The new Primal Carnage website is now online, alongside our Official Merch Store!
We will be posting larger official announcements relating to the Primal Carnage franchise on the website, which is much more streamlined now (along with being pretty snazzy looking).
Major news relating to the PlayStation version of PCE will be forthcoming on the official website in future, so keep an eye out if you're interested!
We've been working on both the site upgrade and official store for a long time now (in-between everything else!) and have enlisted a few community artists to create our initial collection of official Primal Carnage swag. There are posters, T-shirts, hats, mugs and more in-store...
Now, IT'S YOUR TURN!
Official Merch Design Contest
It's been a while since we last had an art competition, and this is as good a time as any!
We're looking for cool / fun / epic new designs that we can use on the Official Primal Carnage Store.
If you're interested, read on for instructions on creating designs and how to get involved!
HOW TO ENTER
- Post your completed artwork to the Art Contest channel on the official Discord server along with the hashtag #contest-submissions
- A download link to a high quality version of the artwork in your post would be helpful too!
- After posting your submission, one of the moderators will shortly add it to the artwork collection for the developers to judge.
- Your entry must be submitted before 11:59PM UTC on July 1st 2022.
TECHNICAL ART GUIDELINES
General Requirements
All designs MUST follow these three rules or will not be suitable for use:
- Images must be at least 300 DPI
- Images must be minimum 2000x2000 resolution
- Avoid semi-transparent elements on designs for anything other than T-shirts
We want designs that will work well on any of the following item types:
- Posters
- T-Shirts / Tank Tops
- Stickers
- Mugs
- Hats
- Face Masks
- Mouse Mats
If your finished artwork adheres to the technical requirements and fits into one of these categories, it will be officially considered. We don't have a set theme for you other than Primal Carnage, so go nuts!
You can specify which item type in particular you have created your design for when submitting your artwork if you like. We will take this into consideration when deciding the product lines it will be available for in-store.
T-Shirts:
- Shirt designs can only be printed on the front side
- Design printing is primarily limited to a rectangular space on the upper two thirds of the product
- Shirts may have the official Primal Carnage logo(s) added to them if accepted
Hats:
- All hats use embroidery instead of direct printing, so you must work with a restricted palette when designing for a snapback or baseball cap.
- Please use the colours listed in the image above for best results. Up to 6 different shades max.
- Design placement on hats is limited to the front area, as seen in the above image.
Mugs:
- Designs that are "sticker-like" may be repeated on both sides of the cup or centered.
- All ceramic mugs have a white base colour, so take this into account when creating designs specifically for use on a mug.
- You can have a design with no transparency to fill the print area, however the interior and edges will still have the white base colour.
Stickers:
- Stickers require a clean outline with an alpha channel, PNG files are acceptable so long as the transparent areas are 100% empty
OFFICIAL CONTEST RULES
- Limit of three entries, per person.
- Be respectful to all other members of the community and their entries.
- Entry must only contain original work- do not steal another person's hard efforts.
- You are allowed to collaborate / work in teams of up to 3 people maximum.

GOOD LUCK!
You can post your progress, get critiques and advice in the Art Contest channel of the official Discord. This community has some really talented people in it, we've seen incredibly creative concepts for in-game items in the past and are looking forward to what you come up with for actual official merch!
We'll be showcasing all the designs made for the contest once it has concluded, as well as spotlighting honorable mentions which didn't quite make it to the top (but might still be added to the store later).
You have just under a month to show us what you can do. Have fun!
In case you missed it, Jurassic June is entering into high gear!
Summer Warmup, Part Two is now live with the Meltdown Event and MORE coming soon.
Thanks for playing everyone!
