The Sanctuary

The winning entry's nice. A lot going on, but at least it has some visual movement to guide your eyes from top to bottom.

 

As for colors, I think colors that echo the key visuals we got of Metru Nui would be best. This one, for instance. A grayish-blue or bluish-gray T-shirt seems like it would work nicely (lighter than last year's BZPower T-shirt).

 

For the image itself, I'm thinking a red color, for contrast (and to evoke the ominousness of Makuta's looming presence). So think LEGO Dark Red (#720012) over LEGO Sand Blue (#70819A). Or whatever the closest ink and T-shirt colors to those are.

That's a good idea. Thank ya.

Sorry, not feeling the winning entry at all. I wish there had been voting for this year.

I'm sorry you feel that way DeeVee. I have to take in account not only a design that stands out and satisfies, but will also work as a design that fits the screen for printing. So voting would make it difficult.I feel as though this one stands out and differs enough from the norm to make it exciting.

Again. My apologies.

It's your contest and your shirts, not to mention your financial backing, so no need to apologize.

 

I just don't think the one chosen has a smart design sense, and I don't think it works from a visual standpoint. It just doesn't feel like a t-shirt design, and not one I'd want to wear. It's really really busy and the textual placement is poor. Sorry to be a bummer, I guess?

You're fine. Everyone has the right to an opinion.

Woot! This thing!

My goodness, thank you, Raptor! It was a lot of fun being able to participate and see everyone's lovely designs. (Nukaya's was particularly clever.) Might I suggest black on a lighter color? I like Aanchir's suggestion of Lego Sand Blue. :>

No worries, man! I appreciate the input, and I'll definitely keep this in mind with future designs.

I'm happy with the chosen design, it captures 2004 very well indeed. Congratulations, Silverglass ^^

 

I would also recommend Lego sand blue, though I think a white graphic would work best if that's the case.

Congratulations!

I also feel that white on sand blue would work best.
