This contest is now over and the winner has been chosen. See this post for details.

We'll keep this short and sweet - Android Police needs an official shirt design. However, none of us are of the artistic caliber necessary for such an endeavor (if you need any proof of that, check out the t-shirt I was sporting at Google I/O this year. Ironed on, baby!). This is where you, the super-talented-Photoshop/Illustrator-wizard, come in.

If we pick your design as the winning entry, you will get a brand new free black Samsung Intercept slider phone for Sprint valued at $499.99 (see our review of this phone here), shipped to your doorstep, courtesy of Samsung. Simple as that.

Here it is, waiting for you:

Now that we have your attention, let's lay down a few ground rules.

Contest Rules

Your design:

  1. Must be able to fit in the standard template of a custom t-shirt website (CafePress, CustomInk, Zazzle, etc).
  2. Must be made for either a black or white short sleeved t-shirt (if it works on other colors too, great).
  3. Should not be absurdly complicated (see Rule 1).
  4. May utilize both the front and back of the shirt, but this is not required.
  5. Must have "AndroidPolice.com" clearly displayed somewhere on the shirt.
  6. Must be original and cannot plagiarize another design in any way.

Entries not adhering to the above rules will be disqualified.

Submission Guidelines

  1. Read and consent to the Terms of Agreement For Android Police T-Shirt Design Contest (below).
  2. Post a comment with a link or a series of links to the image(s) showcasing your design (you can use imgur.com if you are looking for a site to upload your images to).
    Important: point these links directly to your image files and not to pages containing them.
    For example: http://imgur.com/CdbZ4.jpg
  3. Send an email to shirt@androidpolice.com and include the name you used to post the comment in the previous step along with the original design files (PSD or other popular formats).

Bonus Points

You will earn bonus points if

  • in addition to what you're going to send in step 2, you include your design pasted on an image of a t-shirt, so that we can see what it may look like when we print it. Alternatively, you can upload your design to a t-shirt design website (CafePress, CustomInk, Zazzle, etc) and include a link to that.
  • you tweet or post a Facebook message stating that you've entered the contest, including a link to the contest page. Get as creative as you want.

Final Words

The contest ends on October 13th, 11:59PM PST but may be extended if no clear winner can be selected by the AP team (this is doubtful).

If you need some inspiration, take a look at the previous design contest we ran, which netted our excellent Twitter page design. If you want to use any element from there, you can download the full PSD (note: there are 2 layers, each containing a different design).

Got additional questions in regard to the requirements of your design? Send them along to admin@androidpolice.com.

Good luck, everyone!

    Sound fun, hopefully if i have time ill try to doodle some stuff up.

  • James

    Bah, read through all the rules and stuff only to see 'US only' in a disclaimer :(

    • Artem

      Actually, since this is a Sprint phone, you can't really use it anywhere but the US. However, I realize you may want to win the prize for someone else or to sell it on ebay, so I will be modifying the rules and taking out the non-US clause. Bring it!

    • http://www.AndroidPolice.com Artem Russakovskii

      Aaand, it's done! Non-US residents can now participate.

        what about multi-submissions, you know, if we get a couple ideas in our tiny little heads...

          By all means - the best submission wins, so submit as many as you think are good.

      It's an interesting design but too busy for my liking personally. I think it looks too convoluted when printed small and screams too much when printed big.

      made a androidpolice.com blog app available free from the app store gonna make some more designs with QR code, remake below is a sample in the mean time check out the free app by scanning the code!

    simple, clear and useful - just scan by back ;-)

    • Chris Ponciano

      The QR code is a nice touch, pretty good idea, for where hes taking the shirt, because whenever hes sitting in a crowd, or waiting in line people will be gathering up behind him to scan his tshirt.

    • Kane

      I like the idea of a QR code but this design is really ugly. I wouldn't want to wear this shirt.

    Here is my submission: i used the PSD so it kind of matches the twitter page.

    here is my image for the back. since i'm not sure about printing on the sleeves i moved the QR code to the back

    http://imgur.com/TtenK.jpg

    • http://www.AndroidPolice.com Artem Russakovskii

      Don, good direction but no t-shirt printing company that I know of will be able to print using these margins. Please plug your design into Zazzle or Cafepress and see what you can cook up then.

      Edit: also, you can't print on the sleeves on most sites. For example, http://zazzle.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/334

      Thanks.

  • http://www.ersdesigns.com Nate Brown

    hello! i have a draft of a design i have been working on and would love to have some feedback from you guys because i want to win!

    im calling this design APDclassicVersion1 because its inspired by the classic NYPD athletic shirt im sure most everyone is familiar with but if not, here is what it looks like: http://i.imgur.com/TCG8a.jpg

    and so what i have here are:
    APDclassicV1black: http://i.imgur.com/0qZiS.jpg

    and APDclassicV1white:
    http://i.imgur.com/6PiYU.jpg

    these are large images so you may not want to load them on your phone.
    I would LOVE some input. im pretty happy with how the upper half looks. it looks like many of us had the idea of a patch or a police badge in mind. i decided to go with one with simpler detail while using enough of the android logo to understand what it is, with out using enough of it to be infringing on their logo copyright (i think).

    thanks and please comment!

    • fartmaster94

      the white design is absolutely DELICIOUS. i would wear it every day of my GD life!!!!

    • 15nSassy

      This design is my favorite! I will simply die if I cnt get one! Do you make them in dog sizes?

      • http://www.AndroidPolice.com Artem Russakovskii

        Dying is not allowed!

        We'll make the designs available hopefully in all shapes and sizes - I can't wait to wear some of these myself.

    • Kristaco

      I can't imagine spending my hard earned money on anything BUT this t-shirt. Namely the white version. Radical.

  • Spunks3

    Decided to go back and tweak my original design. This is a bit more "fun"...

    • http://www.ersdesigns.com Nate Brown

      eh i went with what i had in my head when this was posted. i'm not surprised many people had similar ideas but i didn't copy anyone's idea.

    • http://www.GrantGarrison.com OMGrant

      This kind of thing takes many hours to visualize and execute, and It can be difficult coming up with concepts base on such a focused brand, I'm sure you can relate. I do agree that theres still plenty to explore and I'm sure we'll see some stellar stuff towards deadline.

    • Radek

      I agree with chris ponciano! Look at QR code idea.

      • http://none Big John

        however we made an android police blog app for are qr code a little more orig and free in app store

    • TareX

      Hey Chris, to tell you the truth, I fired up Photoshop once I read the guidelines. After I posted my design, I started looking at the other entries. I'm surprised the badge idea came up halfway through the competition though -the first thing I did when I read the rules was google for police badges for inspiration... I hope it doesn't get me arrested or something :D

      • Ted417

        Here's the new ones... made it pearl white instead of dark grey... of course if I win, I have the PSD so you can edit to your liking... note: it says "To Serve and Protect Everything Android" on the side... a cameo to "To Serve and Protect"... no duh ;)

      • TareX

        Thanks buddy... I really hope I snag that prize. I've been following Android religiously for 3 years since its announcement, but couldn't afford to buy one (I'm holding a Nokia E65).... If you notice, the badge has real Android code "somewhere" on it :)

        • Robert Ruvalcaba

          Just a normal Android follower here. I looked over all of these great submissions with an objective eye. Good works of art possess or reflect both truth and simplicity.

          This submission by TareX is hands-down the best of the bunch so far, in my humble opinion.

          Good job =)

    posts are starting to take a turn for the better...

    • TareX

      I've applied a correction/revision to the design:

      1) Added "motion blur lines" to the badge (being pulled out) in the form of real Android code (homescreen API)
      2) Stroked the text of "AndroidPolice.com" for design consistency
      3) Changed the white glowing of all objects to black, to blend better in a black t-shirt.

    • http://www.AndroidPolice.com Artem Russakovskii

      I am digging this quite a bit! I think it could do away without the radiating rays or maybe if they looked differently, and the color scheme can be a bit more uniform - currently there are 3 independent designs kind of mushed into one, but that's just my opinion. Solid entry!

      Edit: also, the rays are showing through next to the badge on one side, and on another side there is a green blob that kind of looks like a hand but a bit inconsistent with the other hand.

          I would remove the rays entirely and play with the color scheme to make the design more cohesive and uniform. That's just me though.

      Thanks for the unexpected entries, Roma (Romarto is our site designer)!

      I really like #1 but, unfortunately, none of the t-shirt printing sites I know will be able to print it due to 0 margins. Is there any way you can tweak it so it can fit on Zazzle.com?

      Love #2 and 3 as well.

      Dude, Shirt #2 is awesome, Love using typography in unique designs.

    Phew... I've added a neck chain holding the badge while it's being held out in the same hand-drawn style, to both black and white t-shirt versions...

      Bad ass! Btw, did you leave the lettering on the left horizontal on purpose, as opposed to turning it slightly to flow with the slight angle of the background? I know it may be on purpose but it kind of rubs me the wrong way every time I look at it.

      • TareX

        I see what you mean; the thing is, the entire design is supposed to be uniform (on horizontal and vertical planes) except for the badge, tilted in that badass bragging style. The idea is that the eye is attracted to the one different thing in the logo, which is the badge. It's ALL about the badge...

        In addition to the non-uniform orientation of the badge, you'll notice it's made of mostly non-solid materials and a hand-drawn border, unlike the wording on the left, the circle, and the Android detective.... Again, the idea is to distinguish the badge from the rest of the design while creating an eye-grabbing contrast...

        But hey, you're the boss! Tell me what you want and I'll do it :)

        I'm currently making a new back logo to complement this one...

          Wanted to spiral some faint code around that... unfortunately there's no time left :)

      • TareX

        Hold on I got you now... Yes that too is on purpose... just wanted to add a some "danger" and to the design and make it more casual, as opposed to straight boxes behind the words...

  • TareX

    Ok, so I just realized there's an entire day left... and I skipped sleep again with a big work meeting tomorrow... At least I made the chain :)

    Here's my idea of shirt design. Note that you can scan the barcode on the shield and get redirected to the androidpolice.com site using your device. Hope you all like it!

    Cheers!

    Here is my submission:

    Back image:

    http://i1098.photobucket.com/albums/g374/dagdae/AndroidPoliceBack.jpg?t=1286907061

    The influence of the back image was to give an abstract representation of a crest/badge (but not immediately look like one). The front is a simplified compilation of the important message elements (name representation and android head). All created as vector art. When printed on a t-shirt it should render very clearly.

  • JoeK

    Here is the image on a black shirt, however, it can go on any color shirt.

  • TareX

    Made the boxes straight as you wanted (you're right; it makes the badge pop even better) and cleaned up the design a bit (e.g. the Android's hand is now as smooth as the head/body)

    For the back design, I went for another piece of detective swagger -other than the badge -a California (<-- replaceable) Police Car License Plate, while replacing numbers with the website using the same license plate font, and the same color-scheme and drawing style of the front logo.

      I made two versions of each license plate color... One with the website (promotional), and another using the same police car license plate configuration (realistic):

    So.. when can I get my TareX made Android Police T-Shirt?

    Too be honest I think you guys should redesign the site graphics to fit the new logo.

    • http://www.AndroidPolice.com Artem Russakovskii

      We'll need to sort through all the shirts, pick the winner, and put up all the best entries on Zazzle. This will take a few days. Thanks everyone!

  • TareX

    This is the exact same design submitted before the deadline... I just improved the blending on the model wearing the T-shirt to give a more accurate representation of what you'd get when you print it:

    http://img830.imageshack.us/img830/6420/ultimatefinalandroidpol.jpg

    • http://www.GrantGarrison.com OMGrant

      I honestly really like your design, alot, but to make it better you need to remove some of the silly layer styles, like the inner shadow on the big ANDROID character. Why would his outlines cast a shadow on himself? ya know :)

      • chris ponciano

        lol, its a neat design, but yeah i agree with grant, its like a mix between plug-n-play art and that classic move of sticking more and more stuff into a scene to make it busy enough that you dont realize the rough edges are, half the reason i dont tend to participate in these things, theres no time to make each line perfectly vector smooth...

        • TareX

          Removing the Android's shadows is as easy as... a click of the mouse :)

          Truth is, the shadows were applied to the Android and the ring to distinguish them from the Badge; again this all aims to make the badge unique.

          PS - The chain is part of the Badge, so it gets the same hand-drawn ragged badass-ness rough treatment :)

          As for the rough edges (I presume you're talking about the badge) they are intentional because the give the badge a rugged hand-drawn "badass" quality, while distinguishing it from the much more uniform Android, wording and ring :) I put a lot of hours into this design making sure it conveys exactly what I want it to :)

        • TareX

          Thanks Chris; but if you make each line "perfectly vector smooth" the design tends to become bland and boring... Roughness and raggedness -when done correctly- can convey a much more exciting emotion :)

        • chris ponciano

          all good buddy, i like the use of "badass" as a descriptor

  • kaehyu

    Kind of late, but here I go anyways.

    Doesn't hurt to try, right?

    It's pretty simple. One colour.

    Perhaps this is an indicator?

    • http://www.AndroidPolice.com Artem Russakovskii

      Actually, it's not - we will not be going with Zazzle, that's just a test account you've found. Due to the problems with Zazzle, t-shirt related stuff has been delayed a bit, but I promise it'll be all sorted very soon.

      • http://www.ersdesigns.com Nate Brown

        a lot of those t-shit websites dont make the best stuff. i havnt tried them all but you should also look into something like contagious graphics or someplace that does screen printing for bands and the like. i think it usually works out to costing $6-9 per tshirt and then you can sell em for $15-20

    The article is very convincing.The description and photo are the same with the item. http://www.yescustom.com/ immediately admitted if these reasons, fell more in line with his character. Secrecy may be necessary.
