"i smell copy-pasta"

hah, just kidding...
nice concept, but really don't know about the execution, maybe the figures could be not so square or smtn? also the tee colours you have chosen are terrible in my opinion.

but, the idea is good and i really like it,so i'll give you 4. that doesn't mean you don't have to do any changes tho...this won't get printed if you leave it like this, sorry :/

I want the other figures to have eyes too if the alien does--maybe just black circles, but it feels weird for only the alien to have eyes. And different tee colors. But otherwise, I love the idea.

My first instinct was to say this is a great design poorly executed, but I'm not sure if adding further detail would strengthen the design any.

So good work, lets see how it goes...

nice design.
i just hope your shirt color
could possibly pull it all together.
Plus it is a bit to simple for me.

maybe make each person a little different. there also all men, adding some in skirts would make it less uniform.

No brown, but black, red, yellow and white -- there is a colour limit and i think the 5 colours are good. I have no problem there.

The idea is great. But the boxiness is not to my liking. I agree with maybe adding some skirts, perhaps adding hair (so each can have different hair styles)?

brown is more prevalent/less racist than 'red'/'yellow'

and different colors, DEFINITELY.

Just because the figures are all wearing trousers, that makes them all men? Do chicks not wear trousers and have short haircuts?

That being said, I agree that more distinction - such as different haircuts - would be good. And make the red figure brown, and possibly cut out the yellow figure. And give the humans eyes. :-)

Fun! But I agree, the figures could be more individual/detailed. Eyes/simple faces would be a good idea, since the alien has 'em.

For a shirt that is trying to support unity and the coming together of different races, this comes off as a bit racist.
Classifying people into just colors especially "black, white, red, yellow" is not really what I would consider appropriate anymore.

I think it's great. Simple and nifty. Awesome work.

I don't think it's racist, it can be taken that way, but what can't be taken in a "bad" way these days.

Stick to your guns, playa'! Again, great design!

No comment about the design but I have a question for Simon Cowell. Can you explain to me how this is racist? By using your logic, if you took a picture an African, a Scandinavian, an Indian, an Asian standing together holding hands, it would be racist.
It's ignorance that keeps racism going. Would you and brownstar please take a deep look in your soul and really think about what you are saying?
brownstar
brownstar on Jul 13 '07
no no. foetidus, I think you're a bit confused:

1) Black people are pretty OK with being called black, obviously the more PC term is african american, but black is ok. "I'm black and I'm proud"

2) White people are white.

Here's the clincher:

3) No one who is aboriginal refers to themselves as red, and popular culture references (Cleveland Indians with a RED-faced logo, Washington REDSKINS) are looked upon with disgust by all those in that community.

The same is said for asian people being referred to as Yellow (re: yellow ranger in the power rangers).

4) Brown people call themselves brown all the time, yet instead of including Brown Black White and Alien, he included Red and Yellow, both of which have negative connotations.

Hope that clears things up. I wouldn't wear the shirt regardless, but if you're going to make a shirt about unity, try not to be racist about it. Unless you're trying to be ironic?

well... im black and i would wear it. nothing is perfect, and everyone makes mistakes. no, im not like charcoal, i am brown, but i dont say'brown people', i say black people. african american may be the right... political term, but only ppl that are uncomfortable with sayin 'black' (i.e. you) make a big deal out of it...

now tht thts overr... i like this shirt, and i would deff buy it. $5.

if you're going to try to hurl an insult at someone, at least have the decency to read the parts you're bolding to make sure they're spelled correctly. Otherwise, you just look retarted .

Brownstar, you are a complete idiot.
Color is nothing more than your brain's interpretation of reflected light hitting your retina. Anything beyond that is a fabrication of your mind. Assigning morality to a particular frequency of light is ridiculous. It only means something because you have assigned meaning to it. So I can only conclude that when you see color, you see hatred. What a disappointing life you must lead.
