RevLeft T-shirt Design Contest

[Edelweiss]

One of the RevLeft sponsors (thechestore.com) agreed to print some RevLeft t-shirts for us which will be sold at about $12 each at the sponsor's shop.

So for all you graphics and photoshop artists I'm opening the first Revleft t-shirt design contest. The winner which will be voted on in the CC (for reasons of accuracy of the vote) will get a free RevLeft shirt!

Just let your creativity flow freely, the only demand on your suggestions is that it should include the "www.RevLeft.com" lettering.

Post your contributions as an attached image to this thread in a reasonable size (not too big!).

good question, let's say in weeks in case there are sufficient contributions.

[Sugar Hill Kevis]

is there a limit to the number of designs people may enter?

[lvleph]

If it is multi-color will it need to have color separation done before production? What I mean is do you want it ready for printing or just the design? Maybe just teh design and that is why it is $12. $12 per shirt IMO is a bit expensive, unless they are doing color separation and the actual graphic design themselves. I know when I use to screen print it would cost me $5 a shirt to print my own shirts, but I guess they need to get paid.

yes, the shirts will be screen printed, so I just need the design. I can only tell you what thechestore.com told me about the price, and that is that it's the cheapest price possible in a reasonable quality.

I might try something a bit more complex later... but this will do for now

[BreadBros]

Has it been decided what the overall color of the shirt will be? Just white? or will there be like a black, red version etc?

[anarchista feminista]

I think it'll be great to have tees. I'll work on a design when I get home from school.

it can be any color. White shirts suck though.

I concur, in fact thats why I was asking. Red and black should definitely be options :) Oh and hot pink if you can!

[An archist]

appliable on any color, but a bit detailed maybe

no offense or anything but most of these designs suck

I liked Kevis' design.

Except like, the 'is only a tshirt away' part. that I'd take off.

[Delta]

Nice designs so far, keep 'em coming! :D

[Black Dagger]

Can't decide on the font, but here's my first three design ideas, i'm goin' for boldness + simplicity ;)

Other fonts and colour schemes could be used, magenta or purple images on black shirts for example.

[An archist]

very nice, I would certainly buy the 2nd or third one.

Heck, I'm going to try to make 'em myself if they're not for sale.

I completely agree, communism and anarchism symbols mixed together, it&#39;s great, I know some friends who would immediately buy them

[LoneRed]

ya, but it is the design of Raan.

If you want both designs, put one in each corner of the shirt, isnt being blatantly pro-RAAN

[An archist]

that&#39;s why there&#39;s "www.revleft.com&#39; under it.

Exactly, it&#39;s not &#39;pro-RAAN&#39;, RAAN is mentioned NOWHERE on the shirt, it&#39;s a shirt advertising revleft, there&#39;s no better way to do this than to use a symbol that expresses the mix of ideologies we have here, a sickle-A is that symbol.

The black star on a red background is the symbol of the Free People&#39;s Movement, are the shirts with this design Pro-FPM??? Of course not, it&#39;s a good image, nothing more.

[TC]

Blackdagger stop being ridiculous, the stylized hammer and sickle/circle a combination is RAAN&#39;s logo, you got it from RAAN&#39;s website. Its in no way the same as a plain black star on a red background (or a red star or a generic hammer and sickle) which is used by many different organizations and is more a generic icon for the movement than a particular organizaitons logo.

Its more similar to this symbol:

http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/2/24/Hammer_and_dove.png

Oooh its a hammer...and a dove...for the working class...and peace...i guess...perfect for revleft right...cause we like peace...and the working class..

...except that anyone in the UK movement would recognize it not as a generic leftist symbol but as the logo of the communist party of britain, and printing it would be endorsing the CPB.

[An archist]

But the stylished hammer and sickle are used by other organisations too.

It&#39;s also a symbol used by RAAN, yes, i didnt deny this.

I never said it was the &#39;same&#39; as any other particular symbol or another, your entire post is irrelvant.

If you dont like the symbol, good for you&#33;

Other people like it for the reasons i&#39;ve stated, deal with it and stop whingeing.


[email protected]
Its more similar to this symbol:

No it&#39;s not, the hammer/sickle and the circle-A are the most common symbols for marxists and anarchist respectively, the dove is not a common symbol for either.

You&#39;re such an idiot, you&#39;re seriously comparing the visibility of the British Community Party and RAAN? :rolleyes:

The black star on a red background is the symbol of the Free People&#39;s Movement, are the shirts with this design Pro-FPM??? Of course not, it&#39;s a good image, nothing more.

Moreover, unlike that dove/hammer symbol, this symbol combines the two primary symbols of revlefts members, hammer/sickle with circle A, that&#39;s what makes it a good symbol to use to promote the board, because it appeals to both marxists and anarchists.

The hammer/dove only appeals to marxists.

The Sickle-A on the other hand looks fucking great, and is a perfect fit for a revleft tshirt as it combines marxist AND anarchist symbolism, if you don&#39;t like it then don&#39;t vote for it, but keep your petty political shit out of this thread please :)

Hmmm, i like the image, but not the stroke, would it be possible to do the same shirt but on a khaki/greenish shirt? That sort of colour would compliment the colours in the image and you wouldnt need the stroke.

Just an idea :P

P.S. Thanks for using thumbnails :wub:

What about this?

http://img70.imageshack.us/img70/7492/greenbs4.th.jpg (http://img70.imageshack.us/my.php?image=greenbs4.jpg)

Slightly different colour, but major difference is i got rid of the lighter shade of green (?) around the edge of the image, i think it blends better that way, what ya think?

[Sugar Hill Kevis]

my only objection there is that the green in the actual picture is quite hard to see.. I&#39;ll play around a little and see what else I come up with...

[Sugar Hill Kevis]

http://img501.imageshack.us/img501/894/revleftteetee002tj9.th.jpg (http://img501.imageshack.us/my.php?image=revleftteetee002tj9.jpg)

hows about this one?

[Black Dagger]

Personally, i don&#39;t like the stroke, i don&#39;t think it works for tshirts, that&#39;s why i suggested ditching the light green around the image and the white stroke before. The stroke makes the image look separate from the shirt an draws your eye to this, without a stroke the image blends with the colour of the shirt, they become one, which i think looks alot more natural.

The colouring on the &#39;inside&#39; of the image is ok, personally, again, i&#39;d prefer that it was just the same colour as the shirt to blend better. Though it&#39;s meant to function as shading i don&#39;t think its necessary on a t-shirt (or at least with this particular image/shirt). It&#39;s such a minor detail and really adds much, whilst it does detract from the visual unity of the image IMO though not as much as the black stroke.

It&#39;s a website, thechestore.com.

Rollo, the designs must have the site url: www.revleft.com on them ;)

I think (I have no digital camera or blank tees) that I&#39;d change the predictable Hammer-n-Sickle for an AK crossed with a guitar. Black b/g, red motif and a red ribbon around the left arm.

I think (I have no digital camera or blank tees) that I&#39;d change the predictable Hammer-n-Sickle for an AK crossed with a guitar. Black b/g, red motif and a red ribbon around the left arm.
a red ribbon is a bit nazi style [/b]
They had a red BAND with a SWASTIKA on the RIGHT ARM. The ribbon would either be one that&#39;s about half an inch thick and tied with the ends showing, or a bandana style thingy eith the tied ends showing.

[Dr Mindbender]

If i had access to paint shop software Id do one with a picture of Marx, Trotsky lenin and Engels looking leftwards like on one of those big murals they used to have in Soviet era Moscow.Maybe have a quote on it saying &#39;&#39;workers of the world unite&#39;&#39; or something like that
Just a suggestion ;)

[The WilD ChilD]

Well Guys &#33;&#33; Those Shirts just Rulez&#33;&#33;&#33;&#33;&#33;&#33;

[Sugar Hill Kevis]

wow comrade, that&#39;s an awesome design&#33;

not so sure about the black though... Maybe on a red background or something like that...

[counterblast]

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v213/CapitolAnarchy/rev3.gif

Better?

[Sugar Hill Kevis]

wow, that&#39;s sweet :D

thumbs up brother

I&#39;m curious, did you vector those fists?

[Black Dagger]

It&#39;s great but... too ML (red and yellow hammer and sickle what about the non-ML members on the board?) for my tastes, and i dont like the white fist (why that has to be white while the others are just the same as the rest of the colour scheme, i.e. red and yellow) and i dont like how it is at the front.

[Pirate Utopian]

it&#39;s good im an ML-ist because that shirt is great

[cantona]

Gave it a try, first time I&#39;ve "designed" something like this...

http://img187.imageshack.us/img187/9348/revleftshirtpk0.th.jpg (http://img187.imageshack.us/my.php?image=revleftshirtpk0.jpg)

Not sure about the text on the top and the symbols on the sides...

[Black Dagger]

Nice, but not sure if i like the phrase &#39;digital class war&#39; (not sure if there is such a thing, and if there is, i doubt it happens on RL).

[cantona]

That&#39;s exactly what I was thinking, lol. Well, I was trying to imply to the fact that RevLeft is a website, then I was thinking how...came up with two phrases "digital class war" and "class war online", thought the first one was better of two "evils" :P

What about the RAAN stuff? It&#39;s common knowledge RAAN members carry fire arms and threaten MLs.

[Sugar Hill Kevis]

I love these designs comrade... The ones with the red shirts especially - not necessarily because of the colour, but because the first design is a weeny bit unoriginal :P and I&#39;m not so keen on the gradient one.

I like the Guevara one a lot, although the only qualm I have is that actually being printed, you&#39;d have to have an extension of the head going round the side - otherwise it would cut off awkwardly and look silly...

I had the same problem when i printed a tshirt with a star in the same place...

Also maybe a different font on the che one?

It&#39;s supposed to represent the link cursor from a computer. Like the one on the back of the shirt. It really not intended to do with race or anything. I think people tend to read too much into things. I&#39;m black, so I really don&#39;t think I&#39;m out promote white power or something.

And I&#39;m not a Marxist/Leninist, I just found the Soviet propaganda design to be artistic.

That&#39;s fair enough, but as i said, i dont see why the white fist needs to be coloured in this way when none of the other are? It clashes with the rest of the colours IMO, could ya do the same design with a that fist coloured in to fit the rest of the colour scheme?

And on ML, i think the problem is, and this is not limited to your design by any means, but unless the site which has offered to print RL tees is offering to do us two shirts, designs which are strictly ML will never be acceptable - RL is as much anarchist as it is marxist or indeed Leninist, that&#39;s why we have three symbols on the web banner and not one. The shirt designs have to reflect this, if they dont, i cant see them ever being selected.

And on the ML thing,

How about:

Being sectarian is stupid. Let&#39;s change that.

I mean honestly, the RAAN logo is the only thing that&#39;s going to be acceptable to both the anarchists and the marxists but then the other brances of marxism dislike the RAAN logo because RAAN members are silly and sectarian.

oh i don&#39;t know if National Bolshevik was our enemy :( but i thought the Bolsevhik Party was a communist party that lead by the Great Lenin himself :unsure:

Awesome stuff guys. But the one with the girl with the anarchist shirt holding the gun -- I find it a tad sexist. Just because of her nipples and all, it seems to be more of a "omg communizim is so hawt" type thing for 14 year old boys than a shirt you could proudly, seriously wear. But very good stuff nonetheless.

hawt, is basically a teenage way of saying "hot" - note only the very deprived, inane, twisted teenagers say it.

I&#39;m sure in your native language, the teenagers often change words to give themselves some sort of identity - it happens in all languages

My apologies, I should have taken into account local slang. Basically, my point is that the image is over-sexualized, and seems sexist. The only people who would wear it, I think, would be teenage boys who know nothing of communism or anarchism, and just think of it as an excuse to break stuff.

True, like many do :angry: . Anarchists and commies don&#39;t just break stuff, and not even all anarchists/commies break stuff...

Considering the first sentence, i dont understand the rest of what you&#39;ve said. I may &#39;respect&#39; Guevara but i dont want his face to rep this site, there&#39;s no need for any personalism on the tees at all.

[Tower of Bebel]

Maybe itcan be replaced by an anarchist symbol, (as there&#39;s already a H &#39;n S on the back) so the t-shirt represents both anarchists and communists...

IMO, the red one with ché, with the H &#39;n S on the other side would be great for a soccer team ;)

Symbols are fine and I think the hammer and sickle and circle A should both be prominently featured, even the AntiFa symbol as well is a great. I just don&#39;t think we should be putting people on shirts. Enough with the personality cults all ready.
