RMX Direct TShirts, Your Ideas Welcome
August 25th, 2006
It has all been coming up roses for us here with RMX Direct’s successful beta run.
Except for one thing. It’s come to our attention that something is missing.
A t-shirt.Or t-shirts…
Considering some software companies put out a t-shirt then the software (vaporware), it feels good to do it the other way around. With that we humbly ask:
If you were going to wear an RMX Direct t-shirt, what would you like it to look and feel like? What would it say?
For that matter, if you have other ideas about fitting RMX Direct accouterments, feel free to share them with us. Originally, I thought RMX Direct ‘bling’ might be a unique accessory. I offered the idea in jest–however, you might actually vote to wear it on your chest…
We’re happy to share our ideas, but we want to put you in front of us. You can put them in our comments area, or, for the shy ones, you can email them to us: direct@rightmedia.com. We’ll give you credit just the same. Thank you.

Maybe some fodder for thought would be to think of 1) RMXD key words and 2) the ideology of RMX Direct and the Right Media Exchange as a whole (transparency, fairness, efficiency, innovation etc).
For example - a t-shirt idea I have been mulling is thinking of RMX Direct in terms of the words “The Exchange� (across the chest the shirt says “The Exchange�) and designing a t-shirt where two dark, secret agent type figures are slyly “Exchanging� a briefcase that’s entitled “RMX Direct�.
On the back, the RMX Direct briefcase has been “Exchanged� from the first secret agent to the second and RMXD’s URL is on there somewhere.
This is just some insight into how we’re viewing this task. We’re really opening the door for creativity and design; we know very well that our users are creative a smart folks so we would love to see what direction some of your ideas/designs can take us in!

How about something that looks a little like a tag cloud in the background made up of the domain names of those participating in the beta and then the rmx logo in the front centre joining all the domains together?
I quite like the idea anyway!!! Anybody else?

Great idea! I can see how that really represents the RMXD ideology.
We’ll definitely add it to the queue!
Hopefully we’ll continue to get some more thoughtful input like yours Shaun; you’ve set the bar pretty high.

I’m no artist myself but I have seen the results of some competitions for tshirts run over at threadless and they are almost always stunning
