Singapore Web DesignerPing.sg T-Shirt Design Contest » AEN—Designer & Consultant

I have not been visiting Ping.sg forums for a while and yesterday I did. U-Zyn has organized an interesting T-Shirt Design contest for the official Ping.sg T-Shirt. The closing was yesterday so I had very little time so I contact U-Zyn and requested some extra time to get the design done. U-Zyn was kind enough and said he would like to see what I can come up with.

These are the rules and introductions which I extracted from the original forum topic.

Anyone fancy a Ping.sg T-shirt?
The one which we will wear proudly proclaiming ourselves as a proud member of this community? The one we would be wearing together when we attend any event as a Ping.sg group?

This idea has been surfaced and not taken off a few times since the launch of Ping.sg 1 year ago. One of the main reasons are due to lack of good T-shirt designs that I managed to find.

This time, let’s get it done!

Instead of myself scouting for private designers on my own, which may not even know exactly what Ping.sg about, why don’t we do it the community way this time. Ping.sg do have quite a few of good designers among us, aren’t we?

I say, let’s start a Ping.sg T-shirt Design contest!

The winning entry will be getting SGD 100 from Ping.sg. It’s not a lot, but it is some money I can offer that I have made from Ping.sg (through advertising) minus the costly Singapore hosting fees. Most importantly, you will gain the recognition and respect among Ping.sg’s community as the official Ping.sg T-Shirt designer, and you can be proud seeing your design worn by local bloggers.

Some requirements:

1. It is a Ping.sg t-shirt, so, yeah the t-shirt has to have Ping.sg’s logo.
2. Ping.sg’s URL - http://ping.sg. We don’t want ourselves to be mistaken for promoting for a golf equipment company.
3. Nothing else. Feel free to be creative.

Closing Date: 1st October 2007

After an hour or 2 in Adobe Illustrator, I managed to create a “Pingogram” pattern and 4 T-Shirt designs based on it. I didn’t used the exact logo (with the gradients and outlines) and I intend these shirts to be silkscreen/screen-printed which does not support gradients, similar to the T-Shirts from UNIQLO UT, BEAMS T, Design T-Shirt Store Graniph, Threadless.

Here’s a close-up of my “Pingogram” pattern.
