T-Shirt Design Contest: WeLcome to the FinaL Five
June 21st, 2009But first of aLL, I wouLd like to congratuLate our 1st runner up finaList Drew FansLer for his design. After 5-6 rounds of votes, the KoGi team has decided to go w/ his design for our first round of printing!

It’s universaLLy cooL, night-friendLy and pretty much captures the late-night crowd at pLaces like The Brig and 4100 Bar to a T.
ONWARDS PARA VOTO where winner takes aLL: $200 + Cut-in-Line Pass good for 1 month for a dude and 3 friends.
ArLene Ibañez

Natasha and Eddie particuLarLy liked this one. They thought it was reaLLy cute and perfect for the summer barbecue season. If you concur, vote for ArLene!
SaLLy Hwang
This was actuaLLy one of my particuLar favorites. It’s a bit gritty and rough around the edges — just how we roLL! If you’d aLso like to roLL this way, vote SaLLy, por favor.
Vincent ApostaL

It’s cLean, cLever and simpLe. I like the idea of the fLame in lieu of the heart and just a nice, overaLL basic tee for those who don’t want anything particuLarLy fancy. I think it makes for a friendLy summer shirt and wouLd look most especiaLLy nice on a tank. Agreed? Then save your vote for Vincent.
Reese Panganiban


And in case you weren’t sure, YES, that is Chef Roy in the driver’s seat! I love how this thing is hand drawn so that you can see aLL the different kinds of personaLities waiting in line for a taco. And the line extends on the back, too! I thought that was way awesome. You, too? Then give Reese your vote!
ALbert Sohn

This just makes for an absoLuteLy beautifuL shirt. Just the textures and choice of coLors — everytime I look at it I notice something new and different. This is the kind of shirt that never goes outta styLe and is so quintessentiaLLy LA. Find this design deLectabLy dericious? Then make sure to cLick on ALbert’s name when it comes to throwing in your vote.
Speaking of voting…
BTW — you’ve got untiL 11:59PM Pacific Standard Time this WEDNESDAY to vote, cuz that’s when I’m coming in to coLLect. Any votes made after 11:59PM Wednesday night wiLL not be counted. Happy voting, dudes!
Love and tacos,
Aliiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiice
