Hey guys!

I know we've already got one contest going, but here's another great one for you to try your luck with!

Abandonia is venturing into the merchandise market, and we're giving you the opportunity to come up with the designs that will be available to buy!

We have seven items that need designs:

Men's T-shirts
Babydoll Tees
Black Caps
Mugs
Buttons
Oval Stickers
Rectangular Stickers

Rules:

• Entries may be submitted in this thread up until the 1st of July. DO NOT post questions or comments here, another thread will be opened for contest discussion.
  
• Each designer may submit as many designs as he/she wants. Please note which item each design is intended for in your submission posts.
  
• Use of the Abandonia logo is NOT obligatory. You may use it in the original form, you may just write abandonia.com in small print... It doesn't matter, as long as the name is written somewhere.
  
• A designer may think of his own slogan / sentence / graphic to go with the design.
  
• Images submitted MUST conform to a 300dpi standard. Please refer to CafePress's Beginner's Image Workshop for further information.
  
• Images submitted that do not comply with quality standards will have to be disqualified from consideration :(

Please Note:

You may find it useful to use the "Create It!" link that will take you to the designer page of each particular item in order to find out how your image will look on the merchandise.

T-shirt designs may include both a front and back image, so if you use a two-sided design, please be sure to note which side is which in your submission!

Judging:

All acceptable entries will be judged by our beloved site owner, Kosta.

Prizes:

People whose designs are accepted will receive a free item from the product category the design was intended for!

Have fun, and good luck!

ANY designs submitted for the purpose of this contest will become the property of abandonia.com. The original designer can NOT claim any part of future potential revenues, royalties, or other form of compensation. By submitting your entries, you agree that you relinquish all rights to the designs and their possible uses to abandonia.com.

If a winning design is selected that has been submitted by a contestant under the age of 16, parental consent must be provided before the design can be used, and a prize sent. If no parental consent can be aquired, then the contestant's design will be forfeit, and a new winning design will be selected.

Edit by Maikel:

The 'official Abandonia logo ™ © (etc.)' can be found at this url:
http://www.abandonia.com/~maikel/ab_logo.zip

It's in .eps format. which can be opened by a wide variety of different graphical programs. But best to open it in a vector-based one, like Illustrator. Because then it keeps the nice scaling feature :)

enjoy.

Please follow the instructions here for help creating images for submission ;)

It looks great on the hat, Fawful, but it should be submitted as its own image, otherwise, it can't be used. :)

here is what it looks like

it looks better on a button

Please guys, SERIOUS submissions only, otherwise this topic will become a mess

Here we go, with some designs I came up with. Tai helped a bit :D

These jpegs are pretty crappy quality, but the actual PNG versions I have are all 10"x10" at 300 DPI as requested, and it'd be easy as pie to resize them to fit smaller things like mugs and stickers if better tshirt designs are submitted.

this second one is intended for the women's tshirt but could go on others too (apples provided by Tom Henrik - cheers!)

I should also thank Bobbin (I think) for the space invader logo thingy - it was taken from his wallpaper.

go grab the logo! ;) , check the first post for download location.

Where can we get Illustrator? Googling for it's no good...

here is a preview of my first attempt.
(sorry for the size of the basic file, but it's at 200dpi...)

edit: i changed the colours of this work a little bit...
