Are you on the map?

The Fan District Hub’s map of the Fan, that is.

A snazzy new T-shirt with a map of the Fan District on the front of it is in the works. Fan District businesses are signing up to have their names and the year they opened (in parentheses) on the art that will appear on that soon-to-be silkscreened T-shirt (see rough/mock-up above).

The location of each of the businesses will be shown on the map by a number in a little box; then the name of each will be listed alphabetically under the map with the same number, as indicated in the mock-up. Once printed the Fan District map T-shirts will be selling at selected locations in the Fan District, probably about a half-dozen spots — only a business that’s on the map will be permitted to retail the T-shirts to their customers.

The same art as what’s on the T-shirt will also appear (larger than the illustration above) on a page here at the Fan District Hub. On that page the list under the map will have links for each of the places that has a web site.

The cost for being on both the T-shirt and the map here on this site is a one-time payment of $60.

For that rather small advertising fee your company’s name and location will be on all of the T-Shirts printed in 2007. And, for no extra charge you will get one of the T-shirts, too. Note: The names and numbers on the rough are just to show how the concept works. This is not the finished artwork for this year’s T-shirt..

  1. Oh, this is cool. I remember a Carytown version version of this idea from many years ago. It was a GREAT looking shirt. One of your best, in my opinion.

  2. Katey,

    Thanks.

    Yes, I did that Carytown map T-shirt and a previous Fan map T-shirt, too. Both were created in 1993 and they both went over well.

    This new model for the Fan will look a lot like the one from before. I hope it will be as popular.

  4. The vacation season — with so many people not available — slowed the pace down to a crawl last month. This month I’ve had work that had to be done on other fronts.

    So, the T-shirt will come out as soon as I can finish up the sales effort and get to the printer with the finished art.

    Have the Vick T-shirts sold well?
