Hi Funiboy,
thank you for the feedback. For the gradient you should not worry: I can provide a nice, complex version you can use on the web or print, and a flat simplified version you can use on shirts or gadgets,..
The best thing you can do is going to the print shop of your choice and ask them directly what they can or cannot do: it depend on the machine they use, on the result you want to achieve, on the kind of shirt you want to print the logo on... There are several aspects to consider, and the best is to discuss them with the person that is actually going to do the print work. This is the best advice I can give to you, talking by experience.
Back to the contest: I've just uploaded a few new color combinations of
#31, and a new crest. Hope you like them.
