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 would say that 99 per cent of what my father has written about his own life is false." - L. Ron Hubbard Jr.
I am an insensitive clod.
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?

...are there any shirts available for those of us who don't want to look like a complete dork?
Congratulations to the winners.

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.

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...
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).
A dozen cool shirts, but image a beowulf cluster of these...
I'm sorry I couldn't help myself.

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!
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...
Keep on hitting refresh, let's see how slow we can make it!
good point, all of those tshirt submissions and not one captured the true essence of slashdot... the flame/troll posting AC.
I would of loved to have seen all of the hundreds of entrys, why not post them all?
"think of it as evolution in action"
"I buy anything that ThinkGeek sells because I'm 1337." Come to think of it, that would make a good shirt.
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.)

It's no drawing, it's probably the most photo ever taken of Einstein.
And you can't use his image without his estate's permission. He's handled by the same company that handles the Three Stooges, Monroe, James Dean, etc, etc.. Can't think of the company's name, though.
I don't need no instructions to know how to rock!!!!
Congratulations, you've just admitted to being a Windows user.
man apropos
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.
Not only that, but using any image of Albert Einstein for commercial purposes requires a license from the heirs of Einstein.

It's only fitting that one of the entries should have a typo, eh?

Ok, how many of you actually looked up the "If you can read this, you belong here" T-shirt to confirm that it actually said "Slashdot.org"??? If you did, then you DEFINATELY belong here!
"Freedom means freedom for everybody" -- Dick Cheney
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!
Oh, like we want to see nerds in wet t-shirts! *SHUDDER*
Boobies never hurt anyone. - Sherry Glaser.
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.

shirts out on the street, you can expect an immediate ass-kicking. You've been warned.
Sorry, I think it's a little tasteless to associate Slashdot with something as sad as heroin addiction.

Oh, and I really would've loved to see Dan's design (soothing green light) done. As is, I'll probably go with the Lewallen one.

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.

A syringe with an RJ11... It just makes no sense...
At first I thought it was a vacuum cleaner, Apple style (kinda like the iBrator.) It was funny then, because it was like, "Slashdot: Still sucking", but then I realized it was a syringe and was just confused.

I know people who had multiple (IMO good) t-shirt ideas but only submitted one because of this rule. And yet Chris Hil has three different shirts out of the nine runners-up?
Maybe the Slashdot editors forgot to read their own article?
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.

Can't we mod Dan's shirt up?
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:

Here's a quick hack-n-slash job of it.
Trolls lurk everywhere. Mod them down.
I'm surprised that some overly sensitive person hasn't complained about using drug paraphernalia to promote slashdot. Not that there's any kind of positive public image to be upheld, but still.
The possession of prejudices is not nearly as dangerous as the inability to abandon them.
