We will be using PrintMojo to print out silk screened Team Liquid Tshirts! TL has offered to pay for orders ahead of time to provide this service to us. The more shirts we can sell, the more possibilities of other designs or other items will be open to us.
Note that we may work with the designer to tweak the final design to look its best. We also have the option to change the color of the shirt. Also note that the designs on these shirts can be bumped up to a bigger size to fit the shirt better. Maximum image size is 12" wide by 14" in height.

Note that some tshirts that had Blizzard imagery were disqualified from the contest because of legal issues with Blizzard.

I think that the blue horse/shield would look really awesome on a black shirt.
Maybe its just me but that shirt by Jellycat would make me feel very gay/childish wearing it :S I like the Blue Horse and Shield shirt because it looks very trendy and i like the pylon shirt for its simplicity. im voting Horse and Shield
Jellycat w00t w00t!!!!!! 2 things though, why were the flags taken away from the scarf? Also, can someone please point out the units in Jellycat, I can make some of them out,(like the battlecruiser and the guardian) but some of the others I just can't seem to find the form.

I think the flags were removed due to limitations on the # of colours we can use.

Why didn't they just turn them blue? because it would be hard to identify the flags?
so as zXk3 could not finish vector tracing the jellycat logo (the flags need to be done, he was busy irl), I would like to try and learn how to vector trace and finish it, if it ends up winning. But the deadline is passed, is it too late?
also it would probably come out better if someone who has experience vector tracing would do it, as I've never done one before.. i have the psd file link just PM me if you want it.
FTW.. my vector trace was choosen? well.. i have plenty of time now, if it is possible (if everyone agrees) just tell me the details that i should add, the flags and the units silhouettes? anything else?
P.S: zelniq pm if you need to know something about tracing (isnt that hard)
voted for skull horse,btw, i think that it is feasible (and kinda easy) to vector trace that design.. that way i can be easily divided in max5 colors, and printend in any tshirt

definitely just work on the unit details and flags like you said to make them as recognisable and close to the original as possible, while still keeping one colour. it would also be nice, once you've finished the touching up, to show us a range of colours. someone posted a few different types before in the other thread with eg blue shirt yellow design and they looked really great. much better than on a plain white tee, imo. great work btw.
we can work on prettying up details later. pls work with jellycat to make it pretty =].
i realize the shirt mockups arent all presented in the best light but i didnt have time to put in too much effort in making the shirt mockups pretty. use your imagination =p.

This would make the shirt 10x better.
Also, I think all the people who are saying that the pony is gay and childish just don't get it. It's not childish, it's humerous, it shows that Team Liquid is a place where we can have a good time and not take things too seriously. Having a shirt like the skull horse sends the wrong message. IMHO, it reminds me of someone who picks a BNET name like XXXDESTROYEROFWORLDS666XXX, by trying to be tough and cool, it ends up seeming rediculous.
what unit is supposed to be that silhouette? also, im sorry for the flags guys.. that was the best i could do working only with 1 color.. so the ones with more than 2 colors (excluding white) seems a lil bit weird..
theres the hi-res preview (for those who could want it... SLOW CONNECTIONS ALERT)
JellyCat's would have been the awesomeness with the flags. But now it's just not special . I really like suffeli's blue horse and shield, it just rocks.
Edit: I just read the posts in this thread, if you guys can make a good version (with flags) of the jellycat's logo, that's like 10 times better.
I don't mean to be rude...but why do people like a 3 year old pony design over the sophisticated shield one? -_-
All this talk about manliness...mantoss...grow some balls pussy cry more emo boy etc etc on this forum...and you guys vote the cutey horsey? I am confused...

Because it's a pony~ I bet even Reach likes ponies. Also, it was our logo for the sandlot, which means something to us ^^
Suffeli is only losing this because the shirt looks really ugly on this way should have just took his example he posted on the blue shirt. I'm pretty sure that would have gotten alot of extra votes! But oh well, lets wait and see for the winner
Jellycat's is my fave. The horse/shield one looks professional, but that's the problem. It looks exactly like a mass-produced shirt for a beer company or something you'd get at the mall. I hope we end up going with one that's more unique.
And to whoever said Jellycat's logo is childish... uhmmm, this is a shirt designed and chosen by a bunch of people who know each other through a Starcraft website. Don't take it too seriously.

any comments welcome..
who knows, just replace it with a zergling or whatever
I also think you could be a more liberal with the editing: redraw the letters/stars slightly, change which units are there, and if possible, change the order of the flags so that you have light/dark alternating, which would make the flags much easier to see.

Because teamliquid isn't a bunch of nerds trying to act cool and tough with a badass logo. Teamliquid is a bunch of nerds who enjoy having fun.
If someone asked you about your shirt. Youd look a hell of a lot less nerdy saying, "yeah this is a shirt of an online community im a part of" wearing the jellycat logo.
We take our Starcraft seriously, however the jellycat logo shows that we do it because its fun, not because we think we are baddass when we cheer "SAVIOUR FIGHTING!!!"
I can garrantee you will have a much higher chance of picking up chicks with a jellycat logo shirt on then any other one of these shirts
wtf? are you guys retarded, that horse logo is nothing compared to either the horse shield or the teamliquid, by fanta i think, which has the red q (if it were a red T and red L it might be more suitable, but i like it none the less)

I agree, the sandlot logo shirt has a bunch of units in it.
whats the difference between wearing a shirt thats all childish and says team liquid site for sc games and stuff or a forum and wearing a cooler looking shirt like a horse and a shield with team liquid same reason for a site for starcraft gaming and forum whatnot

You just stated it yourself, one looks childish and stupid and the other looks cooler obviously.
The fact of the matter is no one knows what TL is except us, so that pony shirt is going to look gay to 99.9999% of the people who see you wearing it. The other shirt will at least look more normal and people will question it less and just assume its some designer shirt or whatever.
Out of the thsirts, jellycat's looks best but I don't think I would buy it. I'd deffinately buy suffeli's design if it had a transparent background and a tad bigger.
I'm back! I caught some really nice pikes and perches Anyway... It's really hard to see the real end result without the transparency and / or the real shirt color. So I made some quick edits to sort things out... and yeah, it looks too small on that shirt. I won't probably buy that pony shirt since it is too childish and it really isn't an interesting design for me. I wouldn't wear it anywhere except maybe home. But it really comes personal taste and I don't really care about arguing what looks best or worst.

I think the mysterious unit is a goon.
Also, I think the blue shield design is way too serious. I mean it's cool and all but it definitely lacks the fun spirit of the Sandlot logo, plus, it's fucking awesome. Don't diss the horsy.
Ok, my friend dropped by today and was wearing a Tshirt with the skull horse design. Just the skull part and some different stuff around it. Were is that from? I dont really think we should use a design that is already out on the market so to speak.
Without the flags I don't see why we would go with the sandlot logo. I love it as much as the next guy, but it looks really amateurish and loses it's charm when it's stripped down like that.
The blue shield is the best looking one by far, particularly since it will still be scaled and the texture (ie. transparency, etc.) will be improved. Seems like a no brainer to me.
btw all the votes that aren't for the top 2 shirts are basically wasted.
I think we should do a re-vote with the top 2 shirts as the only choices. There is gonna be a lot of unhappy people with the pony choice, if you add all the votes from every shirt that isn't the pony its pretty damn close too.
The way I see it the pony shirt wearers will wear just about anything so it doesn't matter if their shirt loses. On the other hand, All the pony haters will settle for anything but that. Everyone makes a sacrafice and we settle on the compromise.
Blue horse/shield all the way....but it doesn't look like it's going to win. I really don't want to wear the jellycat logo in public so please people vote for blue horse/shield.
edit: I just saw that the current pic for the horse/shield was not there originally, so I vote we redo the poll between that and the jellycat logo. (maybe skull included too).
Really I agree with you guys that
jellycat: insider shirt. nice to people who go to tl.net to everyone else looks retarded. I personally will not buy one of those.
horse/shield: looks almost like a brand shirt that a designer made. It's difficult to tell that it's a starcraft shirt and you could wear it in public without many questions.
On July 06 2007 16:58 CharlieMurphy wrote: You guys' justification of the pony is fubar.
I don't think it has anything to do with the pony. The scarf looks like it's drawn on with a magic marker now that it's solid.
Even if you like the pony, the modest duplication of the design that we'de have to go with is too much of a sacrifice. I'm surprised so many people are in support of it in that overly simplified state.
You guys realize that we actually expect you to buy these shirts right?
Seems to me we've got a bunch of people voting based on aligence and group think, rather than what they would actually be willing to PAY to get. Whether you agree with Charlie Murphy or not, at least he intends to buy one.
Can we do that though? I thought the reason the pic was editted was because the flags were too small to be printed on a shirt.
EDIT: Also, the SC units need to be editted out and replaced with different shapes or grass or something. That was the reason the other design got disqualified.
horse/shield: looks almost like a brand shirt that a designer made. It's difficult to tell that it's a starcraft shirt and you could wear it in public without many questions.
Horse/Shield FTW
You guys are so insecure.
This is a STARCRAFT forum, if you are ashamed of telling other people that you are/were a Starcraft nerd, so be it, don't buy and wear the shirt.
Also, the point of having a poll is so that the majority of the people get what they want, if you are not in the majority, too bad so sad.

manablue told me to calm it down so ill keep it short. My points were made, you obviously don't understand my logic, and thats fine.
Think of it like preliminary presidential voting. Everyone votes for best democrat / republican. then the two go to finals and there is the final voting.
If half the votes are not for the pony shirt, then yes a lot of people will be unhappy with the pony shirt, how does that not make sense?

And it's fine if it does. Let's not get too emotional about this guys.
mnm has put a TON of effort into making this tshirt thing fly from the early stages. Obviously there will be a lot of care put into the final decision about the shirt.
She's done such a great job with this project. Don't start doubting her now, in the home stretch.
I personally prefer Jellycat's logo because it's different. All of the other designs look like generic graphic-design tees, with little life or invention in them. There are thousands of places to find dramatic looking t-shirts, but not so many to find more original, idiosyncratic shirts like Jellycat's. Its playful and interesting; serious-face overly designed shirts are a dime a dozen.

It's because people are looking at these shirts as the embodiment of their feelings about teamliquid. They want to make sure what they wear accurately represents the feel of the community.
That said, I do think that it wouldn't be too difficult for a simple final vote to take place after this one with the top two entrants. After all, the jellycat is popular but it does not have the overwhelming vote.

My sentiments exactly.
And to whoever asked, I will definitely buy the pony, but probably not the shield one... since I can just get almost the same design more easily at a store nearby (plus, not my style).
Oh, and if my favorite design doesn't win, I insist we have more and more different polls until it does. </sarcasm>
I definitely think there should be another poll with the top finishers. When I first noticed this topic and clicked on it, I scrolled down and saw the suffeli's horse/shield on a blue square on a white shirt. It looked odd, and had I not read that it would be scaled on a blue shirt, I wouldn't have voted for it. I'm sure many people had the same experience, but I'm not so sure many people also read that it would be scaled (ie. Fakesteve) so I think the poll may be a bit biased.
The jellycat logo looks childish to me imo. Sure it's original but if that were the only shirt in my drawer and I were going to club, I would go topless.
I mean the pony shirt is the most original, and has the clever little unit silhouettes forming the grassy hill the horsey is standing, but nevertheless its... a fucking pony. The horse and shield looks good, but it is a little generic given the style of print t-shirts. Maybe the artists can go back and re-do the most voted on logos and see if there's something that would be cool enough to wear in public (besides the fact that you're wearing a shirt from a website, but I mean aesthetically good looking) to the inattentive viewer, but teamliquidy/starcrafty enough so that other nerds will notice it.
Um for me, I only hesitated to vote for suffeili's shirt when I saw his second one, and voted the first one because it has a chance at winning. I could probably find some crayola markers and make the Jelly shirt on my own on a blank white t-shirt, the shield one looks amazing. I like the other shirts too, but I voted for the one I liked the best and that has a chance at winning. However, if multiple shirts were processed, I would buy several.

If it were that easy thats what they would do. When you get a silk screen u have to buy in a bulk of at least 36~ or so shirts. Its much easier/cheaper to do it this way.
I say we drop all the designs all together and just pick a cool looking font ONLY, if no one can agree.

QFT. i understand its a inside community thing that even i love. the sandlot picture was funny and fit us great. but to represent the community to the rest of the non internet world with a goofy horse makes NO sense to me. Personally, the pylon or the blue horse n shield or horse skull (for us brutal metal guys [and gals?]) are my favorites. Safest way to go IMHO is the Pylon shirt. I mean cmon, i wanna see some shirts on OGN n shit of us TL guys with signs going 'TL Fighting, buy a shirt like mine'
Heres another idea i thought of. One thing i really liked about the Pony shirt was the hill he stood on with all the starcraft icons. If that shirt just didnt have the horse id be all about it. Maybe do something different with the placement of those little icons or w/e.

I'm going to have to agree here, It's a very "cute" design, but seriously, you guys would never wear that out in public. I also believe the votes are a bit skewed because the two coloured designs did not have the shirt colour updated until well after the pony was in front.
Sigh, The same arguments keeps coming up over and over again in this post.
1. "I would not wear shirt X however I would wear shirt Y, thats why shirt Y should win" - Ok, and im sure that people who want to wear shirt X are going to feel the same way. Your argument is pointless.
2. "Lets have another poll, cos clearly anyone who voted for anything other than the sandlot logo would rather die than wear it" - Massive Generalisation, However a new poll might be an idea due to the updated designs (Including flags on the pony)
3. "The pony looks gay/the shield looks tryhard" - Congrats you have an opinion, we have a poll because its a vote on what the majority thinks, not what each single person thinks.
4. "Why can't we have 2 shirts?" - Because there are costs involved with making these shirts. These costs are higher with the less shirts ordered.
5. "Eat shit Fen" - Congrats, your a just a retard.
So maybe we should stop with the pointless posting and have something constructive people. Because in the end, its the poll which is going to decide, not your post.
Flaccid your Dragoon shirt was not in high resolution afaik. Good post Fen. Oh and could you stop posting new designs? This thread is nothing more than a Poll, state your opinion on the current designs and get the hell outa here.
This is how the blue one would look on a black shirt btw.
i think this thread is good for stimulating discussion but as all the shirts weren't shown on their intended color and tl.net either has no imagination or can't read, the poll might not reflect the views of tl.net anyway
Ha, I didn't realize the horse skull one said "Totally pwning your ass" "Since 2002". I don't think many people realize that, I wouldn't be able to wear it some places. btw, the horse and shield is even better.
yea,,,, i think we were supposd to have them out by the time blizzcon started so everybody could wear the tl shirts, but i guess things got delayed?? i dunno,.....

Id wear the jellycat thing to a place like wcg or blizzcon where everyone is a gamer and no one will have much better. But just on a day-to-day basis, no.
Its a funny logo any whatnot, but lots of ppl vote for it as a joke. If you see a guy with a horse with a scarf on their shirt, wouldent you question their sexuality?
Smurg1's is good, just maybe a different color shirt
The Jelly cat logo is just leagues ahead of the other self-consciously tech-cool-metal-edge-futuristic-techno logos. I'm so glad it won the poll and is going to be the official t-shirt design.

Yo mnm, I think WCG are over. Where are the shirts? Hope you haven't decided to cancel them. Please have some news. I tried to pm her, but to no avail, I'm dying to know something, anything about the shirts. *crosses fingers* Someone ask her asap.
my vote goes to Jellycat Logo. I don't know why your complaining. What is teamliquid about? Starcraft. So, the most obvious choice would be to choose the one that is Starcraft related. The other 2 (blue horse and shield; skull horse) just don't. Plus, I'd rather wear a "childish" shirt than one that says "totally pwning your ass since 2002".
