To start with, loads of entries, great that so many people are taking part! Also:
- Lots of comments, we really wanted this to be about discussion, which is why we didn’t have voting in the early rounds. A lot of you have commented and given feedback so far, we’re looking forward to more of that in future weeks.

- Inventiveness of designs. The standard has been really high overall, and a lot of submissions have showed real inventiveness. We even had three designs involving our hairy ancestors and yes everyones a chamedion, we even had a chameleon design!
You have to love Monkeys. In review Pt2 we’ll discuss some designs in detail, review the brief again and look forward to week 2. How do you think week 1 went? What do you want to see more of in week 2? Format wise is there anything thats not working?
i think the 1st week went really well.
my suggestion is that you find a way so that the user can pun a larger preview of the logo (i think that for the logo i’ve made, the size specified in the rules is not the most desirable - height vs. width).
anyway, nice works around here, tough competition; if my work will be selected or not, i will come back with another design.
I’m guessing that as the weeks go on, it would be hard work sifting through a-million-an-one variations on the current brief – it would p’raps be beneficial to Spreadshirt if the designs home in on what’s required.
To do this it would be useful to take what feedback the Spreadshirt team give on the current stuff and further flesh out the brief. It’s likely that a few of these logos have brought up new information that can be added to the brief (eg ‘no cute furry animals please’, or ‘we don’t print in cmyk, so no more cmyk submissions’, that kinda thing).
Obviously the more detailed the brief, the closer we can get to reaching a suitable design.
Just a thought.

” ‘we don’t print in cmyk, so no more cmyk submissions’ ”
Since it’s been brought up before - they do print in cmyk, and cmyk in general associates with print.
You do know they offer more then one printing technique? ;)
I didn’t mean that point specifically – it was just an example, as was the animal thing. It could easily have been ‘no more t-shirts in logos, that’s too literal’.
I’m not a spokesperson for spreadshirt so I have no idea what extra guidelines they can give us. Which is kinda my point, really.
dazzler, i totally agree and this is what we will work at and cover more on the main blog - since this is why we do have a main blog and an entry blog.
