Tee Design Contest - Results are in!

teefiniOur Tee Shirt design contest is toute fini for 2009. While we didn’t get quite what we were looking for, we’d like to make a few honourable mentions… Maleeka Thaker’s ideas evoked intelligence and insight into our establishment and our people’s mojos, and actually had our phone number on it - something future designers should not fail to note.  Shannon Murphy’s design was highly colourful, extremely creative, and ran the gamut [ did you know 'gamut' is actually a musical term? ] eclipsing our motto “all things musical.”  Oh, and of course Jamie Speck deserves an A for Effort (as does his personal courier, Anne Speck)! Thanks to all who participated, and drop by the shop to see the winning entry!
