So, to all of the skilled peeps in this section.. what have you got for a 8x11 or smaller iron on?
I won't tie your hands by saying it can only have this or that.. or can't have this or that.
I just want something that proudly say Xbox-Scene.com and/or HSDEMONZ.com that I'd be able to put on a T-Shirt or better, a Jean Jacket for the fall.
Hi Rez pic of the Xs Man for those that want a beginning point..

the Prize: hmm. dunno. the prize is we all win if something nice is made. If something is really sweet and usable I'm sure I can shake something outta the XS tree of love for a winning design.
I guess it must be said, that if you submit a design in this thread, XS will hold and retain all rights to the artwork and submissions.

while we saw stuff that would have been okay.. nothing.. at the time sparked that OH GOD THAT'S IT factor.
I have seen some interesting beginnings though.. if not for a logo for the site.. at least for a Shirt..

Ha, they were mine.
I'll have a stab again, hopefully I have improved since whenever that contest was.

Notice how the "old slogan" is now in the present progressive. lol.
Idk, I don't think it's to bad for a first attempt. It could make a nice patch or something. I mean, it has a variation of the old slogan, the URL, and our favorite x-s guy.
I'm not to sure about the outer circle font though.. or the colors.
Ehh, idk.
btw, I could easily do it with a white background.. IMO, it looks better and more natural because then I don't have to crop the x-s guy out >_<.

Here is the .PSD file if you want to have a go at improving it/add you own slogan.

I like the outer circle idea and the font of that design. I do feel though that XS man and the url kinda gets dwarfed though in this design..
Both of these designs are really nice. I'm starting to think that they might make good variants.. maybe the circle on as a front patch size one.. while the other as a full size back pic.
This is some nice stuff guys..
Love to see other submissions..

As you can see on this one, I've included the URL in the circle. Threw in the old slogan. Threw a little 2 tone in with the font. And tried to put some more emphasis on the x-s man.

full colors with gradients only really work with iron-ons and they tends to look like crap after a short while.

If you guys want a good silk screened shirt you'll need to limit your designs to a very small number of colors. I'd say 4 colors at most but try to stay at 2.

That may be the case, there is always the option of finding a company who specialise in printing bespoke t-shirts to do it. Over here there is a site which lets you import and move your images where you want on a mock-up copy, then you submit your order and they'll pro print it for you.
After all, quality costs. You're better off getting it done properly once, than doing it badly 5 times.

i think the big design on the front is ugly. i say just the little guy. and the design on the back.
i agree i think it will look better simple.
Just have "hack it crack it mod it" on the front instead of that whole big thang!

I'm still leaning toward one of zebra's designs I think.. but I'm gald to see some others take an interest in this.
Something else I have found.. is that there are services that can take the picture and do cross-stitch on denim etc.
I've seen pics turned into cross stich before and it can be quite pleasing.. but that's usually done by hand manually. Apparently the process can be computer automated, and done quickly and cheaply.
Some else I was thinking.. anyone got a new look for XS MAN ? It definitely time we updated it..
I guess it must be said, that if you submit a design in this thread, XS will hold and retain all rights to the artwork and submissions.
