***Favorite use for the Aquarium***

Hooked · 03-22-2002, 08:57 PM

Seeing the screen saver on HGTV the other day got me thinking. I also use the Aquarium in a unconventionl way. Last fall I built an 80's style arcade cabinet from scratch with a humble computer for the brains. When I'm not playing Centipede, Donkey Kong or Xevious, the Aquaruim graces the screen. I thought it would be fitting to start a thread to see how others have used it creatively (even for a cell phone wallpaper!). Jim, I haven't gotten it to work on the microwave just yet :-) Anyway, here's to ingenuity...

James · 03-22-2002, 11:18 PM

oh well....
I just use my printer to print out one my my favoriate screen capture of SSA on a special iron-able paper so that I can iron this great picture on my T-shirt.

so that I have a SSA T-shirt with beautiful fishes on it to impress my colleague in Uni...

btw, on it's back it has a table of all 21 fishes with name on it...
just like the back of CD case of SSA Box version......

hope this SSA T-shirt won't create another copyright problem
if someone feel so, don't worry.....it's only for my privete use...

I want one! On a heavy, black, long sleeved shirt ^_^

How much?

Lightfeather · 03-23-2002, 03:36 PM

Well,I don't think I have the right to sale it,
it'll extend the copyright problem since those graphics were create by Jim.
I can only print these on my T-shirt as private use.
sorry

May be u can DIY too, put them on ur cup or someting else that looks pretty with SSA

patscarr · 03-23-2002, 05:46 PM

I want one of those t-shirts! And a coffe mug too! Jim, you have to get your staff working on this right away! Selling SereneScreen T-shirts and mugs on your website would be a great aditional way to help make those millions for your upcoming movie. What an awesome Christmas present, the boxed CD version of the aquarium, and included for a small extra fee, a SSA t-shirt or coffee mug stuffed inside! I'd buy a bunch of those!

James · 03-23-2002, 05:59 PM

Selling SereneScreen T-shirts and mugs on your website

EXACTLY!
that's also my idea too, I just wanna express this point but Patrick said it all!!

May be some additonal SSA related product can be Lionfish editon T-shirt(I've got my own with all kinds of swimming figures of Lionfish showing off on my my back and chest...hehe..),SSA-cap(with SSA coral and clownfish), SSA-Bags etc.....

James · 03-23-2002, 09:03 PM

Here are some of my SSA related product samples
see the picture below

Again, any comment is appreciated

Quickest way to start selling T-Shirts and mugs. Anyone bought from them, how's the quality.

James · 03-25-2002, 05:58 AM

Jim and Morgan
Many people were asking me where they can buy those SSA T-shirt, mugs and bags as shown on above image,I told them I made them myslef, then they asked me to made some for them and sale to them.......and I dunno......

Am I able to sale those to people?

well......my peronal intention to sale them is not high anyway

Jim Sachs · 03-25-2002, 10:26 AM

Prolific has always planned on producing all these items. It just takes a while to ramp up production.

Here's how I'm displaying the widescreen - in HDTV!

BYW - the 'banding' in the image above is a result of trying to video the TV screen. When viewing the TV with your eyes - the image is perfect. (I'm using a VGA to Component converter and displaying a cristal clear 960x540 resolution on a 51 inch Sony HDTV).

patscarr · 05-16-2002, 12:30 AM

Jim, any news when the guys at the Prolific marketing department will start selling t-shirst and mugs with the SereneScreen logo, like in James' post above? Tell them to hurry up! I want to buy T-shirts, coffee mugs and boxed versions for everyone on my Christmas list.

Jim Sachs · 05-16-2002, 01:41 AM

No idea yet. I'll be going down there for a meeting next Tuesday and I'll ask them.

Yellow Tang · 10-18-2002, 03:52 AM

Any news about the t-shirts?

feldon34 · 10-18-2002, 11:47 AM

The quality from CafePress.com is abysmal.

Socrates · 10-18-2002, 01:27 PM

Did you get something? I have alwasy wondered what it would be like to actually order...

any chance of a closeup digital pic?

feldon34 · 10-18-2002, 01:40 PM

Maybe I spoke too soon. I know some of their stuff is iron-on transfers. Anyway, hopefully we get a reaction from Jim, SereneScreen, or Prolific soon about this.

Fans of something (like the Aquarium) want updates/new things so much that they will often take drastic steps to get them.

Let's hope we get some surprises before the Christmas season.

patscarr · 10-18-2002, 08:46 PM

James, I want to buy some of those coffee mugs and t-shirts. If I send you the money, plus shipping costs, could you send them to me?

James · 10-18-2002, 09:18 PM

Sorry Patrick
I've already give them away long long time ago and I didn't produce any coz it's quite a hassle
and believe me.....they don't seem as good as my picture above....
