UPDATE We're now taking pre-orders in the Typophile Store.
After a heated battle and much deliberation the winning tee has emerged! SN Rajpurohit from Ahmedabad, India has won the contest with his subission Light, Regular, Bold & Bold Italic.
We don't expect the world to get it, and that's parf of the point. The tee will be printed on an American Apparel shirt in "Light Blue" with gray ink. Stay tuned for pre-order information.
Satya will receive a copy of the mighty FontBook (A $99 USD value, thanks to FontShop!) and a $100 gift certificate to Threadless, (thanks Skinnycorp!).
Thank you for the hundreds of entries. We had a difficult time judging them all.

Great concept Satya, congrats!
I wish it could been printed with the design all the way up to the top, as in your graphic...

Congrats!!!
8 Jul 2008 — 6:27am
Really lovely. Definitely deserved.
8 Jul 2008 — 7:48am
Congrats Satya - An excellent choice!
8 Jul 2008 — 8:00am
Excellent idea, Satya. It will be fun to wear!
8 Jul 2008 — 8:19am
Satya, when that shirt stretches over my belly, will it become Fat Extended Italic? :-)

8 Jul 2008 — 10:30am
Congratulations, Satya.
8 Jul 2008 — 10:39am
A big congrats to Satya! As Joe mentioned, this was a difficult decision, but we are happy with the choice and think the design is a really great concept. I hope you don't mind that we took the liberty to make some small refinements :)
Satya, will you email us your shipping address? typophile [ a ] punchcut [ d ] com
8 Jul 2008 — 12:12pm
Well done. I want one!
8 Jul 2008 — 12:17pm
I hope you guys will also print Satya's other entry (SansSerif). It won't even cost you a second set of prizes since it goes to the same guy! Satya's were the TWO best entries!

8 Jul 2008 — 1:38pm
Great choice. Congrats to Satya!
8 Jul 2008 — 2:16pm
Brilliant!!
8 Jul 2008 — 3:17pm
Very cool! :)
I just love typographic in-joke T-shirts - they are great conversation starters... ;)
8 Jul 2008 — 4:36pm
I actually think the original design was much better, but oh well… I guess it wasn't easy to print, and all. But yes, a deserved win. :) Congrats, Satya! Those prizes are really sweet… I'm jealous!!
8 Jul 2008 — 8:05pm
Cool!!! Any chance of alternate colors at some point?

Congratulations Satya; a deserved win.
9 Jul 2008 — 5:42am
Just beautiful, Satya!
9 Jul 2008 — 8:15am
Congrats, Satya! Looking forward to showing it off and baffling non-typophiles the world over...
9 Jul 2008 — 8:35am
great choice, congrats.
9 Jul 2008 — 9:12am
Oh what a relief! Congrats Satya. It's a sporty design. I would also like the stripes going all the way up, but that would probably make it impractical to produce.
9 Jul 2008 — 10:06am
The stripes from bottom to the shoulder seem would be almost impossible. It can't be done with a single screen that would be correctly positioned for the variety of shirt sizes we plan to offer. Getting a small Womens and a Mens XL to both work well is more than tricky. Thus, we modified it by cropping it at the chest. In the end, I think the asymmetry is a nice way to stay true to Satya's design.

My only wish is that habitual coffee spillers like me could get a darker fabric shirt. I certainly realize that I am in the minority here and far-and-away most Typophilers are neat as a pin and never, ever schlock food objects or india ink on their clothes :-)

PS: I must admit that I have seen a spot or two of Guiness Stout on Si's shirt on occasion and when Terry and I went to lunch last year, he was as bad as I was :-)

Oh Chris, you've never had a meal with me. Minimum 5 napkins.
So maybe the ideal tee design has splotches printed on it already? Maybe Nick Cooke can use Olicana with its spatters.
9 Jul 2008 — 8:17pm
What we all need is T-shirts designed by Jackson Pollock. ;-)
9 Jul 2008 — 8:46pm
So, grunge fonts/tees... That's what you're all asking for? =)
By the way, the Ts are on order and the press check is on Friday.

Congratulations with Flowers,
Long Live SN Rajpurohit
Long Live Ahmedabad
All the Best with Flowers

"Oh Chris, you’ve never had a meal with me. "
OK, Carl, next type conference, dueling napkins at the restaurant of your choice, perhaps ribs or spaghetti? :-)
