T-Shirt Design Contest

Laug: /* What we want */

==What we want==

The T-Shirt is supposed to show support to the VideoLAN project. It would be nice if people seeing the T-Shirt could guess that its about some video player/server related project (and maybe even put the videolan.org url somewhere).

For price reasons, the number of colors on the T-shirt will likely be limited to 3. (that makes it about 7 euros production cost per T-Shirt if we order 100)

The VideoLAN graphics you might want to use are :

The VLC cone : [http://www.videolan.org/images/cone-soppera10.png http://www.videolan.org/images/cone-soppera10.png]
The VideoLAN logo : [http://download.videolan.org/images/vl4_2872x2154.jpg http://www.videolan.org/images/vl4_251x188.jpg]

More VideoLAN graphics can be downloaded here : [http://www.videolan.org/goodies.html http://www.videolan.org/goodies.html] .

The deadline : we wanted to have those for the [http://fosdem.org FOSDEM] (February 26th and 27th) ... but that might be a little short

I made an icon for the VideoLAN mediaplayer which I posted in the forums
a while ago, but nobody took interest, so I'm taking a second chance in
this competition, even though I'm not really a layout/graphical designer. :)

The "1b" variant is just to show how the design could be converted if
you can't print gradients (I don't really know how you calculate the
amount of colors).

"GET IT. PLAY IT."
The idea behind this design is how easy to use is VLC. GET the video
file, PLAY the video file. That simple.
That is why the design is clean and to the point. I used the "cone" as
the "A" in "PLAY" to bring the selling line together with the product,
making it unique to VLC.

The back is the informative part, with the logo for VLC and the URL.

[http://people.via.ecp.fr/~dionoea/videolan/t-shirts/inchaurregui/Option2.jpg option2]

"YOU GET IT, WE PLAY IT"
The concept its pretty similar to the previous one, in this one I added
the words "YOU" and "WE" to make it even more personal, more like TEAM
WORK. The user gets the video file, VLC (the company) plays it. Simple
and easy.
Again, the design is clean and to the point, just like VLC.

The back is the same, with the only change in the position of the URL,
down at the bottom of the shirt. Since almost no one tucks in a
t-shirt, its a cleaver place to put it and it will attract attention.

The design I put
with two differant back ground colors for the shirt
that I tought looked good but they can be whatever you
like. If you do white I can change the color layout.
You wanted it based on three colors but you can kind
of cheat a little the domain name is the color of the
shirt ( A see through ) so it lookes like you are
using 4 colors but you are not. The letters will be
what ever color of the shirt.
