And … go!

ENTRY #1 (Heather Holter)

The quote should say: "Alone we can do so little; together we can do so much." It should be in Courgette font on the front. The * indicates where the logo should go (see image). I like the black shirt with red writing best, but it would be cool if it was also available in a red shirt with black writing. I think the unisex/men's should be the same as the women's. Definitely keep the same shirt brand! They fit so well!

ENTRY #2 (Tiffany Zook)

A cool font and options for colors would make this T-shirt unisex. Adding an "E" to the word contribute creates the word “tribe.” 

ENTRY #3 (Dawn Taylor)

This is my entry for the women’s T-shirt. Please note I’m not an artist (lol), but wanted to illustrate my ‘"vision."

Front of T-shirt: Thrive with our Tribe

Note: This is a catchy phrase that invites people to be a part of the 30Seconds community. "Thrive" and "Tribe" should both be capitalized and larger than "with our" in a fancy font (I like Corsiva).

The three flowers on three long stems represent the community, and the watering can with the logo "30Seconds to a better life" and water droplets coming out represent how the site contributes to the thriving of its members.

The water droplets should be a little bigger to put the focus on the contributions of the 30Seconds community. Basically, come to grow!

Back of T-shirt:

30

Seconds

.com

Note: I think the back should be this information alone so it stands out and people know where to find the website. Large, crisp, clean lettering.

I think the shirt should be offered in two color options; black on white and white on black. Simple. Eye catching. Adding color to any of the shirts I feel takes away from the "look." By keeping it clean and crisp I think it will pack a punch and really stand out. I prefer crew neck, because v-necks can get stretched out and don’t look the same on women of different sizes. Crew is classic and looks good on everyone (in my humble opinion).

ENTRY #4 (Ann Marie Gardinier Halstead)

Below please find the rough sketch (I'm clearly not an artist!) of my T-shirt design. I wanted to focus on what I see as the ways in which we "make life better in #30Seconds." I believe we do this with the quality of our content; our diverse, knowledgeable and supportive community of writers; and the connection that our tribe is able to make with fellow members – all over the world – thanks to the power of our digital community.

30Seconds Contributor T-Shirt Concept Contest Text-Only Entries

ENTRY #21 (Mindy Hudon)

As one of the founding 30Seconds contributors, I have seen growth, change and excitement from the tribe. I sat down and brainstormed some T-shirt concepts for both the men and unisex of the tribe. Here are a few of my ideas:

MEN'S T-SHIRT

I like polos with a small visible logo over the heart on the left with a tagline below for men (or even in women’s styles) that I know my husband would wear and help promote the tribe. Original 30Seconds logo with one of the following taglines below the logo:

Come for the Content, Stay for the Tribe (I know that I came to 30Seconds because of Elisa, but our tip content is the best around. But if it weren’t for the tribe, I wouldn’t have stayed around. It’s our tip content that brings people to us, once they are there, they want to be part of the tribe.)

Every Second Counts: Elisa’s original concept was the ability for readers to get great content in 30Seconds or less -- every second counts when you are on part of the tribe.

It’s Worth Every Second: Same idea as above.

UNISEX

You’re 30Seconds Away From WOW!: The idea is that our contributors provide awe-inspiring content ... in 30Seconds or less. This can be a stand alone T-shirt. It also could read, “You’re 30Seconds Away From Awe-Inspiring!” Or “Awe-Inspiring in 30seconds!”

30Seconds is all you need to be inspired.

There’s always time for the tribe!

30Seconds will change your life: This is kind of a double meaning. 30Seconds has changed my life is so many amazing ways. Not only being able to read and experience the most insightful content (I always learn so much from the tribe), but my own personal life has changed being part of this tribe!!

ENTRY #22 (Terri Jones)

I am not a designer, so this is the best I can do. All slogans on the left breast in a small font. 30Seconds logo on right breast:

It only takes 30 seconds to make a big impact.

A whole lot can happen in half a minute!

Sharing inspiration … 30 seconds at a time.

Half a minute is time to begin it.

Half a minute is time to get in it.

Because EVERYONE has 30 seconds.

CONCEPTS WITH VARIED GRAPHICS:

Food for thought in 30 seconds (30Seconds logo that looks like a pizza).

It only takes 30 seconds to stop and smell the roses (30Seconds logo turned into a flower).

30 sec 4 U (30Seconds logo on right breast).

ENTRY #23 (Shannon Benish)

The following are the different design sayings I would like to enter into the contest:

Elevated by my Tribe (logo looks like an animated mountain-top with snow).

Dare to Inspire (animated light bulb logo).

Be Free To Be (tranquility scene, similar to picture below).

Enriched by Community (logo holding hands).

Feel Free to Be (tranquility scene, similar to picture below).

My Tribe Elevates Me (animated mountain top with snow logo).
