Japan's New Dress Code
About the design
on June 17, 2005
This is my tribute to the new "Dress Code" in Japan.
Earlier this month Japanese Prime Minister Junichiro Koizumi (pictured above) launched a dress-down campaign to ease global warming; and to assist in everyone looking and feeling cooler - literally!
Take a sec to zoomy zoom and check the (optional) reverse side design. Also, that arrow in the middle is probably optional as well.

How about one with two asian chicks?

quirky & cool, especially using the japanese sun for the 'o' in 'down' i'd buy it in pink; i'd also like to see the 'no ties' icon a little bigger on the back. hmm. doing one with 2 asian chicks is also a great idea, especially if you take the 'dress down' concept as far as community standards allow.

i have to say i love the golden orange you've chosen as one of your colors. this shirt is not only clever, but it's asthetically pleasing as well. good job mein freund!

Does anyone else see 5 colors?
Black, white, red, grey, peach...? I don't think this could survive without any one of these colors.

ahh.. you're right. I quickly whipped up a 4-color version you can check out here: http://img298.echo.cx/img298/7042/dressdown4col3nz.gif
I can not believe I missed that. Duh...

Ugh...people going "oooh, Asian chicks" smacks of creepy fetishes to me...

nothing like a little foreign propaganda to spice up your wardrobe...I dunno. Something about this design just kind of weirds me out. It's nicely done though, 3.
Skitty
ok and I just relaized how moronic that sounded. I meant to say that the lines look nice. As a piece of pop art, it's very attractive.

Great way to incorporate the new thing in China where they conserve energey and it's really hot, so they need to dress down. Very smart.
dorkeh
h/o I thought the dress down thing was china. I just the furst post xp oops.

what? wtf news are you reading? It's the Toyota company that's changed their dress code, not the whole coutry. of Japan.
Operator
Wrong. Sorry. It's a Nationwide Campaign. Go to news.google.com or news.yahoo.com and search for "Koizumi dress" or "Japan dress down" or .. well.. you get the idea ;) You'll also see some articles about tie-makers concern over the new campaign, heh.
Kallen
Ahh. I see. I like th eidea, the design is relativley decent, but i don't like the scale or style of the text. The characters are well done, but i think the background is a bit uninspired. I'd like to see a few more variations of this before I'd consider buying it
meganeko
Haha, like the tribute. Design doesn't flow as smoothly as I would like though.
