[Discussion] 2020 Destructoid's Community ASCII T-Shirt

[EricWeichhart]

You may expecting Papa Niero, but it is I, EricW!

Remember that shirt we announced a few days ago? (I will just assume you read the title).
We ended with two drafts that you can see below! We wanted to hear your feedback, after all, it is a community shirt!

Spoiler: Uppercase Monospace

Spoiler: Lowercase Capitalize

It just need a few touche before it is finished, but it looks good, right? Thanks to our current tools, a lot of time was saved too!
HOWEVER...

An idea was introduced just recently: What if we use Destructoid's font instead? I said, sure, but there is a small problem: current tools won't work on a non-monospace font.

Spoiler: Uh...

Looks ugly right? Still, the idea is cool and we wanted to hear your opinion!
However, the Destructoid's font requires to do stuff... manually. That means the shirt will be delayed a bit, since the smallest fix could require restarting.

So the idea is to hear your feedback, and give you a choice:

• Hurry up, I like the design
• We can wait, love me harder

I can make a poll if you want, but that would add a "wait till poll closes" delay.

UPDATE!
This is the list of names we got. Be sure there are no typos!

[Lokhe]

Upper Case master race.

 

[RiffRaff]

I like lowercase capitalize the best. And second Nekro's motion for light grey font.

 

[Anthony Marzano]

I like uppercase. The Dtoid font one is hard to read.

 

[Tarvu]

I am glad somebody suggested using the 'dtoid' font, it would have been my first thought on it.

I'd love to see it finalised in the dtoid font, I've always loved using it and associated it strongly with the site. All the images are hard to read because they're low-res.

 

[Goemar]

Upper-case one is the easier winner for me. The Destructoid font one doesn't seem to be worth the work to do it.

 

[Zalno]

I'll always have a soft spot for the DTOID font, but I'll have to agree that it doesn't really work on a shirt. The uppercase variant is more visually appealing/legible.

 

[Gus TT Showbiz]

Uppercase!

 

[AtomicBanana]

Uppercase does look cleaner. The Dtoid font version just doesn't really look that good.

 

[EricWeichhart]

I updated the name list. Be sure to check if you didn't make a typo on the original thread!

 

[Dangus Taargus]

Uppercase. Also there's a typo in the names list. They should all be spelled: Dangus Taargus. All of them.

 

[Tarvu]

Between uppercase and lowercase, I would go for uppercase.

 

[Palvikinkku]

Deffo uppercase.

 

[maycausecancer]

Uppercase

 

[Seymour Demonica]

Puppercase!

 

[Seymour Demonica]

Also, hooray, I found me!

 

[keisal]

Uppercase

 

[EricWeichhart]

Someone really special gave the idea to give it a more matrix-like look. What do you think?

Spoiler: SURPRISE!

 

[Seymour Demonica]

Holy fuck I like that.

Perhaps make it an alternative color choice? Either way, I'd probably get that one over the black/white.

EDIT: Bright green is the way to go, m8.
