Save 6 Music: A call for designers

4 March 2010

Elbow's Guy Garvey's show is on Sundays 10pm-midnight

Ladies and gents, we’ve been so impressed with the letters in defense of our favourite radio station that we’ve had the privilege of reading. The 6music listeners who came across our request to be copied into emails have been an overwhelmingly articulate, passionate and polite bunch.

Wouldn’t it be great to be able to wear our support proudly emblazoned across our collective chest, or pinned proudly to our lapels?

Thusly we’re asking you to submit designs for “Save 6 Music” t-shirts and badges. We’ll then present the designs online, ask you to choose which ones we should produce in bulk, then get a load made up and sell them as cheaply as we can manage through some sort of online shopping wizardry.

I for one think it’d be just lovely to be able to spot like-minded people in the street. After all, we’re all in this together.

Send any designs to savesix[at]forfolkssake[dot]com.

    Howies have just produced one at the link below. It’s organic cotton but it’s £25. I’d rather support the campaign with my cash if anyone is doing it?

    Hi guys, was just forwarded this link by one of our ‘army’ that we’re building. We rustled this site up yesterday – http://www.savebbc6music.co.uk – with the intention of selling charitable profit badges and getting a petition together. Will try and develop the site further – our next plan was to post the PSD artwork of the badge so people could make their own merchandise from it. Will post it here as well when it’s ready.

    Great work, let’s keep this going…

    Further to my post above (having re-read it!!) – can I clarify that ‘Charitable Profit’ means that any profit will go to charity – The Youth Music Trust… Cheers!

    Your own ‘one nation’ logo would make a fab t-shirt. I’d buy several!
