TFO T-Shirt Design Contest

[Josh]

Okay - after creating more than 3 t-shirt designs myself (and because of sammi's prodding ), I've decided to leave it up to the people. We're holding TFO's first T-Shirt Design Contest.

The Rules:
1. The design must be related to tortoises and TortoiseForum.org
2. You MUST own or have permission to use any image in your design.
3. Designs should be as big as possible (12"x12" and 200 DPI) to make printing easier. If necessary, we will have to re-work your design to make it printable.
4. Have fun!

To participate, post your design in this thread. Create your design at the highest resolution possible. We can always scale it down later. Please try to avoid using photos as they are expensive to print. If needed, use http://tinypic.com to host your design. Below is a t-shirt template you can use to sketch ideas on.

Submissions will be collected until July 1, 2010 @ 11:59 PST. Then we'll do an anonymous vote for the winner and the winning design will be added to the TFO Zazzle Store. The winner gets their first shirt free and a donation of $25 to the animal charity of their choice!

Show us what you can do!

Is there a limit as to how many designs can be submitted? And do you want TFO in the design?

 

[Josh]

Let's keep it to 3 entries per member. The font used in the TFO logo is Cooper. You don't need to have the logo in the design but incorporating the URL somehow would be nice...

I thought the slogan was fitting since they actually do live a pretty long time.

These designs all look great so far! Keep 'em coming!

 

[DeanS]

OK...I decided I was going to use Aladar for my Tee design...I did a coupla other sketches...a galap on the charge and a pair of leopard babies...then I thought about combining all three sketches into one design...too busy! So this is the one! Hope you all like it.

Nice job guys!
Obviously I'm a sucker for anything Aladar related. You did a great job of capturing his sweet face, Dean.

I like Dean's, but I think it would be cute if the back of the shirt had the back of the tort on it.

I actually thought of that...but I have a rhino shirt from when I worked at SD Zoo...and the back has the rear end...and I hate to copy other people's ideas.

You should put Bob's bumpy nose on the back.

those are great designs. i love the colours in the tortoise. my pet peeve is the neon green and blue...accents...i will call them. if those are black and maybe the tortoiseforum.org link is in another font and or displayed in another manner then i would say it'd be perfect. nonetheless, incredibly awesome job.
