white tees... well, it's not exactly something I could see people wanting to wear on a regular basis, fan or no. So sorry.

But so long as we're doing quotes, I have to suggest my favorite one from Blossom so far:

That’s not okay! That’s the exact opposite of okay! That’s okay's evil twin brother, intent on killing okay and burying it in a shallow grave by the train tracks!

And if we want to delve into meme territory...

Yeah, I'll admit that I'm not a good visual artist. Part of why I opened up a thread: I'd kinda like to get stuff that's more visually sophisticated than what I can manage.

These ... I like these.
Especially that last one, lol.

Also, I love the obvious choice mug. Good stuff.

1085775
That last one was pretty good. Horrible but funny.

Just put Cloud Kicker with a speech bubble saying "We'll bang, ok?" on a mug and I will caber-toss money at you.

"Box Noises"?

1085775

Now that's just evil. But funny-evil.

1085775 I agree with all of these, especially Dinky, and the Pegasi clan armor.

no wait, instead of the last one being a t-shirt, have comma wear a t-shirt that says "i created dead derpy-verse with a picture of cancer derpy, and see how long he survives

Got a new design up featuring Comma-Kazie (AKA "The Derpy-Killing Bastard").

Hah, that merch is quite banging.

And if we want to delve into meme territory...

This. Totally go with this.

I wanna say do something with Cloud Kicker, Barney Stinson, and Jack Harkness, but that's probably pushing it kind of far.

1085775>>1087143
Kicker Armor Hoodies? holy shit I'd totally buy that!!

>rules of banging thong
I fucking died when I saw that.

How about a madlibs style fill in the blank shirt?
"The Incredibly ________ _____ of a _______ing ______"

Merchandising!
Cloudkicker, the t-shirt.
Cloudkicker, the golf ball.
And my personal favorite, Cloukicker, the FLAMETHROWER. The kids love this one...

In my head all I can hear is Yogurt.

1089731

Ah, you hear it too.

1088134

I think of when ck ruins everything forever in the twilight one. Eclairs Lol.

Card sleeves?
If so i'd definately buy.

1089731 The Kid's not very pleased about being beaten to the punch.

1085775 Cuteness battle - both sides facing off, making foal eyes, with one large word below: DIABEETUS!!
Alternately: WARNING: Do NOT get caught in the crossfire.

A design with big 'fuck off' font saying:

EEPY
SQUEAK

I'd buy it.

Sooo.... How far does trademark go down this pretty little rabbit hole?
We can probably take it for granted that vector stuff is verboten.
But artwork?
Artwork derived from original fiction that just happens to share some basic similarities with the not allowed stuff?
Artwork of OCs derived from original fiction etc....?
Where does it stop?

I suppose it doesn't really matter if you're just going to print out quotes from the fic on things, but that is in the words of kinda lame....
But I would totally lay down some bits for stuff with Hoshi art on it.
(My opinion may or may not coincide with your own.)

Cloud Kicker and Jack Harkness

Now you've given me a fanfic idea. ... .....

I'm curious why you think it is OK to post in a thread that has been dead for over 6 years, pinging someone who hasn't been online since July of this year, just to post your passing thoughts that have little to nothing to do with the thread topic?
