Pretty good for a first design. A little too political or statemental for my tastes.

I agree with the no text deal, but I give it a $5 just because it would be perfect for my friend.



Pretty much.

blah blah blah, consumerism is a drug, blah blah. Aren't we all a little past the simplest version of this concept?

I would not be averse to caffeine administered intravenously...but here here on the no shiny on the pushy thing...that would need to be fixed.

I definitely wouldn't wear a hyperdermic (sp?) needle on my shirt, but that has to do with phobias, not your design. I like the idea, and I really like the simplicity of the execution. I would keep both the text and the horizontal placement. You make a good point. Or a dull point, depending on how you look at it... (Pun...sorry.)

Well I never expected to get such high praise for my design! Thanks people, gonna be submitting more soon, so keep an eye out.

I just got back from the break room getting coffee. I'd buy it from Starbucks if I could, though I prefer Tim Hortons any day. I used to hate coffee. Then my life changed and I had to exist on 3 hours of sleep a day. Coffee is what keeps me from falling asleep on the job, falling asleep behind the wheel, etc. Therefore it keeps my bills paid and keeps me alive. For that, I love coffee. I love sleep more, but no one's figured out a way to sell that yet.

What would be cool would be several shots, a starbucks one, maybe a redbull one, or if you want to get real political have one filled with oil and write OPEC on it

Starbucks isn't a controversy for me. It's coffee.



People want it, they buy it.



Who cares?



Good for them.

That is outta control well done, i think coka cola would have been better , but that is cause i used to be addicted to the stuff

I think it's great, I don't drink coffee so I like to heckle those that do, meaning I would wear this for sure.



Definitely no text though...

dawojcie on May 07 '07
Why do people hate supply and demand so much? Lot of people like coffee...lot of people like their coffee.

Take away the text. It stands out to much and takes the eye away from the design its self.



And I find that the design its self is a bit over rated as in to bashing companies such as Starbucks.
Sailorboy
Sailorboy on May 07 '07
Hey guys,just a quick point. This isn't meant to be political or anything like that, I'm personally into starbucks, I just think its cool how a company packages and advertises a product in such a way that gets us all 'addicted'. Don't get me wrong i love my tall skinny misto with hazelnut syrup!!! hehe Thanks for all the ccomments.
hazelwhisper
hazelwhisper on May 07 '07
The text is what's politically loaded. You could probably get rid of it for enhanced comical effect. Frankly, I would just put in the starbucks logo.

wow I don't like this Starbucks is a fair trade company, maybe target something thats actually bad.
skafiend007
skafiend007 on May 08 '07
Well, while I hate the whole Starbucks globalization thing (fair trade or not), there are MUCH bigger targets to shoot at, which is a fact that is influencing my possible enjoyment of this effort. Admire you for taking a stand, but too easy a target for my tastes...



oh, and I think hypo needles have a little angle to them at the end, not just flat
Sailorboy
Sailorboy on May 08 '07
Again, i'm not making any political statements here, I think starbucks are very clever how they have dominated the coffee market (at least here in the uk) by making their coffee fashionable. I'm just picking up on that; but thanks for everyones comments anyways.
skafiend007
skafiend007 on May 08 '07
Actually I did a logo a long time ago for a fake coffee company called "Evil Empire" coffee, based on the Starbucks logo, with a devil in place of the mermaid on the logo. I made it all red instead of green but I liked it. I had a shirt made up just for myself!
J-Bone
J-Bone on May 09 '07
I'm generally not a "text hater", but I agree that the message is clear without it. Well done though!

Nice idea!

Maybe a shringe (sp) with the well as a coffee cup would be better. Not text would be good too. If you made if obvious. A more dynamic angle would help.
MizShellL
MizShellL on May 10 '07
You might want to add a highlight to the end of the syringe.



Also, I recommend omitting the text, but this is a clever idea.



All of my friends are addicted to Starbucks.
