Volunteer Today! Be the Better Mouse!

Ha! I love it!

It's like a science experiment gone horribly wrong, yet I supposed to buy into the fact that somehow the future will be a better place once we have perfected the Tunamato hybrid.

*Edit* Maybe "Together, we can build a better Tomato!"

Together we can build a better Tunamato!

Also, I am ridiculously psyched for this derby.

Any thoughts?

Cool idea and composition! You just need to refine your execution. Also, that's not a valid shirt color.

Also, thanks so much for all the help gang! I've got something I'm pretty happy with. Tune in at noon!

I love the concept...

I wish the last derby wasn't so labrat heavy because I think the idea is perfect for this one...

Keep on keeping on man...

Work in progress!

I really like the soft background juxtaposed against the bold primaries and green...

Looking for ward to seeing how this one comes out.

I really like the idea but since BOTH end balls are spaced out from the center, it doesn't seem like how forces actually work... I know, visually, how you have it seems more intimidating for those poor guys but mayhaps if you had one ball Already smashing them and the other rearing back to it would sell the idea and make Newtonian sense... ;)

Can't unsee Dexter belonging to that arm... haha

Here's what I've got so far. I'm thinking maybe "Together we are stronger" or "Together we swim, Divided we sink". Any other thoughts? Thanks, and I can't wait to see what everyone else comes up with!

You know, I'm digging the slogan you have right there. What could possibly be better for tomorrow than a tomato fish?

The image is genius, by the way.

I can definitely understand that! Thanks so much for the feedback, I'm fixing it up now

Yeah. I am really loving orabbit's subtle science references lately... Last weeks was amazing and this is just as geeky/obscure... ;)

Hey guys, we have come up with this one! What do you think??

I would be a lot more psyched about this derby if there was a possibility that I might come out of this with a Repo shirt. I mean, come on. Science + propaganda? This has Repo written all over it.



Now I'm sad. Can someone do a Repo shirt as a daily sub? Unfortunately, I have "stupid fingers" and I'm unable at the moment to make a deal with the devil to get some sweet robo-hands.

If you think what I think you mean, that's most likely pop culturey.

...and Illustrator just ate my design. >_<

Photoshop did that to me too... fortunately I had a (3 hour old) backup...

Nothing like starting over... gl man

Frick. Sorry Spiritgreen.

Thanks. :p I've got a screen grab I can rebuild some of it from, and I was only halfway done. I'll just be fashionably late.

Good luck everyone!

Any love for meteorology??

Ever since I upgraded from AI CS4 to CS6, I have crashing problems all the time. Pretty much daily. I just save religiously. Photoshop now has auto-recover, which works great, but why can't Illustrator?

It is. Which is why I'm hoping it mysteriously shows up as a daily sub

Science + propaganda?
SHUT UP AND TAKE MY MONEY! XD

Would LOVE to see some epidemiology and/or public health submissions---though there's already some really awesome stuff. Great theme!!

Vote for Einstein!

So did I miss something or is there no guest EC this week?

I'm curious about this too...

We need more designs that are simply propaganda in favor of science itself. I don't want a shirt that looks like a propaganda poster and is an in-joke of some small field of science I know nothing about. But if we had more like the 'support the [scientific] revolution' one, I think the designs would appeal to a much broader base (and I'd be a lot more likely to buy one).

Mwah hah hah! Foxes, all day every day! ;D

On a side note, furry is only as marooned as you try and make it. At its surface, it's got some really cool stuff linked to it. I'm sure if an artist that was 'cool' drew something furry, done right, it would still garner the same respect as anything else. It's just a matter of approaching it from the right perspective.

(I'm sure you're also aware that a ton of furries buy Woot shirts, yes? ;D THERE IS A MARKET, even if half the time they're broke. XD)
