I like the way "SKETCHBOOK" pops on the brown one, but it makes "TOUR" all the harder to read. This one here seems to be the most balanced.

I think the one on the right of that would be ok but i think tour and 2008 get lost. Plus i already did that color last year. Green is ugly... and the brown one you lose the black splatter and the word tour. Using the yellow feels like it 'pops' too much.

My favorite is the brown one. I like the yellow of the text. You do sorta loose the 'tour' on it but I don't think that should really hinder it. People know the name already, it's in their mind, reading Sketchbook, there brain would flicker in and complete the phrase.

I prefer the brown one, but is it not possible to make the word 'tour' white?
Otherwise I'd go for the top left one.

That looks good, but I'm curious where the rest of the NG color scheme went. Maybe some orange???

The tan would looks good with yellow text.

yeah its possible.. ill continue working on it... the brown one.

was hoping you all WOULDNT want that one.. that extra color costs moneyyyy.

Lol I was liking the brown one too and was wondering why you were leaning towards the simpler versions. Just do what you think is best, dollars are hard to come by these days...even though I would so want a browns shirt.

I'll go ahead and just fidget with the browns.

In other news i was poking around the web and i found a 90 artist compilation book. It would be cool to one day turn the sketchbook tour into a product like that.

maybe next year it stops trying to fit everyone in and becomes more interested in showing newgrounds shinning stars or rising stars etc...

It was always my intention to show the community rather than just the highlights of it.. but maybe its more inspiring to make a product that is more about showing the immense talent that ng has in its community... that might be something worth lookin into once the art portal comes around.

Beasts! Book 2

Ok back again with more variations... these are all brown ones.. i am limited to a 4 color print job so dont ask or request for anything beyond that. ok heres some variations.

2 more. also the yellow isnt as washed out as it looks on screen.. for some reason newgrounds optimizer thing is making it a paler yellow.. it is more like the yellow on the ng burst shirt

Top right. The "TOUR" pops really nicely now. This is my favorite of all the designs.

bottom left is my fav in the 2nd post.

I want a shirt for moral support.
Go team

I like the one on the left.

I agree, bottom left on the first post being my second choice. I like the way the colours are, i'm sure you could explain it better, but in my opinion it works best.

I say the left one, in your 2nd post, the orange coloring on 2008 gives it a nice feel.

Aren't there any screenprinters on this forum or art collab? Next year I'll probably be volunteering at an art studio in pittsburgh (AIR) and might have the resources to make some nice ass shirts for cheap. But if someone else has the resources to do something like that, they should raise their hand!

I concur.

Im leaning towards the bottom left one of the 2 set. I think it has the most consistent color palette with the online version of the sbt this year. Its like wearing the swf on your shirt.

Thanks for the feedback mi gente.

Aye, soz :( I'll guarantee myself one of those sexy shirt designs, tho.

Luis, my parents are so bizarrely pumped up about this that I can guarantee I will buy one, no matter what the price or color.

im getting two shirts. :P
im considering doing a physical sketchbook for sale of all pieces. if i do it im gonna need buyers

tom chose the one that was with that extra color.. (the bottom left one most people were going with) so we're goin with that one.

It's always about what TOM wants, isn't it.

I feel the sketchbook tour is near...

I can taste it!

Definately the left one on the second set.

Can't you do two different colors though? Cause honestly... brown? Blech.
Not my color.

:3

I still like the grey one.
