Not a good artist, but I gave it a shot for a bit of fun!
Thanks for the opportunity, hope you liked the design :)

Entry Requirements
Update — winners have been announced. Congratulations to kwokstar, vu and draf3 for winning the T-shirt design competition!
tl;dr — Send in your design of the new OzBargain and win prizes!
We ran out of OzBargain T-shirts. We did not even have any medium size for our recent Treasure Hunt prizes; it is time to go and make more of those hot items! However, this time I'll let the OzBargainers create the design, hence this competition. Oh, and the designs picked by the moderators will earn you prizes — more on that later.
Basically a black & white OzBargain logo will occupy the front of the T-shirt, but the back awaits your witty design that best represents OzBargain.

Any chance of making this a reality
You can submit the design… But the chance of winning of comp…
Done! …after spending the whole night figuring how to draw curved lines…
Thanks for all the entries so far. I've got:

Still have plenty of time.
I don't know how to design stuff on technology. Can i just draw/write something and take a picture of it or scan it in?
Someone did take a photo of a piece of paper where he drew on…
so yes? In the off chance i have a decent design you would have to make it digitally.
Hmmmm maybe I will try draw something too…

Some good designs. Batteries of a certain brand are certainly a theme there.
I submitted mine last night, have u received it?
Argh yes I have. I'll amend the list above.
The batteries brand MUST be Energizer or Duracell, there's no other brand that comes to mind when you think OzBargain ;)

How do we go about buying these once finalised? I'd like to buy one just can't design one.
I will try to figure that out once we work out the winner. Ideally I want the designers to profit from their work, but only want to grant the winner(s) permission to use our logo/trademark.
Hey scotty, I'm just wondering if the design is only focused on the back of the shirt? Or both sides are available?Nevermind, I miss that line in the post.
Also, for illustrations pulled off the internet which are included in our designs would we need to consider copyrighting rights? Or would it be better to create our own illustrations for our designs?
I think to be on the safe side, it's best to use your own illustration. However it's likely I'll need to take the winning design and do our own illustration in SVG anyway before sending to the manufacturer.
Perfect, thanks for the clarification.
Here's my submission: http://i.imgur.com/umgIxQx.png
ha cheeky bugger. I looked at the black screen and was waiting for it to load. Wasted 2 mins of my life.
What? It's a png with transparency…If you click on the link, you should be able to see the text.
It really does look like a blank screen.
But as Munki pointed out, it's a transparent image (with black text on a black background).
It looks fine to me, in 3 different browsers.
I like the design. Simple and clean :)
But both the "Eneloop" name as well as its font are copyrighted/trademarked though…@Make it so: The font I've used is an open-source font, and I've essentially used a pluralised version of their trademark name…Can they still sue?
@Munki: Not sure, I'm not a lawyer. But people have been sued for less… I don't think using a plural makes it okay.
@Munki:
It's always a tricky subject. It's about context. We need to make sure consumers are not confused as to whether there's a connection between this parody and the owner of the trade mark.According to Arts Law, "mere reproduction of a trade mark in … or other creative content will still not amount to trade mark infringement"
@Friendly Troll: Cheers for that! I always thought that as long as it wasn't being used for commercial purposes, it should be OK…
personally, I reckon Dark Gray T-Shirt with orange logo, and white outline.
Just sayin…
GC
(just to clarify, that's NOT me in the pic)
This looks pretty clean but I'd go for a black outline
Can we get a bikies jacket instead?
Ozbikies
I'm gonna attempt a biker logo when I get home…Don't really want to do it at work.
Here second submission: http://i.imgur.com/BVbc5Qih.jpg
Nice!
I wish I read this thread earlier, I have another idea…
Hi there, just a quick, is the design only for back of the T- shirt? and do i need to include T-shirt as well for the design? Thansk
According to the description of this competition:
Basically a black & white OzBargain logo will occupy the front of the T-shirt, but the back awaits your witty design that best represents OzBargain.
Your design will be for the back.
thanks, my design is ready now

Some people submitted 3-4 different designs, but there was one guy submitted 18 different designs. Please note that having large quantity of submissions has no effect on your chance of winning.
I think it's sad that only the winning design will be shown and we won't get to see so many brilliant designs. Perhaps upload them to an album or something once it's all done?
We'll definitely consider that. There are over 100 designs now, but the quality does vary a lot. Maybe we'll take the top 20 from moderators' votes and put into an single page?
I was thinking of just dragging and dropping the photos into Imgur or the like. I think the content matters more than the artistic quality. I'm sure there are a number of funny submissions!
I hope it's not too late to enter? Will be submitting my designs in a bit. I have a lot of ideas, haha.
Yeah today is the last day to enter so get them in!
Today? Ah!
Gotta go fast
Just sent my email off at the 11th hour!

Less than 4 hours to go before the deadline.
Nearly 9…. Going to submit one soon. I'm assuming the use of ozbargain's 'Oz' portion of the logo is allowed since this is for ozbargain.

Winners Announcement
300+ designs from 120+ participants. Here are the top 20 designs voted by the OzBargain moderators.
Prize Winner ($500 prize + T-shirt)
Runner Ups ($250 prize + T-shirt)
Honourable Mentions (T-shirt)
I will contact the winner & runner-ups on how to collect their prizes. As of T-shirts, I'll contact the top 10 once the shirts are made.
Regarding to making T-shirts — I usually go to Alibaba to request a quote. However if anyone in Australia can give me a quote for ~200 100% cotton 180gsm shirts + printing for a good price I'll definitely consider making them here.
Congrats to the winners. Some great designs by the community.
Some great designs!
Love hydroniums submission
Great! Now let's see the bottom 20 designs…
Or just all of them.
Congrats! Only just remembered to check the results lol.
I thought mine ROCKED more than 10 of the top 20…not even a mention! bah!
Share the pic! I don't even get the winner's design, it's a copy of example in the description and it sounds pathetic… Like you would pay RRP in the first place?? The recommended price also pays in factor in whether something is a bargain, they could've at least used the phrase "normal price".
Mods only excited by visuals, clearly.
I thought I had one of the best mottos that people wouldnt feel embarrassed about wearing!
