The owner of LRG, Jonas Bevacqua, redesigned the LRG cycle logo. Reinterpreted as a serpent, because he was born in the year of the snake. Then he had it made into two iced out gold pendants. As seen below.
...so for the contest i put in some vector work and cleaned it all up, nice and crispy. At the same time my dude Rob hits me up with a nice concept for a shirt. Basically a Garden of Eden steez, with an apple etc. So i went and mocked it up and voila. A design that should appeal to the dude judging the contest, as well as the the regular dude who doesnt even know the story. I think it should win, all bias aside, because the rest of the entries are doo doo. ( www.myspace.com/benballer ). See for yourself.
ps - i dont know why the template provided was a v-neck, but it is what it is. And the "DESIGNER" shirt i made was 100% a joke and just taking shots at the crappy entries, but that might (as manny suggested) end up in the Warfare Summer collection. We shall see.

This ain't even because I know you, but for real, I don't see how they could choose any of those entries over yours.
^Plus he wants you to stay hush hush about when he puked on my face at Widmer Bros.
Simply awesome, I would rock the 4th one with pride if you made it.
Sadly, I don't think Ben has been actioning his myspace comments because I don't see my entries on his page. I wanted to give you a run for the contest! but all in all, I hope you take the win!
Peace!
thanks nick.
And Stefan, i knew youd like that 4th on. People that dont know, just dont get it, but thats the beauty of it.
thats too bad about your entries not showing up, id like to see them though. Send em my way.
super clean designs man, you specialize in typography or some shit? and hopefully the template they provided didnt have a plunging neckline. last thing i want to see is a shirt with your design being rocked with a gang of taco meat. pause.
Thanks retro. Im actually not a big fan of typography. I dont mind it as a design element, but overall it bores me. And i rather pick the scabs off Fames satchel, than ever set text.
And im hoping they dont make v-necks too. If i win im gonna fight for crewneck sweatshirts.
word, i recall reading your blog and seeing some pretty cool shit you designed that had some letters up in there.
ps - jakey poo says its only fair since you're the one who created the scabs in the first place.
pps - get a 360 and call of duty.

Im too easily distracted. If i got an xbox, id never get anything done. hell, ive been refusing to even get cable tv since i got in my new place, for productivity reasons.
ps - i like your writing style. *blog favorited.
Sick.
Good stuff bro. Hope you win.
Yeah the 4th one is dope. But the first one looks a like a for sure winner.
Peace.
I agree with Retro: Call of Duty 4is better than a salty teenage hand puppet! But go with the PS3 kiddo. Anywhoo, Cox, when are they going to announce the winner of the LRG contest? I wonder which one of those bum's crusty designs they are going to rob you in favor of.
Spank, im shocked you dont have PS3 AND xbox, seeing as how youre a gadget dork. If you had xbox you could play with jake and retro etc.
Regarding the contest though, there is supposed to be a winner announced this weekend. Ill probably get robbed, but i already threated one of the dudes deciding, with a car bombing. So maybe that will help. Theyve already cut out most of the shitty ones, and the "decent" ones remain.
Cross your fingers.
i cant believe i typed "threated".
