- Download and take a look at the Creative Pack, which includes logos and iconography that can be included in the design (not required)

The T-shirt design
Artists must pay attention to the requirements below when creating their design:
- The design should be for the front of the T-shirt only and must be presented using the template only
- The design should not include photographs of the band (or any other copyrighted material)
- Song titles may be included, but lyrics cannot be part of the design
- Artists may choose to include material that can be downloaded in the Creative Pack (available on desktop only)
- All artwork should be original (that is not included in Creative Pack)
- The blank t-shirt itself should be of just one colour but this colour can be of the artist's choosing (i.e. it does not need to be white)
ABOUT COLDPLAY
Coldplay came together as a band in late 1997 when Guy Berryman, Jonny Buckland, Will Champion and Chris Martin met at University College, London.
The band have gone on to become one of the most popular music acts on the planet, selling more than 80 million copies of their seven albums. They’ve also filled their trophy cabinet with almost every major music award there is (including seven Grammys and eight BRITs).
In December 2015, the band released A Head Full Of Dreams, their seventh album, which bursts with energy, colour and big, life-affirming moments. In February 2016, they will headline the prestigious Pepsi Super Bowl 50 Halftime Show in Santa Clara, California.
