Default Sons of Ben 2009 Scarf Design Contest

Calling all artists, with the 2009 DVI scarf all settled, we are putting the call out to prepare for the pending announcement of the team name and colors.

The key ingredients

Sons of Ben font is Sebaldus Gottisch and available to download free at dafont.com

Dimensions are 520 x 65

If you use the Sons of Ben logo, the Jolly Franklin, do not alter it in any way. If the team's colors are a drastic change, the JF may change. If they are similar, they may not.



If you'd like to use the team name in your design, don't wait to submit. Use a place filler. Full team name Philadelphia Names, if you are just using the name, use Names in your design.

Apart from the JF, design your scarf using black, white, and grey. We will ask you to modify them as we move forward in the process.

Keep in mind, we will be doing traditional knit and summer weight with the same design.

You may submit as many entries as you like. If one of your sides is selected for the scarf, you will win the scarf(s) with your design. Post your artwork here for consideration.

Submission deadline is 5/1/09

Our very first scarf (2007)



I'm hoping Dills remembers how many we ordered.

Our second scarf with the Color Bars on one side and the Join, Or Die on the other only sold 27 pieces.

Bryan - this is a work in progress.
But is this what you want as far as the "Apart from the JF, design your scarf using black, white, and grey." ?

suggestion ... make the "O" in "SOB" lowercase.

i would think the black/white/grey are placeholders that should be easily modified and replaced once the official team colors are announced.

Good start, and yes Dillon is correct, the colors are placeholders that the artist can easily modified

That's already been taken care off - I just wanted something up so I know if I'm doing this correctly.

I think I still design it in SoB colors - it's too difficult to keep the colors straight in gray scale.

I'll change it to post the final design.
