Hey! Ta for the comments.

Man, must say I'm a little disappointed with how this came out. I had to turn it into a Raster as the vector file was far too big to submit. It looks a little washed out. Oh well...

great way to incorporate the cross logo w/o actually using it.

Very nice

... an excellent design - good work! I agree with bettybob, the flags within the cross, within the heart work very well - some nifty masking! ... the only other thing I would say is it would be good to see it in a t-shirt context, also I reckon it would work well being even bigger and maybe centrally aligned?

NOPE! NO CANADA!!

"NOPE! NO CANADA!!"

I missed out a few other countries too. Besides, Canada has Mounties and if they're all like the lovely Benton Faser from Due South than they'll never need the Red Cross.

... you put texas, but not canada?

unless a country has the same flag as texas.

but leaving out canada is idiotic.

BloodyMidget on Apr 25 '06
yeah its called chile...
BloodyMidget
BloodyMidget on Apr 25 '06
and yes we all know that Canada is not a real country...maybe it would be if it dropped out all those Québécois...

On to better things...this is one of the three designs that I have liked out of this whole Red Cross Competition. I would have liked some more variety in the flags (Chile is there twice) but it incorporates almost every other symbol that I have seen in one mundane form or another for the last week or so and it does it very cleanly and simply...excellent job.

the flags used actually could be interchangeable to suit buyers in different countries....smart little money-maker idea there.
The only thing I don't like is the dotted outlines. Make them solid.

Tha's weird, I can't find the SCG flag no matter how hard I look. Slovenia was the first one I noticed, even before the flag of my countrys' (I'm a shame)... nifty use of colors.

germany?????...german flagg?
Tonteau
   Tonteau on Apr 26 '06
Oh for pity's sake!

The German flag has yellow in it which would break the four colour limit.

Look, If I haven't put your country's flag in, it's not because I hate you and your country, it's either because the colour wouldn't work or because I forgot, so don't take it personally. I'm English and there's not British/English flag in there.

If you like the design vote high, if you don't, vote low. Please, no more bloody flag whining.

The point of this shirt is to recognize that multiple countries benifit from the aid that the red cross gives. I think it does a better job of this that any other shirt I've seen submitted to this contest, hands down. All the elements are there. My only suggestion would be to fix the outer circle @ 3:00 (all the way to the right) because it loses its pattern there. Otherwise, amazing job. $5

Sheesh, all the picky flag people. I think this is a great design, and so far one of the best Red Cross submissions.

But like... Australia has it's own Red Cross... I don't think the American Red Cross does much for Australians. That probably goes for a lot of the other countries you've represented, too.

Well, I'm sure they must have worked together to help, say, Thailand when it covered in water recently. That's why they're next to each other. They're friends!

Good design, but I would never wear it without the Canadian flag on it.
Too bad.
The Chile duplicate looks awkward, I'd replace that flag with something else.

dissapointed that you didnt use canada, but my tunisian parents would be impressed that you used tunisia! 5 + buy

Unfortunately, the arab countries which you depicted don't have the Red Cross, but the Red Crescent. This is for the American Red Cross, anyhow.

Nice design, but factually incorrect.

It's funny, because my friend made a design very similar to this (except the flags were in an eye) for an art project. I likes it.
Tonteau
   Tonteau on Apr 30 '06
"too easy"

Is that related to the design? I don't honestly know what to make of it if it is.

Anyone got any comment on the actual design, rather than flag omissions or otherwise?

i have to agree with all the rest of the canadians...i'd like to see a maple leaf on this shirt! :)

People need to shut the hell up about lack of their flags.

I'm totally doing Chile for a project that goes all throughout the year in my history class, but I just realized that I have no idea what their flag looks like.

people stop dissing the flags. the world is huge and not every single flag can be fit on one tshirt. it's a great design and it represents this theme better than any other submission. personally i love all the little subtle things, like the cross being there without actually being there. also i think the thread around the heart shows how even though there is war and stuff we are all linked together and rely on eachother. great job! i really hope it wins. it's very clean and simple with a very powerful statement.
