I think this would look better without text... but that's just my taste!

@bloatedwindbag: I thought about not placing the text, but I felt the design alone only conveyed a sense of friendship and not enough "best friendship foreverness." Although in hindsight, I should have added a lot more pizazz to the text.

I agree about the text. It looks more like an afterthought and not really incorporated into the design. The drawing is too awesome to have text like that. And pink is good, but I also like the baby blue.

They look more like Nicole Richie and Paris Hilton.

@GreenRabbit: No, it's Mary Kate and Ashley. Nicole and Paris are too skinny. I think they shave down their bones. I didn't want to send the wrong message here to impressionable young minds.

Hmm maybe less text instead of no text. What about just "BFF" smaller and underneath the design? Maybe have it follow the bottom curve of the circle? Then the design could be moved up higher on the shirt. Normally I am against superfluous text but I think you need it here to sell the idea.

Thank you everybody! @christiandark: I've also seen better, and it was without text. The people have spoken!

I like it, nice twist on the skull illos, just shorten the text to BFF and I think it would be really cool.

I agree with the BFF suggestion, or at least something shorter like "Friends Forever," because anything over about 3 syllables detracts from the image. The size of the text could also be contributing to that issue, so maybe consider playing with different sizes (or fonts, or choosing to wrap the words more tightly around the shape of the image...). Also, I feel like your choice of T colors is sort of "off" in an unsellable way... Those colors *could* work if you chose a darker design/ink color to make it pop, but you might be better off choosing a palette that's not quite as teeny-bopper-ish.



Phew! Sorry, I know that was a lot-- that's my 10 cents right there. I'm only giving so much of a critique because I really think your concept is fantastic, exactly the sort of odd mix of sweet/cute/funny and creepy that often appeals to Threadless folks. I think you can do a lot more with this. Good luck! :)

Thank you, sweet, adorable citizens of Threadless. If I get the chance, I'll remove the text and place the design higher and make it smaller. Because I love you xoxoxo - Destructomatic
