I'd go for "felis domesticus" instead of cattus, apparently that isn't proper anymore but cattus just doesn't have the same ring to it in my opinion.

I like the navy. It seems to pop more.

Navy makes it pop more my vote is on that.

I like it

updated version.... an improvement or not?



The latin now reads:
"making potatoes relevant"

Our second entry, so far, havent drawn in all the components for it yet, but yay Whedon!

would love to see an American crest - a salute to the troops type thing or just something to signify our great country.

I was thinking the same thing! It would be nice to see something like that.

Hi guys, I worked on my crest last night, thoughts?

Any Arrested Development fans out there?

Beautiful, but celebrity likenesses are not allowed. It will get rejected. Sorry!

This. Looks great!

Yeah, I was afraid of that. *sigh*

The Latin doesn't say what you think it does. It says "Carrying harmony away from the elements."

Maybe try "Proferens Concordiam Elementorum" which is more like "Brining Forth the Harmnoy of the Elements".

How about this?

Maybe try "Proferens Concordiam Elementorum" which is more like "Brining Forth the Harmony of the Elements".

Or closer to your original "Ferens Concordiam Ad Elementis".

I love it, but I fear that you're going to be stealing the thunder away from my Arrested Development design that I hope to maybe finish working on before tonight.

Seriously, though. Really good. And I think it's better without the likeness.

Py here! Hubby has some rudimentary Latin, so we'd been wrestling with it and thought we ended up in a good place.

I think either form of elements is correct - but I can see the argument of ferens vs. proferens.

Ferens: bring, bear; tell speak of; consider; carry off, win, receive, produce; get;

Proferens: bring forward; advance; defer; discover; mention;

Ferens could be interpreted as bringing/taking away.

The main problem was your endings. Concordia should be accusative singular and Elementum should be dative plural. Good Luck!

Thanks! Can't wait to see what you come up with.

Thanks! We really appreciate you pointing it out to us. We'll dig in a little deeper and get it worked out.

Maybe I'm alone here but I find the words a bit hard to read. I think it is because of the drastic change from light at the top/dark at the bottom. Other than that and the lightish purple (which you already plan on fixing) I think the design is pretty awesome!

I'm flying my dork flag here: I actually am an amateur herald, so I'm looking forward to this.

Had I any talent for visual art I would make the Arms of the Red Shirt...or maybe something Firefly.

No problem, although it's been 17 years since my last Latin class, so take my advice cum grano salis.

Please...please make a browncoat proud and give me a reason to buy another shirt!

Its not firefly specific, but theres definately some browncoaty goodness in here :3

No Dr. Who, Rly? I think that when Woot bans things like that they loose money. The Dr. Who fan base is very loyal and willing to buy anything Dr. Who related..

But there are 4 doctor who designs currently for sale, and possibly a doctor who side sale or daily in the works. And Whovians are no more loyal or spendy than any other branch of geeky fandom, though they are occasionally better funded.

not sure if cranberry or slate is better.Leaning towards slate.

Mostly yes. I will buy just about any Doctor Who shirt unless it's otherwise really horrible-a very rare occurrence, or if I'm completely out of money.

someone should make a shirt using a crest from one of the families in game of thrones

How about an opening Pokeball?

Any chance of some feedback please folks? Im thinking maybe it needs some kind of backgroundy thing. Like sometimes people put crossed swords behind them, or feathers etc. But Im really not sure what would work behind this...

What about Lord of the Rings. A Gollum crest would be awesome!

Why is there no Game of Thrones entry? Wouldn't that just scream for a few entries?

*edit*
Oh, looks like there was one as a mash-up with iron man.... still. Make more GoT! (Please, for I lack the talent.)

mubarama wrote:How about an opening Pokeball?

Having chatted with a couple of more experienced folks, kinda established this design is very unlikely to pass the rejection machine due to copyrights etc. Put simply, my drawings are far too close/similar in style to the originals. Too much risk of a law suit/suing/etc. Just not an option. But thanks for the suggestions, its an awesome one that I may bear in mind if I ever work out a better style for drawing pokemon that isnt so copyrightish ^_^

The problem is it's almost impossible to do that without violating the IP of Martin.

No Mario.
No Monty Python
No Star Wars.
No Doctor Who.


Keep adding to this list and we will have derbies full of cats.

As much as people complain about it..those shirts are the ones I'm most interested in buying. Along with GOT, Zelda, Serenity, etc.

Keep adding to the list and I'll find less shirts to buy...like the last derby in which none of the top 3 interested me at all.

Kudos to all you artists speaking your mind but this is a site that sells shirts first and foremost.

HELP! I have two entries and they are literally splitting my votes in half. I need to remove one but FAQs doesn't tell me HOW to remove one.

no they aren't.

Votes are unlimited. That means people can vote for both, one, or neither, at their choice.

Huzzah!

My first ever derby entry!
