This band has the potential to be one of the greats of our generation. Inspired by another great band, this t-shirt is simple and classic. Much like KoL’s music. It is a shirt anyone can wear, but only those of us who are huge fans will understand what the combination of those four names really means.

love love looove this design!..very simple but speaks volumes about what makes this band so great: the brilliant minds and talent of Caleb, Matthew, Nathan, and Jared.
best of luck! =)
yea the original i made looked pretty legit, the colors were vibrant and everything. maybe it was too high of a resolution and so it downgraded. oh well the main concept is there though. thanks you two! :]
Thanks Studio! I wanted something that was practical yet made a statement. Also something that wouldn’t be dated after a while.
yeah simple helvetica+color combination.but as you mentioned fans will recognize it.but maybe you can add a little reminder of kol.maybe a little logo on back or bottom side of the tee.but its just my opinion.voted tho +1 ;)
trige! Thats exactly what I was thinking. Thanks for reassuring me its a good idea. However, I don’t think I can edit it once its been submitted.
Thanks for your vote as well adam.
Nice stuff! I actually printed a shirt like this on my own featuring the names of members of another band. I love how you actually have to be a fan to even have the slightest idea of what it represents :P! Voted.

- COME ON. This is a rip, at least, give some CREDIT to the original creators, Experimental Jetset.
- From their site: “We designed the ‘John & Paul & Ringo & George’ shirt in 2001, for Japanese t-shirt label 2K/Gingham. Around that time, a lot of the prints we designed for 2K/Gingham were about the subject of t-shirt prints itself. We have always been interested in the concept of ‘self-referentiality’: the idea of graphic design that refers to itself, to its own context, or to the medium as a whole.”

Yeah I’m with Mikor. It’s a stretch even if it’s intention is a homage, with no credit or subtle mention of Experimental Jetset, I can’t vote for this nor can I recommend anyone else does.
Like I told Mikor. I researched this design and a lot of people continue to use that shirt as inspiration for other shirts. The link above doesn’t condone or condemn those who are inspired to create their own t-shirt using it as inspiration. I had no idea where the design originated from, which is why I didn’t give credit to anyone except to the band that inspired it.
My fault for not being specific that the band implied in the description is referencing the Beatles.
However, I still stand by my concept to put this band on a t-shirt.
To be honest with you as well, a lot of people do not even know what shirt it is referencing, they just like it.
I guess a good shirt is a controversial one.
This shirt is a total rip off. My sister has the same shirt for Fall out boy.
Rip off!!!!!!
Here is what I posted on the forum in case you all want to read it:
The concept: An homage to the Beatles, I consider these guys to be one of the most important bands of our generation. However, let me be clear, no one will ever touch the importance of the Beatles.
The Statement: I want to keep it simple. A lot of the other artists take a different approach. Some take a literal approach to the name, some use recent and not so recent photos and alter them, some used the music to inspire them. I wanted mine to say something different than the rest. While still using a classic design. I have been a long time fan of this band and many fans know that each person as individuals is essential to the success of the band as a whole. That goes with any band, not just Kings of Leon.
So, for your consideration, a simple design, a complex meaning, and an inspired tee that goes beneath the surface of image, and busy design, and just presents Kings of Leon as they really are. Caleb& Matthew& Nathan & Jared.
ahhh yes, homage to The Beatles ;) I actually have a shirt with the classic John&Paul& George& Ringo on it! So this was a fun choice!
Thank you for the comment on my design and vote! +1 to you as well!
Glad you could tell I was a true fan of the boys, I feel you must be too!
What a fantastic design. It’s very simple, is one for the fans and people who don’t like wearing “band” t-shirts (ie with photos) will like it too.
You know you got my vote…
I looove it… Good luck!!!
I want to get this right now!!!
Molly :D
I really like that, but not for Kol band gear, its too designed for their sound. +
Thanks for your comment dude!
Neat and Simple. It’s all about how you personally interpret the design I think :)
Nice work!
I am sorry you feel that way. If you want some some hints, send a mass e-mail to the department you work in. Maybe that will boost you up a bit. good luck!

haha – there are shops in Australia that just print this design with whoevers name you want on it – be it friends, family or even a band you like… my point being that why would someone pay you for this when it so commercially viable without the need for hiring artists or partners like DBH?
hey Kings Of leon are in Australia now and my girls brother is their tour manager maybe i should just suggest this idea to them…
that’s probably why part of me likes you – the idea is good and any member of the band could just walk into a shop and get one made up yet it would have taken you no time to serve as the middle man… if someone is gonna get paid why not you?
good for you if you win, good for someone else if you don’t:)
You shouldn’t win tickets, 1,750$ and autographs for writing names on a tshirt and especially for an idea that doesn’t belong to you!!!!!!!!!!
awesome work…..VOTED////
can u plz hav a look at my Design named NATURE LOVER",
Vote is appreciated very much :)
