A design joke for all you design nerds out there. I'd love to get this printed, just so I can wear it myself.

L.T. on May 08 '08

I like it

clashmore on May 08 '08

Thanks. I like it too.

Pixtoons on May 08 '08

All 'types' will love this. ;)

clashmore on May 08 '08

Uh oh, let's not start in with the puns :)

FRICKINAWESOME on May 08 '08

If the style of the pics were more, well, avant garde, i'd be all about this one!

melbelgirl on May 09 '08

this made me giggle. ^^

Sari. on May 09 '08

I kind of agree with frickinawesome... just find the fencer looking not so great...

I'd also like to see the text written by hand.. or at least a font that looks more handwritten... cool idea, though. 3, because I don't like the overall result :)

Very cool - made me chuckle!

I am a typesetter. I totally got it! This has to get printed. Type nerds unite!

If anybody says pull the text I will personally bash their head in.

clashmore on May 11 '08

Whoah, violence is not the answer.

But bad design kills.

alegasse827 on May 11 '08

I'm not a fan of bright red shirts.

clashmore on May 12 '08

Ummm...okay?

rockin_horse on May 13 '08

if this gets printed, ill headbutt a sidewalk cuz its so cool, and maybe ill buy one as well

smileporfavor on May 13 '08

simple...smart..it could work..

toorosietohandle on May 13 '08

awesome concept, but i feel like the fencer could be a bit better drawn...but don't change anything else!

indie-esque on May 13 '08

I agree with all the people who say the fencer isn't so great.. Sweet concept, though.

Mizuneko on May 13 '08

I would like it more on a darker shirt background. I LOVE the text, though. The text is made of $5.

clashmore on May 13 '08

What about the illustration "isn't so great"?

bobobob1230 on May 13 '08

could be bigger is all
and not on red

bobobob1230 on May 13 '08

and maybe make the fencer avant garde

Ste7en on May 14 '08

if the illustration was better: i.e. line weighting, consistent aesthetic (some shapes are sharp and straight, others bumpy)...etc...then I could see this doing well

clashmore on May 14 '08

More variation in the line weight?

Marwood64 on May 14 '08

The Avant Garde logo is trademarked. You're stealing from Herb Lubalin. And the design is mediocre.

clashmore on May 14 '08

An homage, sure. But stealing? Hardly.

Hello Clashmore,

the act of plagiarizing; taking someone's words or ideas as if they were your own.

You are in fact ripping off Herb Lubalin. Why don't you take some time and come up with an original thought.

Marwood: get a life. I'd like to reach through the screen and slap you. Anybody with half a brain cell would be able to see that I'm not trying to pass off the Avant Garde logo as my own, dipshit. My idea is the juxtaposition of that logo with a fencer, commenting on the similarities between the phrases "En garde" and "Avant Garde." Don't try to talk down to me, douchebag.
