Button Suggestions!

[CassieR]

Okay, last year at NDK, I sold buttons at my table (as well as my Otaku Survival Guide zines).

Getting ready for NDK this year, I'd love to get your suggestions on what you'd like to see button wise!

Ours are 1 1/4 inches.  We added some more Phoenix Wright for SC, and a lot more text buttons for AX, but what other kinds would you like to see?

As a refresher in our wares, we currently have Disgaea, TMNT, Phoenix Wright (10 different designs right now), Pokemon/Team Rocket, Excel Saga, Hannibal "the Cannibal" Lecter, and  a lot of 4chan jokes and memes, along with now some dating buttons and of course the ever needed "I love Yaoi."

So what else would like you to see?  Phoenix Wright characters you feel get neglected?  Slayers? Text buttons?  More of a show that we already have buttons for (our Excel Saga buttons are down to only having Hyatt died for your sins available now)

Since its hard to do commission at con, since its all digital, now is the time make some suggestions that you'd like to see.

Our current buttons are here - http://otakusurvivalguide.com/mastersheetbuttons.pdf

Buttons sold at $1.50

Oh, and the artist will not draw furries.  Don't even try to ask, you'll be glared down so fast you won't know what hit you.

Well personally, I wanted to make my own buttons that said Support Zack and Aerith, cause my boyfriend and I are cospalying as them, and I wanted to hand them out to people... but I'd always love to see any Invader Zim, I heart... otakus or anything really. But ya know what'd be really cool? If you made The World Ends With you buttons... like the ones they acutally use to play the game... but I don't know if any of these are... ok for you to make and sell...

[vic_fangirl]

Oooh do something about Otaku like Otaku are hot or something like that! Or D.gray-man or Gintama or Ouran High School Host Club!!

If you made The World Ends With you buttons... like the ones they acutally use to play the game... but I don't know if any of these are... ok for you to make and sell...

AGREED!!

I think some Portal themed buttons would be cool too.

[Motoko]

I'd buy a "I post on the Forum." button....

[Alitain]

Well first off, I just wanted to say I love your guys' buttons.  Last year I bought a few.  The Hyatt one is my fav.  And I bought the Mikey and Leo TMNT buttons and after con I regretted not buying Raph and Donny, so I'm really happy that you're going to be back, because I'm definitely going to buy those two and have the whole set.

I guess on that note, how about Splinter, April, Casey Jones, Shredder to just round out the gang?  Or at least Splinter, seems appropriate.  Otherwise I can never find ANYTHING really for two animes I love, Serial Experiments Lain, and Steel Angel Kurumi.  It'd be cool to have something from those animes.  How about a button that says "Pocky of Bust!", sounds funny.  Alright, well can't wait to see your guys' table at the con.

I'd love to see an artistic rendition of the laughing man logo from Ghost in the Shell: Standalone Complex
Maybe even just the "I figured what I'd do is I'd pretend I was one of those deaf mutes" text.

[CassieR]

Portal!  Okay, I'll add that to the list. That's always the hardest part of making buttons, making sure I know what they are from... Maybe at least a "The button is a lie" ^_^

"The World Ends With you buttons..." I actually just heard of this game when I posted my button suggestions on the forum for a con I'm hitting next weekend. I'm still trying to think on this to put my own spin on that. I don't want to just copy something straight out of the game, but since I don't know the game, I don't know any jokes that could go with them or any good ways to change them.

Invader Zim! ^_^

I could probably add an "I post on the Forum."

For "Otaku like Otaku are hot" did you mean "Otaku *who* like Otaku are hot" Cause otherwise its a joke I"m not getting...

Sorry about the long reply, I thought I had this forum marked to notify, and forgot to check for a few days -_-

I know that it's a little late to post this since the con is in 2 weeks, but I'd love to get a button that would have the Straw Hat Pirate flag Skull & Crossbones on it. I'd also like to see if there's a few buttons that would have the other One Piece Jolly Rogers on them too.

[Hopelessadalette]

I would love to buy a button that has The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya with Kyon and Haruhi love support or just all of the characters on the show.
or maybe some vampire knight ;]]] like couples cause a lota people are either for zero and yuki
or kaname and yuki xD

[Naru]

|D I'd love to see I love Ramen button!
And I really want to buy the I lost the game button.
Saw it and died xD;;

[Boomerjinks]

I want a button that says "Do not push this again," but I think we're talking about different buttons.

Do you have any levers? What about switches or knobs?

[mastergods]

But ya know what'd be really cool? If you made The World Ends With you buttons... like the ones they acutally use to play the game

[roxasxnamine4evr]

OMG, Soul Eater, Kingdom Hearts, and Vocaloid ones would be epic!!

[EatingClouds]

YES! TMNT AND INVADER ZIM!<3
lol i thought Harvey Dent buttons would be funny

[lanceb]

Captain Falcon buttons would be awesome! Who wouldn't love one of the most manliest men on a button.

[Harleen]

Anything zombie related would be cool. I'm pretty sure I saw you guys with some Umbrella Corp stuff, but I'm talkin' more along the lines of a colorful picture of a zombie or something.

[evil genius missy]

"catboys are people too"

i just came up with that on spot.... i'll come back if i think of any actual suggestions.

i'm a huge edgeworth fangirl, so i'll definately come buy a few buttons!

[ThePhantomOtaku]

Oo. Nice idea, Cassie. I'm hoping to make some buttons and cell phone charms, m'self, so I'll definitely take advantage of this thread. >:} 

I like a little bit of everything so I'm not quite sure how to narrow it down. My favorite manga author is Naoki Urasawa so i'd like to do some Monster, 20th Century Boys and Billy Bat but I think that's just the fangirl in me with some wishful thinking.

I'm more of an old schooler so I'm hoping to get some decent older overlooked stuff like ReBoot, Ranma, Kimagure Orange Road, and (gotta give some love to) older Final Fantasy characters.

Gotta keep up with the (slightly) newer stuff, too! I'll maybe throw in some Soul Eater, Ouran High School Host Club, The World Ends with You, Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei ... Er ... The list's getting pretty long, here ... <_<

Well, this's where I'm having trouble. There's so much stuff I like, I'm not sure what I should make and what I shouldn't! I've already made Professor Layton, Phineas and Ferb, Danny Phantom, Fairly Odd Parents, ReBoot, Phoenix Wright and a few text buttons ... Where should I limit myself and what's actually gonna sell ...?
