Showed this to Shepard Fairley by sending this to him and he really liked it.



My homage to the man and also just smile everyone, the world needs to be more happy.

I love it because i love obey love love.

as a big 'obey' clothing fan, i love the twist on the logo. this is great!

as long as Shepard is okay with it, I guess I am too.

ditto. and has anybody checked with andre the giant?

Once again, urbandictionary.com bridges the generation gap and connects me to today's youth! After finding the "Obey" link, I now get the joke.

Honestly, this strikes me as more derivative than parody. I respect that others may feel differently.

you should just sell it to obey.

nice love it

eh, you took the obey logo and added a cheesy smile :\

Its called parody, try and look it up.

confused by the strange white spaces right on the sides of the guys neck, but interesting design

Parodies work really well on shirts as long as you twist them enough. Some of you may have not realised but threadless have already printed a parody of this logo, look for the urban camoflauge shirt. You'll notice there is the same logo, except the parody is done with Obi Wan Kenobi from starwars. The difference was the OBI logo was much smaller, and part of a larger design. This parody sort of works, but I feel by making the twist so simple, it looks quite cheap. Techincally all you have done is replace OBEY with SMILE, two words which arn't even opposite nor similar, and then added the smile, not changing the rest of the logo. In that respect the OBI parody on urban camoflauge by it's self is better than this design.



Sorry mate but you need to twist it abit more, for me this looks abit tacky. By the way there is no problem with copyright here, the image is a blatant parody.

its not a good parody if it isnt funny

How about using the word "OBI" and putting a stylized drawing of Obi Wan Kenobi. That would be more "parodic"



is that a word?

oh, wait, I guess someone already did this...

ha ha ha -- good one, Tofu_Rok !



This design works best if really big or really small

and I prefer really big. I'm glad you chose big :)
