T-Shirt Design Competition

Right, after a little bit of research I came up with this



'The White Rose of York remains as the prime symbol of Yorkshire identity.'
From this I concluded it to be the most fitting symbol of Yorkshire as well as looking reasonably classy. I guess it's not totally clear what it is from my picture and I perhaps should have extended the stem a little longer past the leaf. I understand some may say that it's not bike related enough, and that's a fair point. However it's something reasonably clean, simple and easy on the eye. It's a basic white design which is easy enough to absorb in a quick look and not overly detailed. Not sure if it being one colour would make it cheaper to produce or not? Fonts can be changed, the design jigged about etc etc and please feel free to use it as a template if you want or just change parts of it, I really don't mind as its there to help. It's just perhaps an idea or some inspiration for someone else to come up with something better. I do personally feel though that whatever crazy fonts people come up with for the place name and AR11, that the username part should stay very easily readable and clear. It'll just keep things simpler when identifying people at a quick glance (people will be able to attack me quickly that way and without me noticing they're coming for me).

Also I'd just like to apologise for detracting people's attention away from fenjer's submission on the previous page and would like people to go back and have a look at it and offer her some feedback as to what they think, as it's only fair that my posts don't take away any attention from other people's entries.

I know that I'm not photoshop or design expert but it's the best I could do I have a .PSD? version and .JPEG version saved on my comp if anyone wants it sending to them making it easier to edit.

Please feel free to offer positive/negative feedback.

Thanks Reeder - your rose inspired me.

Looking at a rear brake-disk of an SV, there are 5 fixing bolts, just like the Yorkshire Rose has 5 petals.

That got me thinking, then with some sights as a hub, and a deer as a target I give you these.

Text, Font, Position etc needs adding but...

For on a black t-shirt.



For a white one

OHHHHH I LIKEY THAT SK!!!!!! The one to go on a black shirt is brill

Reeder, design usually goes on front, with a small 'username' on the top left of shirt, user name goes on the back.

Although, I kinda like the idea of previous ARs going down the back of the tshirt rear, with the username on the top.Like this.......

How about a wee change in colour to yellow for the disk carrier??

I like that idea Dizzy. We had a list of the villages/towns passed through on the route on the back of the AR09 one, also a bit like a tour list. I also agree that all AR's should be there, not just the ones you've been on.

I like your design Reeder, but I like even more the rose incorporated in the wheel/bambi combo.

Some good ideas happening here

Yeah, I thought the same. I like neat. Its purely for example, I'd be happier for someone to play with it and do something better.
But as said before I'm crap at computer design.....far better with a pencil and other media..in fact, I'm crap with computers full stop lol

See someone thats been here since the dawn of time as far as the org is concerned...and someone with a better memory than dear peggyleg

It seems he is somewhat of a orgmuse as I too was inspired by Reeder but got swept up in plumbing/fitting a bath and have not had a chance to play with the rose theme.

SK yours is tops so I'm going to sit back & await the final version.

SK I like your idea, I spotted the rose form before reading your description, really good.

I think you missed the point - Everyone gets the entire tour list - not just the ones they have been on.
