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.
er.. Since we're the ones buying the shirts.. shouldn't we be the ones voting for it? Have something like all members get one vote and all Anonymous Cowards can eat poop!
in the bonds, ppka
this one's easy:

Didn't see it mentioned anywhere in the article posted... had to look at the "official" rules. :)

Can we see a link to the old shirt? I wasn't even aware there was an official slashdot shirt. That will also let potential designers see what's been done already.
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.

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
Considering the average
Slashdot is NOT some poor homebrew low budget site. /. is owned by a major corporation that is going to make a fortune on these shirts and they expect some chump will design them for a mere $75?
Give the winner 10% of the profit and then you might have something interesting here.

Power corrupts. PowerPoint corrupts absolutely.
But that would suggest that there is somekind of value to a /. subscription...
