View Full Version : AR12 T Shirt competition
Roll up, roll up - here's your chance to win FREE camping at this year's AR!
Get out your crayons and pencils and have a go at designing the T shirt (and probably hoodie) for AR12.
Rules of entry:-
* the design must include 'AR12' and 'Essex' in it somehow (we haven't yet thought of a tagline for this one - remember AR10 The Welsh TT' I think it was - so you may like to have a go at that as well)
* it must be possible to have the wearers org name on the back and across the left breast
* must have sv650.org on it somewhere
* it must be 'doable' by our resident T shirt provider Paul the 6th
You may put your suggestions in this thread and open yourself up to praise and criticism or you can email them privately to myself (pm me for my email addy)
The winning design will be chosen by myself and Supervox, entirely at our own discretion! Bribery may be acceptable but will have to be worth substantially more than a Curly Wurly.
There will not be a poll :cool:
Good luck :p

Hmmmmm
"SV650.org, putting the "sex" into Essex"
What?
Its better than "Taking the "the" out of psycotherapist". :)
Looks like it's going to be a black on black design then! ;)

Hmmm, not sure if you intended it, but if you did 10 points for comedy value! :lol:
How is your average person in the street going to read that, who doesn't know what an AR is, and doesn't get the reference to Essex?
"THE ONLY WAY IS AR$E SEX"

Can you imagine the regulars propping up the bar in the pub we're staying at?
"You lot a bunch of gays on a dirty weekend then?"
"Yes, sweetheart, do you want join a group cuddle?"
Leather chaps, that tee shirt and moustaches.............................. and that's just the girls.
Lol I've just spent a very amusing 15 minutes putting 'Essex Annual ride' in to a tagline generator
(http://www.sloganmania.com/taglines_generator.htm)
Soooo many good ones!
just waiting for the "The only way is Curvy" The Only way is Pointy" tops to start.
Just curious as to why you are chosing the winning design rather than a vote?
just waiting for the "The only way is Curvy" The Only way is Pointy" tops to start.
Now, I like these ideas; could lead somewhere...
Just curious as to why you are chosing the winning design rather than a vote?
Well, let me think. Voting hasn't had the best track record in AR terms so Supervox and I decided that it wasn't worth the hassle. I know, I know, some people will object, but that's just the way it is. We're being up front and honest right from the start that it's a competition and not a poll, so people can enter or not knowing all the facts!
Have you got an idea for a design then Reeder?
Well I understand that perhaps voting for AR stuffs doesn't have a decent track record, but with tshirts its pretty simple, anyway I was just curious to the reasons why :D If that's how you wish to do it then fair enough.
Not as of yet. I actually had some influence on last years design so hopefully this year I might too ;)
Good one!
I've just realised I haven't put a closing date on the competition so lets say
Midnight on Sunday 19th February 2012 is the deadline for entries to me and/or Supervox.

Ok, well here's a couple of ideas that I've come up with.
For obvious reasons I'd feel happier if someone else's design won this little competition, so I'll offer them as ideas that you can 'tweak' or amend as you see fit.
Close to my heart Sv.
Just substitute the head of state for the Olympic flag.

Hrrrummph. Soundgarden have just announced they are playing at Download. The line up is amazing. Bear is under strict instructions to bring Chris Cornell to me at the end of the weekend, covered in chocolate custard.
So I may wear my own t-shirt that says - "AR2012 must be good if I've forfeited a night in a field with Chris Cornell for this lot"
Hey enough of the chatter! There's a thread just for the chatter!
This is for the T shirt designs .... mmm come to think of it, where are they?
More designs please - specially from you Reeder!!!

As this thread is getting off topic too often I have decided (with Sally's agreement) to delete everything that is not directly related to the t-shirt issue.
By that I mean everything that is not an idea for a shirt or a comment on one of the ideas already posted - ok?
Just one final thing on the designs themselves - please do not include bikes as part of the design as I WILL NOT get into the Curvy/Pointy argument & that's even before we start on the faired/unfaired & Gladius issues !!
If anyone has a problem with this please contact me directly & I'll be happy to discuss it with you.

So the main bits surrounding Essex are that it's one of the home counties, Really historic with lots of.... Errr... History. It's got Three Seax knives as the county coat of arms, 11th largest county (by area) in the uk. Many deprived areas, many affluent areas. Lots of agriculture, lots of science/technology companies based there..
Pretty average middle of the road type place then?
Gonna have to go with my 2012 'end of the world' theme I guess :D
"the apocalypse is coming... sv650.org annual rideout 2012"
"2012 - Official end of the world party sponsored sv650.org"
Etc please feel free to suggest slogans & ideas which could be converted into something graphical :thumbsup:
For the sake of contrast ;)

Just glow in the dark white only at the minute David, I'll have a search around to see if there's any other suppliers doing anything different but we'd be constrained to the GITD we used last year..

Very simple, uses the county flag of 3 seaxes, and would work well as glow in the dark.

E ....2
SV650.ORG
S ....1... I
E ... 2... D
X ..........E
.............O
.............U
.......SHUT UPPP
without the dots and and lined up properly printed on on the back. Nice outline of Essex and an SV on the from with 2012 on front
We haven't forgotten about this. Jonathan and I have cogitated, discussed and considered and we've narrowed it down to a short list of 2.
These two are now, privately, trying to imporve on their designs, to make them perfect.
But one other design, not in these two, is going to be used for something else.....

Jon and I just couldn't decide between them so both HoL and Paul The 6th are winners!
Paul's design of the white cross will be on the back whilst HoL's Only Way is Essex will be on the front, along with your forum name.
A free week end in poor old dry and dusty and officially in drought Essex in June for both of you .... the beer will still be flowing properly though!
We ust need to sort out the final print details, then we'll tell you how and when you can oder the clothing you want.
Thank you everyone who entered xxx :smt006
