Design new shirt for DEF CON and YEC

This year we're trying something new and making one shirt design for both events! This shirt design will be debuted in person at DEF CON 2025 in Las Vegas, and will later on be promoted online as part of the Year End Campaign (YEC) for supporters who make a donation.

Considerations:

  • A design general enough that it can work for the YEC and DEF CON without being too specific to either audience
  • Timeline: shirts printed and delivered to LV in time for DEF CON. We're still waiting on shipping logistics but if it's similar to last year, they will need to be delivered last week of July/beginning of the first week of August, which means probably having a final design ready for the vendor by beginning of July to be safe
  • Minimal colorways to reduce printing costs

Inspiration:

  • Feel free to drop any visual inspo (doesn't need to be shirt specific) in this figma file: DEF CON 33 (let me know if you need access to this file)
  • I know we'll be brainstorming together in our meeting, but if anyone has ideas in general (phrases, concepts, etc) they want to document feel free to just drop it in this ticket!
