Design Slashdot's New T-Shirt and Win Cool Stuff!
It's been some time since we had a new shirt design for folks to buy,
and it's time to change that. More specific guidelines for the contest
follow, but in short, we're taking design submissions starting
immediately. Winners will get a $75 credit at ThinkGeek, as well as 3 copies of of
their t-shirt design. Winners will be chosen by me.
Technical Specs
- Designs should be for Black or White shirts. Or even better, both!
- No larger than 12" wide by 15" high
- No more than 5 colors (Black & White Count as Colors People!)
- Entries must be either 300 DPI Bitmap (JPG, PNG, Tiff etc), or Vector Format (PS, EPS, PDF)
- I strongly recommend the use of Slashdot's favorite shade of green in any design submission. Slashdot's "Green" is 006666 in hex. 0,102,102 in RGB. Entries will not be excluded for failing to use the green, but I like it, and I'm the judge!
- You can try anything: From witty slogans to fancy design.
- Avoid photographs & shadows since they don't print very well at 5 colors.
- Parody is fine, but I'd rather designs be original.
- Email tshirts at cmdrtaco.net, and provide a URL to your design(s). If this isn't possible, you may attach your submission to an email.
- Winners will be selected in a few weeks by Rob "CmdrTaco" Malda (Me!) based on their creativity and design.
- There may be more than one winner if there are several good entries! I have permission to select as many as 3 winners if there are many good entries!
- The submittor of each winning design will get $75 credit at ThinkGeek
- 3 Copies of your T-Shirt Design
- Bragging rights at LUGs, CompSci Labs, Cubicle Farms, and Tech Tradeshows around the world.
Finally our lawyer demands that you read the Official Rules. Do it!
...the ascii goatse with "I read Slashdot at -1"?
That last 6 set the evil bits.
You are in a maze of twisted little posts, all alike.
I submit the old t-shirt design. The editors won't notice.
Invalid Checksum. Retrying.

Why do I feel like the first place entry will be merely a repost of the second place entry, only with misspellings?
So I wonder how many variations on 'first post', 'imagine a beowulf cluster of...' and suchlike there shall be...it's inconceivable! (yes, that word does mean that I think it means)
this one's easy:

I knew it!!! SCO is sponsoring this contest...
Submit the same Tshirt design once, wait a couple of hours, submit it again, then wait a few more hours and submit it a third time. They'll forget it was you....
go ahead... mod me down.. you know you want to.
If you're looking here for something insightful or thought provoking, you're probably looking in the wrong place.
Regardless of the design, I think a tshirt with the following on the back would be pretty funny:
click here! [goatse.cx]
Unfortuantely /. doesn't allow the <u> tag, but you get the point.
Slashdot: (Score:5, Troll)
I want one already!
I don't know about the rest of you, but I'm going for a games.slashdot.org design, done on a t-shirt of the most horrid, offensive, seziure-inducing purple I can find.
There's a Mercedes gap too. I want one and can't afford one, but it's not government's job to do anything about it.
I gave up my
IP rights in
this logo
and all I
got was this
lousy t-shirt.

then someone taps you on the back, do you have to stop, drop your pants, bend over and well, open wide?
I'm damn sure not buying one that says click here for goatse.cx
I wouldn't do that even under doctors orders.
The preceding post was not a Slashvertisement.

More importantly
/.'ers girth, surely those size limits should be, well, made a tad more generous?
No larger than 12" wide by 15" high

Power corrupts. PowerPoint corrupts absolutely.
Since we're the ones buying the shirts.. shouldn't we be the ones voting for it?
Don't be silly. What's next, readers moderating the story submission queue? Catching dupes? Fixing typographical errors? Posting Google Cache links or no-registration partner links to NYT articles?
That's crazy talk, man!

But that would suggest that there is somekind of value to a /. subscription...
While your at it throw in a Taco big toe nail (lightly chewed) and some CowboyNeal bellybutton lint (size large)

That on the front or the back of the shirt?

Back has little Slashdot logo. Front reads, "Karma Cap."
Thankew, thankewverymuch, I'll be here all week...
Breakfast served all day!
Can you figure out how to make these slashdot tshirts not magically start smelling like body order after 5 to 6 days of use?
Already done. In english-speaking countries it's called "laundry".
Endless arguments over trivial contradictions in books written by ignorant savages to explain thunder in the dark.
It started as a 3-color design, but ended up as a 5-color design once I read the happy-fun and absolutely agreeable T&C's. Yay! Lawyers!
I remember those shirts when I was a kid "My parents went to Hawaiiand all I got was this lousy t-shirt", well how about:
"I designed Slashdot's new T-Shirt and All I got was this Lousy shirt (and a $75 gift certificate)"
if common sense was common, wouldn't everyone have it?
