Elfsight is turning 14, and we’re celebrating it with a fun contest! :tada:

Every year, our designers create special birthday T-shirts for the whole team. This time, we’re inviting you to join in and share your ideas!


Your Task


Your mission is simple: Suggest a T-shirt print idea for Elfsight’s 14th birthday!

We’re not looking for a polished design or professional artwork. Think of it more as a moment to share a funny, clever or unexpected T-shirt idea :slightly_smiling_face:


Tips to get started


Not sure where to start? Here are a few simple directions:

  • Just drop a quick idea — even one sentence works.

  • Sketches can help visualize your idea, but they’re totally optional.

  • Meme-style ideas are more than welcome :grinning_face_with_smiling_eyes:


There are no strict rules — just have fun with it!


The Prize :wrapped_gift:


10 winners will get 6 FREE months added to any of their active subscriptions!


Picking the winners :man_judge:


Our team will choose the 10 ideas that stand out the most — creativity and originality matter more than polish.


Deadline :date:


You have 3 weeks to join the fun! The contest closes on June 30, and the winners will be announced shortly after.


Make your mark in Elfsight’s story — maybe your design will be the one we wear on the T-shirts :wink:

here we go, Happy birthday!

T-Shirt Design Idea: ā€œ14 Years of Widgets & Wonderā€

Hey Elfsight team, happy 14th birthday! :tada:

Here’s my concept:

The Design:

Front: A retro arcade-style design with ā€œLEVEL 14 UNLOCKEDā€ in bold pixel-art lettering. Below it, a small elf character (a nod to the Elfsight name) holding up a glowing widget like a trophy.

Back: A ā€œloading barā€ graphic at 14%, filled with tiny icons of Elfsight’s most popular widgets (reviews stars, chat bubble, Instagram feed, forms). Underneath in clean type: ā€œStill loading greatness since 2012.ā€

Color suggestion: Elfsight red and white on a black tee for maximum pop.

Hi Elfsight Community!

First post here, so let me introduce myself.

I’m Will. I teach accountability and responsibility; if they learn French, I’m doing something right… I have 29 years (Going on 30) in the classroom, fluent in over10 languages (even my wife still doesn’t know…), and someone who discovered Elfsight when I needed my site to do things I definitely didn’t have time to build myself. Sound familiar?

That’s actually where this design came from.

Front: You don’t have to build it.
Back: WE ALREADY DID. This phrase is surrounded by 14 translations, one for each of Elfsight’s 14 years, arranged in a radial layout around the center phrase.
Bottom: Elfsight Logo

The languages aren’t random. As a language teacher, I know that when someone sees their language on something, they feel seen. Elfsight’s customers aren’t just English speakers, they’re website owners in Paris, SĆ£o Paulo, Tokyo, Warsaw, and Seoul. The 14 languages represent 14 years of showing up for all of them and are a nod to some of the students who have graced my classroom, the teachers who have shown up for them, and hopefully the employees at Elfsight who have contributed to the creation of the product. If didn’t add your language, please don’t feel left-out. Think of it as an opportunity to learn a new one and a chance to make a new friend :wink:

The front says what every Elfsight customer has ever felt.
The back celebrates why that matters.

Happy anniversary, Elfsight. Thanks for building it so we didn’t have to.

Will

P.S. Sorry for repost…didn’t mean to respond to original Max Post…still learning. #Teacherfoul If you want to check out my stuff and how I am using the widgets, it’s here. Thanks for reading!

Okay based on the last team building event that you had and the secret behind the elfsight logo (i.e., the chickens), I have created some t-shirt prints that you may like :wink:

Option 1:

Front:

14 YEARS
3 MILLION CUSTOMERS
93 AWESOME WIDGETS
and we’re just getting started.

Back:

I helped build this :smiley: :down_arrow: :partying_face:

{Elfsight Logo]

Option 2

Front:

Elfsight Version 14.0

āœ“ 3,000,000 customers
āœ“ 93 awesome widgets
āœ“ Countless cups of coffee

Back:

Making life easier, one widget at a time.

Hello there, happy birthday Elfsight!
As a French user, I’d suggest a musketeer character aiming at a round target inspired by the Elfsight logo, with a bold ā€œ1 4 Allā€ — and the word ā€œwidgetā€ inserted between the 1 and the 4 as a small typographic callout, like an added word in a design composition. :bullseye:

Happy Birthday!! The big 14!!! The ivory anniversary! Excellent designs suggested already! I’m sure more to come. Here’s mine, starring the Elfsight Elfant!

This is fitting… Elf with bulging eyes (Elfsight) :joy: and the team juggling their tasks… :face_with_hand_over_mouth:

I’m thinking a collarless, looser fitting version of the jerseys from Star Trek TNG. Substitute the Federation insignia with the Elfsight emblem and maybe even retain the colors… red, gold, and blue, signifying different departments or job functions.

This one boldly flows where no design has gone before :wink:

Continuing the discussion from Birthday Contest: 10 Winners, 5 Free Years with Elfsight! :wrapped_gift::

Why this T-shirt design would work -

  1. Instantly understood in 3 seconds.

  2. Appeals to developers, agencies, marketers, and business owners.

  3. Funny without trying too hard.

  4. Highly wearable outside of work.

  5. Directly communicates Elfsight’s value proposition:
    ā€œGet custom-looking functionality without custom development.ā€

  6. Creates an ā€œinside jokeā€ that customers feel part of.

  7. Unique, wearable, and minimalistic with custom brand colors

Hey everyone :waving_hand:
