Make us a T-Shirt, board friends!

Hi Guys! Oh, how I've missed you all. I hope your Merriweather season was nice.

Wanted to let you know that we're looking for a new shirt design. And we'll give you cash if you win!

I'd love if some of our beloved boardies could enter…

Let me know if you have questions!

How much would a design firm charge for this work? More or less than the value of the prize?

- Up to $200 in concert tickets (Subject to show availability)
- A T-shirt featuring your winning design
- Your art representing the fastest-growing independent ticketing and social marketing platform out there!

Vegas puts an even money line on El Jefe as the boardie to beat.

Sadly, I was 1000-1.

Wouldn't he just copy the Ticketmaster t-shirt I see everyone wearing around town?

wow . . . and here i have been waiting for a demeaning comment about ticketfly as a company wrapped all up nice into some sort of killer idea for a t-shirt idea.  and then some rock star could wear it and change the way some people think.  cool.  but i didn't get that in this thread.

I feel the same sense of disappointment

Well…I refrained from saying 3 out of 4 ain't bad. (I expected someone else to say something too!)

I am working on something for this.

You can go ahead and PM me for where to send my prizes. Thanks to all the other great entries!

Doesn't El Jefe do this kind of work professionally?  Giving away free work for the small chance of receiving a nominal prize doesn't seem like a good business model.

Businesses turning to crowdsourcing for services they should pay for is demeaning.

i disagree with james and hoya.  no one is making your participate.  it might be a break for someone who otherwise has no way of breaking in to that market and gain exposure. 

there are a lot of advantages for the company involved (i.e. marketing), no reason why they can't save money in the process.  if they wanted to pay a professional's rate… they would have hired a professional. 

that t-shirt is hilarious…it's so funny i'd love to see it for real

Relaxer, why did it take you almost a decade to come out of your shell? All those potential great wise cracks gone to waste.

Is there even a single example out there of an artist making it this way?

THIS IS AMAZING

Oh, and yes we could have gone with a design firm or something but we wanted it to come from the community! We like our customers. Even you guys. :-)
