[petluvr]

Voted for #1 the first time and I am sticking with it. IF #1 DOESN'T WIN I WON'T BE VISITING THIS SITE ANYMORE!!!! Who am I kidding they are all great, but I still like #1.

[Kashta]

Tough choice, they're all so good.

Picked #1. That stands out a lot compared to any other fishy t-shirt design.

[crimsonmoon]

i picked number 1 as well. its short and sweet. would get peoples attention *maybe* if they read it lol
plus i just like it. wearing it would make me feel a tad better for the entire goldfish population :D

[Bethany1979]

ooh that WOULD be a cool tattoo bethany!

[msjinkzd]

the one I liked best didn't make it either, lol. I thought alot of them were really fantastic and was just tickled at the amount of entries. Hopefully this means more possibilities for things like this in the future! Thanks again to all the contestants!!

[rocker92]

1 or 2 would be great shirts but i voted for #1!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[BioHazard]

Yeah, they where all awesome designs!

[rinmouse]

awww. I love hatchet fish! They are all amazing!

[Hurley]

I voted for #1.


#3 is too busy for my taste and I wish #2 had freshwater as well as saltwater fish.

[Hooked Newbie]

Definitely #1. I'd love a shirt that touted AC and a good fish-keeping practice / motto. When are they gonna be available? I need a Medium. ;)

Did you draw that? It looks great and I think it would make a nice tattoo.

As for the voting, I'm excited to see who wins. I can't wait to see the final T shirt :)

[ChrisK]

#1!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[DarrylR]

I picked #2. Not a lot of clutter, less print. Straight to the point with the name of the forum and a few fishies and a good design.

Just remove the persons name :S, unless we can customize it with our own username.

[coach_z]

#2!!!!!!

it is the only one that would actually look great on a t-shirt that i would actually wear

You have quite the keen eye I never even saw thought but the name is on that design:)

[red_wall]

Yeah, I noticed that too, but I looked in the database, and we don't have any users name 'tonic' or 't0nic'
Weird, oh well, all will be revealed when it's over I suppose!

[petluvr]

Add a letter to it and we do;)

[crimsonmoon]

what letter is that?
or is it a secret until the vote's over lol

[petluvr]

I guess it's a secret to those who can figure it out, it could possibly just be a coincidence I guess. Oh well it doesn't really matter who submitted it he/she still have more artisitc ability then I do:)

[The Zigman]

#2 people!
Vote!!

[bluerat]

i voted #2 .... big designs and big ermmm racks dont go well;)

[The Zigman]

i voted #2 .... big designs and big ermmm racks dont go well;)

Big racks?
what does a rack have to do with the shirt design Brat?

[gustavo85]

Logo would be displayed on the rack dude! ;)

[biggdadyapisto]

agreed #2 for me its a lil more on with the style of today and no clluder. although i do wish on the bottom side apposing the other fish there were to freshies to balance it out.

[NeonFlux]

Its a tough one..either #2 or #3

I accidentally chose 3... Cause it filled up the shirt but I kinda regreted it and wanted 2 lol.

[Virtuoso2K12]

#2 :) Owns

[Redneck Woman]

All are great!!! Would be nice to have a shirt with #2 on the front and either #1 or #3 on the back!:thm:

[msjinkzd]

Its likely the winner would be printed and offered for sale in June due to scheduling conflicts. Keep up the voting! :D

[Fish-Addict]

Picked number one so that people can see that bowls are no home for a fish.

All fantastic though :D

[Sploke]

i like 2, i would like it a lot better if you could get the name taken off.

[Vicious_Fish]

#3 is too busy for my taste and I wish #2 had freshwater as well as saltwater fish.

I totally agree.

[noodles62]

I like something about each of them, but the artwork in #1 is fantastic and I love the whole "bowl" message!

[bluerat]

Big racks?
what does a rack have to do with the shirt design Brat?

ermm it distorts the pic:silly:

[paperdragon]

I voted for 1.

[justahannah]

Definitely #2, just remove the user name bit since only other ACer's would have a clue and it detracts a bit from the site name. Otherwise a clean and superb design! Full shirt art does get all kinds of distorted on larger-busted women, and that's another reason I'm picking it.

[Bansart]

I pick number 2. All are pretty well made. But the simplicity and horizontal design would most likely be best for a shirt. #1 is ok also maybe as a logo or a crest without the font. #3 is nice too but a little too much goin on for a shirt. :) my compliments on those designs.

[Deanthoreu]

why is there a revote? just wondering

[Rbishop]

There were 193 votes split between 21 designs....this lets everyone have a revote on the top three winners..

[Brian Fish]

#1 all the way great design and loved the message.

[Fishy_Fun]

i voted #1, i wouldn't have any problem wearing any of them

[evelyn80]

go #2 go :woot:

[mdwalt1]

Definitely #2, just remove the user name bit since only other ACer's would have a clue and it detracts a bit from the site name. Otherwise a clean and superb design! Full shirt art does get all kinds of distorted on larger-busted women, and that's another reason I'm picking it.

I went for #2 as well. Both times.
Perhaps the admins can have the printer remove the artist/user name from the design and create a freshwater version. Maybe place fresh on front and marine on back. Just a thought. Surely AC has the power to adjust any design...
FYI - no one really pays attention the artwork on t-shirts worn by women with large racks... Personally, I tend to look a little too long... :naughty:

[Jamieishard]

number one is just awesome!

[svf]

I only wish I could have one of EACH! They are just GORGEOUS!! Congrats to the artists - I wish I had your skills!

[saram521]

All are great!!! Would be nice to have a shirt with #2 on the front and either #1 or #3 on the back!:thm:

I like this idea a lot. Like if #2 ties with #1 or #3, #2 could be put on the front and like ky said, #1 or #3 on the back.

[jpappy789]

I like #2 for simplicity, but I agree that it's too SW biased ;)

[mel_20_20]

i voted #2 .... big designs and big ermmm racks dont go well;)

:rofl::rofl::rofl:

I can totally relate, but I don't care. If they see my new AC T-shirt graphics before the rest of me comes 'round the corner, so be it. ;)

I feel even more uncomfortable when the message is so small that they have to really stare at the big ermmm racks to get it. :grinyes:

I like the message of #1 so much I have to vote for it. I like the artwork on it, too. I do also love the artwork of #3, but have to go with #1.
All the designs were great, guys! Good job everyone!

[chefjamesscott]

without a doubt #1

it exemplifies it all in a simple statement

[Dwarf Puffers]

I'd like 2 of each...

[Juggalo3597]

# 3

[Dwarf Puffers]

Sooo... Can the winner be the winner, and the other two get printed as well? ;)

[msjinkzd]

anything is possible if you believe :D


I can ask, I believe that pre-orders will be taken after teh winner is announced.

[Dwarf Puffers]

Sweetness. Make that 3 of each, or can I get a bulk discount at 300? ;)

[rocker92]

when is the sale???

[duyisalilaznboi]

i like 2, its simple =DD

[addicted2fish]

I would really want #2 on the front and #3 on the back of the T-shirt . lol ~~ IF this is our' vote, why cant we vote what we want on the whole shirt .. And if we are reppin;' AC , isint that the whole point . I do agree with the rack situation, some of us wemen dont like wearing t-shirts with huge logos right on the front of teh shirt, I like the small left side print, like a half circle of a planted tank, and then on the back of the shirt somthing lie 2 & 3 all together in a print .. :) ~~ I may just make my own shirt ~~ hehe. but I voted for #2, and hope more people do, It does seem to be a better print for a t-shirt . the other 2 would look GREAT on the back of the shirt . So there ALL good .

[Dupkade]

I like number 1

[melissadotson]

i have to say 3... cool design with all the fish..

[GEV83]

number 1 is my choice

[VivaLaVics]

#2 less the name lol. ;) Hard choice- 3 is busy and 1 is great- I'd be MORE than happy to sport any of the 3 though!

[msjinkzd]

Last chance to vote! Closing this at 10am EST. Make your opinion matter!

[msjinkzd]

Congratulations Blue2fyre! Your design has been voted most popular! T-shirts may be available for ordering in mid-june. I will make an announcement when that time arrives. Way to go!
