VOTE! The MATY and PMBD design contest runs until Sept 16, 5pm Malaysian

[BastDawn]

The original thread is here: http://www.moreawesomethanyou.com/smf/index.php/topic,12770.0.html

Go there to check on technical recommendations and the like.  A few things were posted in substandard sizes; I have not received improved versions of any designs unless noted in that thread.  You get 5 votes, and we'll probably pick the top 5 or 6 designs.  Choose your favorites; in the poll, each design is linked to the image.

[Theo]

Here are my votes:

• Fliying Fish in white T's
  
• Broken Plumbob in black T's
  
• Retar-doh Mouse Pad
  

Edit by moderator: you really don't need to direct link the images here.  Anyone who still needs to see them can click on a link.

Edit: Oops, the poll already had links to the images

Anarchist cat PMBD - because there's a cat
Broken Plumbob - right to the point
Pirate Cannonball - most brilliant (IMHO)
Retard-o Card - MUST HAVE
Generic lolcat response

I couldn't give a rat's ass about soupers so that doesn't appeal to me.  The Flying Fish gives me the heebee jeebees so I can't have that staring at me.  I really liked the stick figures but it took me about 5 minutes to decipher some of the scrawl and I don't want anyone staring at me IRL long enough trying to decipher it either.

A friend of mine had a relative that wouldn't eat fish, because he said the fish (dead, in a plate) was looking at him!

But look it this way: if you want MATY, you'll have to eat your pescado.

[Emma]

I voted for:

Flying Fish Systems design
Macro coffee mug

because they are the only things I could see myself buying and utilising. I would like the FFS design on both a t-shirt and mousemat.

[cwieberdink]

Oh, hai!  What's goin on in dis thread?  Oh!  A poll.  I liek pollz.

I voted for my five faves, but there are still a couple others I'd love to see.

[cenoura]

I would totally buy the macro->caffinate cup

[SimVeggie]

De-lurking for a quick vote, these are in order of most wanted.  I just wanted to add that I hope at least some of these come in black or other dark colors for the T-shirts, I'm much more likely to buy dark colors than white. 

Broken Plumbob
Anarchist cat - PMBD slogan
Flying Fish Systems design
No $ keeping cc free slogan
Pirate Cannonball
 

[hippi]

I voted
FFS design
Macro caffienate
Spork - moar fight

I'd definitely buy a FFS t-shirt and a macro mug.

[Skadi]

I love all 3 of the anarchist cat designs, the retar-doh card, the 3 souper designs and the macro caffeinate mug. The FFS would also be considered. I need new shirts, mugs and a mouse pad. I hope you have room to sell more than 5.

[BastDawn]

If the voting runs very close, we may add more than 5 or 6 items to the store.  It's really up to Hecubus, because she's handling the financial arrangements and will be setting up the Zazzle store.

[Chain_Reaction]

I voted for:

Broken Plumbob
Pirate Cannonball

Because they look clean and professionally designed.

But the Anarchist cat - Wiccan slogan made me laugh really hard. I read that whole thread the other day.

[Roux]

I really like the broken plumbob concept, but I thought the design needed moar obvious breakage and duct tape. So FFS logo, Retard-o card, Moar Fight spork, and the Macro-caffeinate mug get my votes. I will definitely buy the mug if it's one of the winrars.

[Aggie]

Let's see, I voted for the ones I would likely buy:

Broken Plumbbob
Wiccan slogan
MATY Fight Cloud
FFS MATY logo
Black pirate ship w/ plumbbob

Just out of curiosity, would purchasing these items be considered donations (i.e. allow one to get a custom title of sorts)?

[jolrei]

Macro->Caffeinate and Moar Fight spork FTW!

[BastDawn]

Nope.  You get the item purchased, but that's it.  Pescado is not really supporting this project; we're doing it in spite of him.

[dnilecosplayer]

Honestly, I would buy anything with the Retard-o-card on it twice or more. Just for awesome last minute gifts to people I think are stupid, and wont get it completely, and its an event where its customary I get some type of gift... Or get it on a baby T/onesie and hopefully they'll keep it long enough to look at it, read it, not do that shyt, and possibly pass it on to their kids.

[sabra]

I haven't posted here in ages (IIRC, the last time I did post, I called Pescado a fucktard or some such), but I want to vote.

I like the anarchist cats.

[Darby]

Ah yes, a great (safe?  ) opportunity to unlurk and not have to re-register in a couple weeks. 

A definite "Heck yeah, I'll buy a macro coffee mug!" vote from me!  I'm also liking the FFS design.

[Assmitten]

Strewth, also, LOL. Someone got sucked into the Ness Drama Turbine.

I'm terribly sorry, Ness, for you and your husband.  I lost a baby once and it was agony.  I hope eventually you can find peace.

Pescado, you are disgusting.  It's one thing to be a contrarian; it's another to be a total fuckhead dick.

Edited to add bold type to total fuckhead dick.     Yeah, I feel like editing it again:  TOTAL FUCKHEAD DICK.

[MsMaria]

FFS, broken plumbob (hopefully with more brokeness) and PMBD mug. Will buy them all. Two T-shirts and a mug. Too kewl for words.  Possibly a cap for playing tennis. (If the ATA snobs allow it). 

Kudos to the fine artists. 

[BastDawn]

Congratulations to our winners!  Names will be announced soon; one artist has already opted to remain anonymous, and I have to check with the rest.

I've been sent an updated version of the broken plumbob design.  Unless there are serious objections, it will be the one sent to print.  Opinions?

I like this version much better. It looks...distressed, which I think is a good thing.

[Assmitten]

Agreed. The crack gives it that little bit extra!

[HomeschooledByTards]

I like the crack too. It's much more obvious as to what the string and duct tape is for.
