Sorry for any inconvience that has ocurred yesterday - it was no evil planned spamletter-campaign. It was just the forgotten mailinglist olp2007 .. and this is what happens: One sends a spam (or virus) mail to the regarding mailinglist olp2007. After this a few people complain, want to unsubscribe and respond to the sender, which is the mailinglist address olp2007. Then of course this mail is sent to all addressees again, and again some people complain and want to unsubscribe. It’s called a “mailinglist echo” and is a very oldschool web1.0 issue - the only thing you can do about it is not responding and waiting until the admins delete the mailinglist. We are very sorry for this — I still have no idea where the mailinglist address leaked but we’ve deleted the olp2007 mailaccount after we got notice (and, well, of course still around 100 mails).

But then, we also do have good news: we have a cooperation with the guys of ZEIXS! Think of an OLP for Design-Books: You submit your Shirt Design and we will print it in a book! Everyone of you who runs a Spreadshirt Shop can submit his design and it will be printed (well, if we get too many entries we have to select of course). ZEIXS already has released 4 books last year on Graphic Design, Logo, Typo, and Illustration - and is not only looking for Shirt Designs but also ie CMYK, Characters, Letterheads&Businesscards - so make sure you check the site, maybe you want to submit some of your OLP stuff, too?!

The shirts are here! I can tell you: It was never so attractive to be a loser - I could imagine that even our finalists are eager to get one of these shirts. Check them out:


Send out to start soon.

Happy happy new year, all of you!

We have two short news: First, I wanted to tell you that we get closer! In this week we did some more trying and testing - we agreed on the typo and decided between one- and two liner. Currently we work on the rearrangements of the logo for our website and business units etc. So hopefully, we can expect the new logo until beginning of february.

Second: It seems that we can start to send out the OLP Loser-Shirts in the next week. I was also told they look very chicque and it was worth waiting after all the Christmas delays. Nothing is for sure yet, and this is just what the little birdies in the trees told me, but of course we will give you an update as soon as we hold them in our hands!

In the meantime, we could share and enjoy more predictions for 2008, for example this one by iA. What is your favourite one?
