Continuing the discussion from Fairphone T-Shirts and more for the community.
Hi everybody! 
Some people stated that theyād want Fairphone T-Shirts with more than just the logo on them.
So letās share our creative thoughts! What have you got in mind? 
Cheers Stefan
PS: @anon90052001, I hope this will be interesting for you! 
Well ok, since I was surely one of them 
, here we go
I apologise but I am certainly not creative, so the slogan I had in mind was the already quite known āIf you canāt open it, you donāt own it.ā with an FP logo next to it or on the back to make the right connection - partly because I am not sure what ideas people might get if it is written on a T-shirtā¦
However, I am sure that more creative people than me are among us on the forum
āIf itās not a Fairphone, itās not a Fairphone.ā
I like the makerās manifest (āIf you canāt open itā¦ā) idea too. The shirt should not put Fairphone itself in the foreground, maybe just a little (but visible) logo is enough to relate to the project. I think it should feature an impulse to make others think about what it says and talk to the owner about it.
How about some words in the languages of the people who made the phone? This relates to the productās transparency and reminds people that phone production is connected to a global effort. It could be a simple word like āhelloā, āthank youā or something like āsustainabilityā (Go ahead and add ideas 
).
I know that this graphic (https://www.fairphone.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/11/Great-Recovery-Project-Periodic-Table.jpg) comes from the Great Recovery project,
but if it was possible to combine it with a kind of (updated) source map as in the blog post on the Tin and Tantalum Road Trip (https://www.fairphone.com/2013/11/08/tin-and-tantalum-road-trip/) and put something like āDo you know where your phone comes from - and how it will end?ā on the T-shirt, I think it would be a good base for discussion. And then put the FP and the Great Recovery project logo on it of course.
Ok, I admit that I fall for periodic tables
Seeing this, this idea comes to my mind: Take the shape of the marked elements, put it on the shirt, and above put something like āMake a guessā¦ā so people look at the shirt and ask you what itās all about.
Nice idea Just the shape or the symbols as well? I would prefer the latter because if not youād have to recall them yourself for discussion and even though I am a chemist, Iād need to concentrate a bit and might still mix up some of it 
Anyway, I think the riddle would not be much easier to solveā¦
Iām not a great photoshopper (gimper) but hereās something to give you an idea of what I roughly meant. 
EDIT: The text is just a sample, I do not believe this is a good text 
I like the idea, but I think āMake a guessā¦ā is too random. Maybe something along the lines of āGuess, where you can find all these elementsā¦ā
Just a sample text
Less is more 
The image works without the written question. Because if you donāt know it you will guess anyways. Especially since you can see the question mark on the right side (the yellow elements)
And no, please donāt put anything like āif you canāt open it you donāt own itā without any context / image on a tshirt / peopleās breasts.
Maybe we can even find more symbols in it and add those as translucent overlays or such
I think the fairphone project has a very strong marketing/pr team, they know all the tricks. Iām pretty sure they will come up with something if we donāt find a perfect solution for this 
But if you plan something like this I would try to only focus on the tantalum, tin, tungsten and gold (3T&G) P-table ālogosā and the fairphone logo (symbols on the back, little fairphone logo on the front-left āpocket areaā).
This will create more questions. I think there are even a āfontsā for the chem symbols out if needed. Donāt forget that the fairphone project has cooperative design&branding already going on for a loong time. So they can tell you the fonts, vibe, and colors needed.
(Update: But Iām not sure if after Breaking Bad one can still do this kind of design ā¦ ;))
Very nice!
Iām still trying to find something for: Ta = Tantalum, Sn = Tin, W=Tungsten, and Au=Gold.
Currently itās: tame snail, wing automatic!
Iām sure we will find something better, but Iām sure this will raise questions
How about
ā[W]u-[Ta]ng [Sn] da H[Au]seā (Wu-Tang is in da house)
I think thereās something called trademark
The unix way is a bit more safe 
but way too long to post ā¦
$ zegrep ā^ta|^sn|^w|^Auā /usr/share/ispell/american.*+.mwl.gz
Even for the more difficult ones like Sn and Au the list is too long. Thatās a good sign, I guess.
this (without the āmake a guessā) is still my favourite.
Possibly with the so-called Fairphone logo as a small bottom line on the rightā¦
FAIRPHONE
