If the T-Shirt is the most universal fashion garment of the decade, the “I <3″ (or “I (heart)”) design is its icon: no other message found on shirts is so universal, but so unique at the same time.

The T-Shirt Day is the opportunity for us to challenge “I <3″: this is why we asked our friends and colleagues at laFraise to set up a special competition with the mission to find the next “I <3″.

Create a T-Shirt design that

• stands for the love to t-shirts,
• acts as a unique and outstanding icon and
• can be customized by the buyers at the Spreadshirt marketplace. In simpler words: We’re looking for the next “I (heart)”

Requirements:

• maximum 3 colors (the less the better - think of how great designs with 1 or 2 colors can be)
• max. printing area 30 cm
• thinnest line 1,5 mm
• no blending or merging of colors
• leave space for individual customization (think of “I (heart) xyz” - your job is to create the “I (heart)” part - while the customers of the spreadshirt marketplace create their own “xyz”)
• winning design must be a vector file (and will be available the spreadshirt marketplace)

The price:
You win 1,500 EUR in cash and earn additionally 3 EUR from every shirt sold.

Submit your design until Monday May 26th 2008 and get involved at laFraise.com

The contest is over and we have a rocking winner design:

Congrats Cuypi!
