Nessa's Emerald Nuzlocke Mini-Contest! RESULTS

NESSA'S EMERALD NUZLOCKE MINI-CONTEST: DESIGN A BAND SHIRT

EDIT; RESULTS HAVE BEEN POSTED! CHECK THEM OUT HERE:  T-shirt mini contest results!Finally!
I'm really sorry for all of you who have been waiting for this, the contestants and contributors, for taking so long with such a small task. It kept slipping my mind with all the other things I'm supposed to do occupying my mind.
Overall I was very satisfied with the outcome of this contest. I got a total of 12 entries, which is pretty well for a small and kinda specific contest like this. So thank you very much to everyone who entered! The winner will, as promised, be featured in that one thing I have been talking about for a while now, and I will be happy to do so because it is a really good design that fits the band. 
The task of choosing the winning entries would've been more difficult without :iconky-nim:'s help. Thank you, once again, for helping with the judging!
The judging was based on a score system that in turn was based on the main judging criteria stated in the contest rules; Logo design (30 points of the total), overall design (30 points of the total), creat

EDIT; Contest is now closed! Thank you very much for entering! We will try to get the results in soon!

I'm planning to start working on the mysterious thing I mentioned ages ago (the thing that I needed cameos for) and I started to think how nice it would be if my Nuzlocke gijinka team band had an official band shirt. Then I remembered how people have said that it would be nice if there was another contest and maybe even something that didn't require drawing skills. I thought I could as well make this another, smaller contest with these qualities. I could've done this myself but I felt like this would make a nice contest. I feel like you guys might have a lot of good ideas.

TASK INFO

Design an official shirt for the Nuzocke team band. This involves creating a design for:
a)the band logo (the name of the band, given below)
b)a design for t-shirt/hoodie/tank top/you name it that involves at least the said logo.

NOTE! You don't need to create a SHIRT design, just something to be printed on the fabric. But if you feel like it is necessary to tweak the default t-shirt/hoodie/etc. You can do so but t is not compulsory. However, if you decide to do this make sure that you also present the design on a regular black t-shirt.

The important data is the following:

The band is:  
The name of the band is Valkhirom (the name origin will be revealed later)
The genre of the band is (symphonic death) metal.

MINIMUM REQUIREMENTS FOR AN ENTRY

The entry should contain at least an image of a black t-shirt with the logo/design on the front (both sides if the design is double sided). (Black because that is the default band shirt colour.)

The shirt design has to involve at least the logo of the band.

Only images are allowed.

OTHER

The entry can be traditional or digital.

The design can include both sides of the shirt.

The size of the print is up to you.

The entry may contain more merchandise than just a t-shirt (hoodie, tank top, guitar pick, messenger bag etc.) if you want to see/show that the design works on other items.

The entry may present other colour variations of the shirt (the basic design has to be the same even if used on several items; a different design on a t-shirt and a hoodie isn't allowed but it is allowed to make a t-shirt double sided but only use the fron for the hoodie and just the logo for something smaller like a guitar pick if you're up for it).

The entry can be done on the provided template or you can make your own. You can also make a character wear the shirt and present the design that way.

You can draw or photomanipulate or use another form of visual media to create your entry.

You may use imagery from my comic/Nuzlocke related art for the shirt.

You may use stock images.

You may not use copyrighted material/fonts already used in band logos.

You may use text in your design but song lyrics are discouraged.

You may only enter once.

WHAT WILL BE JUDGED

DESIGN OF THE LOGO

OVERALL DESIGN

How well does the overall design represent the band? How well does it fit the shirt (/other merch)?

ORIGINALITY

Is a plus here as well. Direct copies from existing shirts/parodies won't score very high.

EXECUTION

Even though the design is the most important thing here you probably want to make sure that you present your design and execute it in the best way. The design and execution go hand in hand.
