Ehsan, What font and size has been used for the "BanglaCricket - Home of the Tiger Fans" in the titel banner, on top of the pages?

[Ehsan]

Leaving out font size to the designer's taste. But it should be made visible as Rule # 6 states.

Also, the option of putting "BanglaCricket.com" and "Home of Tigers' Fans" together or not has been left to the judgment of the designer. For example:

BanglaCricket.com
Home of the Tigers' Fans

BanglaCricket.com - Home of the Tigers' Fans

Home of the Tigers' Fans
BanglaCricket.com

So, designers, placement and font size of BanglaCricket.com and Home of Tigers' Fans is on your hand. Play around and come with your best effort. We encourage everyone to participate in this noble cause that will also earn you some recognition.

merci

[Ehsan]

Font name is now added to the rules.

[Bancan]

So the design doesnt have to be on a t shirt. It can be on a blank document in photoshop or paint as long as i change the format to PDF or PSD rite?

[Ehsan]

That is correct. But for illustration purposes you may want to put your design on a T-Shirt picture on Adobe Photoshop. This is absolutely optional, it may give the judging committee an idea on how your design may look like in a T-shirt.

Please keep in mind that you must not use the BC Design Tools for any other purpose or design other than what involves BC.

[Hatebreed]

I want to use a slightly more stylish font. Please tell me it's allowed? The "official" font looks dull on a t-shirt.

[DotBall]

This is a great idea and I hope BC will raise a ton to help out the needy at home.
Will the members be able to see at least the top 5 designs? I sure would like to see the effort from our delligent members. Good luck.

"official" was in quotes. Be creative.

[Ehsan]

Alright, I guess things got a little confusing. We actually recommend you to use our official font. But we are not too stirngent about it. We want you to use your imagination and be creative. You could try out different other fonts that you may like. But don't go too funky to make it look unprofessional.

A tip:
Put down your thoughts and imaginations on a paper and when you like one of the design or thought process that you started then only get your hands on Adobe Photoshop. This may allow you to deisgn effectively and get the best out of you.

You can also ask your friends and family on how they like the design that you put on the paper. May not be a bad idea to get people's feedback before you start on Photoshop.

[Rubu]

A suggestion: people should be allowed to submit multiple designs. Sometimes a designer's second best can be other's best.

According to rule # 7, a maximum of 3 designs per member is allowed.

Also, if people want they can design the back of the T-shirt. This is OPTIONAl again. A pair of front and back will be counted as one submission.

[rafiq]

please don't print T-shirts with that slogan, "Home of the Tigers' Fans" I'm sorry but that's grammatically questionable. "banglacricket.com" pretty much says it, anything more is cheesy in my opinion. nice idea btw, i'll buy a few

It looked a little odd to me too. But I can't put my finger on it. What would be the right phrase?

[Puck]

i have just emailed mine! i used official font but different colours.

has to be said that i've only spent around an hour and half so no expecting too much from them..

[Ehsan]
