CCC apparently also stands for California Community College, Center for Computational Chemistry, Clean Clothes Campaign and Carbon Copy Cloner. :nice: I think we'll be OK. Acronyms are reused all the time. I appreciate your concern, qwerty. If there ever was a problem, we could just drop the CCC part and still refer to ourselves as the Coldplaying Charity Club. And yeah Tracie...all that publicity wouldn't be a bad thing!! :sneaky: /goes to leak word of our infringement to the press....

From a previous correspondence with Debs, we were told that: To me that means that we can't use their photo, period. It's a shame that we have such limitations, but we can still get creative. If you have a design idea that you want to run by Debs first, we can try to contact her (a most difficult thing to do) and get a stamp of a approval before you spend hours working on it.

Thought this would be a good place to point out that CP.com shirts are in the works. Partial proceeds will go to CCC projects.

Bump!

Woo! Happy Birthday, Kara! :joker: Er, just pretend that says 20. :lol:

I apologize that I haven't had a chance to update the first post. I will try to clean it up sometime this week. This thread has been quiet for quite some time, but I'd like to see it still be used as a place to bounce around CCC project ideas. Feel free to participate!

It's really awesome of you, Julia and Rolle, to want to donate. Rolle, if you have a credit card, you can donate. It is not necessary to sign up for a Paypal. The button is hiding at the end of the page. Take a look: Julia, I wish there was another way to send in money. All I can recommend is to explain the charity project to a friend or parent with a credit card, and ask them ever so nicely if they wouldn't mind donating on your behalf. If they are hesitant, they are more than welcome to email us at [email protected]. Hope that helps, gals! :nice:

lol, I totally missed that! :lol: And ok, Yammy, sounds good. :)

No worries! Feel free to throw out any ideas about how you want this store to function. I'm just here to facilitate. :)

I was thinking that at the end of every month, we can vote for our favorite designs to add to the store, that way we can keep adding new, fresh designs for people to purchase. I think 4 weeks is enough time for people to produce some quality designs. In this case, the first deadline can be set for the end of March. It may be adjusted depending on how it goes (and how motivated people are). ;)

ATTN: Calling all artists!! Visit this thread if you are interested in designing a Coldplaying.com shirt for thousands of CP fans all over the globe to wear! :D Put that talent on a T-Shirt! :)

Maybe you can record yourself from your phone and send it to your email? Or record it from your camera? :idea2:

I'll myspace bulletin it as well :nice:

I think Tracie is considering using Cafepress as a means to sell the albums. The production, label printing and shipping would all be taken care of by them...meaning a lot less fuss!

Thanks Yamfox for kicking it off. :nice: Cool design too! Looks very 'technological' (for lack of a better word)...what better way to represent an online community/forum? More designs anyone?

Theme can be whatever you want it to be, as long as either Coldplaying.com or the Coldplaying Charity Club are referenced in some shape or form. Be as straight forward or as abstract as you want! I think we have to stay away from making purely "Coldplay fan" shirt designs as it would probably breech some sort of copyright....this means, we have to stick to referencing ColdplayING. (If anyone thinks I'm wrong about this, please correct me!) Have fun with it! :)

LOL :laugh3: Yes, discretion is key....

Lucky you! Have a wonderful time!! :thumbsup: What did you have to do to win the Meet 'n' Greet?

Thanks for that info, Tannie! Added it to the first post. Hope some designs start showing up in the next few days.... :wink3:

I also believe in prochoice, but when an individual has made so many bad choices to begin with, are they really in the right position to make the right choice about the baby? In cases such as this, I think the girl should ultimately have the final word (it is her body after all), but not before an extensive educational course on what being a mother is all about. Young mothers need to know exactly what they are getting themselves into before they carry a baby to term....

True, but they didn't play it all that frequently during this tour, did they? I would have been thrilled to hear What If at the show I went to....it's one of my favorites. :nice:

I would like to anti-join your anti-club. :P Mission: KILL THE CLUBS. Arrrghhgh... /runs away from the lounge

what if, sparks and green eyes......you lucky kids, you! :stunned: :)

Post T-Shirt designs here: http://www.coldplaying.com/forum/showthread.php?t=38032

Coldplaying.com T-Shirt Designs Making Coldplaying.com / Coldplaying Charity Club shirts is an idea that has been talked about for eons, so I think it's time we finally make it happen! I've opened a Cafepress.com store for us, so all we need now are designs. DEADLINE TO MAKE FIRST ROUND OF VOTING: END OF MARCH MAX. 2 DESIGNS PER PERSON/PER MONTH PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY: Cafepress has several design optimization suggestions that we should follow for best printing results: - 2000 x 2000 pixels - 100 - 300 dpi (200 is suggested for quality and upload efficiency) - RGB color mode - Any white in your image will show as the color of the fabric - Accepted file types: PNG - Portable Network Graphics format is our recommendation for image uploads. It is a completely loss-less compression and gradients come out much smoother than JPG imges. (Max size 4MB) JPG - JPG's support over 16 million colors, but slightly "distort" the image to compress the file size. (Max size 7MB) - Not supported or recommended file types: PSD, TIFF, BMP, AI, EPS USE THIS TEMPLATE (2000 x 2000 pixels; 200 dpi) AS A GUIDE: - CLICK BELOW FOR FULL SIZE - Make your design fill as much of the template as possible. (from Cafepress) 1. Open template in your image application software 2. Add a new layer and create your design on the new layer 3. When you are done with your design, remove the original layer with the template 4. Save your image as a PNG - Remember, if you use images from the internet, make sure they are NOT copyright aka that they are in the public domain. - Until we get things cleared with Debs, stay away from using the Coldplay font and direct/unique lyric quotes. (i.e. "We live in a beautiful world" is OK, but "We live in a beautiful world, yeah we do, yeah we do" is NOT OK.) - Shirt designs MUST reference Coldplaying.com in some way.....but everything else is up to you! (It would breech copyrights to make unofficial Coldplay merchandise, so make sure your designs reference ColdplayING) We'd like some Coldplaying Charity Club specific shirt logos, BUT keep in mind that Coldplaying.com shirts will target a larger audience and sell better. - Post a resized copy of your design in this thread, and send a FULL SIZED copy of your design to [email protected]. - Keep the designs coming...at the end of each month (or every two months depending on how many submissions we get) we'll vote for our favorites to add to the store. Once we have enough designs to start with, we'll open the store "officially" and decide on prices (a portion of which will go to Oxfam charity projects). Have fun!
