The Mozilla Community Store is here!
Note: I just announced the launch of the Mozilla Community Store on the Mozilla News Blog – crossposted below. Special thanks to the amazing team that helped make this all happen: John Slater, Ryan Doherty, Alex Buchanan, Mike Morgan, Aravind Gottipati, Stephen Donner, Melissa Shapiro, Catherine Brady, Harvey Anderson, Mark Surman, and of course – our partners over at Zazzle.
This morning we announced the launch of the Mozilla Community Store, a new open source approach to our t-shirt creation process that allows anyone to submit their original designs and make them publicly available for purchase.
The Store gallery is comprised entirely of community-generated art from around the world, all of which can be fully customized through Zazzle — a leading on-demand retail platform offering customization tools to help you create products fitted to your unique personal style. The process is pretty straightforward and there are lots of options to choose from, including:
- Over 400 apparel products including basic t-shirts, sweatshirts, and tanks.
- Styles covering women, men, kids, and baby.
- Detailed size charts that range from XS – 6XL.
- A wide variety of shirt colors.
- Scaling and repositioning of the design on the shirt.
- Adding custom text and other images.
- And more!
The Mozilla Community Store was inspired by the Firefox 3 t-shirt design contest, which resulted in a large pool of really impressive designs and a demand to make more of them available for print. We’ve seeded the Store with 60 of the best submissions from the contest, and are excited to see the collection grow.
You can contribute designs at any time through the upload tool on the site. Send us high resolution PNGs or JPGs of your best work, and make sure to enter your name so that we can give you full credit. We encourage you to be creative, but design concepts should generally be based on: Firefox, Thunderbird, SeaMonkey, Camino, Bugzilla, Sunbird or Lightning. Please read the Guidelines and FAQ for all the details.
In support of the launch, Zazzle is offering 20% off purchases through December 25th. Enter the special promo code MOZILLAMERCH at checkout for the discount…happy shopping!
