T-Shirt Design Contest
Contents
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 a 100)
The VideoLAN graphics you might want to use are :
The VLC cone : 
The VideoLAN logo : 
More VideoLAN graphics can be downloaded here : http://www.videolan.org/goodies.html .
The deadline : we wanted to have those for the 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.
"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.
