Josephus wrote:Great! I'm really pleased by how good it printed, despite the one color that I wish had been redder. I wish some more people would buy it so that it doesn't get reckoned, but there's little hope for that. The printing detail turned out really good.

I'd need to see a picture of someone wearing it before I decide. We have til monday, right?

Ah, back in my spot... fifth.
This is my legacy. Out of the fog and into fifth in the last stretch of the derby.

Feels like home.

Thanks to anybody who voted USA 2145. It was fun while it lasted. Again.

We've all been derby-jacked....now there are only two shirts in the fog worthy of its misty-ness. what a shame!

The Memorial Library is in the fog!

Damien, sorry about your loss of fog (for the moment anyway). I truly expected the "If you can read this" to be the lowest vote-getter of the four.

All right, Wooters, let's push W's Library past the text-only warning of our certain demise. Isn't a George W. Bush Memorial Library proof of the apocalypse anyway???

Looks to me you are still in the fog

Huh? I have no knowledge of this whatsoever. Or of anything else, either.

I want to congradulate Pensketch on finaly getting a derby placing. I have always been a fan of your art, and I am glad your winning design has a skull in it even if it isn't a zombie.

I'll try to get my daughter to pose this evening. Its her birthday today- she just turned twelve. I'd rather people bought it before Monday, on the off chance it could get unreckoned by then. I'm guessing right now it'll be about5th from the bottom, assuming the two long timers Jason said are likely to get reckoned actually do have lower numbers.

Yuck - I dont' like this fog at all (with the exception of the Boston Tea Party shirt). Vote Spanish Inquisition!!

my gf found this on wikipedia........

Right, am I using the image in a way that conveys a sponsorship or aproval by the Government of the United States? No, I am obviously using it in satire. I took that wiki article in account when I designed this shirt.

I say we vote it in and see what happens. As I have said before, this is one of the best entries in the derby as far as theme.

Go Dodo bird!

I really don't think you have to worry, woot already printed this:

I am also currently loving the "Nostradamus Knows All" design. That is one that an adult can wear proudly!

Please vote for mine during the final hour, thanks!

looks like i'm only going to be buying one shirt this weekend...sad....so sad! was really looking forward to the spanish inquisition.

Isn't the apocalypse one Woot! related? I thought it was a play on the B O C text, or no?

Is my favorite by far!

Arrgh! Don't jinx me! ;) It's not over yet... I was shocked to see Damien's design drop out of the fog. I was certain he was at least in second place. And James Cho is steadily eating up the distance to the fog. Plus it seems like the "End of Days" design has constantly been in the hotness... I'm going away for the next hour. But if I do manage to place, thanks!

but thats a totally redrawn interpetation of it not the actual seal thing with color added dont get me wrong.....i think its a cool shirt but woot might be asking for it

I just hope the GWB library, the Mongol Hordes, and the Tea Party can all stay comfortably in front of Apocalypse-Wise for the finals, since they all have designs to go with their text. Though there would be a certain sense of satisfaction to read the comment thread on the latter... you get what you ask for, and all.

and i think cos the words make it a government library it conveys sponsorship l o l. pretty clearly

Wow!

Looks like the last hour could be interesting...

Thank you everyone who voted for me, and gave me suggestions for the next derby.

BeigeSabbath wrote:and i think cos the words make it a government library it conveys sponsorship l o l. pretty clearly

It's a coloring book library, I think it conveys a wonderfully sarchastic parody of gov't sponsorship. I wouldn't buy one for me (or vote for it for that matter) but if it places I'll be awfully tempted to get it for one of my bush hating liberal pals.

Is the time-machine/dino James Cho? I have been missing his contributions.

yes. he said it was submitted under his sisters account in the thread for today's woot.

Interesting. I am just glad that my Primordial Ooze shirt beat the other one go 55 votes!

Wow. Totally surprised at the recent fog events.

I really wish Dino Time Machine got more votes. I would buy that one in a second

That and the coloring book one is neat, but I have this weird mental block where I read it as if you get a free "World's Largest Collection of Coloring Books" and not the "Free World's" largest collection.

Funny, I have this weird mental block at "Free World's". 'Cause aint nobody free anywhere anymore.

C'mon you guys! Only ten more minutes to bring back history! Hint. Hint.

Bwa haha so glad I took a screenshot of me in the fog! You can take your votes away, but you can't take my memories. To those who haven't been in the fog before, it tastes like peppermint and dreams!

Until you typed that out, I hadn't realized it wasn't the World's Largest Collection of Free Coloring Books. L OL, guess the human brain doesn't like that title.

L.ol! Well put.

Derby #16: Information Graphics

There's no process, idea, or fact that can't be reduced to a colorfully stylized image. Cutaways, flow charts, schematic diagrams, graphs - all of these pictures are worth a thousand factoids. Where would USA Today be without those little infographics in the lower left corner, to say nothing of The Onion? We want you to enlighten and dazzle (enlizzle?) us with an infographic of your own devising.

This one's gonna be tough!

I just want to thank everyone that voted for my designs... Wow, two in the top 100, one in 34th with 84 votes... shattered my old record!

Thanks for the love all.

Thanks all.
