This should answer all questions. If anybody has anymore, drop a message right here, send us a Myspace message, e-mail (redwetsecret@hotmail.com) or call, 610-5002.

PRICES:
100 buttons, any design, all colors: 20$
500 buttons: 90$. Add 3$ per 100 if you want them mailed (bulk orders we'll talk about). WE ALSO WILL DO TRADE! If you got anything good (We need some pedals, photography, etc). In town: Cash for hand-delivery is fine, or if you need to play a show to get it, no sweat. Out of town, or shy people: If you want them mailed I'll take a check for now (hoping to set up my PayPal here soon). It's 100 minimum for the first order, later orders by the 50 (same price per).

ART REQUIREMENTS:
On disk, 1 inch at at least 300dpi. On paper, 3 inch to 8 inch. Bigger is better!
THIS IS IMPORTANT!!: the main viewing area is closer to 7/8 of an inch, with an area on a slope, and an area on the edge. Keep it simple if you want it to be legible. High contrast is good. Iconic is good. ELECTRONIC: remember that your monitor is backlit, paper is not (we do use the best paper the press will allow). So brighten it up a bit to make it "pop". We can and will make adjustments, and work with you to make to look good. I suggest you shrink it down to 7/8 and print it out yourself to see it. This ain't the Sistene Chapel folks. SAVE THE TEMPLATE BELOW. Try to keep the content inside the grey area, and let the background color go all the way to the edge. If you need more tips or a more detailed Photoshop template let us know.



GETTING US THE DESIGN:
there are four ways:
1. e-mail attachment (redwetsecret@hotmail.com): Fastest. Pretty much any format works.
2. on disk: Any format. .psd is the best way to get what you want exactly; include the font and leave the layers.
3.on paper: I have a scanner, so no sweat. If you are a drawing-type person, or don't have the software this is fine. Ask for our mailing address, or drop it by.
4.have us do it: Special request only. If you just can't draw, have no friends, and don't know Photoshop. Give us the font, font name, or picture of a font you like and we'll try to match it. We can take a pic off your website too. We'll let you look at a few designs before we go ahead. Anything else and we have to charge you. Soon we'll be doing package deals with logo designs and shirts and websites, but not yet...

OTHER IMPORTANT STUFF YOU SHOULD READ:
1. Two weeks guaranteed. For hand delivery. Mail orders add a week. We're doing these first come first served, artwork first beats money first, so get that design to me! It actually takes about four days to two weeks, it depends. That's still a month faster than most button places. If you need them for something special, we'll rush 'em. Tours trump all. WITHIN REASON! It doesn't hurt to ask, but a hour or day is pretty unlikely.
2. We keep designs on file, so reorders are very easy. Reorders can be done by the 50. Reorders can get discounts sometimes, so let us know. Side projects and name changes count.
3. You can do more than one design! Up to 5. Multiple designs are just as easy, so you can split it 50/50, or 33/33/34, 25/25/25/25, whatever... you do the math. No extra charge.
4. I request that you put a link to our web page from yours. We will link to any page that buys buttons off us, so include your url.
5. We will keep at least 2 of your buttons for ourselves. One to display for promotional purposes, one to wear. We may give away additional extras for promotional and sample purposes. If this is not cool let us know.
6. Copyright stuff is a hassle. If you are ripping your shit off (in a satire way, I'm sure), a heads-up would be cool so we can watch our ass.
7. All profit we make goes back into the local economy. Keep your money in the scene!

Thanks!

I may just have to order some buttons here in the coming weeks... Once we get our logo running

Notice the dozen new buttons on the big pic. Amp Lab, The Unemploid, Creepshow, Mile Marker 12, new designs for The Foxx, Dirty Novels, and Unit 7 Drain.

You know, buttons aren't just for bands. Your business, a party, someone you want to piss off? BUTTONS.

also doing websites- check this one out:
Unit 7 Drain
Plus, you know... my own sites. Web sites have such a short shelf life... Somebody give me a fucking job already!

competitive prices!! so cheap, you will lose all respect for me!

Currently making buttons for Creepshow, King Of World Music, Shoulder Voices, and a web site for Feels Like Sunday.

Hey what up!?! I was reading this thread and was saying 'damn! that sounds like a good deal!'. Then I scroll down a little futher to the pic. of the different buttons that you've done and right smack in the middle of the pic. is our button. So..you're the one who did them, eh? I must say..I am EXTREMELY satisfied with their quality. I've been handing out quite a few at the shows lately, so we may need to place another order sometime in the near future. Again, KILLER work!! ~B~

Thanks!
And thanks to everyone who swamped me with orders these last couple of weeks. I made 2000 buttons last week alone, and just passed 10,000 total since I started. With the money I was finally able to order the better circle cutter (meaning even faster turn around) and some more supplies to get serious about screen printing. Plus, I paid my rent. So anyway, there is hope for the small business man who doesn't screw people over but doesn't have to get a real job.
Thanks again, Levi

Oh, also this: would anyone be interested in different sizes? I know 1 inch are the "hip" kind, but I might try to offer 2 inch if I think they'll sell. I'm not sure about availability of parts, but if it works out would anyone want them? Or some other size? I'm NOT making those 5 inch ones though: they just aren't cool enough.

I'd be intrested in both 1 and 2 inch button sizes. Do you have either available as of now?~B~

Not yet, just the 1 inch still. I've noticed other size presses on ebay kinda cheap, but I'm not sure where to get parts (replacement parts AND button materials). I'll only do it if I feel like I can make money off of it: If people want them, and how many I can actually produce to sell. I'll probably do it sometime anyway, but sooner if there is interest. It would suck to have the press and not be able to make any buttons... also I'd have to figure out what I could charge. It would probably cost more.
