I dig this logo so much. The retro style is just killer. So, I made a shirt with it. On the back it has the Festool logo with the text "Making the best power tools since 1925." What do you guys think?  |

The tools in my truck were talking the other day. The Dewalts, PC's, Boschs, Makitas were not happy. They also were in the minority. Their complaint: They felt unused and unappreciated since the Festools moved in. I guess the truth hurts.

I'd love to have one of those! And maybe we can get some matching Festo badges for our tools as well.

Definitely dig it! It's sort of got the Pepsi/Nike "swooshy" feel, but cooler, and no one will know what it is! Invites plenty of conversation, and is uber cool looking to boot. Count me in if there's a group buy in the works!  Always need some shirts for casual Friday at work (we believe in very casual), and hanging around on weekends. Pretty sneaky Peter! Where's our FOG wear!?? |

Very cool, i like it. When can we buy it. Or is it NAINA?
Or if you do not want to hassle getting the shirts made up you can always create some products on cafepress.com.

Greg, it's NAanywhere currently. There's a possibility we may expand our line of branded apparel. Like I said, I just really liked this logo and the retro look so I made up a few of these for a few people around the office. If we offer more branded clothing, I'd like to include this logo as part of the offerings. I'll post more if and when that happens.

This sucks worse than that time I ordered what I thought was a sys 1 at a killer price, only to find a mini systainer delivered a few days later. I was giving 3 festool fleeces when I bought some festool tools couple years ago! They are a bit dirty now though need new ones! I bought a Milwaukee circular saw and jigsaw at rex crystals demo show and they gave me a Milwaukee bag and 7 Milwaukee T-shirts and a fleece. I have had a few more Milwaukee fleeces and even a Milwaukee (ski) jacket all free. All from RexCrystals hes a good lad I think he wanted to make sure I was not to cold during the winter I recently went NEC and my mate bought a mafel circular saw and he was given a Cap and the Mafel rep gave me one as well the last one he had! Unfortunately I didnt see Protool with any but I forgot to ask aswell. I would love a protool one! I would then have all cloths to match all the tools I own! JMB JMB |

And back to the topic.... Shane... as elementary teacher use to say.... I hope you brought enough for everybody!!!! When I worked at Best Buy I remember sitting in the early days... in Dick Schulze's office (the founder of Best Buy) and we talking how to know, you as a company, have succeeded... Dick's definition was when people would buy cloths with your companies logo on them..... I think Festool... Festo is there!!! We still don't have Best Buy clothing Boutiques...... I do have a custom winter coat (he founded it in Edina, MN) ... with the logo on it from him when we hit our first Billion.... Cheers, Steve |

Steve,
That is an interesting and very insightful. I have always found it to be absolutely awe inspiring that Fetool has users / customers who are so enthused - just look at the participation here - that they request the opportunity to purchase logoed apparel. Look around and you will see that other firms spend tons of dollars to promote their "wear" and in this case there is a demand that could be met.
I spent the time with the FOGtainers and will spend time with the other FOG wear / stuff because there is a demand and hopefully in the future Festool will offer more stuff here likewise.
Gad to see you back here posting after your hiatus! May 2012 be your best year ever!
Peter

I think an even more telling measure is when people tattoo your logo on their body, e.g. Harley Davidson. That's some serious commitment to a brand!!!
