The word "Nerd" made out of Pi, Sigma, correlation, and lowercase delta. Followed by almost 100 digits of Pi. The digits may actually be a bit off, but I'll fix that before I submit. This is just concept.



Thoughts?

I think the "Nerd" thing is pretty cool, but the numbers aren't tied in very well. I would say just drop it, but that makes the shirt pretty plain... I'd try to find some way to visually unify the two things you've got going there. Maybe use the numbers as a frame, or something in the background behind the word "nerd."

Would it be wrong if the symbols were smudgy, as if they were written on a chalk board?



Do math professors/teachers still use chalk boards?



Yeah... I'm showing my age.... *sigh*



Check out my slogans if you get the chance, okay?

Here it is with the numbers darker and behind the NERD.

Hmm.. I think, the word nerd, written like that is a good idea, but, what's up with the excessive and slanted numbers front and back?



Btw, I just uploaded version 2 of my design here

Oops.. My above comment was meant for your first version... But, i think this one looks decent enough.

would it look like that on the tee? it seems a little too simple, maybe more of a pattern would help

What do you mean "Would it look like that on the tee?" Would it look like what? Would it look like the design? Yes, that's the point. ;)



And I think it's already really patterned. Do you have a suggestion?

Here it is on a model. I made the 3.14 red so that you could tell they were the digits of pi.

I think it would be cooler if you could make the Symbols stand out a little more. Just something to make it pop out more if you know what i mean. Good concept. Will this wrap around the entire back of the shirt too or will the numbers just be on the front?



Also if you wouldn't mine checking out My Design

Here the background numbers have a chalky-pattern so that the NERD stands out more. The numbers WILL wrap around the back of the shirt.

I like this version better.

lol maths



i thought 3.142592... is pi



why is there sigma, r, and delta ? just curious

It spells NERD.

All the places I've checked say that pi starts with: 3.141592653589

OWH nerd hahah



lol how bout the rest of the numbers, you made them up ?



erm, how bout focusing the design just in the center.

I like the idea, it's really cool... I'm not such a fan of the 3.14 being in red though, but I really like your use of mathematical symbols to spell nerd... really cool.



Please check out my design, I'd love to know what you think

Thanks.

just awesome.

Something about all the numbers for pi seem distracting. What if the numbers were really small, making the ground? This would be less of a distraction from the 'nerd.'

I forgot to mention that I really dig the 'nerd' idea. Maybe play with different type a bit?

@ wu-hsin, "Making the ground" I'm not sure what that means. But I'll try making the numbers smaller



@Fujiapple, The rest of the numbers are part of Pi. They aren't all in the right order (just one or two are missing from the edges)



@Jess the Mess, you don't think the red 3.14 is necessary? I thought people wouldn't understand that it was Pi without it.

Any more suggestions? I have 3 "don't submits." Is it just a bad design?

cool idea. I like the pattern effect. I would blend the nerd into the background more. maybe just a lighter grey than the background and same lighter grey on the 3.14. and maybe smaller numbers. but dig the idea

good, but does the pi go all the way around the shirt or just on the front. It would be better if it is just on the front but it looks kind of like it wraps around. great idea!

the design isn't bad, just needs work. i wouldn't have the 3.14 in red...i can get the same idea if its the same color as the other numbers. I'd maybe have the

"nerd" in red, or another color so that stands out more. other then that take into account how the numbers will interact with the seams of the sleeves and the neck and the shoulders....maybe have the numbers move around the sleeve instead of straight across. it just seems too repetitive. hope this helps! :)



My design is up for scoring, Help Me Out Please!

What I meant by "ground" was that all the numbers of pi become small and dense so that it becomes the background. The way it is now the numbers fight for dominance with what's really important.. the "nerd."

Okay. Good idea. Thank you.

math nerd.



Check out some of my stuff if you get a chance.

Smaller numbers, got rid of the red.



Any ideas on how to make the NERD stand out?



Should the numbers just be on the front, or wrap around the back?

Here it is, sans numbers and with some famous equations instead. I also added a chalky effect to the NERD part and added a red border. Thoughts?

Anyone? Anyone? Bueller?

i really like this idea. i think this version looks the best. it's not too busy and it definitely draws the attention towards the 'nerd' in the middle. nice work! =)



check out mine if you can please.

thanks!

I like this version better than the one with the numbers. If the epsilon was closer to the same height as the rest of the symbols it look more like "nerd."

*nod* Except that in all mathematical functions Sigma is always bigger.

Here is the most recent veresion on an actual shirt.

cool the font looks like it was sewn on



many equations i've nv seen before, lol



i still think the equations should be centralized

i like the idea, i wouldn't put any of the equations. don't really think it's necessary.

There's gravity, the quadratic formula, the mandlebrot set, the pythagoreom theorem, e=mc^2, Binomial area, the equation for pi, and the area of a circle. They're real math equations varying from algebra to advance calculus and statistics.



What do you mean "you still think the equations should be centralized?" As in, all of them in the center?



And without the equations, would it be a little boring?

shit, ive seen most of those eqns before, im a nerd!! anyway, i wanted to ask, is it going to be wrap around? (i.e. eqns at the back as well?) might look a little weird either way.

It won't wrap. The equations will fade into the seams. The only equations that will wrap are the ones on the sleeves, and those aren't really a wrap.



Unless you think it'd be better if they wrapped? "Weird either way" doesn't sound good, though. ;)

I think it's great, sub it!

the textures make it

this is amazing.

submit.

submit.

submit.

Heh. I'll wait and see if more people agree, but thank you very much.

I think you've got it now. The equations are visible but subtle, so there is a nice hierarchy, and the red border and texture on the 'nerd' makes it stand out. Looks good, what do you think of sizing down the equations to make them even more subtle? Just a thought, but overall, it looks good! I'd wear it.

Have you tried hand-drawing the font? Just a thought. Looks cool already.

Size them down? The graphic makes them stand out more then they actually will when printed.



Wrap around, or fade into seams?

yeah thats what i meant heh, if it's wrapped it'll look weird being covered in equations, fading out at the seams might make it seem rather.. unbalanced sideways? not sure if im making any sense lol..

Well... you've presented me with an impossible situation. Heh.

Are the sleeve equations good, or should I keep the sleeves clear?

Bump. Just a few more comments, then I'll sub.



Sleeve equations?

Finally, this version without the excessive numbers on the background, and the red outline on the "nerd" makes it perfect. Looks decent enough to be submitted imo.



Check out my design update (:

I like this.

Sleeve Equations or no? Grah! I'm dying to sub this, but dunno if the sleeve equations will bother people.

Here's what my final submission will look like. Is it ready?

i love the grunginess of the font. i guess this is ready for submission. =)

awesome idea! i would buy this: submit now.

I submitted it. However, I've had a lot of my nerdy friends complain that it doesn't actually spell nerd in Greek, instead it spells psrd. Would that bother people on threadless?

but it looks like nerd =]

so yea i love it

only nerds would know what it actually said. Regular folks would need to know what it meant, so I think it's good the way it is. I'd buy it in a heartbeat.

LOVE it!!! (And I'm a Maths nerd, so I guess that makes me the target market :P)

Is it up for voting yet? Let me know when it is, cause I'd love to score it.



Also, thanks for your comments on my design... it just went up for scoring at

Good luck with this!
