Now Available at Rockstar Warehouse: The Long-Sleeve Colors and Rolling Tees

Posted on August 21 2012, 6:01pm | Author: R* W | Filed Under: Rockstar

Rounding out this season's collection of new tees at the Rockstar Warehouse are two new long-sleeve joints perfect for those transitional months: the bright, white Colors design, and the heavy, black edition of the Rolling style. Read on for more apparel details...

 

Bright and white with a crisp, classic athletic feel - each color that spells out Rockstar Games down the left arm of this long-sleeve tee pays homage to Rockstar Studios.
 
Constructed from 100% cotton, the clean styling of the white long-sleeve Rockstar Colors Tee also features a blue Rockstar Games logo on the chest.
 

The long-sleeve, heavyweight edition of the lighter Rolling raglan 3/4 baseball tee we released earlier this summer.

Inspired by the heady rock & roll vibes of the 70s, this one is a bit more Black Sabbath than Creedence Clearwater Revival.
 

Rockstar Desktops Collection: Splash Series

Posted on August 15 2012, 11:05am | Author: R* G | Filed Under: Rockstar

Offering some refreshing respite from the dog days of August, our latest in the collection of Rockstar digital designs to adorn your desktop, mobile device, social media backgrounds and avatars is the Splash series.

Style 1 above is a selection of colorways of the Rockstar logo impacting upon the surface of a dark pool (like so many Adrenaline Junkies); whereas Style 2 submerges in silver and gold. There is much more inspirational profundity to offer about the symbolism of water as it relates to the human condition - but it's just too damn hot for all that.

Catch Rockstar Soundtrack Alumni Live in Concert

Posted on August 10 2012, 11:13am | Author: R* W | Filed Under: Rockstar, Music

Especially for all Rockstar fans who've been turned on to new (or classic) artists in the soundtracks to our games throughout the years, and who'd love to get the word on when some of these acts are hitting your local stages, we present the Rockstar Soundtrack Alumni concert calendar -  a selection of notable artists who've appeared in our games and where you can catch them locally over the coming month.

Rockstar Desktops: "MACHINE"

Posted on July 30 2012, 1:12pm | Author: R* A | Filed Under: Rockstar



Originally seen as one of our brand new summer collection Rockstar tees released to the Warehouse recently, you can now download the original "MACHINE" art in digital form, including high-res desktop formats to scrutinize all of its detail.

As described by the Rockstar art team, "At the bottom left of the Machine, a child plays the Wurlitzer, music flowing all through the elaborate mechanisms. At the opposite end of the star formation, musical notes are played in concert by robot hands on a keyboard of cats. The hands squeeze the cats and the musical notes from the little girl’s Wurlitzer are translated into the beautiful sound of cat yelps. The Machine is powered by a living dinosaur skeleton on a treadmill and operated by men at the top, one of whom is being flogged for insubordination."

Get it now at www.rockstargames.com/downloads in a variety of color options and a wide range of sizes for desktops, backgrounds, Facebook covers, avatars, and icons.

Get the Rockstar Machine & Rockstar Rolling Tees at the Warehouse

Posted on July 16 2012, 2:15pm | Author: R* W | Filed Under: Rockstar

Just added to the Rockstar Warehouse for sale are two brand new designs in the Rockstar tee collection - first seen earlier this week over at our newly launched Rockstar Instagram photo feed (look for the other two styles shown there to launch soon as well).

Browse the Rockstar Apparel collection at the Warehouse and check out high-detail on these two new Rockstar originals fashioned from 100% breathable cotton perfect to style up your summer wardrobe. Grab 'em while they last or before your size sells out - more detail below...


In soft, light blue, there lies the "Rockstar Machine", a bizarre and surreal musical instrument, carefully and painstakingly constructed from vintage clip art. 
 
At the bottom left of the Machine, a child plays the Wurlitzer, music flowing all through the elaborate mechanisms. At the opposite end of the star formation, musical notes are played in concert by robot hands on a keyboard of cats. The hands squeeze the cats and the musical notes from the little girl’s Wurlitzer are translated into the beautiful sound of cat yelps. The Machine is powered by a living dinosaur skeleton on a treadmill and operated by men at the top, one of whom is being flogged for insubordination. 
 

Evocative of the highest of times - this take on the traditional baseball raglan is a unisex-style, soft, and lightweight Lake Blue / Navy tee.

It features ¾ sleeves and a vivid Rockstar Games logo inspired by funk hitting wah-wah guitars, stinging brassy soul and euphoric rock & roll.
 
Look for more designs in the Rockstar tee collection coming later this summer.
