About my design

I may be a bike enthusiast and a pacifist, but this is a little preachy. Maybe lose the text and let the graphic speak for itself? It would need some reworking, but I'd like it better. As is, $3.

Sweet design. Not much of a bike-fan though but it's cool :)

I think without the text, the message may not come through very well with just the graphic

Not to be argumentative, but doves dropping bikes on the world? It couldn't be more obvious.

There is a nonprofit organization called Bikes Not Bombs.



Also, I'm confused as to why Africa has a recycle symbol on it. For anyone who lives in the developing world, recycling is a matter of life and death. In fact, much of the garbage from Europe and the United States gets sent to developing nations for additional processing.

this actually made me laugh out loud (lol). i'm surprised it to that long for someone to say that. it makes no sense to me either.

I didn't like this at first in spite of being, like Persikov, a bike-lover and pacifist, but it's growing on me. The recycle symbol on Africa is rather strange.

That's cruel, sending them bikes and no way to pedal.

I think the design is killer! especially the hand drawn typography.



Some of the design doesn't quite make sense to me, but I still think it's a great design. Great texture, colors, and drawings.

looks like it reads 'tombs', and that's not hand rendered type by any means. not a bad design in all, the recycled logo is odd though i agree.

awesome design, but I'd never wear it. not really an environmentalist kinda person. I think this should be on an awareness poster or advertisement instead of a shirt.

Like the design too. It's really pretty, but I agree that it feels to preachy for me.
