content: I always wanted a "Warranty VOID unless removed" T-Shirt, but someone on Youtube mentioned "Warranty VOID if NOT removed" and I think that works better. So I've set up a 99designs contest to design a new shirt with the saying:http://99designs.com.au/t-shirt-design/contests/warranty-void-removed-t-shirt-363648/entries13 designs so far, and I like #1/10/12, and #5 (typo!)

content: My only concern with #5 is whether or not it will print correctly on a shirt, having that foil pattern background. Teespring print every colour separately.

content: Quote from: chinglish on March 14, 2014, 12:24:53 amYes, but a sticker is the point, and is instantly recognisable by all as you pass by. Your design is clever, but takes time to read and digest, and of course means nothing to the muggles.

content: Alright, so I came up with this.Who can spot the easter egg? :pBTW: The muggles think we're crazy anyway. At least the code might mean to them "i don't understand that code, he must be clever", while the seal only leads to "why is that freak wearing a shirt with warranty sticker? my boyfriend got muscles".

content: Your other shirt is a lie. You gave positive feedback!My shirts are optimized for 2-4 color offset printing btw. Are there limitations regarding width and height? Also, is there any importable palette for the available colors? Might do some more designs tomorrow, so that would help a lot.Going to bed now, its 3 am in germany. :SCheers

content: Quote from: electronics man on March 14, 2014, 07:57:55 amI like #15 too, but I much prefer the clearer NOT with the arrow of #5, I think the NOT on #15 ir too hard to read. SWMBO agrees.

content: Quote from: EEVblog on March 14, 2014, 09:05:09 amWell, I just wrote on it like I would in real life. On #5, that arrow seemed a bit unrealistic, and the 'not' too small. Theres also way too much detail in it (the NOT, the texture), theres basically no way you can print that accuratly with offset printing at a reasonable price, gotta take that into account (I work at an advertising/design company, we do this all day).But it's nothing I couldn't fix if you guys prefer a cleaner version. After all, I'm doing this for the community, not for myself only.

content: I'm so fkcn fed up... What is this kindergarten? My design #15 gets reported as beeing an exact copy of #5 by the author. Dafuq?It's OBVIOUSLY designed after Dave's sticker template + I followed your guys suggestions here on the forum to make it look like you guys like it. Unbelievable. I really thought this'd be a fair competition and not some kids fight.Know what?If I win this contest, with any of my designs, I will instruct Dave to donate all the prize money directly to charity. The cause beeing donated to would be chosen by fair vote.Geez... I just want you guys to enjoy a nice t-shirt and Dave to earn some money for his efforts. I hope this doesn't get out of hands... I'm disappointed!

It will either get ignored, I could get banned or they could just remove my designs from the contest. So.. I dunno how they handle this. We'll have to see.

content: Quote from: wilfred on March 19, 2014, 05:23:09 amMaybe not, but it's just a fact that chinligh might have a more vested interest in this than the other designers. I'm not saying change your vote because of that.Also be aware that the finished designs shown aren't the finished design, I ultimately have the choice over how big the logo is and where it's placed on the shirt etc. The winning designer will just send me the graphic itself. e.g. I personally think #110 is too big and if it wins I wouldn't make it that big on the final shirt.
