The Annals of Peachtree History

I’m happy to say that in a recent online poll by the AJC, the t-shirt I designed for the Peachtree Road Race in 2002 was voted the All-Time Favorite. I don’t get anything for it, just a temporarily swollen ego. Next week I can go back to questioning myself daily.

I’ve entered the design contest 4 more times since my design was chosen in 2002 and haven’t gotten lucky again. So this was a nice surprise.

“The Peachtree Road Race is a renowed event and for participants the T-shirt is a coveted prize that is worn with pride. The personality of the event is a collection of all those involved and is reflected in the T-shirt designs. The designs are often bold and powerful, energetic and straightforward. They evoke feelings of speed and pulse with excitement. It is clear that the artists wish to communicate with and relate to the race participants.”
