Going on tour again. Bunch of new projects ending with a TV ad shoot in Reno. It’s gunna be fun but a ton of work. It’s nice being able to piggyback these trips even if it keeps us away from home for longer. Sorry wives.
Get those votes in! Looking forward to seeing what everyone likes.

Voting ends on Monday, February 8th at midnight PST. It was a great contest. There are some great entries in there. We’ll have the results for you next week. We’re going to start another league in a couple weeks. Stay tuned. Thanks for making Clink fun. We love seeing your work. Great work everyone!

There are some great designs on all these ballots. I really like the discussion on these as well. Keep it up. When all the ballots are up. We’ll put out a call to make sure everyone’s represented. Then we’ll outline the voting rules and start the vote.

Did you know Mobile, AL is the birthplace of Mardi Gras in the U.S.? Alabama!? They still have a big party down there even if it’s now been eclipsed by New Orleans. Hard to pass up imagery like that so we did a bunch of concepts to celebrate that event. In the end, the team felt like Mardi Gras wasn’t for everyone and the the Mobile BayBears are.
A couple good ideas buried in there though. I still want to do a King-of-Baseball themed identity. And the ears on a cap might be cool. Have a great weekend! Team Coco.

Tom’s got it figured out. His Taco Boy entry was one of my favorite designs from the TSL. Taco Boy lives on! He made this shirt for his daughter with a printer, an iron, and love. Keep it fun. I’ll say it again, Tom’s got it figured out.
We’ll build the ballots this weekend and begin posting them on Monday. You guys can check everything to make sure your entry is up there, the way you want it. Then we’ll begin the voting later in the week.

This is the last entry that I’ve got in my inbox. Tomorrow is the final day to get me an entry.
Good discussion about the voting and the new SSL logo that we posted a couple days ago. We’ve been mulling it over, we think that the voting is important. We used a very long lens in looking at the voting from the TSL. The caps that are being produced are great and represent some of the strongest entries. A LOT of great designs are left over. And they are not on the cutting floor. They’re in-line. We have a League to fill here. As far as the SSL logo, we haven’t made a decision on that. It seems pretty divided. We’ll think of something.
Aaron! This is awesome. Way to finish this whole thing up strong. Could not have asked for a cooler entry. Dogtown/baseball/skaterat/stylie all wrapped up into one kick ass hat. Amazing. I think for this stage you’re good. But I’d like to see those socks a little longer. What are everyone’s thoughts?

LAST CALL! I’ve had some computer troubles over the last couple days. And I’m nervous that someone’s entry got lost in the shuffle. If you emailed me an NEW entry and haven’t seen it up here please email it again.
Casey & Jason
I apologize for the confusion. If you have a re-do get it to me by the end of the week. At this point all re-dos will appear on the ballot not as their own posts. I hope everyone that needs to read this does so.
Eli! Two great entries. Normally I would just pick one entry form from a team and post it. But I really think that both the Main and the Alternate are great. I especially like the alternate. Kick ass idea for a design, and very well executed. Both one and dones, very impressive.
Slayer! You and your Nike. Jay and I talked over the weekend about doing sneakers. Maybe with Nike or Vans. Could be cool. I like this color way a lot. Which do you prefer?
Alright, get those entries in before the end of the week!

This is something we’ve been tossing around for a couple weeks before we got slammed with work. An ode to all the skate originators, downhill bombers, and retro-junkies. Still rockin a fitted of course. What do you guys think? Better then the current SSL?
, January 19, 2010
Sam! Love the alt gore version. The things we could do with that blood in embroidery. Lets get it gross. Love it. Great work on all the ancillary story telling elements around the page too. Make it fun like Sam. Done.
Eli! Great color way. This is one of my favorite entries. Unique, iconic, simple. Done.
, January 18, 2010
Huge weekend guys, thanks for that. I’ve said it once, I’ll say it again. Get em while the gettin’s good. Seriously, thanks so much.

Sucks about the no posts for Wednesday, Thursday, Friday. The worst. We’re working on making it easier to make posts while we’re on the road. Reno required our full attention anyways. TV, print and radio ads all completed in a month! It’s going to be a gonzo rest of the month. Wish us luck. Let’s get to the SSL, I appreciate the self policing that’s been going on with keeping the contests and this collaboration positive. Keep the ball moving forward!
Tim! I love how clean this is and Jay and I always dig military imagery. It’s such rich, iconic territory. When I was in Reno I saw all of there awesome merch and they use a lot of white and silver thread together and it looked fresh. That would look great for this cap. I think this is a one-and-done. Way to go!
T.J.! Love these colors. Love that A. Love the rendering of all the acid/test tube elements. My one comment is that it’s busy but not in content. More in a composition sense. What I mean by that is, keep all the elements. Just compact it. I think you should make the acid pool streaking under the A. Underlining the A. Keep that great rendering trick you did with the refection and all the depth that that gives you. It shouldn’t pool out to right of the test tube is all. Great job!
Great job everyone! Let’s try to wrap up the rest of the entries and re-entries by the end of the week right? Right.
