    Design our Annual T-Shirt, all proceeds will benefit Ronald McDonald House Charities of Northeast Ohio.

    We need your help to design this year’s ICC Annual Conference Shirts. We have a few theme ideas for the Annual Conference that will be held in Cleveland, OH, in October.

    We are looking for designs and tag lines based on the items Cleveland is famous for or if you have a better theme/tag line, show us! Please include our 10th Anniversary LOGO in the design.

    -Rock N' Roll

    -The Christmas Story House

    -Arts & Culture

    -Industrial Hub

    Feel free to Google, there are many "What is Cleveland known for" ideas.

    Please note the folder titled Anniversary Logo Background means the logo itself has a colored background and is suitable for using over multiple colors or darker colors, the folder titled Anniversary Logo Main has a transparent background, which means the substrate will show through.

    T-Shirts should be no more than 3-4 colors including the shirt color. Preferably the design should work on multiple shirt colors.

    Deadline for design submittal is July 15, 2025. Please submit all design ideas below.
