I drew the outlines by hand, scanned the pencil drawing, and cleaned up the vectors after auto-tracing in Corel Draw. It took me many, many hours, but I think the result is cool and worth the work. I was inspired by the 1960s San Francisco / Bill Graham rock scene posters.

cool design...not sure about the message.

I second that last comment.
I do like the way it is set up, and the color choices.

agree. message isn't the best, but the layout is great.

I don't like a lot of words and I don't like mispelled words. It's aesteicaly (sp?) pleasing but I doubt anyone would take the time to try to read it.

"I don't like mispelled words."

I don't see what you're talking about.

I wouldn't mind wearing the shirt and I do like it.

It just looks like a big square on a shirt. Eh.

"I don't like mispelled words."

Are you talking about "favourite"?
That's not mispelled.

I like it.

Keep in mind, it's only going to look like a "big square on a shirt" if you're looking at it from across the street. There is a pixel limit, and the images have to be small.

Take time to look at the images in the design. There are more than just words.

Also, recognize "favourite" (even though I am an American designer) is an attempt at globalization of Threadless. It's more of a political statement than anything.

I love it. Maybe the staff will think it's kitschy and good advertising for their company. :)

to the dude who doesn't like "mispelled" words... you misspelled misspelled. and aesthetically.

I like the face at the end of "week"... that's supposed to be a face, right?

i like it 4

^^ yes, it's a face!

i really luike the grey with the teal.

i like your typograhy schaden!

coxiesara, ever hear of the British?

The image next to the word "wear" looks like an American flag to me.

If it isn't just me thinking that: why spell the British way?

Groovy.

Good hippy text.

i like. this 80's grovvy theme is cool.

this may be my favourite.....and i like the black and white colour scheme...

yay for british spelling.

This would not be one of my favourite threadless shirts. It would definitely look mushy from a distance.

This isn't supposed to be your favorite Threadless shirt.

The shirt says, "Official Wear Your Favourite Threadless T-Shirt Day • Week • Year • 2006"

Meaning, it's like a designated holiday to wear your favorite design. Whether it be this one (today), or a few others (for a designated weeklong threadless holiday), or all of them you own (for "wear your favourite threadless t-shirt year") It's a promotional tool.

People, take some acid or something (kidding) ---- expand your mind!

(Note: If you stare at the design long enough, it becomes 3-D, and you will see Jefferson Airplane live at the Fillmore.)

I like it. And the note provided by the creator above. I also hear that if you email it to 10 of your friends, this totally hilarious video will pop up and omg lol!! :) Just kidding. Great design. 5.

5.
go hippies!

Print this, Threadless.... I'm penniless and naked..... NAKED I SAY!

Eh, why pay 20 dollars to be a promotional tool?

i'd like this design a lot better if it wasn't just constrained to the box-shape, it if was all over the shirt i think it would be pretty sweet

Well, thanks for the feedback. I did say that it was inspired by promotional rock posters, which are rectangular and "promotional" by their very nature.

Threadless has printed their name on shirts before, and I think someone, somewhere, bought it and wore it.

Oh well, thanks anyway, I still like it.
