Re: ECA T-Shirt Contest

I was going to say something about advertising and relevance, but eh, if ECA can't advertise here from time to time then there's a problem considering who's paying for what and what not.

Good luck?

Re: ECA T-Shirt Contest

I was never able to buy the previous year's winning shirt....I want that shirt, "Contrary to Popular Opinion, these do not make me a killer"

Re: ECA T-Shirt Contest

Wait, nevermind, just checked their site, they have it for sale.

It wasn't on sale for a long time though..

Re: ECA T-Shirt Contest

XD  I was about to say... I'm wearing that t-shirt right now...

Re: ECA T-Shirt Contest

How about a big Securom logo?

 

 

Oh wait..

Re: ECA T-Shirt Contest

Where does the ECA go to print their shirts?  (Hopefully not Cafepress...)

Re: ECA T-Shirt Contest

It might be wise to use http://99designs.com/

Might get more submissions and it is also just a easy way for people to see what has been submitted.

The Campaign For Liberty used it to get art for the Rally for the Republic and I think it was pretty successful.  It's over but it'll give you a good idea on how it works.  http://99designs.com/contests/10532

It would also allow everyone to view the possible submissions, see which ones were eliminated, see which ones that are out of hand and give guidance in that regard.  I dunno, worth thinking about I think.  Might help making a larger turnout and even receiving a higher quality result.

Re: ECA T-Shirt Contest

 Ok, it has nothing to do with the ECA, but it'd be cool to have a picture of Jack with a word bubble yelling 

"BLOOD FOR THE BLOOD GOD, SKULLS FOR THE SKULL THRONE!"

 

 

......aaaand that makes sense only to 40k players :P but still makes me laugh.

Re: ECA T-Shirt Contest

JT wouldn't worship Khorne.  He's totally a Tzeentch worshipper.  Think about it, he's totally insane and believes in a false "truth" given to him by the Great Manipulator. :)

If we're going with a 40k theme, how about using one of those pictures of five Space Marines holding out aganist a hoard of 'Nids/Orks/Chaos/whomever.  The Space Marines could have the ECA as their insignia and the baddies could be based on either censorship-fanatics or EA (who would totally have to be based on 'Nids then, with a Carnifex representing SecuROM.)

...Ok, I'm done gushing about 40k now. 

Re: ECA T-Shirt Contest

 hehe, one more and i'll let it rest.

 

ESA is the Inquisition!

 

ok, done with the 40k references now.

Re: ECA T-Shirt Contest

Well, I'd like to enter (despite having no ECA where I live), but they've decided to make this a USA/Canada only affair, so oh well. You'd think, with the advent of the internet, that everyone would be running worldwide competitions by now, but hey.

Re: ECA T-Shirt Contest

It has to do with the regulations of the Non-profit status. They probably would otherwise.

Re: ECA T-Shirt Contest

How's this one?

Re: ECA T-Shirt Contest

tshirt1 copy by you.

I'm from the UK, so I'm not eligible to enter but i'm posting this one anyways. ;)

Re: ECA T-Shirt Contest

How do you post the pic?  Can't seem to figure it out...

Also, am I the only one who thinks the ECA's logo looks like a penis?

Re: ECA T-Shirt Contest

thshirt2 copy by you.

My worst one yet

Re: ECA T-Shirt Contest

Hmmm...how about a charicature style image of Jack Thompson over a deep fryer with a generic fast food uniform on, and a caption that reads: F**$ing ECA.../ or: F**$ing video games...

 

 

-Remember kids, personal responsibility is for losers! For information on games and psychology, look up: Jonathan Freedman(2002)Block & Crain(2007) Just to name a few...

Re: ECA T-Shirt Contest

Is it just me, but given the GameStop vid that was referenced here a few days ago, should the prize really be a gift certificate to GameStop?  Maybe your choice of Sony, MS, Nintendo or Steam credits instead?

Re: ECA T-Shirt Contest

Here are a few shirt slogans I thought up, some better than others.  Use them if you like.  Change the wording, add art...whatever you feel makes a good shirt.

 

 

 

If killers were born of violent video game play,

 

You’d be dead before you finished reading this…

 

 

 

If violent video games harm children,

 

How come no one’s writing laws that make facilitating such play a form of child abuse?

 

 

 

Age recommendation on the front, content descriptors on the back.

 

What?  Too much for you to remember?

 

 

 

Don’t want your children playing M-rated games?  Don’t let them!

 

…or do you really need the gov’t to do your job for you?

 

 

 

It’s okay to suck at video games,

 

It’s not okay to suck at parenting.

 

 

 

 

To determine the appropriateness of a video game for your child, use:

ESRB ratings

Parental controls

The Internet

You’re damn head

 

 

 

-Microsoft, Sony, and Nintendo-

 

If you’re serious about providing entertainment to gamers of ALL ages,

 

Why won’t you allow AO games on your consoles?

 

 

 

 

I’ll decide which games are appropriate for my kids.

 

 

 

 

Warning!  Player of Violent Video Games

 

Studies show I may blast you with a loud noise.

 

 

 

 

 

Video game violence has not desensitized me to REAL violence.

 

Kill someone in front of me and I’ll run screaming.

 

 

 

Andrew Eisen

Re: ECA T-Shirt Contest

here's my variation on the last one:

Video game violence has not desensitized me to REAL violence.
Heck, the violence on CSI makes me cringe.

岩「…Ace beats Jack」

Re: ECA T-Shirt Contest

I like where you're going with that but seeing as CSI is a television show (fake violence), I think you'd be better off substituting it with something real (like the nightly news) as it better ties into the first line.  For example:

Video game violence has not desensitized me to REAL violence.

Heck, I can't even get through the nightly news without covering my eyes.

Re: ECA T-Shirt Contest

Ummmmmmm how do you get the pic out of the PDF file?

 

Heres a hint a PDF file dose not let you save or export without the 100$+ editor..... might want to dail it back some and use a JPG for the tee and a PDF/text form for the form you need to file....

I is fuzzy brained mew =^^=
