Yellow/orange-ish ink possibly printed in gold?

This must be the condom launched by the 40 year old virgin.

The squid DOES kinda look like a condom.

I'd totally go for it if it looked more like a squid.

It's an octopus, not a squid.

do octopuses even ink? I thought that was a squid thing. Anyway, like the sketchy look, maybe make octopus/squid bigger. I like the gold on purple.

I like it very much. For those who say it's not quite obvious enough what it is, maybe you could make it's eye more prominent - a little more facing our perspective. I think it's fine as is, but that's just a suggestion. I like the purple and gold/orange combo.

Ink is a squid thing. Use gold foil ink-that would make it look really striking.

Ooh, octopus! $5.

Most octopuses can eject a thick blackish ink in a large cloud to aid in escaping from predators. The main colouring agent of the ink is melanin, which is the same chemical that gives humans their hair and skin colour. This ink cloud dulls smell, which is particularly useful for evading predators that are dependent on smell for hunting, such as sharks.

Yeah, both octopuses and squids have inking capabilities.

Very phallic.

I like the gold-on-purple a lot, but I'm not sure that I like the concept.
Melikochan
Melikochan on Jun 26 '07
I'm starting to think that some of you guys have never seen a penis or a condom before.
Kojima
   Kojima on Jun 26 '07
Nah, it's just how they roll. Dig it? They printed one of my designs after dozens of people made penis comments, so don't sweat it. Nice design.

Purple + Gold = Uh-mazinggg.
I need this shirt.

I like the concept, as many have said, but it's definitely too square.

I also seemed to have submitted this during an octopus rush. It was a bad move on my part.

Your design is a little bit ambiguous by the first look. But, it really has some concept of yourself. I like white ink more than gold ink collocated with purple.

no matter how many times i see the octopuss done, i would still buy it... along with every single one.

I made a shirt like this and unfortunately, even with more detail, it's nearly impossible to get away from "Is that a penis?" with the tentacles bunched together. Sorry. I feel you, most certainly (my friend wears his dick-squid shirt proudly) but from previous experience, I can say this design probably won't be successful. I'll give you a 4 anyway (great minds, right?)

octoPI!

Melikochan on Jul 01 '07
Both "octopuses" and "octopi" are correct pluralizations.

I'm not quite sure if that will be easy to read on the t-shirt $3

I love this shirt. I'll buy it if you win. And I think the colors you chose look really good, complimentary.

It is a lovely design and I wish you well. You gotta have a sense of humor about these things.
