great face, great lettering... but i just can't get past the age-old message.

How is it a witty twist? The phrase is " I went to ______ and all I got was this lousy t-shirt." He's just using the phrase again. I mean I like the Lenin picture on there and the joke and all, but it isn't a witty twist.

Read it again....
" ...and all EVERYONE got was this lousy..."

BRILLIANT! I'd consider reworking the bubble so you don't have to hyphinate the everyone. $5 for sure

your a poor soul, with less luck than you deserve. i'm going to give you a 5 out of sympathy, but also because i did quite enjoy the use of that frustratingly pitiful phrase. pre-7th july i wanted to do an "i survived" T-shirt, relating to the vulnerability of the london underground and the countdown to its' attack. didn't have the balls then, and certainly don't now

Nope...
I've seen more of these socalled witty twists on this slogan.
They all become a cliche.

Everybody changed the slogan duh.

twniehaus ,

I remember your other design this one is based on,
and your improvements are very impressive.

I think Suciu's comment about the hyphenated
"everyone" has substance.

I agree about getting rid of the hyphen - other than that, it's terrific. I laughed when I read it...the phrase is cliche, but that's why everyone who sees it will "get" it, unlike some of the shirts on here.

Amazing. There should be more shirts with Lenin. ha

Also, the phrase is awesome, and made me laugh. 5 in my book

reminds me of family guy or american dad line i forget.
but the line was "in communist russia car drives you!'

AaronCanipe on Aug 28 '05

Blick on Aug 28 '05
Ava Adore, that'd be Family Guy. It's actually a line from a Russian comedian that just about every show in history has referenced to at one time or another. I wouldn't be surprised if American Dad has already said it. but that will remain a mystery since no one watches American Dad.

Nice text work. Amusing shirt. Good use of color.

There was a very similar yellow shirt with this design, only the writing was actually in Russian.

I enjoy the novelty of the slogan, but I've already seen this design.

thanks for ruining my world record.

For the record, verynifty didn't make the entire idea, he simply tweaked it and said I could use the part he had changed.

I want this shirt more than life itself.
irtehfox
irtehfox on Sep 02 '05
I agree with the guy who says "and all everyone got" instead of "all i got" but I think the lettering should be more formal and constrained, I think maybe a lettering style which might be more accurate of the period, would contrast with the message
