Yeah, last year the charity was an animal rescue organization and was not requested to be tied into the design as it was a secondary benefit of of the event, where as this year the charity is requested to be a main headlining feature. Also, please don't take my comments as complaints. My two biggest comments were about design and process (first being the poster needing more of a margin on top and bottom) and second being the process of designing for a different medium that the main intent with plans to then "adapt." This is all constructive criticism/critique, and while I may not have as many years under my belt as Ray does in terms of design, I'm not ignorant to the field.
I say we just make iron-ons of this since it really does clearly make a connection to both the bay area and japan:

I respect that you aren't ignorant in the field, but the criticism you made is pretty amateurish. The design really doesn't need any more breathing space. But then again this is just your opinion over mine. And I also provided a basic layout of what the shirt would look like in addition to the poster. I have made many shirts before and I know exactly how to prepare them, regardless of what medium it starts in. It is about the person who is making the design, not the actual technique of screen printing. If they are a good enough designer then they will know. And the way I have done it is easy to make a shirt out of.

give me an f'in break and learn to take some god damn constructive criticism without getting so defensive. You didn't see Ray or Greg get their panties in a twist when I made a comment about the effect of added activity in the circle, did you? No.If you're going to submit for public approval you had better be prepared to take a lot harsher criticism than I dished up, but if you're not able to do that it's only going to get worse.
PM me if you want to continue this discussion.

ummm... yeahhh. I dont know how you guys turned a simple shirt design contest into a heated argument but oh well. back to the shirt designing! Lets get some more real rough drafts on the table! I'm working on something a little different then what you are all talking about, we'll see how it turns out. 
Are these shirts single sided? or can we do a front and back?

Very creative concepts flowing thru here! Keep it up, y'all! 
Also, it's nice to see a healthy exchange of ideas, too.
Finally, I see queeg9k graduated from the Krinkov School of Design.
Awesome work! Someone needs to dig up Jeremy's classic T-shirt design submission. I'll add it in here if I find it.

Looks good. Looks like you guys have your eyes set on the spray paint one.
I have one concept I'm working on tonight along with some dialing in of the above ones with some of the comments and what not. But if you guys are dead set on the spray paint I'm not gonna waste my time finalizing these. I'll just dial in my subaru/wheel one that was requested earlier for a separate design. I'm already working with 3 clients right now so time is crucial.
So let me know if you want me to continue with these.
oh... and I'm still not sure why you're designing posters? Is there a poster being made for this event at all? There never has been one in the past? This is a shirt.
oh... and fuzzy... I JUST figured out where you were going with that... that's some funny ****!

These people showed up in heavy fog and crappy weather... No reason we can't do it in the sun. I hate that they get some much press and we don't get ****. We've been between 350-500 cars pretty much every year for the last 6 or 7 years. We deserve some cred!
