#5 on a heather gray t-shirt is my vote

The single-sided design will be cheaper than the two-sided also.

I Like #3 best, but with front and back reveresed!(Although #7 looks very nice too, but I missed seeing it before I voted!)

i voted for #5, but i also like #3 as my second choice.

"good vibe-rations" is my second choice...

I'm actually divided between 5 & 7.

"I'm actually divided between 5 & 7"then you should vote for the one right in between it, #6

I cast my vote-#7 I'm proud to admit.

definately 5....although i would still buy/wear #7

quote:i voted for #5, but i also like #3 as my second choice.I agree totally.. maybe they can combine entry three and entry five together....

5 rocks...but I think it ust needs some tweaking. Fix the web address, it's tough to read...

I don't like 3 though.

Voted for number 5 !!I would buy it and wear it proudly...

Whichever one wins (I voted for the Got Vibe), please, please, please do not put it on a black t-shirt.

Grey T-shirt would like nice, no?Or the colors of our Vibes?

quote:Grey T-shirt would like nice, no?Or the colors of our Vibes?Actually, I have an Abyss vibe, so I would go with something else.

LOL!Well a black Tee is nice.......

any tshirt will be nice. I voted for mine

voted for 5 great design, 3 isnt that bad but a black tee in florida is death wish

Not in Montreal!!!

Design #5 on the back with genvibe.com in that new font on the front left breast ...That would be the *perfect* shirt for me Then again, I don't like big designs on the front of the shirts I wear, so I will withhold my vote for the time being... as I won't likely buy one as is right now

I like the front and back but I prefer centered logos over "pocket logos." Now putting the new genvibe.com logo in a larger font across the center of the front would be fine with me...

I voted for #5, but I really like the way the car looks on design #1. Either way, the shirts will be very cool.

with all the drama here lately. maybe we should have a shirt with 2 vibes crashing head on and with the shirt sayin: GenVibe: Where vibe lovers come to hate. lol

number 5 is G.O.A.T.

Whats GOAT?

whats the status on all this....when do we plan to offer shirts or is this one big tease?

Don't ask me - I don't know.

Yup, it'll be the real deal. Voting ends at the end of the month. After SEMA (Nov 4-7) we'll have all the details and you'll be able to place an order, if interested.Mike K.

It would be nice to have a couple of different shirts to choose from and buy but....I would definately buy #7 on a Black Polo without a pocket and the design on the left chest area but not too big maybe about 3" wide max!! Please!!

Hmm....93 votes out of 1410 members! Thats less than 7 %. And here we thought Californians were apathetic! So, no complaints from the other 1317 about the winning choice!

That's almost double the number of members who voted in the paint colors problems poll

quote:The final results are in:Design 5 (instrument panel) (46%, 43 votes) So, who is winning artist for number 5?

That would be me joatmon! hehehe.Thanks to those who liked my design enough to vote for it. I am sure if joatmon, silverawd, or millster had submitted a design, we would be looking at a different winner! Congratulations goes out to whoever did entry #3 for the second place prize. btw...who are you? LOL I like the fact that all designs showing the car represent a universal design, so we can all enjoy it (ie. color & options designed appeal to owners of different color and options). Generally, its too bad that each of us entrants are not real good at computer graphics though! ( I can really appreciate the time and effort that you all put in to this...well done everyone!Here is my own take of the submissions. entry 1 - good viberations rather cool. I would like to see the back as small left front breast picture, and the front image on the back. The rather angular shading shown contradicts to the smooth lines of the actual car though. entry 2 - loveme/not Best in terms of originality. My macho guy self isn't too keen on having a big colorful flower on my shirt, though! lol entry 3 - black and yellow Nice clean design! front would look better again as a smaller left breast picture. I would like to see the back picture showing the front view of the car to see more detail entry 4 - got vibe? Good use of humor, and a simple design...love it! Seems similiar to the entry 1 in style and flavour. The lines are a little wobbly though. I would like to replace the "drawn-on-a-napkin" with something a little more clean and professional looking. entry 6 - black w. red stripe front logo doesnt match existing logo on sleeve, although its a good idea putting one there. Well thought out design in terms of designing the shirt as a whole. entry 7 - black w. red circleGood clean, appealing, professional looking design! I see a pontiac logo though! Perhaps some pure black lines for the car, or at least black for the main countour lines would make it stand out more, as i find the car to be "washed out" entry 8 - 18 to 80 Nice bright colors, but, no offense, the car looks like an inflatible vibe to me! As cute as that is, (the actual car is rather cute in reality) i wonder if people would come up to me asking if my kid drew that or not! lol! entry 5 (mine) - instrument panel my halftoning dots are bigger than i wanted, but i thought the tshirt making process could not handle too small a dot. Finer detail DOES work better This would work well as left front breast image too, if the lettering was ALOT bigger. My original design had a two tone effect in the "vibe" text as well. It somehow got lost in the .GIF conversion process. I hope that this gets translated into the printing press design.I do intend to listen to you guys, and make the text a bit larger, so you can read it. Also want to show you what the 2-tone "vibe" text would look like. Depending on what Mike thinks, I will try to put up a link with a bigger version of the picture, and you can all put in your 2cents worth! Then, hopefully, when mike gets back from SEMA, he will already have a finer tuned version waiting for him

Well, I won't speak for silver or millster, but none of the stuff I started would have gotten a single vote. I only have one question for you though. You've been a member for 8 months and only have 14 posts? Where have you been?just kidding, congratulations on a most excellent win!

quote:Thanks to those who liked my design enough to vote for it. I am sure if joatmon, silverawd, or millster had submitted a design, we would be looking at a different winner! Well, I thank you for the compliment! I had started on a design, but couldn't get it to work within the constraints of the contest. I may still finish it at some point just for fun though. Anyway, a big congrats to the winners, and thanks to all those who submitted their designs! A fine showing by all!

MrDoopey, well done and congrats.

Congrats MrDoopey!My entry was number 1 (good viberations). Oh well! I did it in 20 minutes because I forgot all about it!

quote:I only have one question for you though. You've been a member for 8 months and only have 14 posts? Where have you been?Lol....busy driving! i just dont have a lot to say i guess. and when i do, well, you saw the length of that last post I save it all up!

hey, one thing i'm kinda disappointed in was that the rules state that no pictures are allowed and that only 'line art' was to be used. not downing any of the designs, but the gauge cluster...wasn't that a picture? just a little photoshopped. my understanding of line art was that it was handdrawn and/or a vector image. if i knew i could use photos like that i would have definitely taken it to another level. but oh well. congrats to the victors! your shirts are

hey ev1, as i said....here are BIG versions of my entry ( i hope this works, i never made a link before!!).....dig into it, and let me know what sucks, so that we can get something ev1 likes. I made the text bigger, made the "vibe" text vibe a 2-color halftone pattern http://members.shaw.ca/robmasson/vibe-version1.jpg On this one i used a much tighter halftone pattern, better?http://members.shaw.ca/robmasson/vibe-version2.jpgabout the rules saying no pictures, i am sorry suds about what happened. a picture, as i understand, has millions of colors, and doesnt really have sharp edges, but rather smooth, natural blend between objects, thats all. technically, line art, would be an Illustrator, corel, or autocad file only. I interpreted the "no photos" rule to mean just that, dont take a picture, scan it, and send it in. As long as it is "art" and not "photography", it should be fine. Its all in the interpretation guess. Your design was good tho! dont feel bad

I do like the second one better, but is it possible to remove some of the pixelation from the image of the car? I like the car image better in that one, too, it shows a bit more detail, but seems like you're looking at it through a screen or something.Great job MrDoopey. BTW--yours is the one I voted for as well, even though I really liked some of the others too.And I'm not positively sure on this, but isn't the Vibe logo a GM trademark? Also, they may own the exclusive rights to the car's overall image as well. Will this cause problems?And who gets the proceeds from the sale of the shirts? I vote that we donate it to GM for them to research and develop real performace parts for the whole Vibe model line.
