BotB t-shirt Design Contest

68955

All tunes will be rendered to MP3 for voting accessibility :)

COOL MAJOR BTW!!

68967

Yes! Been waiting for this one for a while

68979

my only issue with this major is that its asking for a simple botb logo design to win, because thats something i (and other people i assume) want. if there was a simple botb logo tshirt that was already made and the competition was for a creative take on it, (and you could buy both the shirts) id probably buy both of them.

sorry if this is hard to read hehe im not the best at writing

edit: do you take submissions in .flac i dont want my entry to be ruined by bitrate crush

68982

if i submit an animated gif, will it be animated on the shirt

68984

buy a seperate tshirt per frame
wear them all at once in order of outside start to inside end
take them off as you go
done

68985

make sure to draw it as an SVG so the large shirts dont look blurry

68987

Yeah I was thinking you guys could maybe do SVG and then submit a PNG + a link to the SVG (the lyceum doesn't have SVG listed in the formats allowed for Draw from what I saw). Vector drawings would scale better so it would be cool if it was allowed.

68990

max size is 3kx3k, and a 4(5) color image that large can be automatically vector traced fairly easily (usually)

68991

Am I right in assuming white and black are their own colors?

68999

No, actually, recent studies have shown that black and white are the same color

69032

I thought SVG would be the way to go too, but it's not one of the suggested file types in their documentation. I'm sure they've dumbed it down for customer accessibility. Irregardlessly[sic], I trust they know how to convert limited color PNGs and JPEGs to whatever they need.

69157

OK I'll try again. The rules say "limit design to 4 colors". Can I use red, blue, green, orange, black, and white? Or can I only use black, white, red, and blue, within the rules for this contest?

69163

The t-shirt is one color. You get 4 printed colors. That's a total of 5 colors. I'm not sure where this idea of black and white being a single color comes from. True, if you have a white t-shirt and use black ink then you are printing one color. The same can be true if you have a black shirt and use white ink. But if you have, say, a green shirt and then print both black and white on it you have printed two colors on top of the t-shirts color. Black and White are not even a requirement; you don't have to use both of them or either of them, but you can use both and if one of them is the color of the shirt then you don't need to screenprint that color.

So many great entries!

I'm really excited about this!!! <3

69421

thinkin' about hosting a synclisten for this

69429

None of the files will play if I hit "Hear All" TT_TT

69444

why do we need 11 days to vote on these? now that the dates been set i dont think that shortening it is a possible thing, but wowo

69445

I know that voting on images is pretty much effortless and really quick, but a longer time to vote would allow for more people to have a chance to vote.

What if there's someone who's busy af and has some time to vote just on the last day? Just putting a hypothetical case out there to show what I mean.

69457

ui, where were you in our time of need? :'(

BotB EPIC APPAREL IS GO0O0O!

https://teespring.com/botb-1st-epic-apparels

All n00bs!!

69894

oh shittttttttttttttttttttttttttttttt

69916

the black and white not being inverted on the back of the T shirt bothers me more than it should

minor nitpick aside ill buy one for sure, but im on vacation until around thursday right now! will buy soon!

edit: the estimated date for the package to arrive (a week or so after August 1) is when I'll be out of state for a whole week; how will I buy one of these without it getting stolen while on vacation? Not sure what to do here.

edit2: I mean I guess I live in a pretty white neighborhood I could just leave a sign that says "please do not steal package unless you want a unfitting tshirt for an obscure website okthx"

69920

oh fun my design is on teh back ^_^ baron shall always make beckonings to those behind!

speaking of which, as it is on the back and using a white background, id say it would look better about "flyer" sized as opposesd to streching from arm to arm.

69923

everyone is a critic

69924

everyone is a criticist

69930

I liek it and bought one :3

69950

Bandcamp treatment when

69957

Bandcamp treatment when? I'm guessing you mean when we'll have shirts available through bandcamp? The whole point of using teespring is so I don't have to act as a warehouse and distribution center. All shirts ordered in this way are made to order.

69964

I think brighten means when is Chip Champion going to post on here and tell us that he finished uploading all of the shirt designs to Bandcamp

69971

THAT WAS A JOKE

69978

WOOP WOOP! JOEK ALART!!!

70018

I ordered teh grey, I will model the shirt when it comes.
I will wear it discretely around people who I don't mind sharing my secret BotB life with

70143

i got it in purple, cant wait until it arrives
(i hope it doesnt get stolen when its shipped!!)

70471

Finally bought mine heh

70489

i am so excited for this

70501

i bet im more exciteder than you!!!!!!

70513

Wulp, myself and at least two others forgot and/or missed the window of purchase so we'll mostly likely run the fundraising campaign once again in the near future.

I'd like to thank everyone who bought a shirt!!!

70514

lm fao
that's irony if I've ever seen it

70622

Have the shirts shipped yet? I never got an email saying it shipped or anything like that, or that I've paid. The email I did get says that I reserved the shirt...?

70627

i havent gotten a shipping confirmation or printing complete email either.

i mean, how long does it take to print like 5 shirts? lololoololoololol

70629

When the campaign ended I got an email stating that it has gone to the production phase. There were 32 units sold in total. On the teespring website there is a "Track Your Order" link in the top right. I, having failed to purchase a shirt in time due to running a table at Classic Game Fest and my system drive shitting the bed the day before the last day and being a basket case, have no order number to try it out with. Shipping info
says the apparel should arrive about two weeks after the end of the campaign. That's about 9 more days.

http://i.imgur.com/jH04Hby.png this is what i see

70644

Oh, well, Savestate, see, the problem is that you just put a bunch of red scribbling where you were supposed to put your address.

70645

idk what's going on, nothing on teespring or on my email says I even paid for the shirt but there was 3 hours left for the sale... did it even count as a purchase?

70646

Yeah, I didn't get any kind of order confirmation either.

70728

Has anyone gotten anything yet? The money was just deposited into my paypal. With teespring's success stories I highly doubt it's a scam.

70739

Not yet, no emails either. I'll check right now buddy.

EDOT: printing - https://m.imgur.com/IYazgOV

70740

I still haven't gotten anything, all I got was something talking about a reservation? I know I wasn't late for buying one...

70755

Despite providing TeeSpring with a collection of scribbles in place of my address, they somehow found out where I lived and shipped the shirt out to me! http://imgur.com/eBcJKeM

70769

Now I can confirm that even though the timer on BotB said 3 hours and X minutes left, the timer for teespring was too late. No money was withdrawn from my account nor did I get any notification that I bought it, sux I guess. I had to wait to get enough money rip

70775

Mine shipped and is en route

70835

TMM12, I missed ordering too (along with some other people). Gonna wait until I get some shots of folks in their killer wear and run again!

Bit of a bump, but I stumbled across this in random searching and realized that I've been wearing my BotB shirt pretty much every other week since getting it, so... yay, spirit! :P

Small Storytime: Last year I was at a game convention thingy in Austin and someone actually recognized puke from the shirt (like they knew each other IRL, I believe). It's a tiny heckin' world sometimes. :P

Every other time, though, people keep asking me "is that a Karl Marx shirt?", which usually leads to an interesting conversation. :P

Either way, belated thanks for the fashionable icebreaker. :D
