Logo Contest: Deciding on a printer and products

LogoPage The winning logo is Anon #1's green state shaped logo. We need you to look into finding printing locations, prices, and products available to print on. So far we have information on the following:

-local print shop such as Superior Screeners. Probably would require bulk order. More details needed, someone please do some research.

-Printfection, bulk discount information available here. This was the source of the blue K-LUG shirt Tim brought to the Second Life March meeting.

-www.cafepress.com. Probably slightly more expensive, but would not require a bulk order. We've been warned they won't look great. For items that can be printed on, see Cafe Press. Tim has already done some research, see the following pages: 1 , 2.

-Robert Nix has a source for weaving the logo into items such as afghans, pillows, tote bags. 70 x 54 inch woven blankets of the logo for $70 each.

-Nametags??

-Other products or sources you've done some research on?
