Very creative. I hate the typical speak no evil, hear no evil, see no evil shirts. This shirt is great.

i like it, except.. what is going on with their crotches?

ditto on the crotches and i feel like it should say "the world is changing" (lit major, sorry)



but i really like the idea

Ok, Thanks... for their crotches...I do not know... it's their belly, it's not explicit enough?

Its awesome!! The desings is cool and I like the idea of the monkey with the megaphone giving orders.

ditch the crotches.

I think the crotch thing is confusing cause chimps don't actually have bare bellies. (I just did the ol' google image search to confirm.) Chimps are hairy up front from top to bottom.



Gorillas have the hairless thing going on with their chests if I recall...



Either way, yeah. The belly placement isn't quite right to stop it from lookin like a crotch. Heheh. It's always the weird things you don't notice yourself while designing that someone else finds and says "what the?"



I'd personally dump the text altogether. I think the monkeys say plenty without any text pointing it out.

except they look like the three sheep or the three lambs. Cool idea though

i like it. Maybe if you could make the belly look bigger, it wouldn't look like a crotch. They do look a bit sheepish. ha :) Cool design tho

Kaden on Feb 13 '07
ditto on the crotch bit. but great stuff

JefftheStud on Feb 13 '07
i love the idea but its too cartoony for me. i wouldnt buy it. a rework would be great though!
mlrasche
mlrasche on Feb 13 '07
sweet concept only problem (other than the crotches) is the hear no evil monkey. it took me a while to get that he was wearing headphones. they looked like he was covering his ears. make that more obvious and u get 5 from me.
LeRoi
LeRoi on Feb 13 '07
I really don't like the brown. And I'd get rid of the things on their crotches.



I suggest a BRIGHT colour, like aqua or lime or purple.



But I like the concept. Four.

No text ... otherwise, good. :)
FamoPuP
FamoPuP on Feb 14 '07
Yeah, i was thinking the same thing as mlrasche when i saw it. The headphones look more like noise canceling headphones...like he is still trying to hear no evil. I think you could add a cord going to a handheld mp3 device (Certainly DONT do iPod) or a stereo or something. $4

good design, like what famo said, crotch thing, lose text.
aliens
aliens on Feb 14 '07
the idea is good. but the monkeys aren't:P i think that it should just be the items. they dont have to be worn or used
the mothership
the mothership on Feb 15 '07
love the idea but i don't think it needs the whole "world is changing". but then again i'm just anti-text. if there must be text it should read "the world is changing" because without the "the" it sounds a fobby.



also, the crotchness area is a bit weird.
Anddreha
Anddreha on Feb 15 '07
I love the crotch and the words... I don't think you should change anything I love this design.

As petanca mentioned, i was just wondering if there was an unofficial 3monkeys design contest going on that i didn't hear about?

downrodeo on Feb 17 '07
i give it a $4 for the idea, but the illustration leaves a lot to be desired [for me anyway, not my kinda taste, i can't help it!] But the whole concept/ idea is a fresh new take on the see hear speak no evil thing... nice job dude.

Very cool. I agree about the crotches though. Also not sure if the text is necessary, but I do like this design a lot!

tiens! salut mapple, un bon gros 5$ pour toi! Par contre, comme je l'ai dit a cib hier, je ne sais pas si tu as remarqué, mais a threadless, le texte, ils ne le digèrent pas, il faut l'enlever systématiquement selon moi ;-)
ladykat
ladykat on Feb 17 '07
Quelquefois le texte marche, mais je ne suis pas sûre si le text marche ici.



(Desolée pour mon français!)

Great minds think alike, fools seldom differ.



I don't know about the text. I don't think it makes sense in context.

3 for the current design, but I checked out your modification link, and I'd give a $4 for the one on brown. Not a 5 simply because the "see no evil" thing has been done to death, but I like it anyway, and would buy it.

Love the illustration, I think without the crotch area they might look like snow monkies?
