The Grand Prize. I assume you all know what the prize is, but just in case... I thought I should take the time to remind you just how awesome it is. A brand spankin' new Canon 30D WITH the kit lens. huh
So who won? Gus did.
This particular design is the one that was the runaway favorite:
Though we will probably exploit a few more of his designs. :whip
Well Gus - looks like you'll have yer 30D . ..and looks like I'll have to buy my 400D .
Nice contest. Though I confess I didn't think that out of my images the one I entered with a caveat would be chosen as an Honorable Mention . Ah well Gift Horse - Mouth...
Oh and if we honorables do have a choice Ben, the Huey would be nice .. .
Okay, so this is the wrap-up post to tie up a few loose ends.
First off, this was a lot of fun, and I think we got some great gear designs that will go up on the store. Some of the winners need some minor tweaks or format changes before they can end up on the store, so it won't go up tonight or anything.
Secondly, we don't really want it to end here. I will think over the details and put something up official later... but the basic gist of it is, if you come up with good designs for gear/shirts/whatever... send them my way. If we like it, we will add it to the store, and reward you in some way (this is part of the details we need to figure out). We will make it worth your while though!
I will email the winners tomorrow and get the ball rolling on giving out prizes right away (after all, who wants to wait for their goodies?).
This contest also gave us some fun ideas, so hopefully you will see more along these lines in the future.

Yeah, you definitely get a choice on which one you want. I will email you with details tonight or tomorrow and we will get you it asap.
I need my daily Gus drawing. It's been almost 24 hours since the last Gus drawing. I wonder if the Subway wrappers have taken over his house?
There is nothing like a "Gus" drawing..
Congratulations Gus
edit: Sorry I had a phone call in the middle of this and missed Mike's. Congratulations Mike..
Originally slated to be the "weak" 1.66Ghz Core Duo Mac Mini, the Second Place Prize underwend and executive override to become the beefy 1.83Ghz Core Duo Mac Mini.
Easily the smallest and sexiest machine on the market, it is definitely a prize to covet.
Proving that sometimes simpler is better, Mike Lane takes home the Mac Mini with his "See more of me on SmugMug" line. :ivar
An unnamed SmugMug employee plans to drape his poor kid head to toe in this gear and shamelessly promote the site. The horror! :wow

I won a computer? Holy moly!
