The text is neccesary or else the wearer will answer the same question over and over. Perhaps cyrillic looking letters wil help people get the corrolation a little faster. I have a hard time with the lack of contrast. I'm not suggesting black and red, though that would give a nod to the Soviet Union, but I can't see any details of the design.

i also think it needs the text.

interesting take on the theme- original.



i think dafont.com has some good russian fonts.

Very nice art! I think the text is necessary too – it's asking a lot to recognize that particular satellite as a riff on Sputnik without the guidance of the word.

yeah, no text. Otherwise awesome.

i love everything, especially the text and font. if you made it cyrillic, i would never buy it, because the letters aren't the same. and i can read russian.



unless you actually spelled it phonetically in cyrillic. that could work.



but then it would look like: buthuk. and that just doesn't make me think beatnick at all.



sorry for rambleing,

I would like a hoodie of this... with a little more contrast to make the design "pop". I like green, tho.

I would wear it. Beatniks rock, yo!

yeah, i disagree.

it really needs the text or you'd have people walking up to you all the time and asking what it means.

which would just be annoying.

so i really like it WITH the text.

I'm throwing down a a vote FOR the text, it's amazing how big of a debate it is. I really like this idea and would LOVE to see it on a hoodie!

I adore this. Just how it is. Keep the text. I wouldn't want people saying "what is that?" "...it's beatnik" "...I don't get it." *sigh* five. easy.

I didn't get it WITH the text.

Keep the text, it's too much of a reach for most, apparently. totally get it, and would buy it. Dolla dolla bill.

keep the text, honestly i wouldn't have gotten it without it!

I got it right away with the text, but I'm not sure it would have come to me as quickly without. I'm not pro- or anti-text, I just thought I'd throw that out there.

This reminds me of that part in Sputnik Sweetheart where Miu called Jack Kerouac a sputnik. And I'm probably the only one who gets this reference but I love that book so much so I love this t-shirt SO YESSS
