I thought it was interesting how the splatters are different..

The ultimate irony:

Parents get this gift card for their teen.
Their teen uses it to buy this shirt from Threadless.

Haha...

wow, its not like threadless has a monopoly on cassette tapes and splatters in graphic design

professorE on Dec 22 '07 at 6:56pm

It's the same cassette, they just took out the lettering on the ladel and added different splatters.

That particular image of a cassette they do have a monopoly on...

Maybe the same artist did the graphic?

Melikochan on Dec 22 '07 at 6:58pm

Interesting :)
I did not design that for VISA, and I think it says in the agreement & terms here on Threadless that it can't be used in other projects.

A swedish t-shirtstore have ripped it off too,

Im not saying I have monopoly of neither cassette tapes or color splashes, but these two are pretty obvious rip offs in my eyes.

Thanks for noticing Spaztastic, and thanks for the support professorE.
