I was like "butterfish?" then I felt like an idiot...

ideleon on Jul 18 '08

I was like "butterfish"? then I felt like an idiot...

I just said butterfish outloud. xD

^ same here

yup butter seems more like it but oh well 5$

sinwon on Jul 18 '08

thanks mates. i believe the gold ink will tremendously.

this was in the critique and a few mates suggested the use of engravings like pure/fine gold, 999,9 etc but i find that will be a dead give away of what is happening. appreciate their support.

anyway in the end i use the original idea of letting the gold ink express itself.

thanks for voting :)

sinwon on Jul 18 '08

rephrase*
thanks mates. my intention was to use the gold ink to highlight the 'goldness' of this design.

hope i dont confuse any :)

have a nice weekend mates

pipopau on Jul 18 '08

whoaa.unique technique.its like 2 in one.sometime can be gold with butter shape.s0metime can be butter with gold shape.
new species for this yr for sure!
good idea.

sisera on Jul 19 '08

good idea! 5$!

a-lyse on Jul 19 '08

at least the ''shimmering'' part doesn't makes it look like a butter..=)
*thumbs up*
keep it up!!

lovechuck on Jul 19 '08

it's great, maybe if you put 24K on the side of the bar?fish? then it would make more sense.

FRICKINAWESOME on Jul 20 '08

I was gonna say the lovechuck suggestion, so that's two folks who think it could be a bit more spelled-out what that yellow shape is on your tee.

sinwon on Jul 20 '08

gold ink wont help?

radreb on Jul 20 '08

here you go sinwon gold bars with "Pure Gold" engraved in it
you got the shape right, maybe just put on it "Pure Gold"

sinwon on Jul 20 '08

thanks guys. i will prepare an 'texted' version.

sinwon on Jul 20 '08

i thought the use of gold ink was going to explain the design but hmmm, perhaps not. anyway, here is the one with 24k added:

many thanks

sinwon on Jul 20 '08

perhaps i mis-communicated on the 'gold ink' part, which actually i was
suggesting really shiny metallic ink like the one used for
hero within.

though i dont have the shirt i've seen others (means other shirts) printed in
this kind of ink.

Amez on Jul 20 '08

Oh, I thought it was butter at first.
oops!

MightyCow on Jul 20 '08

It's butter. I refuse to accept any other explanation.

sinwon on Jul 20 '08

thus as a deisgner, i have failed...
not that i think i qualify to be called one :D

Merzi on Jul 21 '08

I really think the gold ink/foil will get the idea across. But the texted version is not bad either.

ejaboy on Jul 21 '08

I think, this is nice. You aint failed Sinwon. :D

carissaxox on Jul 21 '08

i thought it was butter :O

svincent86 on Jul 21 '08

i think the gold ink will make it obvious, I'VE never seen sparkley gold butter

broncsbomber on Jul 22 '08

both versions are nice (with the '24k' and without)...5$

d-zign on Jul 22 '08

Hey this is fantastic design!!!! Definitely 5$!!!

Please sore mine:

Deodand on Jul 22 '08

The second one, with the met gold brick and black fins, is my favourite.

its.shan.shan on Jul 22 '08

if you can do like a goldfoil thing for the gold part, it might deter people from thinking "butter" cause I thought that too.

sinwon on Jul 22 '08

dear its.shan.shan
i've been saying that from the very beginning. i wonder whether people dont read or they think it cant work. gold ink or gold foil, anything, that suggest 'gold'...

Macquarian on Jul 23 '08

Coolness. I dig it with and without text.I'm wondering if at that angle you mightn't spot a bit of his other fin coming out underneath? Might make things too busy. But I like it a lot.

Macquarian on Jul 23 '08

Oops - must add, currently suggested placement doesn't do it for me. I'd go front and centre, slightly smaller. A shiny gold bar is never going to be subtle and tucked away in a corner... (5$).

TommyJoel on Jul 23 '08

NICE

mewey on Jul 23 '08

Maybe some shine/shading so it doesn't look like butter.
But even before I got the pun, I still loved it. Nice work.

aseretkavon on Jul 24 '08

maybe do gold foil AND the 24k? I'd really dig it that way :) and actually no, I did NOT think butterfish when I saw it because I thought the shape of it was convincing enough to be a gold bar off the bat, but I know people that would think butterfish instead. As it is now, 4$, but if 24k is added, or it's printed in foil, or even a combination of both, 5$ all the way (if I could afford it, ha)

ladyasianeyez on Jul 24 '08

it does kind of look like a stick of butter, but i still $5 it.

quister on Jul 24 '08

The gold ink would totally say gold and not butter. Foil would work even better. No doubt in my mind that every viewer would get the gold fish riddle. Great work. $5
