     What a quality move. Gee, I *must* be working for a different
    company.
    
    
    -Mike Z.

	Lands End? I've never heard of them, where do we get their catalog?

	Rick C

	

    Lands' End is one of the biggest mail-order firms around.  Mostly
    clothes and such items.  They also have a seperate home items catalog.
    
    As the base notes mentioned, call the 800 # for a catalog, or
    800-356-4444 (the consumer catalog #).  Available 24 hours a day.

I can attest to the quality; I got one of the original Alpha logo (the
"electric" one) shirts from Dave back around 1993(?), and it's still
in great shape.

/harley

    
    	Can anyone describe the Alpha Logo as contained in the base note?
    
    	I got a customer where the golf shirts could be a big deal (like
    	selling them TurboLasers)...
    
    
    		the Greyhawk

The AlphaGeneration logo consists of the words ALPHA GENERATION as if
printed on a circular ribbon that is tilted away from the viewer some 10-15
degrees towards the lower right.  ALPHA is on the top segment of the ribbon
(starting at about 11-o-clock and ending at about 2-o-clock) and is in
white superimposed over a red horizontal bar.  GENERATION is on the "inside"
of the ribbon in red starting at about 7-o-clock and ending where ALPHA ends
just touching the bottom of the red bar.   Of course, a red TM is there as
well.

Not the flashiest logo in the world, but simple and recognizeable.

    Glad to see these available, but these logos sound tiny.  How about
    sweatshirts with the digital logo, say 8 or 10 inches wide
    across the front and back?  It would look nice on a grey background...
    

    Thanks, Steve -
    
    	How big is the logo (in inches, I guess) and is there a Digital
    logo available?
    
    		the Greyhawk

If you're asking how big the logo is on the shirt, I don't know.  Ask
David Corbishley (.0).

				Steve

    the size of the ALPHA GENERATION I have on my terminal is...
    1 and 1 quarter by 3 quarters of an inch.
    not very big

    
    	On a golf shirt that would be virtually unreadable. Of course, the
    reader would have to get *real* close, and.....
    
    	On the other hand, D I G I T A L in burgundy on a white shirt would
    be very noticeable.
    
    	Time to call Lands End.

>>                      -< You want to have it noticed... >-

Not always.  Some people prefer more subtle logos, especially on jackets and
polo or golf shirts.  (It's for them, not for the audience a hundred yards
away.)

						Brian

    
    	What good is a logo if you're the only one who knows what it
    	says?
    
    	If I wear an unordinary shirt it's because I happen to like it
    	and want to "share it" with others.  Comic tees, cartoon char-
    	acters, funny sayings [yeah, I know what you're thinking ...
    	is this guy EVER gonna grow up??  I think not!!  8^)], etc.
    
    	A guy I used to work with had a black T-shirt with a VERY small
    	white-lettered caption right around the left nipple which said
    	"Nosey little f*****, aren't you?".
    

>>    	What good is a logo if you're the only one who knows what it
>>    	says?

I suppose you could say the same thing about a lapel pin or a tie tack.  Or a
pen or watch with a company logo on it (or a picture of, er, the soon-to-be
Franklin elder care center), for that matter.  If you don't like it, don't buy
it; if I do, I will.

Would you rather wear a polo shirt with a little polo player on the upper left,
or a polo shirt with a huge "RALPH LAUREN" across it?  Some of us prefer the
former.  (I don't even know if you happen to like polo shirts, actually; that's
another taste preference.)

It doesn't bother me if you want to wear large logo items, but please don't
assume that everybody else likes it that way, and please don't assume that a
small logo is somehow "no good."  Please stop trying to convince me that my
taste is "wrong."

						Brian

The combined logo set measures as above.  Remember, this is the Digital logo and
the ALPHAGENETATION logo too.  It fits nicely on a wide rango of products,
shirts, luggage, etc.

Those desiring other sizes need to find a vedor and get Brand Management to
approve the design (spacing, etc. is important to them).

To keep notes clean, please MAIL request to NYAAPS::CORBISHLEY

    Nah, scan it and put it on a home page!!
    

You can see it through the Digital Artlibrary:

The ALPHAGENERATION logo pointed to in .18 is only part of the offering from
Lands' End.  This posted to prevent buyer confusion.

Right - I figured people knew what the Digital logo looked like, so I posted
a pointer to the AlphaGeneration logo.

				Steve

Lands' End, here as an offer for those needing less than 6 of an item.  This
offer expires July 5th, when I will place the order.  Item prices below are for

    What color is heather?
    

If you envision your standard very light gray sweatshirt, you'll be close
to what the tee- and sweatshirt makers refer to us "heather."

.21> Shipping is $4.95 to each U.S. address 
    
     Just to be sure, is that $4.95 per item or $4.95 per address?

    Just as it says, to each address.  They don't care if it's 1 item or
    100.

    
    Check is in the mail. Thanks for taking this on.

    I was recently at the Grand Prix of Canada of which Digital of Canada
    was one of the major sponsors. They had a tent set up at the track,
    which I never got around to, but I heard they had some nice jackets 
    for sale with the Digital logo and the Grand Prix logo in them.
    
    Does anyone know where I might be able to purchase one?
    
    Thanks in advance.

    You might contact Ron Catcheside@TRO (DTN 631-2115).  He is the
    Canadian PR/Events Manager and is involved in the Canadian racing
    events.  If these jackets are available, Ron should know.

    Regarding .27
    
    What Merk Crisco meant was he was driving around in an old Grand Prix
    
    drinking Canada Dry ....... (probably somewhere in Midfield down from
    
    the Fairfield Iron Works) ....... Yup ........
    
    Glad to see your still alive Dude ...... Later  

    RE: .27 I'd be interested too.
    
    That said, it's not too late to get your order in for the group
    purchase.  Shirts and sweatshirst going fine, need a few more orders
    for the canvas attache case though.
    
    David

I just spoke to Lands' End and they say the order shipped yesterday UPS 2nd Day
Air.  While I didn't check all items, it appears everything we ordered was in
stock and shipped.

You should see your items Monday, or Tuesday worse case.

David

    Mine arrived yesterday.  Extremely snazzy.
    

    A few years ago, during the depths of the slump, I sadly removed my 
    "I <heart> DIGITAL" bumper-stickers (I had two of 'em, one of which had
    the heart covered with an Apple logo... I had been in the Pathworks for
    Mac development group).
    
    This past weekend I happened across another "I <heart> DIGITAL"
    sticker... and -- sadder, older, wiser, but with a growing pride in our
    technology and our recovery, I trimmed off the "I <heart>" and affixed
    DIGITAL to my bumper once more.
    
    But it's a BLUE logo...  And :-) Burgundy would go better with my
    fire-engine-red bumper...  And I wouldn't mind counterbalancing it with
    an AlphaGeneration sticker...
    
    Do these exist?  Any spares around?  Mail me -- kalikow@ljo.dec.com --
    Tnx!

    To those that missed out, watch for a repeat of this offer in a few
    weeks.
    
    David

    Re: .37
    
    Will there be tshirts in the next go-round?  Or is that what the
    "mesh shirts" are?
    

    
    There was a "squall jacket" mentioned in .0, but not later. Was there no
    interest in this item? Do you have a description?
    

Please take any future order discussions to e-mail.

Thanks,

Bob - Co-moderator DIGITAL

Just to reply to the last few items:

1) No, I will probably not offer t-shirts.  I don't think they are as good a
value as the polo shirts.

2) Squall jackets just listed as an item that Lands' End sells.  I might add
this in the fall.  Feel free to form your own order of 6 at your facility.

3) Please send specific questions to me at NYAAPS::CORBISHLEY or David
Corbishley @KYO.

Thanks!
