What will future civilizations have to remember us by?

hey everyone, this is my first design posted on threadless. comments and crits greatly appreciated

this is pretty funny, id buy it

gah i h8 ipods, but this is kool

Mwah! That's hilarious. I'd buy it.

haha! that's a funny idea.

hahahaha the more i look at it the funnier it gets. i like the dude with the tongue. it reminds me of that thing in your bathroom that scares me.

that's hilarious

would be really neat if there was a gameboy or/and a computer thingie ;P
great idea, tho ;]

that's awesome. what if there were iPod shuffles dancing in a circle around the totem too?

thanks for all the comments everyone

the last two suggestions would be pretty funny...
i made it with only ipods because the design was originally for a case i made for my ipod (yes. i have an ipod of my own. i hope no one scores more harshly because of it ; ) also, ipods are so huge now that the "all ipod" image just reaafirms the idea that ipods are taking over the world, and something to make a totem to

and while the image of dancing shuffles would be hilarious, it doesn't fit in with the wired contest theme. unless in the future shuffles can dance? hmmm...

I think the orange-brown of the ipods clashes with the brown of the shirt, maybe you should make them match better?

what is it with people and ipod obsession. i have one, i love it, i use it, i dont put it on tshirts. please stop this, this is just about the lowest of the low idea. i want to punch the ipod in the face for ever being invented when i see this shirt

^ Damn, anger issues

Like the idea, not sure about the colors

goldfish:
i have an ipod as well, and i also enjoying using it, but i am not obsessed. This shirt is more about mocking the whole ipod obsession in general. As for the lowest of the low idea, well at least i didn't put drips on it. Sorry breaking your ipod

also... for those who would like to see alternate color combinations:

What colors do you think would look nice?

i love this shirt. its so weird. $5

there should be other things on there besides ipods

there are alot of ipod motifs and i dont understand why, yeah they are popular and technological but i really dont see them defining the future, or is that just me?

noo... is that ipods?? Thats not funny

lol - not at the design it's self at the ipods lol

This is a really fun concept, but I agree with the other posters about the colors. What's so distinctive about the iPod is its surgically clean, bar-of-soap whiteness. Your design looks like a totem at first glance, then begins to look like a stack of Ipods. It might work better if it first looked like a stack of iPods, then turned into a totem. (If that makes sense.)

there's iPods everywhere !

interesting, but i don't know why anyone would want this on a shirt.

thank s, originally this design was made for a homemade fleece ipod case. A lot of people really liked the image so i decided to make a version for a tshirt. I did got some responses back from people who said they would buy it ^ and that's sucess enough for me

voting is almost over! thanks everyone who took time to score this entry. new entry should be up shortly!

hello there. this is my first post...
the idea of this t-shirt is genius in that it illustrates the commodity fetishism which is taken to the level of worshipping it somehow...
a good attempt at design by which we could start building our ideas about future perhaps a little more ciritically.

the concept is truly hilarious, and i love the art of the totem faces. it's like their spirits are trapped inside the ipods and they are looking out. hahaha. i agree that the brown shades clash a bit. also, i would be interested in seeing the design with the totem bright white like an ipod--that would either make it better or ruin it. great shirt; i'd buy it.
