Good to see the response and how passionate you all are about your work, friends, and HORSE!
A few pointers:
Votes close tonight at 12:00. It's still anyones game. The winner of this voting round will get points toward the final tally.
Secondly: The top 3 designs from this round go through to the final: Poll are reset and 2 days of votes for the top three designs. Winner of that round will also receive points towards the finaly tally.
Thirdly: Bonus points are awarded from the band vote. Yup, we've asked Horse to vote on it too. They're assessing your designs right now, and will offer bonus points to the winners of the band vote as well.
So really, this last stretch is going to make all the dfifference! Keep posted.

I have one thing to say: will you people STOP COMPLAINING?
I personally think some of the designs are crap too, but I am not naming anyone! Vote for the one you choose and stop bitching.

Look at Raptor-Cube then look that the fourth image that comes up on this link:

Hahaha :) It's weird how the least original design wins and by so much? That shirt is gonna be flipping expensive to print as well. And ya, maybe people will buy it as memorabilia of the tour, but if all 7 were on sale the majority of non-proxy using people would buy 3D Horse or Snake Choke. Hands down.

I really think that the designs are different!! Well done to the finalists.. as for Raptor Cube.. interesting and well designed you are really creative! The best man/woman will will.. Raptor Cube you have my vote.
Brendan - 14 years ago
Ok well it seems raptor cube has won anyway, and well done to that designer. I know it's a competition and it all boils down to popularity, unfortunately its being a popular person in a competition that wins. Lets face it Raptor cube is not the best design, defend your friend by all means by posts saying it's original and stuff, sex raptor = rad, (I would have liked to have seen a kangarooster in here) but don't say the other designs are bad, they're all good in their own way. You're entitled to you opinion but don't slam other peoples designs, especially if you can't design yourself and if you can and you feel the need to say other designers are bad well then you're a bit of an A-hole....Anyway, my favourite design is 3D horse, it just looks like something I would wear and to me it resembles horse the band. Snake choke is probably the best design by a long way, I would wear that too, but it doesn't seem very HORSE THE BANDish, I wish that it could be a shirt I would buy but unfortunately it's not a design that I like so yeah. . .

Why isn't Snake Choke winning? It's one of the best I've ever seen!
Hayley - 14 years ago
Snake Choke for the win!
Evan - 14 years ago
Why isn't Snake Choke winning? I don't understand how that 26 colour Raptor Cube is winning?
Surely that shows a lack of design and thought process to have a 't-shirt' print have so many
colours? I really honestly feel that Snake Choke should win.
Chloe - 14 years ago
Raptor Cube is the bestest =]
All the other designs are well junk :/

Seriously, what's with the trolling? Those are all really wonderful designs, all different and all creative.
Just because your personal view disagrees with the winning vote, doesn't give you the right to diss the hard work other people put in. Honestly, if you think the designs are so terrible, why the hell didn't you make you own? These people worked hard to make these, the least you could do is show them some respect.
The Raptor-cube design is interesting, original and well-designed. Creativity, people!
I have been an avid fan of Horse since I managed to get my hands on their first album. I am sure all Horse fans can agree especially after seeing their newest video that they are all about pushing the boundaries on not only what music can be but what the visuals around music can evolve to when allowing yourself to experiment. Assuming that Raptor cube is in the lead because of friends rallying to vote just shows that not all South African fans listening to Horse because they believe in the same values, that their minds are not open to things they may not understand. There is nothing wrong with loving something just because it sounds good. I would urge you all not turn this event into a means to insult one another. If Horse decides they choose Raptor cube I am sure 99% of those hating on it now will just change direction. Its easy to hate on a blog because there is no face. I used my real name here and I know the creator of Raptor cube she is a wonderful and very talented person and she cared enough to create something to commemorate the coming of this amazing band. Let's all enjoy the show and stop advocating hate and a lack of understanding and intellect.

aaaaah..... I smell the whiff of sour grapes. Raptor Cube is an intelligent and original design - it isn't obvious - I mean, Horse the Band and all you other guys can do is do horses. Even the cook is better. It also seems that the other designers either don't have friends, or their friends think their designs are crap. Either way.... at least they have your undying loyalty for what it is worth. Losers tend to flock together.

Re:"
3d glasses dont look like that, do yourself a favour and go to a 3d movie sometime... They look almost as kiff as raptor cube! Win by popular demand :D

Are you fucking retarded?
Google is your friend so use it!
Old school 3d GLASSES DO look like that!
Just because you watched AVATAR doesn't make you a 3D expert!
This vibe is so flawed. They should just let the band decide because honestly the only shirts I would buy and wear are 3D horse and snake choke. . .I don't care if raptor cude wins because I won't wear that shirt, if the guy has so many freinds or a proxy server handy to get all those votes then thats cool for him and he can win this competition but I doubt that shirt would sell. And @ Somebody on March 9th 2010, 5:29pm would you rather he put real 3D glasses on a real horse and took a photo for the shirt design? The rubiks cubes in raptor cube aren't perfect either, please explain how you get an "R", "S" and "E" out of 9 squares? But I'm not going to say it's stupid because of that. I just don't like the design regardless of whether those mistakes were there or not

Hopefully whoever decides on official Horse Merchandise will come in at a later stage and make a better choice than whoever can persuade their friends the most . DOWN WITH POPULARITY CONTEST

Yeah Raptor-Cube isn't that great!! The others are far better... Strange that it went from like 2% to suddenly being in the lead overnight.
Jizzmaster - 14 years ago
Haha!
Well, said... Most voters are usually friends of the person that did the design.
Anyway, well done to everyone who got to the finals.
