14.003 and 16.001 (with a different shirt color) are my top two so far.

My favourite T-Shirt's are 16.001, 13.001, 11.002.

15006
14007

in chronological order (with one extra vote):

07.001 (reduced about 20%)
09.002 (something other than white)
14.002
16.003

08.005
09.001
14.003

Isn't it a bit early for a Top 3? According to the
Shoutbox there's 27 extra Tees down the line who
haven't appeared here yet, and there's a whole week
left for turning in submissons.

BTW 09.001. Concept, execution, visual impact, colour
scheme are all flawless. And just like last year's
California Job Case it looks incredibly cool. Which is
what any self-respecting Tee needs to do. Furthermore
it discouraged me from sending in a submission of my
own. I feel like I simply can't beat that.
No numbers 2 nor 3 yet.

Yves, yes of course it's premature (and since you're
counting, there are now 34 yet to post). But it's all about
the hype machine... We could do a totally blind contest and
surprise everybody at the end with the winning shirt, but
that's not very Typophile.

The shirts that arrive late in the game have the advantage
of coming in as a surprise - or maybe they have had more
time put in on them. But perhaps the disadvantage of not
getting 'shopped around' here.

I cannot pick only three. But, perhaps I can give my choices in groups of three or not.

Concept (but the design needs polishing):
06.002
21.007
26.002
12.001
26.002

Design (with some changes, perhaps)
08.001
17.002
24.008
14.003

Overall
24.012
19.010 Because, Typophile IS on fire! :^)
01.001 (the blue toothpaste, right?)
26.006 (props to our forebears)
08.011

01.004 "nipple" - it's so stupid so i like it!
11.002 "A is for ox" - very nice, thought-provoking.
19.010 "white fire" - clean design, looks good
24.004 "letraset" - conceptual and retro, makes me smile.

These 4 shirts I would happily wear myself. =)

Okay...

Here goes:

9.001 is the ONLY shirt I think I might actually wear, and I don't even like it that much.

There are very few others (so far) are conceptually strong, well crafted, or relevant to typophile. Fewer still which embody all three of these necessary characteristics.

I like 25.006, for example, I just don't think I would wear it.

I think 11.002 is very clever and thought provoking, but I also thought that the first time I saw it (in The Art of Looking Sideways?) so I'm not sure it's right for Typophile.

06.003 deserves to be a shirt, just not a typophile shirt. I guess Jared et al get first dips on submitted designs, but if they don't do something with it I'll put up the money to get it produced, just to have one myself. That's an offer.

My girlfriend likes 03.001. She also refers to you all as "type nerds." I won't tell you what she calls me.

There are a couple of others that have something going on, but again, nothing I would wear.

Of course, my closet is categorized by color, which is to say it is a study in various shades of black. Followed by various shades of grey, just to spice it up.

ok...i checked out every tee has been sent
untill now and here is my vote:

23.001, 23.003, 24.012

Also i think are remarkable:
25.006, 26.013, 26.016, 21.006, 21.006, 22.007, 16.003, 16.007.
(i found it difficult to judge the designs i sent, so i leave this to the rest of you...)

Hmmm...better stuff is turning up now, I'll revise my top three after all the shirts have been posted.

> better stuff is turning up now

Can anybody say "weasels"?
They're not even that good.
Polished, but uninspired.

Very "professional".

hhp

some in this new batch are from last year

Yeah, god forbid we endorse professionalism. That would be a shame.

At the risk of igniting an Hrant, what's weasely about them?

> god forbid we endorse professionalism.

Not [a] god, but common decency.

The designs aren't weasely, the act of submitting them at the last minute to avoid giving inspirations to others (and possibly avoid losing the great glory of winning, I suppose) is highly selfish. Professional.

Of course some of them aren't guilty of that.

Common decency? So I guess it's Jared's fault? He should have made it a three-day contest. But I guess then we'd be jumping all over the people who submitted designs on day three, wouldn&#39
