    I would definitely wear #13. It's dope. It got my vote. Anyone have link to more places that sell shirt with design like that?
  • WDavid · 1 year ago
    I vote for #2

    13
  • PXLated · 1 year ago
    Here's to #3
  • Kris · 1 year ago
    Well done, it is never easy to admit when one has maybe erred (I'm rubbish at it myself). I like #4, with special mention to #12.
  • Rabdsquirlz · 1 year ago
    #3
    would vote for #13 but I'm pretty sure printing something like that would be very impractical.
  • Joshen · 1 year ago
    Nr 3 or 13, but a prefer 13
  • Athios · 1 year ago
    I'd say 13. I would actually wear that.
  • SOOPERGOOMAN-THATPSPGUY · 1 year ago
    Number 13 without a doubt. It's classy, not busy and gets to the point in a simple way. A real great job on that to the artist. How much $$?
  • Josh · 1 year ago
    Honestly, I agree with David Ponce in that none of them are really good but if i had to pick the least horrible one ill go with 13. The rest are just plain and boring.

    The life of all graphic artists™ begins at the copy© machine®
    "command/copy ~command/paste" ~bo-ring~

    Maybe you could have given more design parameters? Queries? Purpose?

    Also,.. Up the ante'. I didn't even give this contest a second glance.

    Love the site though!
  • tim · 1 year ago
    agree with josh and his comments - and i'd go with 13 too.
    however, the practacality (is that a word?) of printing that shirt at a decent price to be able to sell it, is probably out of the question...
  • Styletax · 1 year ago
    i run a t-shirt design contest on my own website so i should know what would sell best. And i would go for number 4 ik like it, it's by far the most beautiful shirt on the page. The only thing is i dont know if it could be screenprinted because you can't use gradients then and only a number of collors (usually six and a white base color beneath al that.) but whatever i'm rambling, just typed this whole post on my iphone like a real gadgetfreak should ;)
  • Styletax · 1 year ago
    shit the titles are above the shirts :) well then ignore the number in the above post i meant nr 3 then.

    Entry #3 !
  • Aldabra · 1 year ago
    Bugger that. You're a neat gadgetry blog aimed at geeks with high disposable income who like flashing lights. You need something based on this:

    http://flickr.com/photos/leahbuechley/232663076...

    and you need to be aiming at low volume/high value eyecandy rather than disposable polycotton.

    So, maybe you could have a 2x3 grid which spells out OHGIZMO in Braille at intervals and measures ambient light levels the rest of the time. I like that because people would have to understand Braille to read it but it isn't Braille because you can't feel it. But it's not very gizmoid; spell it out in ASCII or something. But do it in lights, not clip-art.

    Here's the kit: http://www.arduino.cc/en/Main/ArduinoBoardLilyPad

    (Disclaimer: they're nothing to do with me. But if you make a shirt with cool lighting effects people will actually wear it in public once they've bought it.)

    I would not wear any of them.
  • nar · 1 year ago
    I would not wear any of these. I would give the prize to #1 because he/she seemed to have put the most effort into the design.
  • Kenny · 1 year ago
    I like 13 best, surprised you didn't choose that actually!
  • emdy · 1 year ago
    13
  • mcman · 1 year ago
    I'd say 13 is the best but I did notice that nobody tried to redo style of the Ohgizmo logo. That's the first thing I'd do however I didn't really read the rules as it may have been mandatory to leave that as is.

    Anyway yea, 13 is a good start and I'd wear that shirt without the goofy logo on it.
  • Anonymous · 1 year ago
    I wouldn't wear any of them either, and I don't think any of them reflect the feel of Oh Gizmo.
    My vote would go to #4, but I wouldn't actually purchase it.
  • Kelly · 1 year ago
    I wouldn't buy any of them... but if I had to choose, I would go with #4. Clean and to the point but not very exciting. Some of these are horrible.
  • Mark · 1 year ago
    I can now see why no one won the contest.
  • Bob · 1 year ago
    Wow, those are all pretty bad. I can see why you didn't pick one. Gonna have to vote #4 though out of the bunch.
  • Jen · 1 year ago
    You were so righ. These SUCK! If I was forced to choose, it would be a toss up between #3 & #6.

    Oh and #5 looks like a scary buff drag quees that want's to kick your ass. Never would sell.
  • Seb · 1 year ago
    Please, run the competition again, but allow minor changes to the logo. I'm an amateur Digital Artist, but I don't want to have to work around it.
  • Harry Palms · 1 year ago
    Hey, where did all the crayon entries go?
  • Ire · 1 year ago
    #13 if you could pull it off and not make it $$$
  • Pete · 1 year ago
    #10. but i can definitely understand why none of these were picked. but i'd say the best bet is 10.
  • Fred · 1 year ago
    I like #13...#5 and #6 are nice too.
  • MrBumble · 1 year ago

    i am proud of your decision, david.

    now, not only do you come out a good-guy, but the rest of us have to endure the torture of these designs.

    since none of these will ever be made into a shirt....ever....i will choose entry # 13 for it's concept.

    To the owner of OhGizmo!: I feel bad that everyone gave you a hard time for not picking a winner. Your original winner ("no one") deserved the win! They are all poor designs.
  • Jon · 1 year ago
    I'm digging number 4... not for any particular reason though
    besides thats, I'll be a good sport and vote for 13 aswell.

    These all suck. They look too cartoonish.
  • admin smithee · 1 year ago
    I just wanted to point out that #7 are two seperated designs the bottom one should be viewed from a distance(its a kind of gadgertry). Everyboddy seemd to be forgotten that it should be in 5 colours (mine are due the use of (overlaying) rasters) so maybe that counted with the desion to pick none to. cheerio i vote 7 offcourse :)
  • Jon · 1 year ago
    Numero 4. Simple and to-the-point.
  • david · 1 year ago
    #4 #4 #4 #4 #4!
  • RLESNJ · 1 year ago
    i'd go with 4. its beast and its simplicity should be valued.
  • Zax · 1 year ago
    My vote goes to 3.

    And to be honest, a lot of those were actually bad, I can see why he didnt give out an award.
  • John · 1 year ago
    I hope you don't bother making any of these t-shirts. But entry 12 gets my vote.
  • phlow · 1 year ago
    they all suck, good job ohgizmo guys
  • KK · 1 year ago
    hey im the guy who made 13 and i kinda threw it together in 15 min... maybe next time yeh
  • Craig · 1 year ago

  • Caroline · 1 year ago
    I wish I came to this site sooner.... I would have definitely participated. I kinda understand though why none of these were picked. Poor designs in my opinion. Number 8 is HORRIBLE TYPOGRAPHY... My vote is for number 4.
