My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic - Be The Designer!

Hey Guys!

I’m James – I’m in charge of product design here at TruffleShuffle and I just wanted to reach out to all you My Little Pony Friendship is Magic fans out there.

We’re working on introducing some new designs to our official range of My Little Pony T-Shirts but as no-one knows the ever changing, fast paced nature of Friendship is Magic better than you guys, we wanted to get your input and ideas so we can make sure the new range is exactly what you want to see.

So if there’s a character who you think we should be paying tribute to, a particular slogan you want to see, a graphic you’ve seen or even some of your own illustrations that you think would make the perfect tee, please get in touch.

You can let us know in the comments section below or if you’d prefer, you can email me direct to james@truffleshuffle.co.uk.

We’ll then work through all of your ideas and do our best to incorporate the most popular into our new designs to make sure we end up with the flyest pony threads around (groan!!!)

Classic Levi’s Ads Through the Ages

Introducing out latest blog feature! Each month we're going to be taking a trip down memory lane and looking back at some classic retro TV ads that hit our small screens duruing our childhoods.Few things are guaranteed to make you feel old like getting nostalgic about old TV adverts. These are the kinds of things you often don’t even know that you remember, but having been aired in between your favourite after-school shows they slip into your sub-conscious only to make you feel old in the future.

Some adverts become legendary and some brands are better known for their advertising campaigns than others. Believe it or not the classic jeans brand Levi’s have been airing TV ads since way back in 1966, so lets take a trip back and see just what Levi's brought to the TV table.

How many of these ads from them can you remember?

Good Morning World, 1974

A campaign for Levi’s “youthwear” features a boy and his dog having a much sprightlier morning than any I remember when having to be up early. Any 70s kid are bound to remember this, but whether you can or not, rest assured you won’t get that song out of your head any time soon.

Best bit: the dog’s ears!
