2015 Pentax Forums T-Shirt Design Contest

ClickMe! · 03-09-2015, 12:51 PM

Uh-oh! The "PENTAX" logo, the current "K" design and the old scripted "ist" name are front and center part of my design. Will these branding elements not be legal?

Just use a slightly different font to spell out Pentax, or use one of our logos, and you should be good to go.

Thanks, Adam. Is the current "PENTAX FORUMS.com" logo also available as a vector file?

Simple and with giant impact.

Edit: something like this.

I like that. A lot. :-)

Yes. Thanks. Wanted to have something small and discreet but still visible enough to be recognised as for sure many folk, whereunder I count myself, dont like to walk around as a publicity board. No mis-undestanding though. I like many of the ideas shown, even the big ones and am sure many folk who love it to wear.

I like this idea. As we are indeed different. Personally, if I may, the word "different could be a bit smaller and closer to the logo so it makes one entity. What about "Just Different" instead of different. That makes it bigger again :-)

With or without "Just", I vote for DIFFERENT!

No cameras, no "K" or "P". Nothing. (Just) different.
At the end, we are [different].

Well...how many other brands have a squirrel in their cameras? How different do you want!

Like humans, some squirrels are different.

Others are just Canikon.

Your designs look great, I liked many of them

....however it's hard to judge when they are hanging on the rack. Otis hired a model to pose for a real world view of his design........

Looks pretty "spiffy" to me!

He called his sweatshirt sweatshop this morning and ordered a billion of them for starters.....Since it is still winter, he ordered all of them to be fleece lined! Gotta love how Otis shows concern for others!

Whatcha think? Wouldn't you look great in one of these? You might not be as handsome as Otis, but you would be dressed like a real Pentaxian!

Regards from Otis! He is accepting orders but currently only in XXXSmall sizes.

PENTAX

I agree, I would wear something small and discreet, yet shows that we are Pentaxians supporting Pentax Forums.

Not really a serious submission....just having fun

If you guys want to win, you need to model your shirts on a real model, they look too flat hanging on the rack. Otis can provide you a model for your design....one that will work for peanuts!

Regards!
