The hands of the people beat as the one heart of democracy

Ohhh...they're a human heart. I didn't catch that until I read the description.

I don't think the geometry reads as a heart. I had to read the title to understand what I was looking at.

I think you'd have to be absolutely obsessed with hearts to see the heart in this design.

Nice concept but very hard to do well.

On the heart-ness issue - perhaps both red and blue arteries/veins (capillaries?) might make it more obvious? And is the positioning accurate relative to actual heart? It probably is, but a million other teeshirts convince me it's further to the viewer's right. This is currently the best of the democracy concepts I've seen, it just needs to be a little more self-explanatory.

It's really hard to see a heart in this, people should be able to see it at first sight. 3

I don't see the heart.

Yeah, I saw the heart once I read it, but otherwise it just looks weird.

at first I thought they were just holding hands

w-wh-whut? O.o

i see the heart but i think it's kind of hard to see cuz the hands are big. you should try to make it with smaller hands as the heart and use the regular fingers as the heart valves

I'm not too crazy about the design.. concept's pretty good, but I'm just not feeling it. I did think I should point out, however, that I didn't read the description or title and I *did* figure out it was a heart. It took half a second while I went "but... what are the hands *doing*?" but it's not impossible to see the heart with no explaination. :)

Awesome idea :)

i have to disagree with most of you
i saw the heart almost instantly
i love it
great work
