Creative Design Battle!

Hey deviantWEAR fans,

We're bringing the power to the people and asking you -- those who actually WEAR the designs -- to help choose our next deviantWEAR shirts!  That's right, the decision is all yours.  Practice your democratic skills and vote for your favorites.

The following submissions were produced by members of deviantART's illustrious Creative team.  We've grouped them together in a collection called deviantWEAR Creative Design Battle and from there it's up to you. Browse the collection, use a discerning eye, and let us know which designs you like best.  Voice your opinion and let us know which designs should hit the presses!

Winning designs will be determined by a combination of factors including, but not limited to, number of favorites, number of pageviews, and positive feedback via comments.  Any obvious attempts to rig popularity will be disqualified.

The results will be tallied and announced on or around June 23^rd.  The winning shirts will launch shortly thereafter, so mark your calendars and let the battle begin.

Team deviantWEAR,
-$Waveswinger and $Heidi

New! Cubism Messenger Bag Design Challenge!
What comes to mind when you hear the name Pablo Picasso? That’s right, it’s time to break it down, Cubism-style! For the first time ever, we are hosting a Messenger Bag Design Challenge! We want you to create an original design for the flap of the bag in the style of Cubism.
For this challenge, we are defining Cubism as an art style in which instead of depicting objects from one viewpoint, the artist depicts the subject from multiple viewpoints to represent the subject in a greater context. Often, the surfaces intersect at seemingly random angles, removing a coherent sense of depth. The background and object planes interpenetrate one another to create a shallow ambiguous space.
Your design should appear on the flap of the bag (below the zipper), using only <

And The Winners Are....After many hours of deliberation our judges have reached a consensus! Before we reveal the winning designs we would like to thank and congratulate all participants in the Retro Future Design Challenge.

Now without further ado, your winning entries!
