how anyone can say this is a homage must be nuts. Totally stolen idea, lacking orginality and not what threadless should be about. It also makes me very sad that the designer has chosen to respond to this criticisms in such an wanky way

... not good, not good at all.

Great design!

Any fool that complains about this being a rip off needs to check their sources. 5 min with google could have saved you from looking like an ignorant fool. Props to Adam Capriola for doing the legwork.

This is a disgrace. Threadless, I'm ashamed that you actually let this even get voted on. It's clearly not his work. Just because he squares off some of the peaks and valleys doesn't make it his own. Anyone who wants the original and much superior design should go to eBay and do a search for 'Joy Division Unknown Pleasures' and you'll see for yourselves just how little imagination this Richard guy has. This is perhaps one of the most iconic and recognizable designs in all of music and for you to try and pass it off as your own and profit from it is disgraceful. It's odd though because I went to this artist's website portfolio and he's actually very good! Why he chose this design to submit, I will never know. But he has so many illustrations that deserve looking at. So Richard, try submitting some of you other designs. This one is taken.

This is an abomination. You can hide behind the 'great artists steal' line, but you sir, are no 'great artist.'

IC-Three says " Any anyway joy division didn't make any of it it was Peter Saville http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peter_Saville_%28artist%29 "
Oh come on man ! Are you serious ? Did you really think like mick jagger draw the " Tongue and Lip " logo by himself ? Should I explain to you how its work ?

Anyway , this shirt bothers me . It's sure a really cool idea and a nice shirt but i wasn't expect threadless to print those kind of tribute/rippoff tees ( there is a lot of other site who's deal with this ) .
Or does joy division's design is become such an iconic figure that it allowed designers and printers to use it like mario and stars wars refenrences ?
Hum ... like MG3 , I don't know if I love this or hate it.

Man, why the hell did they take off the part about New York being a city of unknown pleasures? That was the best part! D;

joy division wasn't exactly an original idea guys! come on, an the shirt has new york city in the lines, it's really pretty sweet update on a VERY OLD IDEA.

Any anyway joy division didn't make any of it it was Peter Saville http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peter_Saville_%28artist%29
