We have been fortunate to be online since 1999. In all this time, we have been asked, on occasion, whether we had a bumper sticker, hat, coffee mug, etc. available with the Luther Quest name or website address on it. Sadly, we have not.
Until now! We have just opened an online store hosted by CafePress which carries merchandise with our website address and a saying or two. We have contacted a few of the LQ regulars "out there" with keen senses of humor, to give us some suggestions. Also, a member of Rev. Cascione's congregation is a graphic artist. His name is Michael Schwartz. Mike took the time to not only put Luther's Coat of Arms on the shield, but also to use 16th century German armor to match the time of the Reformation. Great job, Mike! Anyone interested in contacting Mike for design work can reach him at the linked email address above. We have gone ahead and placed this logo on several items in the store in time for ordering before the convention.
For those not familiar with CafePress, they imprint and sell various products "on demand" for companies and individuals who provide their own graphics. Our products have a modest markup to help offset the cost of running our website (hosting and software). All of the merchandise is prepared and shipped by CafePress. At LQ we setup the graphics and choose the products. Our participation within CafePress is not an endorsement by Luther Quest or its Owner of the content, beliefs, or goals of other Stores within CafePress.
We're excited about the possibilities, especially with the LC–MS Synodical Convention coming up in July. Wouldn't it be interesting to see some of the delegates strolling into the convention hall with LQ merchandise showing off their favorite discussion group?
