Blue snacks, the fist like this, and that link, have been used a lot before. When I saw this I first thought of the green day's american idiot album cover, but that's also because of the color.



I think your design is a little too simple now. But the concept and this basic representation are good, but this could be improved on, too. I think that the money isn't completely recognizeable as money right now. Another color (green) could be used to add more distinction to it and opens up the possibility for more. I think my problem with the money is the thick black outline. I know that money has that kind of border, but this comes off somewhat awkward.



What you have, though does work well. I really like the position and angle of the fist and the star. They shouldn't be changed, but more could be added. Research socialist propaganda posters and I'm sure you could find a way to make this really awesome.

Gotta agree that the money could be clearer. (not by making it green) It may be interesting though to see this whole thing in black and green (instead of red). Otherwise, excellent! Who doesn't love socialism?

mk first off, the cash design is a little hard to make out. and also the design is a wee bit small.

BUT MORE IMPORTANTLY even though we live in a capitalist society, no, elitism isn't all that good. Good enough for praise, maybe, but not to completly flaunt it. Communism has proven that it sucks fairly majorly (at least with past, and probably future US policy). China is another good example: it could easily be a giant North Korea, and was a few decades back. But they embraced capitalism, and it has helped their nation signifigantly. At the same time, capitalism and a free market has done damage over time. Capitalism entails losers. and that sucks. It might be very trustefarian, but it does. I wish I had more intellectual horsepower to go deeper, and I know this might be in sarcastic good fun but still. And again, I'm not against democracy and/or capitalism. It might not be perfect, but it's better than anything else.



Aside from the psuedo-intellectual bullshit, the pentragram design of the star is also interesting.

I like it, simple but it makes a funny/ twisted statement. Id like it more if the star was straight up... and if the money stood out a little bit more. Maybe if the bill was GREEN?

The shirt can't possibly be about socialism if the title says Viva la Elite. Socialism is about decreasing the economic gap- not celebrating it. Boo.
