I like the concept, I would lose the text at the bottom.

tesco on Aug 29 '07 in before comic sans diss...
|
|
5$ i love it.
|
 |
I like the idea. I'm not in love with the font though. Try something a little more handwriting-ish. And I would make the text at the bottom smaller than the text at the top. It also might look nicer in a more aqua color.
|
 |
Yeah, I'd cut the comic sans and the text at the bottom. But other than that, I like the concept.
|
 |
You should make the optimist in Georgia, pessimist in Chiller, and the magician in Monotype Corsiva.
You should also remove the quotation marks. that leaves threadless users asking- Very nice, very nice, how much? |
|
i want this so bad, i do magic and this would be perfect, 5$
|
 |
omg! lawl.
i dig. 5 |
|
5 ....without the bottom text
|
 |
Excellent concept, poor font choice. New font, lose the bottom row, and I'd buy it.
|
 |
Different font and it would be awesome
|
 |
I agree with IDmyBFFjill!
I need this shirt. |
 |
i agree you need a font change, and to get rid of the quotations. however i think i would leave the bottom text and cut the top text.
|
|
thanks for the feedback. I think you're right about the font - I might change it and experiment with my own handwriting maybe. Not sure about getting rid of the bottom or top line of the text, but of course I will consider that too. More comments on that would be helpful to me :)
|
|
hehe hihi haha good
|
|
i love it too, but i agree that youll need to try something more creative with the text. maybe labels on the glasses instead of just text? but other than that i think this is a great design :)
|
 |
the second line of text is necessary since without it there is nothing different between optimist and pessimist.
I agree with suggestions to make the font look more like handwriting. |
|
haha, this is really cute! I agree, perhaps you should use a different font, though.
|
 |
eww comic sans... but nice concept!
|
 |
cool idea. new font and it'd be perfect.
|
 |
I'd lose the "optimist, pessimist, illusionist", keep the other wording but hand write it.
Cool idea :) |
|
lose the bottom text and pick a new font. clever, though.
|
 |
FRICKINAWESOME on Aug 31 '07 NO text on bottom, make the text on top something cooler.
5$ and done after that. 3 for now....fun job here! You can even cut this into two picture if you put the word optimist on the top half of the glass and the word pessimist on the bottom of the pic. |
 |
more color...and add some cooler, more original text. then i will give you a $5
|
|
to agree with a lot of above comments: new font (esp ID's idea of different fonts for each glass) and no quotation marks and i'll buy it
|
 |
wellll....the whole optimist pessimist thing has been done before
cute but i just dont know 3 |
 |
Krakaboom on Aug 31 '07 While I'm no fan of the bottom line of text, without it the first two glasses are identical.
And I bet before submitting this you didn't know how much hate there is out there for comic sans, eh? :-p |
|
Definitely lose the bottom text. It's quite obvious what is going on, even if the two glasses are identical.
|
 |
dont get rid of the text at the bottom, there are some pretty stupid people out there and the extra bam would probably make people laugh even more so keep it! 5$
|
 |
I would pick a different font but for the most part, I love the idea.
Good luck : ) |
|
I agree that the text at the bottom needs to be lost. Otherwise, it is brilliant; I would wear it. 5
|
|
I don't like it because it's too close to a design that's already been printed. ("Pessimistic or Optimistic?" ) The font is making me cringe, and the design just looks too bland to me. I definitely wouldn't pay $17 for it.
But hey, I'm just one person. |
 |
font: unattractive
text in quotes: unneeded otherwise the concept is great, if you could add just a little snazz to make it stand out, but maintain its minimalism, it would rock. |
|
ok, after all of your helpful suggestions I decided to do something like this: 3glasses.gif
- I got rid of the bottom text, - used my own handwriting instead of the comic sans you all seem to love ;) - and redesigned the glasses a little bit. Check it out & tell me what you think... |
 |
COMINMND SANNSSD!!!
|
 |
awe-inspiring
|
|
nah, i liked it before just change to different kinds of text and it gets a $5 from me.
|
 |
hahahaha love it. so funny and clever! i cant put my finger on it but somethings a little off about it. i'm sure you've had plenty of suggestions above. but i'd LOVE to see this printed someday. so keep at it!
|
 |
I really like the concept, i think keep both the top and bottom set of words but a different font that fits in with the shirt.
|
|
ok people, this is my final version (click)
For me this one is the best. I decided to keep both lines of the text, smooth the design a little bit but still keep it minimalistic with only one colour, and of course use my own handwriting instead of comic sans. I hope you like this one better. Once again thanks for all your suggestions! |
 |
...oh snap I did that wrong. Anyway I LOVE the final version. $5
|
 |
mhm, liking this, not liking the bottom text.
|
 |
so awesome
|
|
I like it as it is. It made me laugh when I saw it. Witty. I'd buy it :)
|
 |
yeah the bottom text undoes the best part of the time by trading the viewer as stoopid as well as ruining the dynamics... otherwise it has a nice simplicity
|
|
Haha! I like the redo!
|
 |
fonts!! i think you should have a different font per person...just a thought.
otherwise i love it. oh and lose the quotation marks. |
|
I'd wear the top choice in your fist link of redos. But I like your final too, I just prefer the solid color for the liquid in the glasses. Still, it's a great job, and I really expect it to be printed! :-)
|
 |
This shirt feels so Demetri Martin to me. Love it. But the cups could stand out more, if it hasn't been said already.

Funny idea, much too plain.
|
|
final version should stay. hope u'll make it. blue's my favourite colour anyway. peace
|
 |
I'd wear it.
Buy it? Not sure. |
 |
awesome, just remove the bottom text, the headers say enough!
|
 |
Here's another "drop the text at the bottom" vote - and I'd prefer a different font.
It gets a $4, pending those changes. |
|
so awesome!!
|

|
|
it NEEDS the text at the bottom
ABRACADABRA |
|
Keep the text at the bottom. It's half as funny with half the text.
I prefered your final version but I also prefered the coloured water myself. 4 |
