pretty intense!

i think the writing/explanation should go on the back of the shirt though.

oh my god yesyesyesyes yes 1000 times yes!

This... this is brilliant.

i was so confused until i realized that the bird and spock are covered up by the text.

you should fix that.

I like the design, and the text is amusing, but it seems a bit long-winded for a t-shirt. I wouldn't want to stand around for 5 minutes while someone tried to read all the way through the text on my shirt.

like it, but i agree that the text would fit in much nicer on the back

i agree with axxe, it might be annoying to have people try and read all the way through, but i LOVE this!



5 and buy. =DD

It's brilliant, it's the kind of shirt you would read while bored in math class, but elsewhere you could explain with a few brief sentences.



Metal should beat scissors because scissors are made of metal. Bit of wordplay, hehe.

Ahah that make me really laugh! 5$

Scissors only beat metal to keep everything winning and losing the same amount - it was the one I was left with at the end! Hence - "scissors beat metal cos they just do"

Good graphic, but it's not a great shirt- the text is unreadably small. Plus, I just don't find it attractive.

place that text on the back of the shirt and id buy it :)

I actually kinda like this and I don't usually like these kinds of tees that you have to read. It'd probably make a much better poster, though.

I like the text on the front, actually--you need the reference there.

Spock finds Heavy Metal illogical - lol



Great idea, but not sold on the execution. Difficult to make this work on a tee. Would make a cool poster though.

I'm a pretty ridiculous Star Trek fan... So for me, this shirt is pricelss! I do agree that the text should be on the back, and made larger, so that it can be better appreciated, of course. I would definitely buy it!

i think i saw a much expanded poster of this at 5 below the other day

heh the bottom one is the live long & prosper sign. thought it was "the shocker"

Oh, come on. You know Spock's a total metal head.

If this shirt doesn't win I shall be sorely dissapointed

BRILLIANT!!!!!

ROFL!!!!!! 5

Not really a novel concept, and it could be a little more stylized to make it more interesting to look at. e.g. http://www.ritilan.com/archives/images/2005/09/RPS15.jpg

come back when you have 103 symbols

I like the concept, but it's waaaay too complicated for a T-shirt.

I like "writing outsmarts metal" :D

This is what's wrong with Threadless lately. Great designs without a novel of text on them get voted poorly even though they are billiantly drawn and executed with a great idea to back them up. This "design" has none of those yet it's still getting only good comments. I'm normally not one to comment on designs, let alone give harsh comments (especially since I don't have any designs up myself), but come on people. Threadless is an art/design competition. Not an application to harvard, so why write an entire essay for a shirt. If I'm not mistaken, it was one of Sonmi's designs that got a 1.7 for being a little different, but it was still amazingly drawn. Other designers on here are getting severely underscored. If this gets better than theirs, voters don't know what the fuck they're talking about. Good luck on future designs, RaveDave.

*mostly good comments

just great

I think that this is so great! Its fun to navigate in your drawing! I really hope that this shirt gets printed.

I'd fix the spelling - it's "primitive," not "primative"

awesome!

I think there's too much going on for a t-shirt. Interesting all the same.

love it! however the words kill it. maybe on the back?

The words must be on the front. They need to be together with the picture.



I'm a little bothered by "P. Scissors cut fuse". Dynamite should be mentioned.

I thought the hand symbol described here as "metal" was for rock (rock & roll, not rock rock)? I've never heard it just in relation to heavy metal. Otherwise great :)

Amazing. Quite simply. 5~

But please put words on back?

But please put words on back?

something very similar has been done before... i've seen it on a poster.

Nice

I feel like if I wore this I'd have some really strange people stop and read the whole thing and it would be really awkard.

If this t-shirt were worn by a cute girl, then I might use reading it as an excuse to look a little longer than would otherwise be considered polite. Other than that...Who in the world would take the time to read so much text? T-shirts are snapshots, glimpsed in passing, that generate a smile (hopefully). I like the idea, though, and it's clever and witty.
