Firefox 3 T-Shirt Contest – Join the Launch!

Creative Contributions From Around The Globe

Hi everyone!

As you know the T-shirt contest has drawn to a close... the flood of submissions has ceased, the image pool has trickled dry, and the hyperactive discussion boards have reached a steady calm. What remains from this once-bustling group , is a great wall of creative contributions, of diversity and inspiration.

Several weeks ago, when this contest began, we didn't quite know what to expect. We planted the seeds, left a few guiding tools, and then stepped back to observe. What we saw was absolutely beautiful. In a blink of an eye, a community of thousands from all around the world, separated by vast oceans and stretches of land, had assembled here with a common purpose. The "competitive" landscape, was quickly repaved into one of support and camaraderie. Everyone worked together as a team, providing constructive feedbacks and willingly offering their help throughout each step. The unique aspect of this contest was that the pool of submissions was open for public viewing, which encouraged designers to engage more closely with and gain inspiration from each other's work. Distant and disconnected members soon found themselves in the company of friends, where strong bonds were beginning to form.

The wall of art that you see here, represents countless hours of hard work from designers, ranging from amateurs to professionals, who dedicated their time and creative efforts in support of Firefox. We were absolutely thrilled with the level of interest and talent that came through, and thoroughly enjoyed witnessing the evolution of the group over time.

We received over 2,000 submissions, and created a growing community of over 3,500 members on the Flickr contest group -- thats amazing! Our team here at Mozilla tackled the challenging task of picking the top 5 which were then passed off to the community for a final decision. Garnering the overwhelming majority of the votes, was the "lineup" design by Tracie Andrews from the UK which illustrated the global community through universal symbols of women and men with a clever integration of the fox among them. The runners up were Kevin Weagle, Ali Riyaz, Mathew Anderson, and Brett Rex Cannell. Please join me once again in congratulating the winners! I also wanted to give a special thanks to you, to everyone that contributed and helped in shaping this effort into the success that it became.

The winning design is currently in print production as the official Firefox 3 T-shirt, and scheduled to arrive in the Mozilla Stores within the next few weeks! Tracie was among our top designers and we're very excited to have her design featured in our Store.

So what's next? We're definitely not saying goodbyes! In fact the wide array of creative talent has inspired us into launching a whole new project to help embrace and promote the many other great submissions that we've received. Our vision is to "open-source" these designs so that they can be available for print and released into the wild. There are a lot of legal hurdles we must overcome first, but we are working hard and excited to make this happen!

We'd love to keep in touch with you and maintain this global community of designers that have stepped up and connected with us. So please make sure to stick around and check back on the Flickr group and the Spreadfirefox.com homepage for updates. I will keep you all posted and pass along the latest news.

Below is an image-collage representing the broad spectrum of designs...a mere slice, a sample of what was submitted to us by you. A great wall of creative contributions from around the world... all in support of Firefox!

This was truly an amazing experience. Great job everyone, and thanks again!

** I must note that many of the designs included in this image-collage are in violation of our Trademark Policy which states that the Firefox Logo and all other Visual Identities may not be changed in any way. Therefore designs that did not abide by this policy or adhere to other Contest Rules were rendered ineligible for Round 2. They are here nonetheless to represent the creativity and artistic expressions of the group.

** I'd also like to reiterate that this image-collage represents only a fraction of the total designs submitted to us and is intended to illustrate the wide variety of design styles that came through from community members all around the globe. For the full set of submissions currently available for viewing, please visit the Flickr Contest Group's Image Pool.

*Congratulations Tracie Andrews!*

The winner of the Firefox 3 T-shirt Design Contest, and Designer of the Official Firefox 3 T-shirt which will be featured in The Mozilla Store as an exclusive item!

**** The Submission Period for the Firefox 3 Design Contest Has Ended! ****

We've received close to 2000 submissions and created a growing community of over 3,300 members on the contest-specific Flickr group!

The broad reach of this effort and diverse pool of participants has been absolutely amazing. There were creative contributions from many corners of the globe including, but not limited to: Australia, Canada, China, Cyprus, France, India, Indonesia, Italy, New Zealand, The Philippines, South Africa, Sri Lanka, Singapore, Turkey, The UK, South America, North America, and many more! For a taste of the diverse reach of this contest, please refer to the Flickr discussion thread: Contributions From Around The Globe

Its not too often where a community of this size, distributed around the world can openly interact with one another and engage in a common activity. Although this was technically a competition, I saw everyone helping to support each other - providing constructive feedback and actively participating in the discussion boards. There was a sense of beauty to all of this and I thoroughly enjoyed witnessing the growth and evolution of the group. The friendship and bonds that are formed through such experiences are far more valuable than any single prize (although I must say the glory of having your design printed as the official Firefox 3 t-shirt is pretty awesome too!).

I want to thank everyone for their dedicated support and creative contributions during this process, we couldn't have done it without you and I'm so proud of the talent that is represented through the image-pool that we've built together. With so many unique concepts and amazing designs to choose from, our job in the next several days will not be easy! We'll be working hard to review all the submissions and to select the top 5 qualifying designs for round two. These 5 finalists will be contacted through their Flickr account using FlickrMail with detailed information for the next steps.

In the meantime, I encourage you to view the wide variety of design submissions we have in the Flickr Image-Pool.

The fun isn't over yet so make sure to check back with us for more updates. Don't forget, voting is open to everyone and your vote counts!

Submission & Judging Criteria:

You can submit more than one design, but only one submission can qualify to the second round.
All designs must be print-ready, and created using a scalable vector graphics (SVG) program such as Adobe illustrator or Inkscape (an open-source SVG program).
Your design is printed on the front of the T-Shirt only and fitted within a max area of 10” x 10” (25.4 cm x 25.4 cm). It should not cover the sleeves or the seams.
Make sure to suggest a T-Shirt color to complement your design. The available T-Shirt colors can be found here.

Optional step:
- If using Adobe programs, download the Photoshop "T-Shirt Design Template" file attached to this group post (scroll all the way down). You must right click and "Save Link As" in order to download the file to your desktop. Then open the file using Adobe Photoshop and add your design image to the appropriate layer: Select a T-Shirt color from the base layers or color palette layer, upload and add your SVG-based design to the “YOUR DESIGN” layer.
- If using a different program, you can download the alternative JPG file "T-Shirt Design Template" to use for displaying your design. The file is attached to this group post (scroll all the way down).

Save your file as a JPG or PNG image format and upload it into your Flickr account.
Tag your photo with the phrase "FF3 Tcontest". This will allow us to search for and pull your photo into a public image gallery.
Join the contest-specific Flickr group FF3 T-Shirt Design Contest and add your image to the image pool.
Photos uploaded into this contest-specific group will qualify as a submission and reviewed by the Mozilla team.
Make sure your Flickr account is linked to an active email address; this is the only means of contacting the finalists! You have 5 days from the date of notification to get back to us with the necessary documents to proceed to the next round.
Don't forget, the submission deadline is Sunday March 16th 11:59 PM Pacific Standard Time (PST). Need some help with the time zone? Check out the Time Zone Converter and calculate the appropriate deadlines for your location.

First round judging:

An internal team at Mozilla will review the submissions and the top 5 designs meeting all criteria will go to the second round. Designs are evaluated using the following factors:
- Concept / Originality
- Effective communication of brand and Firefox 3
- Completeness of design – must be ready for print
- Visibility – eye-catching and visible from a reasonable distance
- Legality
- Feasibility

Second round judging:

The top 5 designers will be contacted through Flickr to submit all eligibility documents, including the high-resolution SVG design files via email.
The top 5 designs are re-posted online at the Mozilla Store website for voting.
Voting is worldwide and open to everyone. You choose the winner!

Design Guidelines:

We’re looking for a unique, creative design that embodies the essence of Firefox 3. We know this is a challenging task, so here are some thoughts to help guide you:

General Concepts:

We like to think that Firefox 3 will make the Web better and more enjoyable for its users. So, you could focus on themes that reflect the positive aspects of the Web as a whole (and perhaps show Firefox's connection to them) - things like innovation, global community, collaboration, knowledge, fun, technology, etc.

Specific Concepts:

You could also focus on any of the specific Firefox benefits as the basis for your concept. These include security, customization, “100% organic software”, performance, productivity and of course many more. See the Firefox messaging document for more inspiration.

We’d like to stress that your interpretation of the above themes (or any others) does not have to be literal. The back of the T-Shirt will contain the Firefox logo and the Get-Firefox URL, so on the front you're free to be as abstract as you'd like. For example, you're certainly welcome to use the Firefox logo again in your art on the front but it's by no means mandatory. Our top priority is to find a great shirt design that in some way represents themes like the ones mentioned above. Be creative and have fun!
If you need to use the Firefox logo for your design, make sure to visit the materials page to download the logo and follow the Mozilla Foundation Trademark Policy.

Can I submit a design as a group?

Yes, you can collaborate with a design group. But one person must represent the group in the contest by creating a Flickr account for submitting their design.

If you are using the logo, make sure to visit the materials page to download the logo and follow the Mozilla Foundation Trademark Policy.

Can I include logos or information about competitors in my design?

No. Your design themes should be centered around the Internet/Web in general and/or in some way represent Firefox 3. For more details please refer to the section on Design Guidelines.

Hi people!

You know how some things get stuck in your mind like 4ever? Well in one computer magazine I saw this t-shirt design:

... and I would really like to buy it for my gf. Can anyone tell me where?

Thank you!

Using images as buttons?

Posted June 4th, 2008 by cook

A lot of these images are really cool. It would be a shame if they where not used for anything since there can only be 5 winners. Is there a plan to make buttons for spreading Firefox with the other images that will not be made into shirts?

"Late" submissions for the FF3 T-Shirt contest

Posted March 17th, 2008 by tianjinwaiguoren

I'm trying to get a response from someone "in the know" about the design contest - or more specifically, someone who has the power to push an exception clause through to allow for the submission of entries which were not late. I submitted my entry on time but didn't discover until too late that merely tagging it would not qualify it for submission.

Raster graphics

Posted March 13th, 2008 by VSmith03

I'm not that computer savvy, so I was wondering what raster graphics are. Somebody replied to my designs saying they were raster graphics and I needed to correct that. How do I do that?

Must be ready to print, but no logo?
Posted February 20th, 2008 by Majken

I guess this is two issues, but they're intertwined.

First of all, why require SVG? Surely it's preferable to have someone help put the design in SVG than to miss some great ideas because people didn't have the right software, or didn't feel comfortable using it.
