Pick Your T-shirt
Wow. Since we launched ONE’s Next Top T-shirt challenge 3 weeks ago, more than 500 ONE members have sent us T-shirt design ideas. Their designs moved us, made us laugh and reminded everyone involved with this project that your creativity is a powerful force in the fight against global poverty.
The other judges and I had a tough time narrowing it down to 3, but we’ve done it and now it’s time to vote for your favourite T-shirt.
And to say thanks, after you vote we’ll send you a coupon for 15% off from the ONE Store. Here’s a sneak-peek at the finalists:
The winning T-shirt will be available in black and white, and in both men’s and women’s styles in the ONE Store online. We’ll let you know which design took the top honours soon.
But first, you have to decide which T-shirt they are going to wear. Vote now.

Congratulations on the t-shirts. Nice way of creating participation. I personally hope the remake of the ONE logo wins. I think it’s very important that communicating about fighting for a good cause can also be done by inspiring people by means of more subliminal visual incitements. instead of the so often used ones saying what to do or think. Allowing people to associate and create their own story about their relationship with the cause might turn out to be just as important in creating a new vocabulary around it and advocates for it. Again, big up!

Nice designs and the Africa shaped ones look better but if you read “About US” on the site it says:
“ONE is a campaign and advocacy organisation with more than 2 million members committed to the fight against extreme poverty and preventable disease, particularly in Africa.” … not ONLY AFRICA so I vote for the broader range image

Constrictive criticism.
The designs chosen as winners. They are similar, some pre-printed on a T-shirt from years past. If you ask original designs, you should not be selected like-minded, if not identical, printed on other products.
As I read, 500 original designs have been offered, I suppose that of these 500 designs, you should have found new ideas, “not the same flower with a different smell.” It is a criticism, if you read this review, you find that you should show the 500 designs that never saw, and you chose the designs that were on display since the beginning of the competition. (If not the same, very close).
To add veracity to the contest, you should reward those elected by you, but in turn should show the 497 remaining.
A cry for transparency and honesty. I do not think designers, renowned artists such as judges choose three non-original designs.
