Save Polaroid T-Shirt Entry

I finally got around to entering the Save Polaroid t-shirt contest that I mentioned a few weeks ago. Save Polaroid will be selecting finalists and readers will be able to vote for their favorites. I can’t wait to see what other designers came up with…

Design on t-shirt template from Save Polaroid.

As I thought about Polaroids, the main thing that came to mind with the iconic nature of the print itself. So I played off that and created a type treatment with a Polaroid print as the “o.” 

Close up of the type treatment.

The letter designs take their proportions directly from the print itself. The stroke is based on the width of the sides and top of the Polaroid print. And the width of the “C” and “N” is equal to the width of the print.

I would wear that! It celebrates the past, even if there is no future.

Great concept! My only critique is that the bases of the C's should be the height of the bottom part of the frame of a Poloroid. That way the O and C's have a similar style. That would be what would separate that font from any other ultra thin stroked modern font. I like it though!
