Outstanding typographic skull design by Joby Cummings

skull typography t-shirt

I actually got an e-mail about this shirt a month ago, and I really wish I’d paid a lot more attention to it now because it’s pretty incredible really. In case you can’t quite see it, the skull is made up of the seven deadly sins written in some pretty great type. Good size print, and a wearable design too.

Costiness=$20 Buy it from Joby Cummings (also available as a print)

Tee Lotto: Buy a tee, win $99,999

in Competitions,T-shirts

tee lotto

Boom, that’s a sensationalist headline!

Yes, sensationalist, but there are more than a few grains of truth to it. Tee Lotto, which I think might be an offshoot of recent daily tee upstart (and advertiser on HYA) 5quidink are going to sell up to 33,333 t-shirts for $12 including shipping, $15 for us shifty looking foreign types, take $3 of each sale and throw it under a metaphorical mattress, and after 90 days, or sooner if they sell out, they’ll give all of those $3s to someone that bought a tee.

Or in other words… it’s a raffle. You buy your t-shirt ‘ticket’ and you might win a decent amount of cash. You can’t actually buy your shirt yet, they become available tomorrow, but I thought I’d let you know ahead of time in so you can be there at the first opportunity in case all 33,333 tees sell out, which I’m sure will happen within a day or two.

I must say that I’m not too impressed with the design that is on the site at the time of writing (maybe they’ll pop something else up when the sale starts), but with a concept like this I think that it’s less about the design and more about the idea.

typography t-shirt book

It’s Saturday, so hopefully you’ll forgive me for just copy/pasting this e-mail from the people putting the book together:

TypoShirt One – Call for entries

TypoShirt One is about typography on T-shirts. It is definitely not the first publication that deals with the topic of “T-shirts”, but it’s the first one that focuses exclusively on the typography phenomenon in T-shirt culture. Only shirt motifs created explicitly with typographic means shall be presented in this publication. There are no fees, it’s totally cost free!

We would like to invite everybody to contribute to the book TypoShirt One, the typography T-shirt compendium. The book will be published at Index Books in 2010.

We invite everybody to submit their own projects for this publication, bringing together typographic designs of T-shirts from all over the world, showing quotes, sentences, words, letters and numbers or any other typographic pieces of work.

Participation or having work selected for TypoShirt One is totally cost free on your part. Also, if your work is selected, you’ll get a free copy of the book.

Deadline to enter your submissions is 19th of March 2010.

Please check our website. At http://typoshirt.magmabranddesign.de you’ll find all participation requirements.

We hope, you’ll be on board!

Sounds pretty cool to me, since seeing yourself in print is always fun.

This right here, this is a werid promo. Johnny Cupcakes is having a meetup in LA today (Westwood is in LA right, I’m sure I remember that on the map), and if you turn up to Diddy Riese at 10pm wearing a JC tee (and really, what else would you be wearing?) he’ll give you [...]

Genius Owl by Vicious History

Thumbnail image for Genius Owl by Vicious History

I really like the style of this tee. Having a design that is just linework is fairly unusual, but I think that it works because of the use of a white colourway, even if it were brown (the more traditional owl colour) then it might suffer a bit, though a light grey could probably work [...]

I’m in my mid-20s, so obviously I think this tee is cool, but in my role as ‘Lord of all T-Shirts’, I must say that the simple aiport-sign-esque design style works pretty nicely as well, bravo Nerdy Shirts Costiness=$19.97 Buy it at Nerdy Shirts

I had a great time when I went down to Margin a couple of years ago, obviously I didn’t make it there last year since I was in America, and it would have seemed silly for me to make a trip down this year after visiting the city in December, but fortunately the Daily Street [...]

The Force! t-shirt by The Dept.

Thumbnail image for The Force! t-shirt by The Dept.

I think this is a brilliant tee. I’m probably doing The Dept. a bit of a dis-service, but it just looks effortless. I’m assuming that the shape is meant to signify a spaceship, in which case it’s like they took a spaceship and kept paring it down until they had the simplest shapes that still [...]

Thumbnail image for Guns & Ammo Women’s Tee by Crooks & Castles at Karmaloop

I think I like the concept of this tee more than the execution, the ammo portion just look a bit bleurgh to me, which is my way of saying I don’t particularly care for it and have no good way of describing it. Costiness=$36 Buy it at Karmaloop

If I ever needed proof that I shouldn’t sit on links (and I’m sitting on hundreds), this is it, because whilst this is a mighty fine tee which deserved to be posted in its own right, I acutally wanted to post this textual beauty that Deter Clothing used to sell that I found on Rumplo; [...]

Robot Apocalypse by 2012 Threads

Thumbnail image for Robot Apocalypse by 2012 Threads

Usually when I write about a shirt with this kind of design style, I feel the need to give it a caveat or say “hey, here’s your horror tee ‘o the week,” and I’ll post it because I respect the amount of work that has gone into it, but I rarely actually like the tee. [...]

I can’t help but feel that I am in the perfect positition to be the guy that runs Year Of The T-Shirt. Basically, he’s just going to wear a different shirt every day of the year, take a photo of him wearing it, and provide minimal commentary. In some respects he’s kind of like the [...]
