I would love to just have a really good quality coffee mug with a cool design on it, maybe minimalist or perhaps just really elaborate for no reason. I don’t really care for quotes or anything like that, I’d like to just support Privacy Guides and maybe get one or two people to check it out because of just a really cool mug. I wouldn’t mind just a plain Privacy Guides logo on it, or even like full art across the whole mug.

I’d sport a cap with “Privacy is possible” on the front and the PG logo on the back.

I could craft a proof of concept if I could however, in terms of merch design, I was actually hoping a like merch design where we go “you vs me” and the style to be “normie vs privacy conscious”
basically you can have the you, and on the bottom is a person being surveilled by big tech while the other is a person who’s embracing the free and open source, encrypted nature.
Alternatively, maybe something similar but for messengers, for example, one on top is encrypted messenger but the metadata like time and date and names are shown (representing messengers like whatsapp) and the bottom is basically fully encrypted full hashed data, in signal fashion (blue and white) where even the name and time and conversations are encrypted/hashed
maybe adding a “pick my side or stay in your side and don’t bother me” on the bottom or “Consider your privacy choices” or something.
I could actually make a proof of concept especially on the last one, I’ve done this before

Merch in multiple languages would be really good! I live in Latin America, and for example shopping with a bag that’s in English isn’t going to make any sense if I want to people to read and get the message that’s on my bag.

I actually would prefer no texts really. It often looks a bit cheapish.
Some cool patterns for example of CCTV cameras would be dope.
For inspiration I like this tee (yes with text) of Bits of Freedom: Make The Internet Beautiful – Bits of Freedom
But yeah I am all in for abstract designs!

I’ve been working on different adversarial pattern images to fool AI facial recognition. I want to engineer and design a t-shirt/hoodie that has a strong enough adversarial pattern to disrupt ai, instead of needing some type of headwear. lmk if you’re interested in a collab.

If we are cool with warhammer 40k parody i think i can come up with an idea. Are Games Workshop particularly litigious?
I like the image but, consider italicizing the “Your” instead of the “Threat”?

What about selling useful items instead of clothing ? Ex a yubikey/nitrokey with privacy logo, usb data blocker with logo. Might be harder with attribution and it might have moral issue to discuss. Maybe only for recommended product, but this does introduce issue with kickback and whatnot.
Shirt idea : make it funny. Got hacked, now use bitwarden. CIA listening in.
Computer laptop sticker ? I use privacy guide BTW graphene os, ente, proton, qubes, privacy guide.

I would like to see privacy being portrayed as completely normal and not just something important to the outliers in society.
“Privacy is not a crime”
Everyone needs privacy and everyone benefits from it.

I’d buy a synthwave/cyberpunk themed shirt or something. Just wanna highlight this really awesome artist who contacted us recently about using one of our articles in their book:
They make awesome art I’d love to commission them for some merch designs.

I was thinking a poster or stickers with like privacy symbols on it, like maybe a big eye or something looking down, or something like cyberpunk like @fria said.
I like the idea of something that starts a conversation, like maybe a QR code, or something subtle enough that curious people might ask you about it. I don’t like the idea of simply advertising a logo or a quote.
Whatever happened to clothing that protects you from surveillance, does that still exist? I heard about certain patterns that mess with camera footage, stuff like that. I know that’s probably controversial however.

I wouldn’t be comfortable advertising something as “protecting you from surveillance” if I didn’t know it 100% worked, and I don’t know how we can possibly know that given how fast AI is evolving.
