We need a new t-shirt. The current design is entering its third year. Help us out by designing a new shirt to give away at conferences. Dash has donated a Dash Express for first prize.
Some ground rules:
- You must incorporate the skull and wrenches logo in your design. You’ll find a larger version below.
- You can enter as many designs as you like to hackaday.shirt@gmail.com (JPG, GIF, or PNG mockups only please)
- The design can’t violate any copyright laws or trademarks.
- The design should be one color and the shirt doesn’t have to be black.
- By submitting your design you give us non-exclusive rights to use the image in the design of a Hack a Day t-shirt as well as for other Hack A Day promotional materials.
- We reserve the right to choose no design at all if we don’t like any of the submissions.
- The contest ends September 15th.
UPDATE:
[loopymind] has provided some files to help you out. [ EPS | PDF | DXF ]
[Phesarnion] found the long lost Hack a Day font.
Yes, the contest is open to residents outside the US; we’ll come up with an appropriate prize.
Can we get a vector image for the logo?
Anyone know what font the hack a Day logo is in?
Oh come on, learn to use the pen tool! =P
What is the font for the text in the site logo?
what font is the “hack a day” name?
is this competition open to anyone or just US only?
I just finished and sent my designs in, I’m excited I think they came out well! Good luck all!
I don’t know the font, it looks similar to terminal. I just used verdana so they got the idea of the placement. I’m sure they plan on changing to the official font when the design is chosen anyways.
Ok… so the shirt doesn’t have to be black… or **can’t** be black???
Sweet, something I can try for once….I like to hack, but I’m not all that good right now. I’ll see if I can get this one finished before I go back to school.
Font’s Name is Checkbook – can be found here: http://simplythebest.net/fonts/fonts/checkbook.html
p.s. Google is your friend, 2 minutes of searching.
Do we need to suggest colours for the shirt and design or will it be printed on a range of colours?
Hey, I used this site for the last batch of shirts I got. They were the cheapest I could find and were pretty fast. There are some pictures of the shirts in several cameras, but we haven’t gotten around to putting them up anywhere.

Are the t-shirts actually going to be available to the poor slobs who check the site religiously but aren’t lucky enough to be anywhere near any convention?
the font was already posted above by another poster.
GL everyone make something I want to buy.
for a white t-shirt(hmm, maybe blue text border isnt the best, white border would be pritnable with 2 colors)

What format would you prefer submissions in?
I’m assuming that png is fine?
also, if our submission involves multiple files, do you mind if we zip/rar them?
Soo hows everyone designs coming :D? I made one. I think it came out really good, clean and simple but I want to make a few more
Question do we have to provide the back of the shirt too?
dude thanks much for the .dxf and font will certainly help.

There’s the logo in SVG.
I don’t have photoshop, and a PDF is not exactly ideal for this kind of thing. I assume I’m not the only one in this situation.
Plus, this works for all those cool kids not running any proprietary software.
Does this logo have to be used directly in the design?
Thanks.
just one hour ago i started to make my tshirt… what time we accept the t-shirt??
ill have a whiz in an hour
so wtfs going on? Did anyone win?
