Update #10: Started to Ship NounShirts!

Posted on March 16, 2011

Dear Supporters,

We've started to ship your NounShirts!  We're shipping them as soon as they get packed, so you can expect to get yours within about a week for Domestic, and up to two weeks for International.  Attached is a fun little diagram of where our NounShirts are headed in the U.S. and around the world.

Also, we've updated some more pictures of the NounShirts to Flickr:

Remember, if you didn't submit your order by the February 4th deadline for Round One, then your NounShirt will be printed during Round Two following the March 31st final deadline for submissions.

Thanks for your support, and we hope you love your tees!

      Great quality, love the t-shirt. Of course, the first thing my girlfriend said was that the print already was ruined in the wash.. But I like it. Subtle, yet visible.

      Thanks!

Update #9: NounShirts - Check Them Out!

Posted on March 12, 2011

Dear Supporters,

We're spending this weekend finishing up printing the symbols you selected on the NounShirts, so that they will be ready to ship this week!

Remember, if you didn't submit your order by the February 4th deadline for Round One, then your NounShirt will be printed during Round Two following the March 31st final deadline for submissions.

While we finish up your orders, we wanted to share with you some of the shirts we've printed, maybe you'll spot your NounShirt in the batch?

Check them out on our Flickr page:

Update #8: Search & Categories are here!

Posted on February 24, 2011

Thanks to the generous support from our Kickstarter backers, The Noun Project has launched Search & Categories features! www.thenounproject.com

Staying true to our mission of sharing our symbols in a fun and meaningful way, we’ve spent a lot of time focusing on the design of the Search option, making sure it’s simple and fun to use. We’ve also made some upgrades to the overall user experience of our site, for example you can now scroll through all the symbols while viewing them in the pop-up shadow box.

Looking for ideas? Check out our Categories collections. Some of the categories we’ve included are Transportation, Technology & Communication, and Safety & Warnings, just to name a few.

A big thank you to all of our Kickstarter supporters who saw the true potential of The Noun Project from the get-go! We will continue to develop and grow the site while keeping the symbols we share with the world free and of the highest design quality.

Enjoy, and share with your friends,

;)

      @Rick: I spoke with our manufacturer yesterday, the NounShirts are cut & stitched and just went into the dye house. We expect to get them back next week, then they're off to print! We're hoping to start shipping week of March 7th.

      @Ruth: They're not all Public Domain, there are some Creative Commons Attribution in there as well, but I like your idea! Need to think it over and discuss with our developers. Thank you :)

      @Sbschenker: We're printing them right now as we speak! We started printing them last weekend after getting the tees back from the dye house, and are continuing to work through today and tomorrow. They will ship this week. I'll upload some of the NounShirts we've printed on Flickr and do an update soon.

Update #7: NounShirts Update

Posted on February 15, 2011

Dear Supporters,

We wanted to give you an update about your NounShirts. We’ve submitted the first run of NounShirts to be processed at a local textile factory here in Los Angeles. The shirts are made from scratch to give them a super comfortable, stylish fit. Our friends at Hozell are making a behind-the-scenes video of their production process, we will share it with you as soon as it’s ready.

The factory is currently cutting the fabric per each size’s pattern, stitching the shirts, and dyeing them using organic dye in a deep gray color. Since our first run included close to 400 NounShirts, it will take the factory about 2 weeks to finish making them. Once we receive the shirts from the factory, it will take us about 1 week to print each NounShirt with the symbols you selected. Then it’s off to the post office for the special delivery!

We’ve also been busy finishing work on the Search feature. SimpleScott and his team of developers are doing a phenomenal job of creating something much greater than just a generic Search box. We’re really excited to share it with you soon :)

Thank you for all your support,

The Noun Project

Update #6: Final Call for This Round of NounShirt Orders!

Posted on February 1, 2011

Dear Supporters,

Although we're still waiting for about 50 backers to get back to us about their NounShirt orders, we've decided it wouldn't be fair to the rest of those who supported us to wait any longer. Therefore, we've decided that we will have to do two separate orders of NounShirts.

IF you have not yet submitted your order, please please please do so by this Friday, Feb. 4th. If we don't hear from you by end of the day on Friday, your NounShirts will have to be made during our second run, date to-be-determined.

For those of you who have already submitted your order to us, thank you so much and we're sorry about the wait!

Thank you,

The Noun Project
