Thank you everyone. I am looking for a more simple design because this will also go on the site as well as for use on a t-shirt.

2 more ideas!

Simpler!

So far I like the first one that Sliver did, but did not really like the graphic. Any way of doing this design similar to the one you submitted for the faux retreat contest?

The fonts were too big on the ones you others did and one kind of looked slapped together.

Thank you all for submitting so far.

I know this is off topic, but it's my own thread so... I was reading some of the other topics and the first two I went to were contests where the contest holder took a design and ditched out without paying. Does this happen a lot? You could use www.copyscape.com and with the info obtained here, take it to their web host.

I have a meeting tonight, I can work a bit on it tomorrow if he contest is still open. Thanks for feedback

just an idea for a different approach. I know you have your heart set on the grass, but I thought I'd throw something out there

I am open to anything I guess, but your pic isn't showing lagloire.

I need to make a decision on this by tomorrow morning so if anyone wants to submit, this is the last day.

Thank you all for entering.

The people posting the designs are advised to watermark their work, although not many people (including myself sometimes, I find it hurts the cleanliness of the design) heed the warning.

As a less effective way to deter that, though, I usually put the design on a subtle gradient so it wouldn't be easy to rip.

They kind of remind me of a heavy metal music group. These are decorative artists not musicians.

Another one. If you've got specific changes to make in this short time remaining, you can tell me.

That doesn't do it for me. I love this one http://www.webmaster-talk.com/897070-post14.html and wish it could be used for this somehow, but I know it is different wording and such.

Well I will go over all the designs again and see what if anything I can use. It is too late to use one of these for a t-shirt at the convention.

Ok fast try but more oriented on the other design.
