I don't think germans will like it... sorry man, I personally don't like the stereotyped world we live in. I'm sure you can do it better next time ;)

bengineer on Nov 30 '09 sorry, but this is super-stupid. i'm german...
|
|
And btw, in Spain there's no bulls walking on the street, and bullfights is a cruel tradition that a lot of spanish people hates.
|
 |
o.O
i didnt mean to offend anyone. sorry if i did. . |
 |
yep, i think you managed to offend everyone with this. Those wearing it would just be showing off their cultural ignorance.
|
|
how do u take down a submission? i dont want to offend anyone else nemore lols.
|
 |
next time focus on the positive aspects of every country instead of their political history
|
 |
oh snap
|
|
just trying to help
|
 |
keep it real and find the humorous side of things, think and plan each concept. keep it up tho! this concept has potential! check me slogans plz!

FRICKINAWESOME on Dec 01 '09 I can't see Israel, is it made of bagels?
|
 |
nice concept, poor choice of icons. why is The United States represented by a flag, while the majority of Africa looks like South Park characters? Germany and Russia need more contemporary icons, and you should try to give more detail views if you resubmit this.
|
 |
africa seems pretty racist,idea is cool but some of the places u symbolized with European union flag havent been in European union,ur idea is good but your symbols suck in fact,u can find better ones like pyramids and icy mountains..
|
 |
i adore your concept... but i tend to think it would be better to just have one or two "racy" symbols, and have the rest be more... well, positive... and accurate for that matter. i really think you have a good idea, so i hope you reconsider your symbol choices.

Jesse Jacobs on Dec 01 '09 haha what the fuck?
|
 |
nice idea.. but the german thing..uhhh fail
|
 |
Aphte on Dec 01 '09 i learnt alot about geography through the process of designing
Haha. |
 |
wow, this design is wicked, aside from the fact that I'm obsessed with maps, I would definitely buy it :) $5
check out mine if you please |
 |
I love the design and I think you should resubmit it without the swastikas. Perhaps use German sausages!

Peachbeach on Dec 01 '09 WTF????
|
 |
I like it. :)
|
 |
Man, dont listen anyone, nice idea :)
|
|
thx guys, i spend alot of time into this, mite change it. to make it less offensive and racist... and see the positive aspects of each country... thx for the advice guys.
|
|
would appreciate it if i can get some advice on wat to use for the country symbols, like german = ? africa = ?
thx ! |
|
beer ;)
|
|
Good idea, but it's pretty offensive. D: I liked the concept until I looked at the images close up, lulz.
|
 |
whats in brazil??
|
 |
I think if you stick with similar icons to fill in the countries, you'll be fine. If you use all foods, or flags, or whatever, you'll be fine. Definitely stay away from anything racist or generally offensive, and it'll all be good. Your concept leaves nothing to be desired, just the execution needed a bit of a turn. :)
How 'bout beer steins for Germany??? |
 |
ooh thats really awesome. love to see more of the details upclose but looks great. are there two placement options? i like it all on the front but thats just me.
|
 |
I think its a neat idea. Maybe it would be better if all the countries were represented by their flags.
|
|
You've hit on a great idea. Just tweak the icons in a few places. Don't agree that flags would have the same effect. #bcrider and #badgerman nailed it with beer steins or sausages...
|
|
thanks for the advice, mite do a resubmisson later on, but definitely no more controversial icons haha
|
 |
 |
love the koala bears, love the concept. only part i'd change is germany, perhaps africa. regardless, you're mad talented.
|
 |
hmm nazi flag..
|
 |
for the critical potentialities, destabilizing; for the ability to create debate and exchange of ideas; source of trouble and contrast: good work.
|
|
don't get put down by the comments, i personally really like this :)
I am especially liking the concept for this. seems like you put in alot of work. KEEP IT UP! |
 |
ugh. :(
|
|
also change the communist symbol in Russia.
btw- Africa isn't a country ;P |
 |
wow. monkeys for africa? bowls of rice for china? dude this is all kinds of bad and not in a good way. but what are the white sticks around the balkans?

wow, this design rocks, i'll buy it for sure when threadless will print it.. italy is represented by pizzas, germany by nazis and half of the nations of the world are not even represented: is me or is it true that this t-shirt symbolizes exactly what all of us think about the world?
5, $! |
