#nfptweetup - FTW!

Posted on Monday, 22 February 2010


My favourite social media meet-up is undoubtedly NFPtweetup, a mixer of individuals interested in the potential of Twitter and other social media to further and support the missions of organisations that want to do good things in the world.  People are talented, sponge-like, generous, sharing and learning and are ridiculously down to earth; I always leave feeling like I’ve learnt something new and I’ve been given a blessing and the benefit of someone else’s experience to go out and apply it.

A few weeks ago, I heard that they were getting their own t-shirt, so, when NFPtweetup’s Rebekah Hah extended an invitation for me to attend the next event, I leapt at the opportunity to get in the queue for a t-shirt.  Rebekah suggested that I propose my own design, so, one snowy afternoon, fuelled by hot chocolate and ice cream, I had fun coming up with the designs below.  They don’t exactly fit with the brand, but I’ve always wanted to use my own rendering of a Twitter bird and this gave me a great opportunity to do so.

They are a little varsity inspired because – let’s be real – such t-shirts always end up being worn at the gym.  Married with the whole learning theme, it was a bit of a creative fit waiting to happen.











The official t-shirt for NFPtweetup was released last weekend and a very smart design it is too – I want one!!

** Just to clarify...**
Thanks for the tweets, messages and DMs about these.  But just to clarify, these were done on a lark, and the official t-shirt for NFPtweetup was produced by the beautiful people at Beautiful World (and I still want one!).  I won't be printing them, however, if an ethical t-shirt company wants to come forward and donate their services, I will happily licence these to be sold in support of NFPtweetup... :)

We love these! And thank you for saying all of those nice things about NFPtweetup. Perhaps we should do different t-shirts for each event... ? ;)

You could get all the designers in NFPtweetup to contribute their designs and licence them to you; you could sell them and the proceeds could go towards developing NFPtweetup...
