Goal: Have someone on the internet (someone at Etsy, or someplace like CafePress) create some ≥2" pin buttons that have someone's preferred pronoun on them. Order a bunch, and sell them at GqC meetings.
cafepress-like places
- cafepress [2.25" = $4.50]
- vector images are NOT supported
- zazzle [2.25" = $2.50, 3" = $3.00] (bookmark)
- vector images ARE supported
- wackybuttons [2.25" = $0.75!!!!]
- yes, the DEFINITELY support vector images... in fact, it seems like they prefer that method
- yes, they allow colors, gradients, and more
- it seems ever-so-slightly oriented towards B2B... but their setup fees are extremely low (<$1), and they have no minimum orders
TODO - next steps
As of Thursday 2011-05-19, my plan is this:
- order some buttons from WackyButtons
- sell the buttons at GqC meetings at-cost (and make it very clear that it's a non-profit project)
- create a web area at http://paperlined.org/polished/buttons, and include: 1) links where people can order their own individually, 2) source files that people can download and modify, in case
