Announcing the Asymco Store and the first Asymco T-shirt
by Horace Dediu
In celebration of one year of Asymco.com, the Asymco store is now open.
I am extremely grateful to Michael Burgstahler of Two Tribes design for leadership in creating the first t-shirt design:
Based in the home town of Mercedes Benz and Porsche, Two Tribes has been in the creativity business for 18 years with clients like Ricoh, State Bank of Baden-Württemberg, Bosch and Siemens. They even built an app "Favorelli" and opened a little shop for home decoration.
This masterpiece, along with a logo only version is available now.

I think this is the first geek finance tee design I've seen. Too geeky for me to wear, but cool nonetheless.

That's a very cool shirt! My colleages would get upset if I wore it to work though.
How much is international shipping? I went pretty far through the checkout process but it didn't tell me.

Are the logo-only truly already sold out?

Was it intentional to look like meat and potatoes?
@twotribes ·
@Anonymous Coward: Um, "meat and potatoes?" Where do you see that?

$35 for a T-shirt? You have got to be kidding. Apple shares have not appreciated enough to pay for it.
asymco ·
That was a mistake. Fixed now.

Having a problem with the store shopping cart, it always adds the shirt size as medium, even though I selected large...
asymco ·
I'm trying to find the cause. Feel free to order as I will confirm size by email before shipping.
Azazello ·
Zune-brown? ;)) what about SteveJ- black?
aaplou ·
Great! I just ordered 4 for me and 3 of my friends. Will wait for your confirmation emails since 1 tried to order 1L and 1M and got 2M...
@twotribes ·
Well, fashion-wise, brown is the new black ;)
But maybe Horace could enable some alternate choices that go well w/ the design.

I want a shirt with just the asymco logo and horace's face on it. this shirt is too apple-centric. horace is the MAN!
asymco ·
The logo is available as a separate shirt (light or dark) http://asymco.mycafecommerce.com/product/asymco-l... https://asymco.mycafecommerce.com/product/asymco-...

Unfortunately from a distance many will think this is a rude t shirt... The design closely mimics the male member.
famousringo ·
Great design!
I'd feel like a jerk for wearing it, though. It's like flamebait on your chest, no matter how true it is.

Actually, it's $42.00 with shipping to US. I like the design and the site, but I don't think I can spend that much on a t-shirt. (though AAPL is up 6 dollars today so I reserve the right to change my mind! )

I resemble that remark!

One of my investment banking friends designed his own EBITDA shirt. Geeky, but when you earn enormous bonuses who the hell cares...
@Niilolainen ·
Is that a canoe in your pocket or did you just sell some AAPL stock?
KenC ·
Nice, though I kind of preferred the giraffe graphic. I know more colors cost more.
I would also just point out that American Apparel is the company where the CEO/Founder is being sued for sexually harassing his employees. His ads are barely beyond kiddie porn. http://nyti.ms/k7GGPQ
Also, they're on the border of declaring bankruptcy.
Jame ·
I'd pay the same price for a print of the graphic.

I love the t-shirts - am very tempted. I think I like the logo shirt the best, but is there any way to increase the size of the logo? Also, is there anything on the back of the shirt, ie a larger logo perhaps?
Similarly, would love to see some more designs...
Keep up the great work.
Jonathan

The logo may be a bit bigger than it seems.
Jan Jursa ·
Love it :)

Got my t-shirt yesterday. Thanks!
