FlashDen Merchandise, a Competition, and a Great Cause

By popular demand we’ve opened up a store to sell FlashDen shirts, mugs, mouse pads, and a bunch of other fun stuff. You can check it out here. We already have several great shirt designs, but we want more! That's why we're currently running a competition for the best t-shirt design. 100% of FlashDen’s proceeds from the store will go to the Australian Red Cross Bushfire Appeal. For those of you who don’t know, due to a record-breaking heatwave, Victoria Australia has recently been plagued with fires, killing hundreds and destroying thousands of homes. This is a great cause so even if you don't want a shirt, please consider contributing.

So if you're curious enough, and are in need of a fantastic template for your company or project, be sure to look over our "Best of the Best" collection, and pick one up!
