DEFCON t-shirt competition winner announced!

[vic]

Our UK distributors are thinking about putting together some cool new DEFCON t-shirts for the DEFCON UK retail launch this June, and they'd be interested to hear what you think about the designs so far. Head over to http://www.defconvideogame.com/tshirts/index.php where you can vote for your favourite t-shirt from the selection. Also feel free to post thoughts/suggestions in this thread.

I am pleased to announce that the winner of the DEFCON T-shirt competition has been chosen. Congratulations goes to Dean Mccabe who entered the following award-winning design. One signed box copy of DEFCON will be with you shortly Dean

Shirts 3 is best for the front but 1 and 5 have great back prints (Whichever players have their names on that chatbox will be very happy ) but the front of shirt 5 looks like star trek at a glance O_o

So i shall go with shirt 1

How much would these retail?

[Ace Rimmer]

I like #5 the best, but none of them (in my opinion) seem to be, well, all that "great".

[Xocrates]

1, 3 and 5 are certainly my favourites...

Hum... I would say T number 1

I am with Ace. None of them really speak to me. I really don't like 2, 3, 4, or 6 that much. Of the other two, I like 1 better, largely because the design does not go onto the sleeves at all. What I think I would like best would be the front of 5 combined with the back of 2 on a black shirt. Or, the bomber from 3 and 4 combined with the back of 2, on a black background (the "Defcon 1 in 9:15" just strikes me as a bit silly).

montyphy will love the first shirt

i think green on black, would be nice, plus a pic of a massive beam attack was nice
or the world before and bright glowing after nuclear exchange exchange
or a nuked smilie on the world map..

I second those ideas...except the green on black

I prefer the front of number 1 with number 6's back, but like the others, I'm not a huge fan of any of them.

Wasn't there a t-shirt design once that featured a single sub launching a single nuke?

Yes, Neothermic made some great designs for the DEFCON launch party.

There MUST be a T-shirt with subs on it...as a consumer I demand it

If not I'll buy the next FIFA in protest

p.s. Why is there a bio-hazard sign on some of the designs?

p.p.s A "Doing the shinyBonsai Manoeuvre" T-Shirt would go down well with at least 2 folk

I would actually suggest using NeoThermic's design, though I don't want to dilute the significance of the DLP shirts. Honestly, I like the bomber, probably because it most closely mimics the design from the DLP shirts, but is different enough not to be confused with it. I just don't really like the text on the backs -- I much prefer the "DEFCON: Everybody Dies" logo.

Number one seems cool to me. I do not like the biohazzard ones at all, they simply do not fit into the theme that defcon has. It is nucler war, not biological war

Number five is nice also, but I do not like the front, should make that more like the back.

[BrianBlessed]

Personally I think something more like the incredibly sexy world leader vector posters is needed for the t-shirts. Failing that, I had a vague idea involving the Defcon globe which I hobbled together as best I could from screenshots of the menu.



Ideally you would have the whole globe span the front and back of the t-shirt with the DEFCON text wherever is suitable, also a better explosion would be neccessary obviously...

I would gladly buy one feturing a "Feud Placement" on the front left breast (or any location, but that would be my first choice).

For those unsure of what I mean, examine these screens (I prefer the 1 at top over the 2 at top style).

Me too! Now that would be a T-Shirt.
