Hey all! Last minute change of plans has made it so Im without a shirt design. The costs of the posters prohibits me from going crazy color-wise, so I want to keep it simple. And here's where you come in!
You can design the shirt. Its a simple concept.
I want a blue shirt with white ink. And it will say BEST SHOW FOR LIFE .
That's it! I need some designs ASAP, so if you're game, get cracking! I will also throw you some free crap that I've got laying around here as well.
You can post all entries in this thread!
Thanks!
Tom.

This website (http://www.bluecotton.com/studio.html?target=175&garColor=1&ranNum=0.373376508243382) might be helpful for the would-be designers.
-
This is sort of a first draft. Tom, do you need a design immediately or is there a little time?

Awesome link! Here's a quick crappy one I made. Couldn't find an ankh symbol so I went for aum.

EDIT: Just saw God's design ... it's awesomeness shames me.

Here's something simple I came up with in the T-Shirt Maker

EDIT: I, Too, Just saw God's design. I guess you have to be logged in to see it. Great work!

Wow. This is really simple and elegant -- and something that you could NEVER explain to someone who doesn't know the show without a lot of yammering.
I don't like it.
I LOVE IT
Personally, my seatbelt is over-the-shoulder.

For Life

Any chance these will come in size small?!?!?

This is sort of awesome.
-
Any chance they will come in XXX?
-
laffing out loud at God Stewart's shirt!!! I WANT IT!

Another vote for small. I put in small on my pledge. I'm always ending up with these huge, tent-like shirts.
And another vote for God Stewart-- all of the designs are awesome, but his just has that special zing.
-
I love what you guys have done so far, but maybe we can think along the lines of just a font that says BEST SHOW FOR LIFE. Maybe something weirdly retro? I know I'm not explaining myself well, and I'm trying to formulate the image in my mind, but I picture it just being the words BEST SHOW FOR LIFE.
Is that stupid?
Tom.
-
like the "new bridge is for lovers" one, but without the muffler?
-
Yes. Something like that.
I never said I was original.
Tom.
-
like this kind of retro?:

So it doesn't really work without the symmetry (or closer kerning), but:

I still like God Stewart's.

I couldn't decide if using '4' in place of 'for' was the best thing ever, or the worst. So here are both versions (that belong on a Pepsi can in 1984):

Also, for unrelated and possibly negative bonus points, here is a picture of a hippy Zach Galifianakis in aluminum foil sunglasses, fellating an invisible giant who orgasms butterflies (sorry if this is a repost, but how could it possibly be):

It's a stork. Get it? A stork. For life. Nevermind.

How about this
On the front
"Best Show"
with a picture of Tom
On the back
"For Life"
with a picture of Eric Rudolph! That guy's getting NO pub these days.

I like it, but if you're going to use the numba 4, it should really be "4 LYFE!!!!!!!!!" or something.

gotta cast my vote for God Stewart's "strapped in, helmet on" design.
y'all can find some great retro freeware fonts here at DaFont:
clicky (http://www.dafont.com/theme.php?cat=115&page=1)
came up with this:

Thanks for the kind words everybody!
I did a new one that might be closer to Tom's image. Yes I am obsessed with Futura.

Inspired by Yesno's Abba box idea.

Love it, PH!

I like KTB's best so far.
-
Last one I swear! I'd be proud to wear Kick the Bobo's shirt.

Phantom Hugger's approach is better with the mirrored Bs like in the Abba logo, but I've nonetheless tried to make a slightly improved version my Abba box attempt. (My design "skills" consist of using templates in Pages for the most part.)
(http://gallery.mac.com/susie.john/100068/TIGHTER/web.jpg)
I'm leaning towards Josh and KTB.
-
KTB!
-
I know I'm being indecisive here, but I would not be opposed to the Dogmo head picture in one-color high contrast with 70s lettering.
Type in www.friendsoftom.com/charleyhorse (or anything incorrect) and you will see it. I'm too dumb to post it here, and I have to get over to Costco before they close.
Thanks!
Tom.
-
Dogmo would be cool, but I've gotta say KicktheBobo's is pretty tough to top.
-

I think Phantom Hugger wins but...
Seriously this is my last one.

Both are great! Nod to God. But I will not stand for a capital "F" in "for"!

Best in Show for life?

here's a dogmo one.

should the text be a little less inside? or maybe have the text and then some reference at least to WFMU so someone could figure it out if they wanted to do some investigation?
-
This is sort of a first draft. Tom, do you need a design immediately or is there a little time?
Definitely my favourite. Veiled references for life!

Almost did just that, but couldn't work up the courage. Spelling life that way takes bigger brass than I have, as a designer!
-
I, for one, would be delighted to wear Dogmo's image on my bosom.
-
I'm open sourcing my Dogmo drawing if anyone out there is a better Graphic Designer/Typographer than I am feel free to revamp the dogmo design. There's a link to my blog in my profile; you can download a pretty high-rez dogmo there. If you need a 300ppi image email me.
I also made a dogmo desktop image for Crimestick and anyone else who cares to grab it.
Cheers all!
P.S. Liz Berg is rocking this morning!

Thanks!

I should be looking for a new job right now.
But I couldn't resist!

I thought this was pretty good until I looked at the other entries.
But what the heck?

Everyone -
These are AMAZING. Seriously. I love them all.
I am going to make a Dogmo shirt later this year. I promise. How could I not make a shirt that features Dogmo on it?
And I love the other stuff you guys did. I hope to incorporate it into the new and improved FOT site, which will be coming soon.
But there's a new shirt design that I got that trumps everything. I cannot believe how dumb and perfect is it. I will unveil it Very Very Soon.
Thanks for all the creativity. You guys are just the best.
Tom.
-
A stirring and stupid song tonight, a dumb and perfect T-shirt later--my cup runneth over!
-
I'm going to set up a shop in my garage and make tshirts with all of the designs in this thread that don't have copyright logos on them and there is not a thing any of you can do about it. I might just make one t-shirt with all the designs.
BWAHAHAHA!
-
That was seriously tons of fun— making the designs and looking at everyone's amazing entries. The FOT army are proud company.

....most fun/constructive weekend of 2008 so far!
Personally, I'm kind of partial to the Timmy Von Trimble Athletic Club, XXXXXXS.

This one is better than my last entry. Ever smaller best show objects spiraling smaller into the apex which is Dogmo.
Unfortunately I haven't been listening to the show long enough to know that many things that would be best show related. The only other one that I couldn't find a way to put in was a tornado.
