apologies for the cheesy title. it isn't on the design.

ehh... I don't like it. Too plain. Nothing really to look at.

nice work, but looks like something the NYC board of tourism would sell...

I want to see a Ninja Turtle's hand trying to move the cover

dull. dull. dull.

i 2nd the turtles idea

You need something else to make this design not so bland. Why not adding an aligator eye in there.

i dont get the title. am i missing something?

it would be cooler if you got what the actual sewer looks like.
a con ed manhole or something?

Firstly NYC why? Is this a TMNT reference? Secondly make the man-hole to full-size that would be cooler, maybe a dash of colour?

if you add the TMNT hand on it i would totally buy this $$$

huh?
my soul is not in any new york sewer.

You know, it'd work without the NYC. It could say something more generic, like city sewer, or go more specific to your idea and have it say "Kharma Sewer". I'd $5 a "Kharma Sewer."
It's a 4. Without such a strong concept, it'd be stale.

Plus, I'm of the mind that NYC thinks entirely too much of itself. I don't 'heart' NY. I wanna see a pictograph shirt that says "NYC smells of urine." Crap in a sewer isn't special designer crap. It won't smell any better or make you cooler/more relevant. There'll just be more of it, like self-important New Yorkers.
