Lets hear what you think. I know everyone has ideas for shirts/logos, etc, but if these were made availabe which if any, would you choose?

1) Asylum charter member
2) Asylum sunset
3) Both
4) Neither

After joking with Gerry about a Ken Kesey shirt, I was thinking one that said this:

I Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest
and landed in the Asylum
www.CigarAsylum.com (http://www.CigarAsylum.com)

edit: I'd pay good money for (several of) the color one.

The cost and effort to set up a charter member may not be worth the time and $$$. When does charter member end?

well, there are 980 members now ... might be worth it.

They would be a limited edition available for only a short period of time, if they were to be made.

For a tee I like the Charter Member
.

But the color one rocks as a poster or site flag!

But which one would I buy???

Maybe it's the golfer in me,

I like the setup on the left without the sunset background. I think it would look real sharp on a white mock with black lettering or black shirt with tonal lettering. Left chest or sleve placement...or both.

On a side note, I wonder how the logo would look on medical scrubs?

I'll second that.

I also think the CA logo would look sweet on a ballcap (white letters, black cap).

The colored pic would make a slick looking deck of cards for the poker players.

For a shirt, I think I like the first design better. However, I think it would look better if instead of just "Asylum" on the top line it used the "Cigar Asylum Haven for The Cigar Enthusiast" lettering like is in the banner.

I voted for the sunset one, since I love the design, But I would almost certainly buy any or all shirts if they were made. You have to have something to wear when herfin'! :D

By what process would you print the sunset one? I used to own a skateboarding clothing company, currently design everything for my wife's company and have a good deal of experience in the design and printing on clothing.

Heat transfers would be about the only way replicate it exactly but they wear off or crack after a few washes... screen printing is the way to go, but getting that picture to come out (along with the drop-shadowing on the letters and things like that) would be fairly difficult and certainly expensive.

The Charter Member one would be very simple and straight forward... plus, white shirts are very inexpensive.

What about a dye sublimation for the sunset? I've got a few of those that hold up incredibly well. Don't know if it can be done in any other color but white though.

BTW, I'm partial to the Asylum but would seriously consider the sunset as well.

Now that I look again, what about the Asylum logo on the front pocket area and the sunset full size on the back?

10-30-2008, 10:37 PM

i cant see how the sunset one would work as a small deal on the chest of a shirt...it would be cool for the back or front of a t-shirt. the asylum one would work on a golf shirt or a guabera(sp) would is what i would be interested in

Just playing around. It might be cool to transform it into a simple comic type image, and look very nice embroidered on a nice polo, (ash grey colored, of course... ;) )

I would think the colored one would offer more choices in the color of the shirt you put it on. But, I like the charter member as white on black, on the back.

I agree ^^^^^, the sunset design would look great on a white tee, but it needs to be screenprinted in 4 color process, getting good seperations then finding a good printer... and your done. The good thing about a design like that is you keep the film or art, and if you need more later thats a big expense you'll avoid.

The first tee charter member tee would be cool, print a couple hundred, limited ed.s "sewn with pre-embargo Habano seed cotton :D ... it works with the cigars, Keep it one or two colors screenprinted cheap and cool, print white on black, and black on white. one screen, easy.

I used to print a lot of tees.

One of each please. You could have the charter on the front breast pocket and the Club Asylum color design large and in charge on the back. Sweet.

just trying to catch up on the shirt issue, are the two pics here the only two or has it been narrowed down to these two? anyone used the IP addy as the inmate number? :confused:

No, they are not the only 2. These are just a couple ideas we came up with.

I'd like to see a tee with both the sunset and the charter member print.

Long Sleeve, something small on the chest left pocket (like Cigar Asylum and inmate under that) and the logo and site URL on the back. Perhaps a burning cigar centered under that. Some earthy tones, like brown, burnt orange, olive green, a dark grey, etc.
