Okay... so before I begin announcing, I just have to say that this is the worst part of the contests we run. I love giving out the prizes, but I hate breaking some people's hearts. To those who didn't win, don't give up hope... I will post more details later.
clapWow Gus i knew this will be winner !!! clap and congrats everyone :ivar:ivar:ivar
And for my enteries
Nice one Awais - You always seem to have inspiring graphics at hand. You know I actually made that little Pakistani Smuggie for ya Pictured here. I don't follow the cricket all that much myself though

Hello fotodojo yeah i love these illustrations and i love yours a lot !
Your ideas are wonderful ! loved that Pakistan's and one i saw yesterday in your web "Reading manual before starting"
Keep up the great work !

I desined merch to covey what Smugmug was to PPL who wouldn't know.
Thus to get more members via catchy adverts. Camera strap and bumper stickers.
Oh well.....SEE.....told ya....I never win anything!
I posted a little bit about it a page or two back in this thread. But basically, I am planning to leave an open-ended sort of thing for future gear designs. We will have rewards (though none quite as extravagant as the camera or anything:D), and just add new designs to the store. We really like the idea of an all user generated gear shop.
Of course, we are going to be very picky and probably whimsical in what we will actually choose, so if rejection is going to ruin anyone's day... they probably shouldn't enter. :cry
I will try and actually hammer out details later (busy trying to send out the phat lewtz to the winners right now!), but don't discard any designs in progress.

I think I can speak for everyone here. :rutt
We all appreciate the opportunity to contribute to the idea pool.
It was a welcome and fun change to make things with CS2 rather than just editing photography! (Personally I had fun just doof'in around!!)
I thought FotoDojo's whimsical cartoon graphics were SUPER!!

Yeah my designs were more targeted to an advertisement. So ashamed I won't show them.
"A photo is like a hamburger. You can get one from McDonalds for $1, one from Chili's for $5, or one from Ruth's Chris for $15. You usually get what you pay for, but don't expect a Ruth's Chris burger at a McDonalds price, if you want that, go cook it yourself." - me
Congratulations to the winners and to all who entered! WOW!! I am really impressed with the talent we have here. Someone metioned stick figures. That's pretty much my speed too. I don't know about the others, but I sure had a hard time picking favorites. There were just so many excellent entries
Personally, I'd be proud to wear any of the winning, or honorable mention, apparel. Well, with the possible exception of Mike's Smuggy thong design :lol

Hell I can't draw a stick figure...even with a computer! :lol
Like with all art.....some have the talent and some don't!
We all had fun and hope to do something similar again sometime.
Hehe thanks for the vote of confidence here. The Huey is actually something I could actually use a bit. (I have a 30D and an Intel Mac mini - though of course any additional cameras or computers wouldn't have gone astray =P ).
Gus' designs are on the whole quite frankly simpler & funnier than mine. The ones I did are more cryptic (requiring a 2nd glance) and sometimes simplicity is king.
In any case I can always change the graphics slightly and submit them to the Pba..er..Fli...er.. Canon, yes that's it, Canon competitions .
I might actually get a version of my first image printed on one of those "schtickers" mentioned in this thread - we'll see how it turns out.

Thanks Ed & everyone. I have 4 prime lenses so will be put to very good use let me assure you. I was actually 1/6th the way to a new 30D with my savings from sales (yeah huge isnt it ) but now i might even look to use those savings for a Sigma EF500 DG Super.

What's really good is the grand prize went to someone who who can use it! Wonderful timing.

Gus, you'll need that flash to properly illuminate those wild grizzly bears (up close) at Glacier next year.
