You could send this by PM to Paul_H, he's the go-to fellow for tee-shirt design..?

Thanks for this guys...will be certainly giving it a go! Although I haven't won anything since I won a box of maltesers for drawing a horse when I was 10.



EDIT: I came second. The girl who won traced a photohraph. Bitch.

Just had an hour on this and thought I would ask for opinions before I sub it.

Apparently you can sub multiple entries so if this one is completely horrible it's not the end of the world

EDIT: Subbed anyway...looked at the other entries and thought I might as well

I'm not judging this contest, but this doesn't 'float my boat'. I'd want more '50 years anniversary' content. Could do better (and has proven so...). Sorry, but nowp.

Fair enough I am sure I will do a couple more. Thanks for the comment

[miles'tone]

Still, makes me glad I'm not entering as I'd have lost already!

An idea though, how about '50 of'as large as the '66'? Anyone seeing the t-shirt walking towards them would know more likely what it referred to. I reckon they would like something like that.

Maybe.

I'm working on another...a circular logo with a large 50 in the middle...I've got to cover all the bases

Better?

EDIT: Bugger. Rushed it and didn't pay enough attention to aligning the text. Already subbed it. Oops.

I think I will leave it at two entries for now and see how the "liking" goes. I should be able to judge what people like a bit better then.

The "likes" will only be there to assist the judges decision...so I'm not too worried about calling out the troops...plus I feel that calling on my t-shirt buddies/fans to vote would be cheating a bit!

Just a quick tip to anyone else thinking about having a go...make sure you design to the correct specification. They are looking for a 300mm x 300mm chest print. Designing a full body print won't work...unless it's so awesome they change their spec!

I was just about to ask if that was yours too. Not bad for 45 minutes work! It's straightforward and to the point - so could be a winner.

I wish I had as much skill as you!

I am considering it but if I might wait to see if come up with another/better design.

Thanks. I am pretty quick at those "generic circular logos" as my tee designing buddies calle them

Thanks...but it's all just practise. I don't do anything that anyone else couldn't do with a copy of Photoshop and a bit of time.

Yes, much. There, you now have my official seal of approval. That should frighten 'em all off. Be prepared for a new bass delivery shortly...

Awesome...thanks

My main failing as a designer...apart from being sh*tty at it...is I'm not good at working to briefs. That's why I stick to what I do. I only ever design to please myself and hopefully the designs sell.

Jesus, is there no imagination left in the f***ing world?

No, stick to tee-shirts for the moment, or maybe try boxers after a while. Briefs can be tricky (it's the pocket ...).

You obviously didn't read the brief

can I get away with entering this and not telling my work... not a problem unless I won!

[Roland Rock]

I've had a go, I'll submit it tomorrow. I tried to keep it simple and clean, but relevant with the lion and the strings (whiskers)
