Boogie Ninja

Why Boogie Ninja? Because we can. And we did!

Apparently our ninja fetish has not yet subsided here at Unimental Designs. We've been hard at work getting ready for the holiday season and tweaking the shop over the past few weeks. So "hola" and thanks for reading, as always.

New Shirt Color!

Hey now, the dilligent folks at Cafepress have released the new Cardinal T-Shirts today. We think it's great to have a new canvas to work on, especially with white ink. Click here for an example of the "Player One Gamer University" design on this new color.

New merchandise is always a butt-load of fun for us shopkeepers. Though we will say that "cardinal" looks more "crimson" than we expected. No complaints, just an observation. We've already started updating the various sections of the shop to reflect the change, so feel free to stop by and peruse at will!

Ninjas, what else?

Well, whaddaya know... Unimental Designs has new ninja graphics. You might say we're obsessed with ninjas, but we prefer to say we're amused by them. Inspiration for ninja-related designs strikes often at our shop. We refuse to apologize for following our creative flow to fruition on such new looks as the Gaming Ninja Logo or the New York Ninjas dodgeball club.

The Gaming Ninja Logo looks sweet on either the Black T-Shirt or, in preparation for the cold winter months, a Hooded Sweatshirt. Fellow gamers (especially the retro gaming crowd) will easily spot the video game reference here. Wink.

As for the New York Ninjas, well, this was a successful attempt to merge our love of dodgeball with the mystique of "the ninja." Why not Boston or Tallahassee? Not sure, but New York just seems to sound right for our ficticious team. You may soon spot us wearing the Yellow Tee or the red-sleeved Baseball Shirt.

If this keeps up, we're going to need to dedicate a whole section of the shop to ninjas. Hmmm... that just may be the best idea of the year.

Unimental on the Wire

We're pleased to announce that today's edition of the Cafepress Wire showcases one of our popular designs from the early days of Unimental Designs. We call it "Powered by Ramen".

There was a pick-up in sales for this design in August, likely fueled by college students getting ready to head back to school. You may also notice that the "What's Hot" links on the left side of the CP Wire shows "college humor" as ranking high in the past few weeks, which sort of supports our theory.

Anyways, we're always happy to pick up an honor from CP. They've really been great to our shop over the past few months between newsletter features (Geek & Gamers, Ninjas, Earth Day) and "The Wire" (Fourth of July, Sudoku, Top Shop designation).

Enough chit-chat... it's time to get to work on more graphics. Perhaps one may end up being our next CP feature item. We'll keep you updated.

Hello Again!

We realize the blog has been lacking over the past few days, so we thought we'd stop by early on a Saturday morning and throw out a big Hola! to all of you wonderful people who have been starving for an update. Here's a quick rundown of our recent activities (of which there have been many):

- The new look of Unimental Designs has been live for over a week now and, following a few tweaks, is now complete. We've got some ideas on the back burner for the holiday season - stay tuned. A big thank you and hugs to all of our fans who provided feedback on our update. Now that the "new look" is official, this blog and the MySpace page need updates to establish a common theme. Hey, it's on the list.

- Plenty of new designs have been added, including the post pic, Dig U - Dept. of Archaeology. There's also new Retro Gamer and Ninja graphics. Stop by the shop for further browsing entertainment.

- The T-Slick daily Cafepress shirt award blog is settling into a smooth groove. Be sure to check it out often, or subscribe to the feed to ensure you don't miss any slick picks.

- August was a fantastic month numbers wise. Thanks for your help, valiant shoppers!

We'll be back with a new design later today. Until then, stay slick.
