I like your favorite as well.

However, I am still bothered that didn't hire a professional to do this!!! So cheap to me. :shrug:

I disagree. These posters, and that one in particular, are so much better than what a "professional" would do. Have you seen the "professional" work Stevie and the Mac often use? Think stevie tourbooks, the same mac logo and photo for 10+ years, the band's website... The band and their handlers dont seem to care about this stuff. So it's nice that the fans do and can produce a lovely piece of art for the band. Whether or not it is used is another thing. (any one remember that Tshirt contest a few tours back?)

Interesting- to me, most of those in the contest are awful. I don't necessarily mean they should use the "professionals" they have used in the past, or designs by Chris Nicks.... I'm saying they should go all out and hire someone who is *excellent* and pay for quality. But to each his/her own :)

A lot of British artist are doing this , and it is not cheap it gives some people with amazing talent a break and someone with a lot of balls and a crayon or photoshop a chance to try AT least they tried !!! You can see who put in an effort and who went with the obvious . why should the same people keep getting the work and then using the same publicity still over and over and over poster website tees and press .... oh yeah any change is bad must be familiar must keep with the "brand"

I think a $500 prize for a poster that will be used for generating publicity for something that will bring in millions of dollars is cheap. If they made it a really cool prize, I would feel differently. I couldn't even get a professional logo for my business for less than $1,000 and I am very small-time :p

I guess I will just have to agree to disagree on this topic! :xoxo:

I like two entries by Garrett Oie, numbers 37 and 61 but I would choose number 37 as the better of the two for me at least! I like his choice of design, colour/color, and because he blended the past with the, recent, present.:nod:

most of these are just...terrible. :lol:

Thanks for sharing. I think FM or Stevie should let us fans put a tourbook together.That will never happen do to legal issues doing something like that.

Some of those were not that bad.Those light colored one were hard to read.

Jondalar 03-13-2013 02:42 AM

Some of those are really good, but I agree that http://assets5.creativeallies.com/sy...jpg?1362642971 and hope it wins.

I like this one, but it suggests that Christine is also touring, but I like the art nouveau style

I agree most of them are pretty terrible.

There's one just showing rocking chairs on a porch. That's hysterical.

This one is just frightening.
