# Statement Silk Screen — archive recovery Updated October 6, 2026. ## Confirmed business beginnings **Founded in Philadelphia in 2009**, confirmed by the owner. The visitor-facing archive now says “Since 2009.” The previous “20-plus years” wording has been removed from the rebuilt pages. Original source records retain the old wording as historical evidence, not as a current claim. ## This recovery - **72 recovered image files**, plus one preserved technical placeholder excluded from the gallery. Files include duplicate sizes, branding, stock assets and historical documents; this is not a count of unique projects. - **14 project photographs recovered from the 2023 site** using the original image URLs embedded in its archived HTML. - **27 available photographs from the 2025 gallery**, including thumbnail-only recoveries. Some pictures overlap with the older gallery. - **41 gallery entries** across the two website versions. - Three historical price-guide sheets and an earlier S logo recovered from references in the 2021 page. The 2019 page contains the same asset references. - Eleven named customers in the 2025 client-logo section. A DJ Jazzy Jeff logo was also recovered from that section; the customer relationship still needs owner confirmation. - Website snapshots from 2014, 2016, 2019, 2021, 2023 and 2025, and additional WordPress page captures from 2024–2025. ## Older gallery details Visible artwork includes Philadelphia International Records, Philly Chef Conference, American Friends Service Committee, Staples Advantage, Heineken, Air Pros, The Stylistics, J.I.P., Philly Rising and Five Space. These are descriptions of marks visible in photos on the original site, not newly verified customer relationships or endorsements. The rebuilt gallery uses descriptive captions and makes the source capture accessible for every entry. The 2016 page title is “T shirts in Philadelphia.” The 2019 and 2021 pages say “Contract Printing Made Easy.” The December 2023 capture lists a San Diego address; it does not establish the date the business moved or whether Philadelphia operations continued. ## Original design preserved The actual Statement logo; red, slate and white palette from the archived CSS; the original hero photograph (9133.png); the original “High Quality / Professional / printing / Made Easy” headline; Abril Fatface heading typography; Current & former Clients; Browse Our Gallery; Concept / Design / Print; and Perfection Is The Standard. The page is adapted as a history archive. Historical pricing is clearly labeled. The old sales form, placeholder testimonials and unverified business totals are not presented as live or confirmed content. ## Evidence and uncertainties Capture dates label website versions, not production dates. Upload folders and dates in filenames are clues only. The founding year is owner-confirmed; most individual project dates remain unknown. Historical homepage totals (650K T-shirts, 3K custom logos, 3,000 customers) remain unverified. Testimonials attributed to Jessica Smith / ABC Corporation, John Adams / XYZ Designs and Sarah Johnson / 123 Co. may be template content; preserve in source records only until the owner confirms them. AdobeStock files are retained in the recovery collection but excluded from the customer-project gallery. They are not proof of Statement projects. The older Wix page data remains unavailable. Several 2025 full-size files also remain unavailable; local thumbnails are used where available. Network failures were intermittent. “Unavailable” in the manifest means this recovery attempt did not retrieve an image, not that the image never existed. For older GoDaddy assets, some files were recovered from their original CDN URLs still serving them. Their reference in the archived HTML is historical evidence; current CDN bytes are not independently guaranteed identical to the bytes served on the capture date. The manifest records the retrieval URL and SHA-256 hash. ## Files - index.html: rebuilt local history site. - collection.html: all recovered useful images and source links. - gallery.json: visitor-facing gallery captions, sources and capture labels. - customers.json: original client-name evidence. - business-history.json: owner-confirmed founding information. - image-manifest.json: attempted image URLs, results, hashes and source references. - records/: source HTML saved as text, extracted content and archive indexes. ## Sources - 2014: https://web.archive.org/web/20140127014250/http://www.statementsilkscreen.com:80/ - 2016: https://web.archive.org/web/20160117090329/http://www.statementsilkscreen.com/ - 2019: https://web.archive.org/web/20190823200350/https://statementsilkscreen.com/ - 2021: https://web.archive.org/web/20210615100317/https://statementsilkscreen.com/ - 2023: https://web.archive.org/web/20231206165049/https://statementsilkscreen.com/ - 2025: https://web.archive.org/web/20250712131334/https://www.statementsilkscreen.com/ ## Finished site and caption pass The finished site includes a developed brand story based on the owner-confirmed Philadelphia founding in 2009 and the recovered printed work. Later San Diego activity is supported by the 2023 site record; no move date or founder biography has been invented. The expressive brand copy is newly written, not presented as an old quotation. The official current DJ Jazzy Jeff logo was recovered from https://djjazzyjeff.com/assets/images/djjj-logo.png at the owner’s request. Source site: https://djjazzyjeff.com/. The older archived Jazzy Jeff mark is preserved separately. Three additional originals were recovered in the final pass: IMG_6626.jpg, IMG_6161-scaled.jpg and IMG_8281-scaled.jpg. Captions now describe visible garments, colors and artwork, and explicitly avoid identifying undocumented performers, events or people. The project gallery contains 41 entries: 33 images larger than 150 pixels and 8 thumbnail-only images. The full collection contains 72 image files plus one technical transparent placeholder. Size variants are kept for preservation, so image counts do not represent distinct jobs or customers. Full-size links preserve original bytes; no AI enlargement or reconstruction was used.
