What is the gameplan Catahoula? Thanks for getting that larger yellow koozie blank image on the thread.
You think you can work your magic on a 2 or 3-color koozie design?
PS: I have no art skills and do not work for LSU Alumni Association in Houston, just forwarded over an e-mail I got and thought TD Fark board maybe with their graphic skills can make something happen for these folks

I put the larger images out there so others can play with it. I have a design I'll send them. There are other people here who are much more talented than me, so it will be interesting to see if they come up with some ideas.
I also believe you have opened up a can of worms for us to play with.
Fasten your seatbelt...Let's have some fun with this!

I'm assuming these tickets are to an event in houston. I think I'm the only houston area farker so I would be happy to collect these tickets by default.

On a serious note. Is there any specific logo or lettering need on this image?

Maybe integrate this basic logo from their website I linked on the original post.
Logo may be in PDF vector based format from this newsletter showing on the Alumni website

Also, if anyone wants to donate the winning tickets to tiger713 for the Houston area event I will gladly represent TD.com if xrockfordf150x is not available

A couple of random 1 or 2 color designs I came up with. I thought it would be a cool concept for a crawfish boil koozie.
And Team logos
These are all in png format so the background is transparent.

nice work, you got a creative crawfish design that is the 1st step to the big prize...
maybe possibly they may want to integrate some other text or the main LSU Houston Alumni logo

I'll try to integrate that logo. I had started those designs before I saw your post. The only problem I can foresee is that the logo is purple and gold. And if it is placed on a purple or gold koozie, one of the colors will blend in. I.E. the purple and gold would have to be reversed (purple changed to gold and vise versa) pending on the color koozie. I'll see if I can work some magic though.
PS I'm excited about this challenge b/c I haven't had real crawfish since my wife and I moved to houston from baton rouge.

Would it be possible to put a designed image on one side of the koozie and the logo on the other side. That way you have logo representation without obstructing the designed image, and the koozie would then have a full 3-d design.

in the design contest instructions the Admin person specified they preferred the design to be only on one side not both but you do whatever works for you.
I looked on a random koozie supplier website and one of the basic koozies it had imprint area as follows
1 Side @ 3"w x 3"h

One side print on a koozie is more economical. The logo for the LSU alum might be too detailed though to print in correlation to a designed image since the logo has a lot of detail to it (fine print and a detailed tiger). We can make it look real nice on photoshop but the print quality on the finished product might be a little rough with all that detail to the logo. Putting all the images on one side will distort the quality of the logo and picture.
Maybe if you would perfer we can use a designed picture and maybe include in plain font "LSU ALUMNI HOUSTON".

I just want to make it clear that I have no decision making towards this design contest, I am just trying to be a middle man and relay information to the one and only TD.com "fark" board & LSU Alumni Houston Admin person who randomly e-mailed me cause I am on their contact list!
