Design Requirements

The Age theme for this year’s Mysterium is Todelmer. You are encouraged to implement elements of that Age into your design.

Bonus points if you can work something about the host city (Boston, MA) into your design.

Front Logo / Pocket Logo

The shirt front logo should be a simple, easily recognized design that incorporates the falling man graphic. It will be used on the front of the Mysterium t-shirt, and certain memorabilia.

  • One color, grayscale – keep in mind that this will be either black or white on a colored background (depending on the chosen shirt color we may invert your design), and thus we cannot guarantee the accuracy of halftone reproduction. Do not use a gradient.
  • Must use the Falling Man logo – .jpg, .eps, .tif, and .svg versions are available at http://www.mysterium.net/logo/
  • May contain Location and Date
  • May contain word “Mysterium”
  • Print size should be no less than 8” x 8”

The FRONT LOGO may alternately be substituted with a maximum 3” x 3” POCKET LOGO with the same requirements listed above.

Back Logo

The shirt back logo is more detailed than the front logo, and often visually represents the location Mysterium is being held. It will also appear on the cover of the Mysterium Convention Book.

  • Up to four colors – these may contain halftones/shading, but no color blending/gradients
  • May use Falling Man logo
  • May contain Location and Date
  • May contain word “Mysterium”
  • Print size no less than 9” x 12”
