First off, let me say that everytime I log onto the DBL site I'm still really taken with the logo. I think it is an awesome design and beautifully executed.

That said, it has been a while since this topic has been brought up. (Actually, it was in 2007)...so after three years,  I'm going to bring it to the forefront for discussion again. 

I would love to see black T-shirts or Black Polo shirts with the DBL Logo for sale on the site. If it was good quality and high end, I don't think there would be a problem with selling out stock. There are some vendors that do small quantities with embroidery. Anywho, I think they would be great conversation starters...don't you guys?

Any thoughts?

How about maternity sizes for those who have quickly expanding bellies?   

Really though, I would wear one once I could fit into it.  I think there would have to be ladies style t-shirts though, instead of the standard boxy (is that word?) ones.

Sorry DJM I wouldn`t wear one either. Partly because of the same reasons OMC talked about and also partly because I don`t like logos or labels on my clothes. I`ve even been known to cut them off the inside of things !

Above is the official logo. And I think we never got to this because David is swamped and I am swamped and so as a priority, it just did not happen. But it's a neat idea for those who wear logo apparel.

It is an excellent idea!

A small range of high quality merchandise would be cool. Some people will like t-shirts, some will prefer coffee mugs, pens, key rings, notepads etc. How about a mousemat?

A fair few people have asked where I got things (usually my hoops, they're been admired a lot) and when I tell them about the website, eyes tend to glaze over. Having something to show with the details would be useful. A notepad with the logo and website address on each page would be really good.

I'd love some nice coffee mugs. When I graduate and (hopefully) start work, I can set out my desk with my DBL mug, mousemat, notepad and pen so I feel at home straight away.  At the moment, all of these items advertise security services and CCTV system components, from a project I did for a police force. Time to update with shiny stuff!

Cool stuff!

I would like a black coffee mug with a pink diamond on it too. 

Thinking about this, I know of one vendor who has his actual logo available to buy as a piece of jewellery so maybe a polo shirt isn't too weird.

HA! 

Hey--I'd even volunteer to crazy glue a swarovski crystal where the "O" is in the logo. How cool would that be?

I`d love to see a DBL calender with a photo of a beautiful piece of jewellery or a stunning loose diamond on every month. What better to cheer a person and the logo could be loud and clear on every page.
Too late for this year but something I`d love to have on my office wall for next year.

Can I just say that this is the best idea ever?

and...it shouldn't be too hard to execute. (Narrowing it down to only 12 photos will be the hardest part of the entire project...lol).


 

I think a black coffee cup is doable. I'm wondering about an item that will fit in the box, though.

Thanks, but the praise has to go to Lynne on this one!   



I'm guessing WM is thinking about something that could be added to the UPS box with a jewelry purchase, but I'm not sure.

Annie is right. I was thinking a coffee cup would not fit in the boxes DBL uses to send. But a black koozie would.
