I find it interesting that the only one done by a professional designer was not a finalist. I'm not surprised though, lots of people are too proud to accept the opinion of a designer. I guess the tacky martial arts uniform look is what you're going for.

At least there are some cool jackets in there.

In my eyes, Teamliquid remains the best foreigner team in terms of branding and design. Everyone else is tacky, amateur, and stuck on the over-the-top gamer meme.

Jeez dood why you hating on my design so much all of the sudden. The votes are obviously falling in your favor at this point, no need to be rude about it. I was hopeful that I had a shot last night and was even a little in the lead for a bit but it looks like I was destined to lose this vote...



What the hell is your problem? Everyone submitted ideas that they liked. If you don't like it don't vote for it asshole. Or are you just mad that your cheap looking mexican fiesta design is only getting 3% of the vote?

Not really mad, I knew I probably wouldn't win- TL isn't a dedicated graphics site and most votes will come from people with limited experience in graphics so it was predictable.
I guess I am inevitably disappointed though in spite of this.

To explain why, around 3 years ago I entered a photomanipulation contest online (prize worth ~£1000) and submitted this piece:



I was expecting to come top 5 minimum. I spent 2 weeks working on it in my free time. I came 62nd. From that point on I made a rule that online design contests were not worth my time or energy. I realised the level of imaging quality, the detail within the design process, and the attempt to do something unique were irrelevant to most people, despite being the core of graphic design/imagery for me.

Anyway last week I broke my own rule even after concerns over the clarity of the contest rules and specs. Despite immensely enjoying the project I took on, and the excitement of the design process, I've again been left ultimately frustrated for both myself and a few other entrants.

I don't mean to insult or flame the artists personally, It was just a release of frustration and its just what I feel.

It's a damn tshirt you dont need to make a revolutionary design for a tshirt it just has to look cool i mean if they wanted they could have paid a professional guy and do it this was just a opportunity for us the community to feel like we contributed to something.. why isnt that enough why so much drama you cant allways win..

and yes im not a professional or anything, but one thing i have is good taste, i allways made jerseys and a lot of other stuff for fun and for friends if that makes me not suitable to win oh well...

just chill

Not only is the leading design simplistic in technique it also looks ugly as shit. I hope FXO has fun rocking that ugly embarrassing disgrace to humanity when they're in starcraft tournaments, they will probably end up losing because of how ugly that shit is. Congratulations on your spectacular feat of making the worst thing ever made by human hands

It's a damn tshirt you dont need to make a revolutionary design for a tshirt
