This is the font that the band Travis uses for their album covers. I don't know why that's important, just something I noticed.

Wouldn't it have made more sense if the words did the action they proclaimed on the shirt? ie 'Up High' positioned high on the shirt....and so on. Another thing that bugs me is the first line having no slanted letters. I dunno. The idea is super, but I am not sold on the shirt thus far.

This is the most overdone type treatment ever.
Avant Garde is dead.

agreed with mezo about positions. and "too slow" could be on the back.

No type really dies. Proper application makes any type appropriate. I don't really think of this as a proper application though. I guess the period of high-fives works with the era of Avant-Garde, but the magazine the logo was designed for had nothing to do with such a fluffy topic. I'm a fan of well done typography, but all the ligatures here are part of the font. That's a hard sell for me as a standalone design. I don't really feel you've added much to it. Also, the leading is erratic.

I agree
Avant garde is NOT dead.
I like this shirt !
And maybe too slow should be in the back

Or maybe lower on the shirt
I like the white type on the teal
black type on teal would be cool
What about a yellow?

Anywho I give this a HIGH 5
LOL I crack myself up...

I would love this if it was on the bottom right corner (that is, when looking at the shirt, not wearing it)

I have been looking for it for ages!

shouldn't this be a slogan? and i think there should be something more engaging with the text as others have said.

you might spread out the sentences, i think, to emphasize the motion. but i'd wear it, or at least buy one for my guy and my best friend--they'd wear it too.

i love this one! i think it'd be cooler if you placed the type more towards the middle of the shirt.

I agree with Mezo et al.

Place the phrases accordingly on the shirt - with "too slow" on the back.

Maybe a funker, dude-style font that you draw yourself, as well.

You could also draw in wee cartoony hands doing the motions.

LCO on Jun 12 '07
I like, but I've never heard anyone say "in the middle." I always hear, "up high.. down low... too slow!" But I suppose omitting that line would mess up the shaping of the text.

I like the darker color AND the font used. Still not sure I'd buy it, but I kinda like the typography on this one anyway.

wearable, but the kerning and leading is still a bit funky. never gonna win though, but you knew that you sonnofabitch, so stop wasting my internets.

the best part is the intersecting O's ;)

I can see what there is to like about this shirt, but I don't like it. Maybe an illustration instead of the actual words?

Hmm thats like the Boards of Canada logo/tshirt...

andrea-janine on Jun 13 '07
