• Oh boy, me first! I vote for USB Banana!
• bananusb! thanks squid!
• Sock monkey gets my vote. second third
• third the banana usb thing!
• I vote for the 2nd to last "The Internets" with the bananas.
• I like the flying monkeys (here) and the (ring, ring, ring....) banana plug in that order. I will however take whatever comes out of this, as long as it is reasonably priced.
• My money's on Velvet Filter (Monkey Underground?) v 4.
• naner-plug!
• Can we still add new designs? I'd take a swing at it.

• shit I'm sorry that's so big...actually I'm sorry in general
• I'm going to write a script one day that puts stupid and/or inane and/or redundant comments in tiny, tiny writing. Tiny. Very small.
• 1. Monkey and the moon 2. Compomise Logo with USB Bananna 3. Turkmenbashi
• A toss-up between USB Banana v1.0 and Sock Monkey. Are these being screenprinted? Because I doubt a lot of the designs will work well with screens.
• 1. Plegmund's Victorian monkey design 2. Turkmenbashi 3. Magritte-monkey design
• 1 - bananaplug #1 2 - bananaplug #2 3 - MoFi LoGo
• another vote for the banana plug.
• 1. Original Logo 2. Magritte monkey 3. Monkey surfing kittens There's really not a dud in the bunch. perhaps the sales will help Tracicle keep this mad house running. ObCocteauTwins: You're the match of Jericho, that will burn this whole mad house down...
• And another vote for the banana plug. (I also think it's the only one that will print well)
• Ooo, pretty pluggy banana on pretty brown with flying monkies. Mmm, pretty.
• Is there any way the back could be covered with taglines?
• BANANA USB Not only is it a clever design, it is, I think, the most aesthetically pleasing. Also, the color scheme is very 70s which appeals to me. That's my vote. The sockmonkey comes a close second, if only for a personal in-joke reason, something to do with socks.
• HEY CAN WE STILL ADD NEW ENTRIES? YELLING BECUASE OF NO RESPONSE! HEY MONKEY! HELLO!
• Banana USB too.
• Was I supposed to vote here or there? I voted "yes, I will buy one of whatever you pick".
• No you cannot add new entries.
• I have no authority to make that determination, I just felt good sayin' it.
• I'll say no to new entries right now, BUT hold onto it for next time. We might be making headway at last.
• 1. Sock Monkey 2. Banana-Plug The artsy (magritte?) one is pretty cool except I don't like the graphic on the computer or the writing. I think on the back there should be list of all the best "MonkeyFilter: blah blah blah" quotes.
• Any artist's out there? Here's my concept (drawn cartoon style): Front end of a car with it's hood (bonnet) up. The engine compartment is filled with yellow bananas. A dialog balloon points offscreen to the (unseen) mechanic who says: "How long since you checked your FILTER?" Underneath: "monkeyfilter.com" Two colors for screen printing: black & yellow (three colors if monkey filter is in the trademark blood red).
• Totally bananaplug v1.0. It's all suave and simple and I bet it'll print up nice.
• Another concept: A big banana with a mouse and keyboard plugged into it and just the words: monkeyfilter.com
• If you GIS Monkeyfilter, on the first page you get this, this, and this. All of which make fine logos. I vote fer bananaplug v1.0
• Banana plug with the More bananas less flinging on the back.
• Banana USB.
• I have to vote Banaplug, though I do love Plegmund's Victorian monkey. But on a shirt? Gotta go with Banana USB.
• I vote YES too.
• Banana USB. I'd really, really like a Turkmenbashi T-shirt too, though.
• YOU WANT STRANGERS TO KNOW YOU COME HERE WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU PEOPLE DUCK TALES WHOO OOOH!
• Ring ring ring ring ring ring ring - Bananaplug! sorry, got kind of confused there. is this still a vote? one size L bananaplug, thanks. for external use only.
• One preorder for Bananaplug, any version. Oh no! Where did my claim ticket go?!
• Bananaplug, usbanana, whater it's called. Might I put in a request for a right breast placement, rather than a huge banana in the middle of the shirt? Or even left breast placement, just to be wierd ...
• USB Banana for me, please.
• Oh man, this is very hard!! I LOVE the sock monkey--love the color choices but I am happy with the simplicity of bananausb. Either one are good choices. PatB had a suggestion on the original thread about posters/mugs as another option.....Anyone look into that as well, or do we start with this and see how it goes? Anyway, the sock monkey would make an awesome poster!! Pleg's design would make a great mug!! I would love to have Turkmenbashi design as either T-shirt or poster (for posterity at the very least!) and that 'gangsta' one is a scream!! First time I had seen that one. Anyway, I guess, if forced, I have to go with; 1) Sock Monkey 2) bananausb 3) turkmenbashi/Pleg's design (toss-up) thankyouverymuch
• also, could we have bigger pictures of the remaining applicants at the end so we can take them to cafepress if we want?
• I'm lovin' the monkeyusb a lot I'm also lovin the Magritte Monkey I like the Velvets Monkey but don't know why Monkey is hyphenated - I'd like it a lot more if it wasn't
• Probly hyphenated to match the three-line title of the original VU album cover.
• Sock Monkey
• Banana USB
• I've just found this totally by chance which appears apposite! They do a 'Bacon is a vegetable' T shirt. How cool is that?
• i'll wear anything. or nothing.
• Argh, mine eyes! Someone buy SideDish an XXXL teeshirt.
• bananausb
• #1 usb banana (I like the flying monkey logo on the back) #2 sock monkey
• I like the very first one - bananaplug! Or, the one that says the internets, the banana is curvy & mostly yellow.
• I vote for the sock monkey logo. Not trying to complicate matters, but did anyone look into coffee mugs?
• What about the n3kkid pic of Tracicle? Isn't that a design? Or wasn't I supposed to mention it?
• USB nanner looks Monkeylicious to me.
• By that, I mean it gets my vote.
• BANANA PLUG
• I like Count Banana von USB.
• USBanana, 'bashi, sockmonkey. if at all possible, not on a white shirt. And a big hurrah for all the designs. Super-talented monkeys all.
• Now THIS is looking like a mandate: usbanana! plug me, MoFi!!!
• Nostril's correct: 3 lines to match the original. And it sure looks like bananaplug to me. Which version? I prefer the first one.
• I'm thinking the bananaplug with the flying monkeys on the back.
• banana-usb. I came late to this party, and I gost a few ideas of my own. Someone set up the next MoFi Shirt Competition... STAT!
• Are we voting here or the other thread? in any case, my (jb) vote would be for banana-plug/usb (note - also in the other thread. Sorry for confusion). I like that, very simple and clean.
• I think at this stage it's reasonable to say that the bananaplug has the current lead. I'm waiting to see what we end up with in terms of printers, but I'm think we do this once a year, given interest, and each year we reintroduce the designs that didn't make it from the year before as well as bringing in new designs to vote for. I have a plan for the current batch but it depends on a couple of things yet.
• Ah, tracicle has spoken. I'd voted in the other thread, but it was for the putative winner anyway, the bananaplug. One person, one banana.
• tracicle's official press release for the lazy among us.
• uh, we're all lazy.
• I'd have to pay by direct debit. I don't have a credit card cos they don't give them to cripples like me.
• sign me up for batch the first. the money's on the fridge.
• I want one of the first batch too, but I'll have to mail in a money order. I too am a cripple.
• I am not voting, since I contributed a design and I like them all. I would like to get in on the first batch of printed shirts. Let me know the details for sending the cash.
• BTW, I'll pay extra to get USER# 666 printed on the back of mine.
• I'll be getting a UK credit card soon, so I'll put in my cash. Just tell me when and where.
• Well Tracy, even though I HATE paypal, perhaps you should get an account so people without credit cards can easily transfer funds to you. Also, if needed, I can check with the company that did the t shirts for that hamburger stand I am trying to save from the wrecker's ball (Save Irv's Burgers) to see what sort of price they can give us. Hell, if I can get the other LA monkeys to help, I'll even help ship them from here.
• I won't vote, as I'm biased. I would, however, like to get in on that first t-shirt wave action. Just an FYI: Should be bananaplug design be chosen, whoever is handling the shirt order can just email me (it's in my profile)& I'll shoot the file(s) out in whichever format your printer needs... Oh, and since its been mentioned (and I had this thing laying around), here's a design suitable for a coffee mug, maybe: mofi mug thing. If kids want to do it, we could cafepress it, with the proceeds going to Tracicle for bandwidth...
• If the mugs are cheaper, I might go for one instead of a shirt, actually. I think the bananaplug thingy works better on a mug than a shirt, myself.
• I give my vote of confidence to the MoFiLA posse to get this sorted out proper! and I'd like in on the first batch, can send money any way feasable.
• I'm in for the first batch. Where do I sign?!
• I'd love to be in the first batch, but not if a Paypal account is gonna be required. I'd love to get one, and I can pay just about any other way, just not Paypal. But if credit cards are to be used, just point out where to use it and I'm in.
• I'll forward a money order or transfer anyway or where. I suppose we all could iron-on our own names on our shirts. *can't wait*
• Fuck, all these ifs, ands and butts. I can do paypal or credit card, cash or gold bullion. I'm obviously on board for the first batch, otherwise I wouldn't have posted this thread. Tracy, let us all know what the costs are going to be on another FFP and then we can either paypal you or mail it to you or send you our credit card info. Like I said, if we get them done here in Bushlandia I will volunteer if other LA monkeys help out.
• *bananas for squidranch*
• I'll direct debit Tracy cos I don't trust any other of you recalcitrants.
• Also its gonna be hella cheapa for Tracy to send a T-shirt to me from Kiwiland cos I live in Australia. It won't cost me *quite* so much, particularly in light of the fact that some of my medicine costs 45 bucks a packet.
• Actually, I think the thing to do is to take all orders, then send the appropriate amount of shirts to a local monkey in each of the major areas (Europe, Australia/Asia, USA/Canada) who can distribute them from there. I'm guessing we could save a hell of a lot on postage that way. I can do USA but I require the skills of space kitty, sexyrobot and mandyman to help. Knowing us, we'll make it a party anyway. American monkeys, don't be suprprised if your t shirt smells distinctly of scotch when you get it.
• Hey, can we do the shirts in scratch and sniff?
• Well, if it's the smell of bananas, hell yes. If it's the smell of a monkey's arse, no.
• Can you just skip the t-shirt and send me the scotch? Lowland, please, nice and peaty.
• koant sent me a scratch and sniff card. I've been very restrained; I've only scratched it three times so far.
• Nostril, the downside is that NZ-printed t-shirts are going to cost more than US-printed, so by the time you count shipping it'll be about the same anyway.
• Add me to the first batch group, please. Also, I want it all; T-shirt, coffee mug, posters, etc... and I can do credit card, M/O, whatever.....
• I'll look at Paypal. Another option that I hear tell about is having a bank account that a credit card can pay directly into - something I will also look into. But yes, let's get some prices and go from there. Does anyone feel like hunting down someone local to them or online, showing them a copy of the bananaplug design and see what price they ask per shirt? It looks like my local printer will do it for roughly $20NZ plus shipping. But the shipping is the killer.
• I'll look into it on my side Tracy. I'd also like to suggest that whomever orders a shirt be required to have a photo of them taken with it and post it to a thread (once all shirts have been shipped and recieved).
• Also Tracy, I'd like to have a rough estimate on how many shirts we will want to have printed. A breakdown of sizes would be good too. I'm guessing that we only want large, extra large and XXL. I'm thinking that we should post something FFP for orders and see how many real commitments we will get. That way I can get pricing on the true amount. BTW, there is a set up cost for real silk screen that is a one time charge, and then if we get re-prints the per shirt charge will be less.
