To celebrate our 10th anniversary, we are inviting everyone to draw the number 10! After collecting the best entries, we plan to incorporate them back into our logo for this year and then perhaps even create some limited edition artifacts for the community.
Winner take all, no holds barred. May the best designer win.

@ Thanks ihoff, I like your round !0
@ I really like the one by keady sent at 2.06 pm, but the areas and spaces may have to be thicker to survive reducing to logo size.

Now to typophile, new to type battles, ... just new.

First type battle, also new to typophile. I obviously went for a childish feel... Afterall, what ten year old doesn't look a little sloppy every once in a while? I feel that a cleaner idea will hit me any day now... Partially inspired by keady and davM and Jan.

It's my first Type Battle, so be kind and forgive this rough sketch. I've seen many great submissions so far, so I'm a little embarrassed. :)
Cheers,

Ok so I'm really new to the whole font scene, so the first one I just mussed around with some brush strokes and the 2nd one I made sorta fun, its a face made from the bubble letter T and 10 inside of it.
2nd variation
