Hello, Here is the design I came up with for you. I took the strong universal concept of the crown of thorns, and gave it a hip, rough feel. I will see if I can incorporate some additional imagery as well, but I do like the clean simplicity of this--especially for use on t-shirts. It's bold and makes people stop and think.
Thank you for the ranking! Here is a revised entry combining the 2 top-ranked ideas into one. Also, if you think of any possible changes or alternate colors you may wish to see, just let me know. Thanks again.
