nopattern on Oct 06 '03 now this i like, you should have saved it for submission until between oct15 and nov15 for the comp. great design though, 4
|
 |
¥s on Oct 06 '03 well maybe i got a better one up my sleeve for the competetion ;)
|
|
¥s on Oct 06 '03 anyway.. i would like to hear bads and goods about this one
|
|
Bad: It still has to pass ranking to get printed. I want one now :(
|
 |
this is awful! just kidding. i love it. so creative. can't wait to see more.nice!!! again!
|
|
amazing. one of the best i've seen ever.
|
|
brick425 on Oct 06 '03 very nice...but unfortunately it's 5 color...white is still considered a color...but still nice.
|
|
¥s on Oct 06 '03 shit .. forgot about the white. well maybe skip one of the greys and we are back to 4
|
|
Very strong. I definately would've also waited to post this. I would definately buy one. Also, why can't you have 5 colors?? Maybe I missed reading something somewhere. You could always print on a white shirt even though I like the blue shirt better...hmmm, dunno. I guess lose a gray, but then the cover wouldn't look that much differen't maybe try the cover as white? Who knows, I'd take the time to silk screen an extra color, in fact everything looks like it could fit on one screen anyway. Good stuff, I want one :) If this doesn't make it, e-mail me please. If you can find another way to print it cool, I'll buy one from ya if possible, if not, still e-mail me maybe I can help. I really really like this :) and I'm picky.
|
 |
This is great!
5! |
|
Wow!...that's really something else. 5
|
|
Although this is nice there is a legal hassle involved in producing this shirt. I dare say this will not got printed due to copyright issues, (aside from the 5th color) You're better off not submitting this during the competition. There is no way that threadless could legally print and distribute this shirt.
|
|
they might if they ask pantone for permission, after all its positive advertising. Great work on this one! I'd love to buy this as a t-shirt and hooded top...
|
|
Brilliant one! I want one NOW ;)
|
|
liquidgraphix on Oct 07 '03 very cool, i wouldn't doubt it if they end up printing this one...mark my words
|
|
Shit the bed, I love this one!!!!
|
|
This is absolutely fabulous!! WOW!! very nice work. really creative
|
|
dope [.]
|
 |
sweet style. great concept. rock n roll.
|
|
very nice job - three thumbs up - and PRINT
|
 |
that's really really cool.
|
|
Groovalicious.
|
|
"There is no way that threadless could legally print and distribute this shirt."
not true. there are 2 ways. a) this guy works for them in the first place. 2) get pantone's permission. They may not care. don't make bold statements if you don't know the law. Still a great shirt. |
|
i'm confused, isn't it a three colour job. 1 colour being a percentage of the darker colour_?
anyway, a clever idea executed to perfection_ i like. |
 |
yeah fucking cool, in response to tiggus, you cant print a percentage in screenprinting, they all hold as a special so unlike 4 colour process, you cant do black as both greys as well to reduce the colours, each grey has to be a seperate screen.
legal battle, who cares, Che should be rich if he were alive, but i doubt he would be, besides pantone could be renamed as another word to hold more meaning, or just leave the name off, the idea still holds. |
 |
That's great. i have so many designer friend's who would love one.
I'd love to see it with different colour veriation though. |
|
i would be extremely surpised if threadless DIDN'T print this shirt. excellent idea, excellent execution... i wish i thought of it.
|
|
PUMPIN!WE GOT A WINNER,WE GOT A WINNER!
|
|
In response to dark54555: There are legal ways to allow this shirt to get printed. I don't see them as being considered in this venue. Also even if he worked for Pantone that would not allow him full freedom to use their brand in any way that he desired. Even if he designed the Pantone logo in the first place he would need permission to use it in his own portfolio. An often surprising fact to many designers. I made my statement in regards to the situation created by using another company's identity to make a profit on Threadless. You're right, they may not care. However, most companies do. I'll retract my "bold" statements when this gets printed.
All of that aside I still think it's well done. |
|
¥s on Oct 08 '03 Well, i don't work for Pantone and i didn't design their logo either. It was simply put there to make it a little more clear what it. I don't really care if the logo stays on or not.
But if anybody can come up with something else to swap it with, please post :) |
|
this is nice, but quite honestly i wouldnt want to pay to wear any company's name
|
|
i diiig
|
|
ABSOLUTELY BRILLIANT!!!!!
|
|
nice concept!
|
|
great!
|
|
uh does everyone here just lose it for anything with a heart in it? i think it's well-done, but this corny-ass meg ryan heart shit is out of hand. i just wouldn't wear it. good for a middling emo band, maybe.
|
|
i say lose the "pantone" and the type on the swatch book cover. if a person doesn't know what the illustration is of, they don't need the shirt in the first place. if you ARE a designer, then it shows exactly what your love and passion is. excellent design. 5.
|
|
threadless says they only print 4 colors or less but check out 'blandband deluxe'-printed with 6 colors. oh yeah-5/buy
|
|
pure genius
|
|
Probably the best T I've seen so far
|
|
Holy Shit!! I must agree with the 43 people above me, this is an amazing t-shirt This is a MUST print for Threadless - FIVE + BUY |
|
thiTHIS IS A DAMN 6! YOU SHOULDA SAVED THIS FOR THE T-SHIRT COMPETITION!
Reserve mine NOW, This is getting printed, ONE WAY or ANOTHER. |
|
dope ish
|
 |
4twenty3: actually, blandband is five colours (they dropped the dark green). but your point still stands. i think it all depends on whether the jakes like your design.
and judging by the response this tee is getting, they'd be stupid NOT to print it... |
 |
nice
|
|
¥s on Oct 12 '03 thanks for all the good comments, i'm really stunned over the amout of them. |
|
I would hate to see this shirt in the archived section, when it belongs in the printed section!
|
|
very nice work.
|
|
YES. just simply yes.
|
|
Yeah, re-inventing such a cliché subject must mean that the artist did a good job, which you did. 4
|
 |
Excellent.
|
|
puta que pariu!!! vou comprar!!!!
|
|
it´s great I would indeed buy couple of those. great idea & great work!
|
|
the heart theme has become overdone and tiresome.
This however is a fresh new take on it, and quite original, 5! |
|
Sorry mate, I dont actually agree with everybody elses hysteria. For me, when objects are manipulated, it often helps if they are done so within their physical constraints, rather than being over modified to make the idea fit. You should maybe have a look at some of Alan Fletcher's collages, they often hit the nail right on the head with very little modification of the objects. Im not really into design in-jokes either.
|
|
¥s on Oct 13 '03 it was about time someone said they didn't like it and why, it is really helpful and I appreciate it.
thanks mate! |
|
|
Okay, sorry, that last comment was an accident. But yeah, this design is real good as far as recreating a worn cliche and turning it into something real good. I'm don't know very much about the legal shizz, so i'm not going to bother commenting on that, but anyway, this is a real nice one.
|
|
You could easily fix the copyright issue by putting the word "PROCESS" or "PROCESS CHIPS" or "PROCESS COATED" or something like that. That way it's not pantone but people still get the point. This shirt seems to be a designer's wet dream. Good job. I'd wear it to work :) I don't know about public in general. Maybe, depends on where I am.
|
|
not THAT amazing......way to designer specific for me.....but would wear it at work or something, but is tight and finished.
|
|
¥s on Oct 19 '03 Thanks good comments and votes, they will be printed soon.
|
|
¥s on Oct 19 '03 hmm.. ment to say.. they will print it soon
|
|
I work at an offset printer's, and I would be pretty embarassed to wear a damn Pantone Matching chart at work or anywhere : ) it would be so out of context, so uncool... IF YOU EVER USED ONE you'd know what I mean.
|
|
What's so great about this?
It's a nicely drawn designer injoke that's a little bit cheesy? Where's all the god damn subversity gone? I'm not ready for the long road to the middle!! |
|
i'm thoroughly enraged by what i think must be the conspiratorial jakes and that i think they may be holding this back until after the $12 sale ends
poo |
|
Fuck pantone and their over priced monopoly.
love the shirt though! evan |
|
This one's gonna sell like hot cakes.
mmmmmm, hot cakes. |
|
when the hell are they gonna print this thing, so i can buy one??
|
|
Great stuff! Sweet concept & drawing. I'll buy one.
I'm astonished that contributors could rank this any lower than a 4 or 5! It confirms my suspicion that many voters are either very young, idealistic & judgmental, or have personal axes to grind. The joke here is self-reflexive in terms of graphic design production, it is therefore excluding of most of a t-shirt audience, which is the nature of t-shirt graphic communications. But to recognise the terms of reference and automatically assume one's responsibility is to critique [or worse, offer banal observations about colour etc.] is a common pratfall. The competition score/comments method & database seems really good; one way of balancing the scoring would be to remove the 'zero' score, that great bastion of negativity – one mark for at least trying, surely? |
|
i have one=D
|
|
Can't get any better.
|
|
my guy bought this for me for xmas, and i thought it was really sweet. i wear it all the time - must be cool to see people wearing something you designed! congrats!
|
|
This is the first time I've bought anything with a heart on it, ever. Love it.
|
|
wow man, people are in fucking love.
i personally think this is incredibly boring. But shows how much threadless and I are different. |
|
¥s on Feb 29 '04 thanks for all the good/bad comments from everyone.
|
|
Hot damn!!! Print this one up again.......please
|
|
ooh i love it! such a wicked idea man!
|
 |
thumbs up
|
 |
i just got mine, reprinted for christmas '04
it doesn't say Pantone on it, do the old ones? |
|
¥s on Nov 14 '04 it was never printed on any of the shirts, because Pantone didn't allow it.
|
 |
I ordered this one, yay, I hope it comes soon :(
|
 |
this's gotta print again : (
