Location: Zarcon The Developer | Hey,
Well, I think it's about time that we had some Galcon t-shirts, 'eh? Here's the deal:
- You design a Galcon t-shirt!
- E-mail me your design, and optionally post it to the forums to show off! (If you don't post it, I might!)
- I select the ones I want to sell!
- If you made one of the ones I sell, I'll send you one of 'em for free! You'll also receive a Galcon license 12-pack!
- All honorable mentions will receive a Galcon license!
Design parameters:
- Max 10"x10" - may have front, back, or both.
- 200 DPI
- PNG output - with transparency where you want the black t-shirt to show-through.
Tips:
- Press F4 during the game to take a screenshot!
- Make sure your designs and slogans are "family friendly"
- Feel free to discuss potential slogans in the forums.
- Feel free to share design prototypes in the forums to get feedback from other users (you should scale your image down and post a ~500x500 .JPG for the forums.)
- Feel free to use the Galcon logo and artwork from:
http://www.imitationpickles.org/galcon/press.html
- Here's a *huge* version of the Galcon logo:

- Here's the in-game font is "Zeroes Three" trademark of Ray Larabie:
http://www.myfonts.com/fonts/larabie/zeroes/
- Have fun!
Rules:
- Competition starts: August 1st.
- Competition ends: August 31st.
- You may submit as many designs as you like.
- You may win more than one prize! (If I choose all 10 of your designs, you'll get 10 t-shirts and 120 Galcon licenses!*)
* Can you even IMAGINE anything better??!
Legal blah blah:
- When you send me your design you will be giving me copyright of that design and any slogans in the design.
- For the purpose of making these designs, you may use Galcon screenshots, the Galcon logo and other Galcon artwork.
- http://www.larabiefonts.com/help.html grants us permission to use the font for artwork.
Good Luck!

Location: Zarcon The Developer | morganno - cool stuff! A few tips:
- 200 DPI * 10 inches wide = 2000 px wide for a full size image
- Don't use censored words :)
- You may use the in-game font for the text, if you like (see the link in the announcement.)
(If you already knew all that stuff, no worries, I'm postly posting it for everyone's benefit.)
Have fun!

A clarification of the rules: I didn't specify how many "winners" I will choose. It kind of depends on how many good entries are created. Hypothetically, if you made 10 that were so great that I just had to use all of them, well, you'd win 10 prizes :)
But realistically, I'll choose somewhere between 1-5 winners. Honorable mentions will be handed out liberally.

P.S. I'm glad to hear your Mac'n'Cheese is still on fire. Keep those flames sustained! Wheeee!post updated on Aug 1, 2007 @ 5:31pm | | Re: Galcon T-Shirt Competition!! :: Aug 1, 2007 @ 7:35pm |

It basically means, to fill up the t-shirt your image should be 2000x2000.
10 inches * 200 dots per inch = 2000 | | Re: Galcon T-Shirt Competition!! :: Aug 3, 2007 @ 3:00am |
