I personally like the one at the top, you know the big circle with Problogger in bubble letters. Good luck to all of those people who are contributing to the T-shirt contest. I have no artistic ability at all so there will be no contribution from me for this contest.
I have been reading for about two months. What a really good blog this is! I have used some if not all of your advice. The first thing I do in the morning is read this blog. My blog is a combo of Darren’s, Slashdot’s and ilounge.com.
Really glad there is a resource out there like this, thanks Darren!

I like 12, 13, and 14, but would want them to be in the same typeface as your masthead… and some other ideas for tag lines below them might be:
“Google’s sending my kid to college”
“Google pays my rent”
“Click the damn ads already!!!”
“Show some love: click the ads”
(And anyone is welcome to use those. We’ll just call it a Creative Commons share alike thing, m’kay?)

I like the design 9, which looks like your pagedesign.
And of course 13-15 which give you even more possibilities as Andy points out above.

I can’t see any of them, as at 10.15am GMT. I presume Flickr or some other service is down.

I also cannot see any of them, also presuming the service hosting them is down, I’ll be back later to see and get an idea before I submit my own.

23 is the real deal.

I also like 23 and 9 both of those styles are similar to this blogs. Also if I do buy this shirt most of my motivation to do so, would be to brag about being a problogger. I think most people would want to ask a lot of questions if they saw someone wearing this shirt.

Numbers 27, 23 and 9

22 is very exceptional IMHO. I’ve been a designer for over 5 years if that counts towards my opinion weight. :D

Oops I meant 23. I didn’t realize the numbers are associated with the design above it. *lol*

I think the two shown under 22 are the most pro-looking.

#15 made me laugh but if I were to buy a t-shirt, I’d buy #11 or a version of #9 (this one’s a little more cute).

Numbers 15, 23, and 28 would work best as T-shirts, I think. They look less amateurish than some of the other ones. I think my favorite is 15.

Actually, that was very ingenius of #23 to use a blank T-shirt to show us how it would look … *clap,clap* … I like the one on the left with the p-r-o in your colors …(not the one on the right) … it matches the website colors, just like #9 does
#25 is also simple, and can probably come up with a line of T-shirt slogans … ‘tell your boss to blog off..’ ‘tell your client blog off’ … tell your wife and kids to blog off..’ … !
#16 probably would work better as a bumber sticker.
HART

bumber? I meant ‘bumper’ … you really need a PREVIEW option here!

Would it be inappropriate for me to ask what fonts are used in the ProBlogger logo? As an obsessive font collector, I don’t relish the thought of wading through my thousands of fonts to find the correct one(s)!
