Pluck
U T-Shirt Design Ideas Contest at "99Designs.com"

I
wanted to post a Contest
URL but it doesn't seem to work (drat!). I wrote to 99Designs
to ask how.
Project Description & Info
We're designing
workshops to move harpists from the background into the spotlight
- the cutting edge of electric harp. We're holding a T-Shirt
Design contest at 99Designs. You may be not be able to see
the contest unless you have a 99Design account, and so far
I can't figure out how to link to the contest - but I have
an email into their tech support so hopefully I'll know soon
... er ... hopefully long before the contest ends.
I've been
unable to upload any files to 99Design, no matter how small
or what format, so I'm putting them here (see images below).
We're open
to all designs. What we're assuming we'll get might be something
like these examples of T-shirt designs
from the web.
Please
note that I've written a lot of information about our project
and our goals in the 99Designs
contest. Here's
a very brief recap of the basics: Our
name: Pluck U
Overall
Project Description: We're
developing workshops to move harpists from the background
into the spotlight - the cutting edge of electric harp. Motto
#1: Where
Passion meets Performance
Motto
#2:
Take a
Harp.
Shrink it down.
Strap it on.
Plug it in.
Our
URL: PluckUniversity.com (don't
click - it's not up and running yet)
Our
parent company: HipHarp.com. If you
want to include this in a small reference, that could be
cool,
but not
necessary:
"A subsidiary of HipHarp.com" T-Shirt
Description: This
is a t-shirt for our new workshop and URL, "Pluck
University" (yes, "Pluck
U").
We want
people to do a double-take. Well, actually a triple take:
We want them to think at first that it's just
a university
T-Shirt, but with an electric harp in the center of the logo.
We
also want them to be a little shocked by “Pluck
U” -
but that will probably happen naturally if you treat
it as though it's a University T-Shirt ... but a University
of
Rock ...
actually, Rock Harp.
We
want it to say both "Pluck
U" in large letters and "PluckUniversity.com"*
in small letters. *No, that
URL doesn't link anywhere yet
Other
notes about the project: This T-Shirt is first and
foremost for harpists - who've been
marginalized and 'angel-ized' for years. It’s to
help us make a statement about how we want to play (we
want to rock) - and now we finally have the instrument
to do it with.
We'll
be selling them online and at events where the co-inventor
of the strap-on electric harp will be teaching
people how
to strap it on, amplify it and rock out with it.
