Lots of news coming in, here is a little roundup of the past few days:
1. Welcome back to tarzion who rejoined the contest. Tarzion was the winner of the first OLP designing the fingerprint we’ve loved using this past 1.6 years. We’re really delighted that he’s into OLP enough to come back and enter again. His latest entry entitled “a childs play” is really innovative:
More about this design and 4 other newsworthy items in the full post
Using stickers with different meanings and symbols to buildup a logo. We’d like to know more about your concept for it tarzoin, feel free to write in french, some kind soul will translate.
2. Buro Destruct enter the arena. There are a number of great designers which have now entered, coming from computer arts, computerlove, lafraise, and our shoppartner base. And its not easy to keep track of all your day jobs - but we’re honored to have such top designers, and agencies like Family and now Buro Destruct taking part! This was Lopetz from BDs entry:
3. We hit the 500 design mark! We already blogged it, but it seemed worth mentioning again ;)

5. Custom Tshirt talk rounded up wk2 producing this beautiful collage of all the entries. We’re looking into posters, but quality wise its not looking so good, lets see what the graphics guys can come up with.
“a childs play” explication
Chaque gommette contient une partie du mot spreadshirt pour assurer la lecture final du logo.
On peut voir aussi que chaque gommette est différente, d’ou le rapport direct avec “your own label”… Pour résumer chaque label est diférent mais ensemble ils construisent spreadshirt et tous les partenaires y participent.
Outre son coté assez facilement déclinable, je pense que ce logo a un coté fédérateur assez fort, et je pense aussi que le coté ludique et simple d’utilisation des gommettes rassure. (pour moi les gommettes rappelles les premiers gestes artistique de l’enfance !)
Les couleurs différentes symbolisent la diversité des motifs du marketplace.
pour résumer , j’ai éssayé de faire un logo ludique, fédérateur et constructif, qui traduit une certaine simplicité d’action et avec une notion d’humanité ;)
Attention ! l’OLP est entrain de devenir une veritable institution pour moi ! ;)
-(: thanks for the translate :)-
Anyone here speak french? I fear Babelfish won’t do it justice. If not I’ll ask one of the french team to translate tomorrow, thanks for the update tarzoin!
“A Child’s Play” reminds me way too much of flickr. The first two dots are the same colors that flickr uses and the font is either the same or very similar.
heres the translation:
“Each round sticker has a part of Spreadshirt words to make the last logo easy reading.
You can show that each round sticker is different, therefore the connection with “your own label”… Each label is different but together they construct Spreadshirt and all the partners participating.
As well as this, the design is easy adaptable, I think that the logo has a federative side, and I think also a play side and the easy use of the round stickers are reassuring (for me, round stickers remember the first art steps from the childhood!)
Different colours symbolize the diversity of the Marketplace designs.
To summarize, I tried to make a play logo, federative and constructive, which it conveys a simple action idea and with a human notion.
Be careful! The OLP has become an institution for me!”
