You kids know how this works. Submit your spoke card designs to this thread. Debate, cheer, cajole, and threaten your fellow spoke card entry participants. Then we vote, make spoke cards, put them on our bikes, and I know who to buddy lock to when I'm out at the bars for the next year.

Graphics in several formats can be found here: www.point83.com/graphics/

Last year's thread was here: http://point83.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=7854
The voting thread was here: http://point83.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=7912

Or you can search.

DEADLINE IS SUNDAY, JANUARY 23.

Go! Create! DESTROY!

I have decided the deadline should be Sunday, January 23rd. That will give me a few days to get these printed and ready to go before the first Greenlake Midnight Race of the year.

I'm conflicted between making serious ones, or ones that are funny but no one would want to put in a wheel.

Inverting colors and gluing two images together = spoke card?
I'm really looking forward to a Spring Break card from TFitz.

More bucket fill and glue! This would probably look better if I knew how to scale layers properly.

This is my attempt at drawing a bike with a beard. I'm not sure what I find more amusing: the square wheel or the shlong-like saddle. Someone with a modicum of artistic talent (not me): feel free to run with this concept.

black-and-white is cheaper. but maybe it should be colorized? plus: hipster vertical format; suitable for use for inviting people to the ride.

xcf or psd if you want to improve it.

Shouldn't the minimalist inside you be a picture of some douchebag with a macbook superimposed on a porn still?

I haven't ridden with you guys in awhile, since the cracked ribs (3 months-ish). I'm ready to get back out and ride them bikes and drink them beers. I was trolling the boards and saw this thread. I'm a sucker for spoke cards so here ya go:

Langston, if nothing else that should end up on the wall at Beth's Cafe.

Where's tehschkott's submissions to this years spoke card design? He always had some tasty ones. I do like Jayone's... Only cause it's pretty hipster looking. make that botle lok more like a Rainer bottle. A Rainer "R" where it says "Ride Bikes"... just a thought. I have no skills on the computer, therefore i wont make a spoke card. Also, i fucking hate crayons.

it's my understanding the hipster set has moved away from super loud neons. of course, I am not hip enough to know what they've moved on to. Metal-industrial dudes and dreadlocks and carharts seem to be doing pretty well now, though. Paging Jeff, paging Jeff.

Actually, this gives me a stupid spoke card idea. Awesome!

I'm not submitting this year. If someone wants to resubmit my old entries from the past three years, go for it. Frankly I think they're pretty great, but I would.

the one Jayone posted last year of Ronald McDonald puking rainbows has been my phone background for most of the year. Great image. That and the one I stole from Harper Fairey.

It's 530 and I'm drunk at the Redwood on a Saturday.

I can't start making the cards until Wednesday after work. So we'll start voting Tuesday morning and go until Wednesday around 5pm. Deal?

Deal. Cut it off at 5pm exactly for consistency, and to give yourself time to tally votes and determine the winner.

What is the voting process? Do we voice our opinions on the forums, or directly to you?
