About the design
on September 21, 2005
The trick with this image was creating parodies of iconic images, different enough to avoid legal mumbo jumbo and similar enough to evoke strong memories. The idea was simply that the record was afraid of becoming obsolete like the cassette so its trying to stop file sharing in an effort to go platinum and kick the "ghosters" @$$...also some people may think I used an extra color but its really the shirts color. Enjoy, and let me know what you think.

the record is alot like a wakeskate companys logo called cassette but other than that its a 4

the fact that you had to write that much to explain it means the concept isn't clear enough. i like the idea of shirts with cassette or records, but i think you've got too much going on here. also, is the blue thing meant to be the napster symbol?

definetly too much going on...someone please explain the meaning behind this shirt

I think...that this shirt would be better minus the napster/ghost thing, and minus the thought bubble. I like just the Pac-Man parody. Not reading into it, not giving it any hidden meanings, just have a record. As Pac-Man.

Anyone seen the Napster adds? Kinda similar.

I understand that you need it for the files, but I wish the shirt could be a different color. Maybe the shirt same shade of blue as "Ghoster" napster thingy, and then you could use the golden color separately for the files. That would work, technically, and I think the blue would be a better color overall for the shirt itself.

Although the design is simple and interesting, the concept is too confusing.. it doesn't come across.

i do like the pac man inspired theme... hmm, some how the ghost's blue seems too bold on the golden shirt, maybe a not so standard blue would work better?
