@Tu you can read the official public guidelines here You may use the SA Flag You may use 2010 by itself as its just a year right? The flag and the date shouldnt be a problem just dont alude to anything FIFA related You may not use Zakumi You can use the map You may use SA and RSA shoutBack 1 week, 5 days ago by

Oh oops I missed a few of the lines. Scratch my last sentence in my questions shoutBack 2 weeks, 2 days ago by

OK… That’s a lot of rules… Totally understood as we’re NOT making an official tee. That would be very much copyright infringing. Now let’s see what else I can (can’t) use… Can I use the SA flag? Can I use 2010 by itself? Can I use 2010 with the image of the SA flag? Can I use images of the stadiums? You didn’t mention Zakumi but I assume you can’t use the green-spotted anime mascot. Can I use the map of SA? Can I use “SA”? Can I use “RSA”? Can I use “2010 SA”? shoutBack 2 weeks, 2 days ago by

Nothing like a detailed brief outlining EXACTLY what you CAN’T do. I bet FIFA’s public guidelines is at least a couple of hundred pages! Ok, so nothing that even remotely resembles anything at all to do with the FIFA World Cup 2010!~ Got it. Hmmm, I’m thinking I may just have to wait until there is a rugby theme? But I’ll take the challenge. shoutBack 2 weeks, 2 days ago by

First of all I want to thank Telana for drilling me into actually producing a design despite having not had any time for a couple weeks to myself. Even now as I type this at 2AM, I feel damn good about how this design turned out :)

So, I sincerely hope you like it too!

This design was inspired by MI:3’s movie poster striking a match. (click here to see said Mission Impossible: 3 poster!) It was pretty clear to me that Telana’s vision, although seemingly impossible, was far from it, as her progress thus far has indicated.

I love the concept of Onematchstick - the bringing together of people from all different walks of life, driven by curiosity and goodwill, is just as intriguing as it is dreamy.

With this crazy, somewhat thoughtful and somewhat splattered design, I hope I have captured the the onematchstick essence!

Some stuff you might miss in there if you’re not looking:
Rodrigus the frog turned superspy
18 bottles of wine
375 Tees (YES THERE ARE!! you don’t have to take my word for it :P)
3 grand in crisp R200 notes
and ONEMATCHSTICK.BLOGSPOT.COM the url, if you look really hard :)

If anyone wants to buy this T-shirt as a trade with me for one of my 375 T-shirts PLEASE use the coupon code onematchstick when making your purchase, and send me a quick email to onematchstick@gmail.com so I can track the numbers. THANK YOU! You can read about the trade related to this T-shirt here: http://onematchstick.blogspot.com/2009/09/and-winner-is_18.html shoutBack 2 weeks ago by

Woot!! Thanks for everything guys! I simply dig the whole concept. I hope to wear it (and wear it proud!) soon! Already sent the files through to Springleap, it’s up to the powers that be now! :D Guys when/if you get the tees I’d love if you tweet it at @Tuism !! :D shoutBack 2 weeks, 1 day ago by

Well Done Tu! Wicked design, a worthy winner. shoutBack 2 weeks, 1 day ago by

WHAT A MASTER PIECE!!!!! shoutBack 2 weeks, 2 days ago by

Thanks my bubbly bros :) (I know Eran’s not a girl and I’m hoping Chucky isn’t one either) Hey Eran, don’t you think a politically themed contest would be interesting in the times we’re living in? Just a (totally unrelated) thought :) shoutBack 2 weeks, 3 days ago by

Really exciting design! well executed!!! shoutBack 2 weeks, 5 days ago by

Dude- your designs are so flipping classic that it’s almost cruel to others :P lol! The integration of the crowd in the type design is awesome!!! shoutBack 2 weeks, 6 days ago by

Thanks for the props my homedawgs. I really enjoyed putting it together, haven’t worked so much detail in a while. It was zen-like! Thx kingslip for the constructive crit! I thought of M:P too, but M:P doesn’t have quite the same striking resemblance to M:I:III :P And I couldn’t leave Rodrigez hanging (or rather, not hanging) if I left out the movie reference! Check out my blog Tuism.com for the story of how her persistence made me do this design in half a day/night :) shoutBack 3 weeks ago by

I love the ONE MATCHSTIC PART, but would have totally left out the mission: not impossible part, it’s not needed. Also, i think a better antonym would have been; mission: possible. but great stuff in the bottom 2 thirds, love it shoutBack 3 weeks ago by

MMOs tend to have dedicated fan bases and everyone has their favourite: Aion, City of Heroes, WoW, Guild Wars, Lord of the Rings Online … the list goes on and on. Everyone has their own personal favourite or the hip one that everyone and their pet goldfish is currently engrossed in. For example, I’m renowned for my adoration of the gorgeous USA MMO that is LOTRO, as well as my passion for WoW while LOTRO power leveling.
Personally, these are the only two MMOs which do it for me enough that I will spend copious amounts of time exploring, questing and flying around pretty aimlessly. I enjoy beautiful scene and epic storyline while Lord of The Rings Online Power Leveling. So two is my limit, I will occasionally play a couple extra, if I have to review something or a beta comes up but there’s often little to keep me going past that. Yet LOTRO and WoW remain, filling the void and I couldn’t be happier. Especially as there’s more than enough happening between the two of them at the moment to keep me very busy. However I know that lots players love fresh feelings. They may change the games very often, for the new questing or free beta.

This t-shirt was inspired by Telana Simpson.
She believes anything is possible and anything is negogiable. If more people shared her philiosophy on life we would have a different world.

This t-shirt is for the one match stick challenge.

Love the font and the simple message. Very effective. shoutBack 2 weeks, 2 days ago by
