The new chinaSMACK t-shirt, “Certified By Netizens”, is finally ready…and a limited edition is now available for order!
Details…
This t-shirt was designed for our one year anniversary t-shirt design contest by chinaSMACK reader Paul Guo, a native Chinese graduate art student. Here is his explanation for his design:
Most websites based on Mainland China often have the ICP registered number and red shield badge at the bottom of their page, e.g. “沪ICP备05000001号” (registered #05000001 by ICP of Shanghai) and “京ICP证080274号” (certified #080274 by ICP of Beijing). They are required to have the ICP license or they will be blocked in Mainland China.
To mock Chinese government-controlled internet and to “represent” Chinese netizens, I replaced the original red shield badge with Jiong badge, “沪ICP备/京ICP证” with “网民证”, “numbers号” with “chinaSMACK号”. So it’s something like “#chinaSMACK certified by Netizens”…
This limited edition t-shirt is black, features Paul’s design on the front and several additional tasteful details including a two small “chinaSMACK” logos, printed in white slightly below the back collar and on the right sleeve:
These t-shirts are being produced by chinaSMACK reader ML.lab and are of much higher quality compared to the previous t-shirts from American Apparel (no longer available). Each t-shirt is high quality weaved cotton (similar to piqué/piquet), folded, poly-bagged, and shipped to your door. Available sizes are S, M, L, and XL.
