Slashdot T-Shirt Contest Winners!
We had 331 entries in the Slashdot T-Shirt Design Contest, and at long last, I'm pleased to announce that our winners are
Scott Lewallen, Chris Hoover, and Jude Hansen. There were tons of great entries... and we've made the 3 winning designs, as well as 9 of my favorites available for your perusal. Congrats to the winners, and thanks to everyone who entered the contest!
The shirts themselves will be made available at ThinkGeek in the next few weeks.
Congratulations! You have lost!

I am an insensitive clod.
I don't really like most of these; too "I buy anything that ThinkGeek sells because I'm 1337." But I don't like most of the stuff ThinkGeek sells anyway, so all the better.
The Albert Einstein one is fucking hilarious, though.
Nearly all of them are designs to be put on black t-shirts... Probably because black doesn't show pit/food stains as easily and can be reworn for months on end without washing.
Keep it up guys.. keep loading those images.
:)
We might finally be able to Slashdot Slashdot!!
"Hey! Unless this is a nude love-in, get the hell off my property!!"
While the winners are indeed well done, the PHB entry is truly inspired. Any chance some of the Honorable Mentions might become available?

Anyone have a mirror for when we slashdot Slashdot?
But when can I see the results of the Wet /. T-Shirt contest??

Worldwide, teenage geek groupies are crying their eyes out in disappointment.
...are there any shirts available for those of us who don't want to look like a complete dork?
Congratulations to the winners.
"I will take the Ring," he said, "though I do not know the way."
These designs are all great, but I wouldn't wear them in public for fear of losing my life!! If I see someone here in MN wearing one, I'll be sure to go up and talk to them.
I can't resist.....

lol, I don't think I quite believe this myself but it seems that Slashdot is Slashdotting itself!!
I know its probably not possible but it sure seems like that's whats happening, the picture page is loading slower and slower.
Will they have big advertisements on them? Specifically, Microsoft advertisements?
One future, two choices. Oppose them or let them destroy us.

I think we should take a collection and buy Chris Hoover a faster internet connection. His Syringe with a RJ-11 jack is really nice, but who uses a phone line anymore? I would think a RJ-45 high-speed ethernet connection would be more apropos.

Wearing this shirt around is going to do nothing to dispel the widely held belief that most slashdot readers are flamers.
but ntkmart have a bunch of *creator-owned* t-shirts which pay the designers 2 UK pounds (about US$3) for each one they sell.
I'd have gone with the "soothing green light" shirt as #1 and "Get back to work!" as #2, but that's me.
What I'm listening to now on Pandora...
I thought the winners were aweful. The binary one is funny, but the rest are horrible. Not meant to be a troll or flamebait, but maybe a poll on which shirts WE would be willing to pay for would have been better.
Dan Sandler's is my favorite of those. Then again, I've got slashdot in 'reduced green mode'...
That's it? Those are the winners? Sheesh.
This one should say "I was a Slashdot zombie: Accomplish nothing at work, accomplish nothing at home"
For this one, the stink lines should be coming off his back.
Good job! You win first, second and third place in my view.
But, being a geek, I have an annoying nitpick. The modular plug is for a three-pair cable (RJ-14). Why do a modem cable when broadband is so popular. Most ethernet connections are four-pair (RJ-45).
If you wanted to be retro geeky, use the BNC connector for 10Base-2 (ThinNet).

I think that the contest was a great way to discover new talented designers and to spread Slashdot.
But have you wondered to offer some T-Shirt's to some members, the most participating ones, the ones with most Karma, etc...?
After all, what would Slashdot be without them?
KISS - Keep It Simple, Stupid!
I get pretty decent DSL over my 4-connector RJ-11 telephone line.
Those t-shirts are okay, but I won't be buying any of them. I'd certainly buy a product, that kicked a little bit back to Slashdot, if said product was decent. I'd much rather buy some of the cool-as-hell t-shirts from T-Shirt Hell, especially the more offensive ones. I love my School Shootings Tour shirt.
Maybe I'll get something from Stile, or, I've heard there's official Goatse merchandise on the way... Wow, a legitimate link to Goatse, who saw that one coming?
Down with Saudi Arabia!!!
wow. the scott lewallen design is brilliant.
can't wait until I've got a job and can afford one!
Any chance there could be high resolution tiff/ps/pdf of the runner up entries posted somewhere? I realy like the 'bathing geeks in soothing green light' thing. Want to send it to a A3 color printer, or A1 color plotter...
So when do we all get our free T-Shirt ? Should we drop by and pick them up ?
Can we get some "Tall" sizes?

good point, all of those tshirt submissions and not one captured the true essence of slashdot... the flame/troll posting AC.

Cool! Like 'em. /. lived through the /.ing too.
Isn't this one a copyright violation? I don't think that image of Albert Einstein is in the public domain. If Slashdot were to distribute t-shirts with that image on it, I think they would be violating the artist's copyright.

These shirts are terrible. I can make a better shirt with a crayon.
Not to be too much of a grammar nazi, but I do hope that the apostrophe error on Chris Hil's middle t-shirt is corrected before these shirts get printed -- I'd hate to have people think that no one on slashdot has good grammar *coughcough* (Oh, the irony.)

Would there be any rights violations if folks went and sold these other shirts on CafePress?
I for one won't be seen in any of the winner shirts - but i'm all over the "soothing green light" shirt when that becomes available.
and where the fsck is the ad-shirt for Natalie Portman's Hot Grits?
it would have Yakov holding a box of the grits pouring them into his pants saying : "Natalie Portman's Hot Grits : In SOVIET RUSSIA you MOD PARENT UP and ??? Profit!"
i wanted to do this design myself - but i'm as artistic as a dung beetle.
guns kill people like spoons make Rosie O'Donnell fat.
Oh yeah, it is dangerously close to the Adidas triangularly shaped 3 stripes logo. Be careful.
Because , to be frank , I prefer the runner up designs . Maybe if they could give the designs away for free , or sell the shirts on caffee press (but I dont think caffee press supports the black "stain resistant" geek ware color) . Honestly the ones that one are *ok* but (same as parent poster) I really like the dude drinking the coffee being bathed in green light :-) .

I don't think there be any shirts with he design. At least not unless you print your own, but that would be illegal. Mwwwaa Hahaha.

The preceding post was not a Slashvertisement.
Hey Sweet!!! There was a T-Shirt contest?!?!?!
How many of us will even care by then? Sounds like a bit of poor marketing to me.
It's only fitting that one of the entries should have a typo, eh?

Well, in this case because it's merchandizing use of Einstein's image you need to contact the Roger Richman Agency:>/a>
But, if you really want to know, material originally published prior to 1971 belongs to the Albert Einstein Archives at The Hebrew University of Jerusalem
But if it's unpublished material or material originally published after 1971 or further if it was published in The Collected Papers of Albert Einstein, you should contact the Princeton University Press..
I hope this *ahem* clears things up a little...
I don't know if I've ever seen one person who could potentially have so many different requirements to use their image... Especially a DEAD person.. Anyway though I did think that shirt was pretty funny.. I did a peice of artwork with Einstein's image in it, and even though I asked for permission about four months ago, I still have not received word back, so good luck!
I like how image 4 has incorporated one of the standard Slashdot typos: "it's" instead of "its."
If you wanted to be retro geeky, use the BNC connector for 10Base-2 (ThinNet).
Actually, if I wanted to be retro geeky, I'd use a picture of something that screams "retro" and "geek" to millions of people - not just a minority that recognize the ends of certain cables. Something like a Commodore PET, or an Intertec Superbrain, maybe with an acoustic coupler modem. Or perhaps a close-up of 80-column text on one of those Apple green phosphor monitors.
Even if I were a geek of the new generation (i.e. someone that grew up when IBM PC-compatibles were already the standard), the images would still work, as the principle of geek never changes.

While we're at it, can we manufacture the shirts so that deoderant is somehow embedded in the fabric so that they'll take effect when being worn
This cannot be allowed to happen. The "slashdot effect" cannot be used for good.

That's a cool site, but it got me thinking: that "404 Not Found" shirt. It's like, what person hasn't seen that screen? I thought geekness had a certain veiled secrecy; that's why the 1337 stuff works so well, because not everyone gets it.

Of course it's possible that I don't get it...

Oh well I tried, as for why it came out Slashdot.ORG I have no clue, I must admit I cheated cause I didnt feel like figuring it out by hand so I think the program I used f--ked it up. Shows me not to trust a program again :-P.
I actually like a lot of the designs, they are all pretty cool, and beat my design hands down, congrats to the winners.
"Slashdot, where telling the truth is overrated but lying is insightful."
Which would you prefer?
Really. It is. From their ads to their merchandise, all that place knows how to do is pitch overpriced crap to tha kind of people that speak way too loudly in public places about things like D&D and Cowboy Beebop.
How can three of the Honorable Mentions have come from the same person when the contest rules specifically forbade multiple submissions?
How about the WORST/MOST OFFENSIVE ones submitted... I would be more likely to buy one of those.

For the sake of those that need to dress slightly above "T-shirt", I'd like to see the Scott Lewallen design on a polo/golf shirt. Perhaps with the main (color) logo on the left side chest and the smaller black/white logo on the right sleeve.
My guess is it'll never happen though....

I re-enabled images and the page with the pics has no ads.
Am subscriber too!, maybe put ads on that page taco.
The sad part is that I did the same decode and wondered the same thing. I guess deciphering bit patterns on t-shirts really does mean one belongs here..

What's really funny is that two new articles later and this one still has only 325 posts. And there were 331 TShirt design entries. I wonder if the 325 posts are all of the people who actually subscribe to SlashDot.
Isn't the one violating some kind of trademark with Dr. Pepper / Seven Up, Inc?
Shame that Taco didn't pick the "Soothing Green Light" one as a favorite of his, because I liked it the best of the set.
Can we have a writein vote where the most popular one with the readers also gets made into a shirt? If so, this is my vote for the "soothing green light" one...
Oh, and don't forget extended sizes.. XXL or XXXL would be a nice thing. Some of us like our shirts baggy.

I wouldn't have minded a T shirt with a filled in version of Timothy's Slashdot crossword puzzle on it.
Better than that, though, would be if the white and dark squares of the puzzle formed some kind of crude image.

I'm sorry, not trying to personally insult any of the winners here, but I personally found these choices somewhat lacking. No, I'm not pissed because my entry didn't win (I didn't have an entry); and no, I don't think I could do better. I just think that, given the number of readers Slashdot has, and the higher-than-average levels of intelligence and creativity of most Slashdot readers, we could have done a bit better than wacky cartoon characters and predictable plays on the "/."
Outside of the "Mainline" one, I just don't see any that are that compelling. K5's are a lot better.
I think it is an excellent idea to all those people who like slashdot to show off their loyalty. I just wish they had it in prices that come not from America.

It's amazing that most TShirts have logos on them that cannot be read if you have long-hair, like most of the hardcore geeks I know (including myself). I wonder if people will start putting logos on the back shoulders of the shirt for this purpose. (I wonder if I can patent this)
I just flew back in from DEFCON 11, where people were selling/wearing the following:

Freedom: "I won't!"
There is such a dearth of cool t-shirts out there. Poor designs, bad graphics, or too wordy. I like the winners quite a bit. My favorite T-shirt is one that disappeared mysteriously from my home. It also can't be purchased anymore. I got it from the Planetary Society, and the theme was the BETA (Billion Channel Extraterrestrial Array). Nice black with cool green orbital-looking graphics.
The last image with the binary code design. Its a whopping 806KB. Is something embedded in it?
While these are all great and truely would show my nerdness there is a +5 funny one missing.
:/
Sorry, but I just don't have that ahahaha-I-need-to-get-this-shirt feeling
and probably the business of many. Why not just have a poll with at least the top 12 designs? Many people would vote honestly.

But I wouldn't be caught dead wearing a shirt like that.
FYI those of you who wear the "fsck" shirts are laughed at behind your backs by the people who have moved out of their parent's basements and actually kissed a member of the opposite sex who wasn't passed out at the time.
As pointed out by half a dozen others, the scent is produced by various monera. It is the same for feet, where Lycra socks are now becoming nearly ubiquitous. Perhaps a Lycra /. shirt could take care of 1/3 of the people that actually use 'leet' in public.

I would like to request that the shirts be made available in fat-guy (err, larger) sizes. If the shirt comes too small it would look more like a damn semi-colon than a /.
We are Pentium of Borg. Division is futile. You will be approximated.
No offense to anybody, but I'd rather purchase the cartoon ones and the zombie one as t-shirts. I guess Taco was looking for simplicity when he evaluated the designs, but I think those three runners-up have more "WTF" value when somebody who doesn't understand sees it, which is partly what I look for in a t-shirt.
I especially like the "push of a button" one. Every mad scientist should have an OC48.
I wish I were funny enough to keep the nested +5 Funny thread going.

The 'hyperdermic-into-RJ45' logo is a blatant ripoff of some House labels "hyperdermic-into-needle (as in record needle)" logo.
Can't think of the name, but I've definitely seen this logo design before, the same concept, even the same sorta style.
That said, its pretty good. I like the "Volatile Hyperlinkage" one best.

While we're at it, can we manufacture the shirts so that deoderant is somehow embedded in the fabric so that they'll take effect when being worn (by smelly, non-showering nerds)?
Adapt the Ig Noble award winning "under-tec" filters to a tight-fitting Slashdot T-Shirt and you're well on your way.

I am getting the 4th to last byte, which is 00101110, that is-- there are 3 more bytes that follow it, (which make the "ORG" part), as x2E, which makes the thing out to be : "Slashdot-ORG", and I would think you would want a dot ".", i.e. 2F, instead of a dash "-", so the byte should be 00101111, right????
would have been /../. ./././
/. in Morse.
That is
And yes, I do read Morse code by eye or by ear. I am a geek, albeit an anonymous, cowardly geek, of many colors.
It'd be neat if /. Staff picked the first shirt, Thinkgeek personnel picked the second, and /. members voted on the third.
Hey, but thats wishful thinking I suppose.

I have five moderator points. Can I trade them in towards credit on a shirt?
Or, any karma-deficient slashdotters want to buy some points? All proceeds go to the get JerkyChew a shirt fund.
please, hear me out here. i'll probably never be moderated up like always, but here it goes.
/. are getting free labor... and they're making money off people.
folks at
what i say is instead of buying the shirts off thinkgeek, we should email the designers if we want their shirts, and buy it off them instead. They put in the effort, they deserve the credit.
when we wear the shirts, we're doing free advertising for slashdot already, and we arent owning them anything in the first place. when we're wearing them, we're will to do the free advertising, but designers do deserve the credits for their efforts.

"Slashdot T-Shirt Contest Winners"?
When I first read that, I thought it said "Slashdot Wet T-Shirt Contest Winners".
Given the crowd here, I'm not so sure that's something I want to see.

Sweeping generalizations about sensitive issues are a diservice.
I have never taken drugs and don't wish to be associated with that "culture", nevertheless I would defend the right of anybody to wreck their own life with harmful substances if so they wish.
IANAL but write like a drunk one.
The rules were clear, nobody forced these guys to participate.

I was hopping my daughter would give me a "Mod Parent Up" shirt next Father's Day.
Why would I want to wear clothes that make it even harder for me to get laid?
As one of the designers. We knew ahead of time that we would be handing over our rights to Slashdot. It was part of the contest rules. We didn't have to enter if we didn't want to. We just wanted to get our name out there and hopefully we have made a contact at ThinkGeek for some of our other Tshirt designs. Plus it'll be reward enough to see people wearing our tshirts. -Jeff & Chris (Mainline Geek Culture)
Girls?!? We don't need no stinking girls!
Hrm...come to think of it we don't have any girls, stinky or otherwise.
No problem though!

Am I the only one here that is a little annoyed that we can only mainline through an RJ11 instead of an RJ45? How are we spoze to kill someones bandwidth on a dialup???

Doesn't that need ...umm.... girls?
No, just breasts.

I hope I can buy one of the Honorable Mentions (einstein) because the winning shirts really suck. Why didn't they just let us vote for the winner?? Least then they'd know they would be selling a shirt we actually like (and therefore buy) instead of what they like.
Oh yeah .... I did it for that too :)
Hehe , I came up with the morse code idea originally because I wanted another Tattoo that spelled my wifes name without just simply using normal letters, it was to be something a little more personal but cool to geeks at the same time :)
Did anybody get the 7-up one? I think it was image #10. Good idea, but it could have been presented better. 7 for creativity.
so how come the first image, you can hit previous to get to the last image, but from the last image, you can't hit next to get to the first image?
yipiiii !!! I wonder if anyone can aford them?
