I followed your link(s) thinking “Nah, here we go …” and waiting for the usual cringe to set in … but I honestly was unexpectedly impressed. Nice unobtrusive and not too heavy design.
I prefer the EndeavourOS stuff without the lettering, btw.
Small things, transparent stickers definitively… But it depends also a lot of the final aesthetic of the product, and at least for my country, of the shipping costs.
General question about your store (and redbubble in general): What percentage of the proceeds from each of the designs goes to the owners of the logos/designs?
EG: What percentage do Endeavour get from the merch on the store with their logo etc?
I’d definitely be up for a mug, mousemat or a T-Shirt!
Respectfully, perhaps that should be between @manyroads and the EnOS team, not for our general consumption. If they can come to terms, then we can all benefit, knowing that an appropriate and fair allocation is being honored.
Just my thoughts, and I mean no disrespect in this comment. Just thinking to respect everyone’s privacy.
@Sar To answer your question, these stores are a money losing activity. I have spend several hundred hours getting mine online and in a year made $80USD on redbubble. Store owners can not sell licensed products/ images unless they themselves own the license or the image is in the public domain (such as almost all Linux images are or those from Pixabay & pxhere). The best you can say for these stores (and my work) is that they are a courtesy to those who want such products. On my sites (one on redbubble and one on teespring), I have made a total of $150USD in the last 15 months.
This was an older post and I was looking into it, but then the Corona pandemic came and the people who I was talking to are out of business.
We will come with a merchandise line very soon.
Thanks for that @manyroads, was curious about how those stores worked, and if there had to be any sort of official tie-in or permissions granted by the Distro owners etc.
Pity it’s not as successful as you’d like, and hope it does better for you in the future!
It was just genuine curiosity about how those stores in general worked, as I’d imagine the profits per item would be pretty small, and dicing that up between various parties would drive it to the point where it’d perhaps be unsustainable.
Hi, @Sar. I truly meant no disrespect. It was an interesting and legitimate question, and I appreciated @manyroads willingness to answer, too.
Per @Bryanpwo’ s request, I have removed the EOS merchandise from my redbubble store (I never placed it on teespring).
Be aware there is other material for EOS on redbubble (and probably everywhere else you look).
The two of us who’re mainly working on it already have RPi4s but thanks for the offer; it’s very kind (note, at this stage I want to make it clear I’m just helping out; I’m not an EOS developer or what have you). That said, as I’m getting more involved I’m looking to get a hold of a few different SBCs to help support the effort moving forward as both my ARM boards are RPis (2 and 4).
Now you can get a sticker
Get it here
I would throw my money at a sweatshirt. If you guys want any die-cut stickers, I have no issue purchasing like 100 of them for the community. Let me know.
I think most of us can just picture where the EndeavourOS logo would be located.
What about a man-kini with sails to cover your precious?
The man of man-kini
Don’t think I am printing stickers for my own pleasure. They have been printed to make it possible to push some €’s at EndeavourOS team for they hard work.
Lol, I can never unsee what’s above.
Another sticker vote here, + mousemat, and also would need to reckon in the shipping. Good idea about Pi’s with Endeavour on too! (Never used one, but can definitely see the attraction).
Makes you want to glue your eyes shut.
Absolutely, stickers for my laptops. Especially to cover the Meta key with the EndeavourOS Logo, maybe a “Power By EndeavourOS” sticker to mimic the Intel and AMD CPU Stickers
