I went and inverted the design from before, I can make the Pentaxforums logo red again but kinda like the inverted teal color. Thoughts?

@Mico Samardzija, this is a design I submitted last year, but it did not make it to the final round.

Good luck everybody and thank you to the staff for the contest, it is always challenging.

Cheers from France,

It's that time again- our annual T-shirt contest is back for a 2019 edition!

For inspiration, you may view prior designs on our Teespring store.

Theme: incorporate the PF logo (download here) in a camera, lens, and/or photography-themed T-shirt. Let your imagination rule!

This year, given the celebration of Pentax's 100th anniversary, bonus points go to shirts that feature vintage themes. However, do not include any text that references the 100th anniversary, as there is official merchandise for this.

We can print shirts in multiple colors. You may therefore submit light and dark variations of your design if you wish to support both types of material.

Deadline: October 7th, ~~September 30th~~ 2019, by the end of the day your time

To enter: post each submission in a reply to this thread, as an attachment (be prepared to e-mail a high-res version if you're a winner)

You can choose to enter as many designs as you'd like.

Prizes: Each winner will each receive two free shirts shipped to their door, plus a Site Supporter forum account upgrade

Requirements and restrictions:

Important! Your design can't have more than 10 colors (preferably 4 colors or fewer), so avoid the use of photos
Unedited photos can NOT be printed - you must either vectorize the image or reduce the number colors
Only the central area on the front of the shirt will be printable. We can't print on the sides, above the neckline, or on the sleeves
Your design must include the Pentax Forums logo. You may alter the colors or make minor changes / additions
You may use specific Pentax product names and product logos (i.e. K-1, K-3, etc), and traces of official product photos, or any product photo found on PF's homepage
You may not use any other photo or work subject to copyright, without permission
You may not use the official Pentax logo font (type out Pentax instead)

Once we're closed to submissions, we'll have members vote to select the winning designs. We plan to pick three winners, but may opt for more if there are many exceptional designs.

I'm excited to see what you guys will come up with, and I'm sure many other forum members are, too. Good luck!

This year, we will continue T-shirt production through Teespring. With two different fulfillment locations, simple storefronts, and prints every 3 days, shipping is cheaper and faster than it's ever been before.

To get you started, here are four top designs from the past 3 contests:

Here is new upgraded version of T-shirt

Yep! I like it! Best part is that those who don't know anything about Pentax will think you are promoting an environmental "green" initiative. It will open many a conversation.

Can you remove the Pentax logo at the top? We can't print that.

I LIKEEY..! Simple, clean, yet hinting at layers of useful sophistication beneath the surface veneer... much like a Pentax camera!

How many more days Adam? I might try my hand at a design.
