While it's clear we aren't in any rush to get the official T-Shirts up and running again, I'd kill to have a new T-Shirt design. Even if that means firing up the Photo Printer and making my own T-Shirt.

So, to all of the skilled peeps in this section.. what have you got for a 8x11 or smaller iron on?

I won't tie your hands by saying it can only have this or that.. or can't have this or that.


I just want something that proudly say Xbox-Scene.com and/or HSDEMONZ.com that I'd be able to put on a T-Shirt or better, a Jean Jacket for the fall.

Hi Rez pic of the Xs Man for those that want a beginning point..

the Prize: hmm. dunno. the prize is we all win if something nice is made. If something is really sweet and usable I'm sure I can shake something outta the XS tree of love for a winning design.


I guess it must be said, that if you submit a design in this thread, XS will hold and retain all rights to the artwork and submissions.

The older LOGO contest kinda took a shit and died.. and not because of a lack of interest on the part of those contributing so much as the lack of direction from us running the site to make a decicision on the availalbe entires.

while we saw stuff that would have been okay.. nothing.. at the time sparked that OH GOD THAT'S IT factor.

I have seen some interesting beginnings though.. if not for a logo for the site.. at least for a Shirt..






are a good starting point I think.

lol bah, i tried

Ha, they were mine.

I'll have a stab again, hopefully I have improved since whenever that contest was.

I'm not sure how this would show up on a t-shirt but I think it would look good on a black one.

e.g.

try it without the black background... and with a brighter xsman


.. oh..

and.. with the .com

i know most of us assume .com.. but I figure let's not leave it to anyone's imagination.

On the right lines?

definitely nicer

got one without the www. ? curious how it'll look.

anyone got idea for slogan or something underneath it?

there is the old stand by og mod it hack it crack it or whatever we used to say.. but I dunno.. it's '07.. we can definitely use something new

Here's my first attempt-


Notice how the "old slogan" is now in the present progressive. lol.

Idk, I don't think it's to bad for a first attempt. It could make a nice patch or something. I mean, it has a variation of the old slogan, the URL, and our favorite x-s guy.

I'm not to sure about the outer circle font though.. or the colors.

Ehh, idk.

btw, I could easily do it with a white background.. IMO, it looks better and more natural because then I don't have to crop the x-s guy out >_<.

Here is the .PSD file if you want to have a go at improving it/add you own slogan.

This is really good.. definitely very close to a finished look..



I like the outer circle idea and the font of that design. I do feel though that XS man and the url kinda gets dwarfed though in this design..

Both of these designs are really nice. I'm starting to think that they might make good variants.. maybe the circle on as a front patch size one.. while the other as a full size back pic.

This is some nice stuff guys..

Love to see other submissions..

you should have a polo shirt...witha pocket..on the lip of the pocket put the xs scene guy.

on the back put the logo and slogon thingy.

that would be sweet

polo would be sweet. but no pocket.

well i was thinking for the pocket protector nerds out there...

how about something like this logo on the front...stiched on..



then the xbox scene guy with the words and slogon on the back... SWEEEEEEET

My 2nd attempt.



As you can see on this one, I've included the URL in the circle. Threw in the old slogan. Threw a little 2 tone in with the font. And tried to put some more emphasis on the x-s man.

I really like this one

heres mine, i based it on zebras design...so all credit to him

^ put my design on the sleeve. lol

If you guys want a good silk screened shirt you'll need to limit your designs to a very small number of colors. I'd say 4 colors at most but try to stay at 2.

full colors with gradients only really work with iron-ons and they tends to look like crap after a short while.

i think the big design on the front is ugly. i say just the little guy. and the design on the back.

That may be the case, there is always the option of finding a company who specialise in printing bespoke t-shirts to do it. Over here there is a site which lets you import and move your images where you want on a mock-up copy, then you submit your order and they'll pro print it for you.

After all, quality costs. You're better off getting it done properly once, than doing it badly 5 times.

i agree i think it will look better simple.

Just have "hack it crack it mod it" on the front instead of that whole big thang!

People are spending far too much time and effort talking about the techniques and methods of production. This isn't official anything, it's just an effort to get a simple working design that at worst.. will get printed on my photo printer (a la the first post in this thread) and at best.. can be something really special and worthy of moving forward into something the whole scene can wear with pride.

I'm still leaning toward one of zebra's designs I think.. but I'm gald to see some others take an interest in this.

Something else I have found.. is that there are services that can take the picture and do cross-stitch on denim etc.

I've seen pics turned into cross stich before and it can be quite pleasing.. but that's usually done by hand manually. Apparently the process can be computer automated, and done quickly and cheaply.

Some else I was thinking.. anyone got a new look for XS MAN ? It definitely time we updated it..

I guess it must be said, that if you submit a design in this thread, XS will hold and retain all rights to the artwork and submissions.
