I concur...Beer Snob said:I like #3 the best. It's simple. Direct.
the_bird said:See, I like #1. It's a simple design, but it's nice and clean. I like the fact that it is a big face AND a couple pint glasses. It's also exactly what we all are doing here, we're talking beer. Maybe I'm just too much a fan of puns.

olllllo said:#1 uses all of the classical design elements of airport/highway signage. I love it.
Also it will be more versitile than the others since the colors can be inverted. Since it it 2 colors it will be really economical to print AND you can use this graphic on colored t-shirts alot easier. It also looks to be easier to scale up and down without losing any of the design elements. Consider adding a rounded square border to make it look like a sign.
#2 While I like this design, It's not a t-shirt design IMO. Won't Charles Dickens' illustrator come back to haunt us if we use this?
#3 I think has some clarity problems in the REWT area of the graphic. It's in an aspect that wont scale down very well. Lettering isn't bold enough. It uses 3 colors even though there isn't alot of color going on. It will be difficult to use this graphic on colored shirts.
.: #1 is my fave. This is the only graphic that can be easily inverted. (Black to White) so that it can be printed on a Red or Black or Blue t-shirt.
beer4breakfast said:#1 is too graphic, too bold. I don't care for the heavy blockiness of it. Plus, I can't really see it. It won't settle into focus for me. It's like that popular batman symbol that I have to stare at for several seconds to recogize the batwings inside the oval.
I don't like any of them well enough to buy a t-shirt with one of those emblems on it, so I didn't vote. There was no choice for Ralph Nader.
I think voting is premature at this point. Send the designs back to the designers, ask them to address the weaknesses, and encourage more entries before putting it to a vote.

beer4breakfast said:EDIT: One other thing. Why a "pantheon" on #2? A pantheon is a collection of dieties that characterize a particular culture and/or milieu. Are the likenesses in the image those of specific people who were important in the history of brewing? Are they supposed to be recognizable visages?
Yuri_Rage said:#2 would have my vote except that "firkin" reminds me too much of "merkin" ...Google that
TxBrew said:
Yup, there's a reference...but not the one that makes me not want that shirt.sause said:I remember the merkins, a band mention in the movie PCU. A great line from that movie "You're going to wear the shirt of the band your going to go see? Don't be that guy."
TxBrew said:#3 is winning but I wonder how economical it is to print all that color .. Sudster?
TxBrew said:
I vote for a high quality T-shirt. One that doesn't feel thin and doesn't shrinks bad the first time you wash it.Sir Sudster said:Sell that to the masses. Cost of the T-shirt is based on Quantity ordered, number of colors, and brand/style/quality of the shirt.

I'd rather pay a bit more for a shirt that will last longer and will be more
