The Hot Chip boys are an elusive crew and tough to track down, especially in the dark, but we did it! And thus, we proudly present the next chapter in amazing 2008 Loves challenges...



We're going to do it a little differently this time with the theme of "Made In The Dark," not so coincidentally the name of Hot Chip's stellar new album. We'd love for you to submit designs featuring new and innovative uses for glow ink! This is your challenge, designers, and you have until March 31 to submit your glowing masterpiece. If Hot Chip deem it worthy to carry the LOVES banner, you could be rocking out on your new MicroKorg keyboard, as used by the boys themselves! Check out the Loves page for the full list of goodies up for grabs and don't forget...

Do it do it do it do it do it do it do it now!

Hot Chip is sweetness personified!

Also, the Rob and Big contest already had some amazing glow ink ideas, but we'll see if those can be outdone.

(Quite off topic)

how bout my slogan
"If this glows, we're in the dark"?

It scored high years ago. My hope has faded, but does it have any chance of getting printed? Thanks.

backtozero on Feb 29 '08 at 7:54pm
whoa, I just found out that it's now 70%, from about 60% the last time I saw it.

thanks for the supporters, especially nintechno, who has been pushing out cool slogans in his blog.

btw, here are some other questions..

1 what colors are available for glow ink?
2 does the standard glow ink (ie, yellowish) look obvious/translucent on dark/black shirts?
Robsoul
   Robsoul on Mar 01 '08 at 8:41pm
backtozero has some good questions and I started this blog hoping to get some answers as well.

thanks.
