Did a quick search for CMYK, CYMK, and YMCK.

Here's what I found:

About 86 different designs.
These were divided into five categories:
LETTERS: 14 (16%). The shirt says CMYK, and not much else.
ABSTRACT: 20 (23%). Designs whose main point is that the colors mix.
YMCA: 5 (6%). References to the song.
CLIP ART: 16 (19%). Usually black vectors with CMY! splashes or drips.
ILLUSTRATION: 31 (36%). A significant part of the design appears to be drawn. It's sort of a loose category.

The highest score: 2.90 for
CMYK City. - Threadless T-shirts, Nude No More

The lowest score: 0.88 for
CMYK rock and roll - Threadless T-shirts, Nude No More

The Average Scores:
For LETTERS: 1.62
For ABSTRACT: 1.56
For YMCA: 1.84
For CLIP ART: 1.74
For ILLUSTRATION: 1.8
OVERALL: 1.71

And here are some (not all) of the designs. (Some fit in more than one category, some don't really fit any. It's not an exact science.)

My new goal: Make a CMYK design that doesn't suck.

i'd like CMYK designs better if they were different colors. that CMYK City, while well done, would still benefit from different colors.

i mean, i'm sure it wouldn't suck, but it would still be a cmyk design. it's sort of like striving to write a really cool knock-knock joke...

obviously you've never heard the knock-knock joke about the orange who didn't say banana. that one's hilarious.

@ginette: Haha! I actually am working on something for the Childhood competition that involves CMYK, but only incidentally. (The point is comics/superheroes, and the colors made sense in that context.) Hopefully it doesn't suck.



@nikolina: It didn't really take too long, and I enjoy doing things like this.

cmyk for comic halftones is totally cool and not cheesy.

I vote 1 or zero for every CMYK design that thinks its new and witty by referencing CMYK. It's like, graphic designers getting huge boners, and pointing to their boners, and thinking their boners are hilarious and need to be seen by all.

Thanks so much for this! I had an idea using CMYK the colors and not a lot else, and was naïve enough to think it was original :)
