The Common American Spork
About the design
on March 18, 2007
Through DNA testing and analysis we have trace the roots/ancestry of the Common American Spork. It's basically a sordid tale of bad genes. Go here for a partial CLOSEUP

Very interesting. Reminds me of the family tree my dad showed me.
GreenGourd
The alternative version makes more sense to me. Brilliant.

There have already been some submissions on this site with this theme in the past. Also, this seems like a souped-up version of this design from NerdyShirts. I'm not accusing you of copying or anything like that. My only point is that the idea is something that plenty of others have already thought of.
Robsoul
Yep, it's been done to death like pandas and hearts, TheloniusMnk, but I wanted to give it a whirl with my own take on the subject. No harm in trying.

I don't even know if you need the tree. Super good, I like it on black.

i've already seen this SAME idea on this sight... mhm
hogboy
hah sweet.... great idea & execution.

I like it, especially the intricate details of the silverware, nice interpretation on this concept.

Great stuff Rob! I always wondered where sporks came from. My first encounter with them was at KFC, so I just thought they were an evil invention of the Colonel one day when he was feeling particularly vindictive.
CaptainCoco
OMG!! I love this one! I would totally buy it.
metalspork13
I'm kind of big on sporks (see username), so I LOVE this. Definite buy if the spork's on the bottom (i.e. geneaology chart done conventionally).
$5 anyways.
Robsoul
Actually metalspork13, putting it on the bottom is not conventional, it's just one way to do it. You can do charts horizontally or verticle in any which way. See my link a few comments above.
Thanks for the 5+$ ;-)

do it upside down with the offspring under the parents... works much better...

i love it
stingerstyler
finally, a good spork design! I commend you!
schmitzrl
it's upside down, you have to have the spork at the trunk. other wise it is good

UPSIDE DOWN!!!
Robsoul
DUDE! It's not upside down, once again, a family tree can be viewed vertically or horizontally in any format - SEE. I chose this format so there wouldn' be a giant arrow pointing at the wearer's crotch.
Anway, I have created a version that now points at one's crotch for your pleasure - ALTERNATE VERSION
Thanks for the feedback and comments so far.

I like the design a lot, but I do prefer the tree going the other way.
Monkey III
Whoa clever concept! And we need a spork tee pronto!

Someone just did this like a week ago.
litlnemo
The flipped version is much better. Makes more obvious sense to people looking at it (clearly, based on the responses here), and it echoes the shape of the tree behind it. And I am a genealogist, so there. ;-)
i carnt spel
hehe... nice!
Robsoul
Right on litlnemo, I'll take your word on it then, I guess my Donald Duck genealogy chart was incorrect then, gad-zoots! But it's funny, I was looking at a genealogy book last night and everything was horizontal.
Monkey III
Don't worry Rob -- I'm sure it's easy to change when they print this baby!
litlnemo
Well, it is true that genealogical charts can be done in any direction, really. But this one just seemed to work better with the spork at the bottom.
Anrihl
i like it this way cos it makes spork look like The King, haha. and it makes spork stand out more, also the point. gj :)
