I like this design--very clever.
BloodyMidget
BloodyMidget on Apr 27 '06
clever but I think that I would like to see this a little bit more outrageous. Maybe have someone who is being hogtied by red tape with an Agent Smith standing over him holding the rest of the roll or something like that...

what's that red thing the suit is holding? I can't see it. Is it just a red arm??

Great shirt. You did really well with the color and shadow.
Retrac
Retrac on Apr 27 '06
I like this a lot, but the red tie makes it harder to make out the roll of tape, i think. And I'm not sure whether or not I like the tape at the bottom... but I'm leaning towards liking it.

Larcin on Apr 27 '06
I agree with Retrac - perhaps a black tie instead? I'd still buy it though!

It'd be really cool if the title were interacting more the rest of the design. Otherwise I like it.

I love this! Great use of shadows and negative space, I agree with some others that if it were a black tie it would make the tape pop more, but it's not confusing at all to me. Plus it would make the beurocrats seem more boring, the red tie gives them a bit of flair. Great shirt!

It's so grim! I can almost hear his desperate breathing as he readies his trusty safety-scissors for a bloodied-yet-sedate escape.

Because you never run with scissors. Remember that, kiddies.

maybe change the color of the tie so it doesn't blend in, probably would have to be black though because another color would make 5

Beautiful. A non-red tie for the Bureaucrat would clarify though.

ironmaus
ironmaus on May 02 '06
Brilliant concept. I would also buy it with no text and I have one itsty bitsy suggestion: change the color on the bureaucrats tie. As it stands, it makes the roll of red tape look weirdly lumpy. Besides, bureaucrats all wear black ties. I think it's a more powerful message if only the tape is red.
violetvoid
violetvoid on May 02 '06
great design.. make the guys tie black and you have a winner
outlawpencil
outlawpencil on May 02 '06
Nice concept! I think the tape could be a little clearer, and I agree with some of the posts that you could do without the text.

I'm not going to waste my time spelling it out, this is just plain idiotic. Stop trying to be cool, maybe one day you won't be such a nerd.
dutchcook
dutchcook on May 03 '06
Thank you everyone for your comments and kind words. Agree with many points said relating to tie colour and removal of type, am flexible on acting on these. As it stands, the red tie was chosen to differentiate the Bureaucrat as a different 'force' to that of the grey tied office worker - though this isn't necessarily crucial, and would lend more clarity to the tape roll if it was a different colour (ie grey or black). My only reason for including the type was to just hammer the idea home, but maybe on reflection it's being far too obvious about it.

Many thanks again...

Good job with the negative/positive space.
The red tape in dudes hand IS hard to see. I thought it was a penis gun until I read the comments.
