great idea!

TYP on Jun 12 '06

yay its finally up after a week of waiting *dances*

groundcontrol on Jun 12 '06

5$ on sage.

joecacola on Jun 12 '06

$5 for sure. like the "facial hair club for men" sub, I can point to a spot on my shirt to signify what I currently am. Incredible.

Jennifuhrer on Jun 12 '06

i really like this.
$5

bananaphone on Jun 12 '06

just a design tip for you, text shouldnt be on a slant of more than 10 degrees if theres a bit of it, the real for you putting this on a slant seems a little stupid and redundant.

Jenn.Pollack on Jun 12 '06

Neat!

TYP on Jun 12 '06

huh? all the text isnt tilted in any way...

Holmzy on Jun 12 '06

The whole shirt is at an angle, not the text. Anyway $5!!!!

human_no110289 on Jun 12 '06

love it love it love it
buy it in a heart beat

Jane Hidell on Jun 12 '06

Definite buy on any of the earthtones. Love it!

LHerron on Jun 12 '06

I don't see any slanted text either. Very nice, $5

NGMason on Jun 12 '06

Very original, and humorous...haha $5

inayellowsub on Jun 12 '06

yesss this is cool...maybe you could make the text a wee bit larger?

xypherscompany on Jun 13 '06

love the idea! i want one >D

TYP on Jun 13 '06

*is overwhelmed by people actually liking something i did for once*

thearsenalofmegadeth on Jun 13 '06

Not exactly innovative, and breaks copyright.

theholysquid on Jun 13 '06

How is this not innovative? This has to be the best design ive seen today! $5 on banana or the pale green. The logo isnt really central to the design so it could easily be removed or modified.. I want this tee now! Print iiiit! You rock TYP!

TYP on Jun 13 '06

Uhh.. thanks. :)

TCEuk on Jun 13 '06

$4 i love the idea but i the red, yellow and navy of the design.. but that's just a personal preference, and i'd probabally buy it as it is.

poofie on Jun 13 '06

awesome! I like it on any blue, sage, (not heather) grey. $5

GenViper on Jun 13 '06

Very clever! I like white, and the bottom right one.

em aye el on Jun 13 '06

pyrhe on Jun 13 '06

realy like it! 5$, the best design i've seen here in quite a while.
now i want this in my closet.

suspiria on Jun 13 '06

to me this is like "follow it" remixed with that one with the person waiting for the flight ("depression: on time")

i don't care for either

nats on Jun 14 '06

brilliant :)

deathdrinkscoffee on Jun 14 '06

I love the design, but I don't want people to have to stick their face in my chest to be able to read it... maybe make it a little bigger since life doesn't have a zoom in function =)

Thickblueink on Jun 14 '06

clever indeed, with the intersection of emotions, but i think it's too much like "walk instead"

joel_zimmer on Jun 14 '06

I'd like to see it bigger, maybe spanning all of the shirt? but i really like it.

tesco on Jun 14 '06

would be so much better if you'd used the correct font

thepinkdagger on Jun 14 '06

This is just amazing... even without spending $30 on a font which wont change much. Dont listen to people who claim that its the same as this and that just because they were based around some sort of map and thats it.. this is one of the best and most innovative designs ive seen recently. Its already a $6.. make the text a little bigger and there is no way this isnt a winner. Come on threadless, print this!

TYP on Jun 14 '06

thanks for all the comments.. obviously the design will be a lil bigger once its put on a tshirt, but making text bigger isnt exactly a big job if it is wanted..

Tesco, if you pay the $30 ill add your precious font.

tesco on Jun 14 '06

It's not my precious font, it's Edward Johnston's. Much as this design is Henry Beck's.

staffell on Jun 14 '06

hahaha

i carnt spel on Jun 14 '06

toasted nicley toasted

maxandglad on Jun 14 '06

It's not as cool as this:

theholysquid on Jun 14 '06

i like this one better : ) Its just... better. Start selling this already! Im getting impatient... and where's my thesaurus...

bluedelirium on Jun 14 '06

I would totally buy it if the ink colors were different... not so primary.

chocolatte on Jun 14 '06

I don't know if you know this but there is a book called Graphic Design for the 21st century and in it, you'll find a design very similar to this. It's not identical though. It's called the Train of Thought (the trouble map of London). It was a map made for The Barbican's JAM 2 exhibition. It was made in the year 2002. People tend to think up the same designs.

So I guess it's original for you, but not for the world. Your's is definately more colorful though. :)

If you care, it's in the book http://www.taschen.com/pages/en/catalogue/books/design/all/facts/03931.htm

ludicrous louisa on Jun 15 '06

This is like "the great bear" , which is that artworl that maxandglad linked to.

injection on Jun 15 '06

Very nice and very clever. $5.

Nunu666 on Jun 15 '06

Great. I'd like to see it in white $5

lellie on Jun 15 '06

I love this.. The white/light blue are most fitting to underground style.. but I also like it on the light green..

I've always loved the underground and this is an excellent example - print it!

maxandglad: that music underground map is very clever - even the lines match up to the artist's genres.

infamous_kitten on Jun 16 '06

I ABSOLUTELY love it!
