let's all hope drips, circles and arrows aren't the next step in design evolution.

yeah i know... it sucks.

a lot.

always good to know you agree gerald :)

now does anybody have some constructive critisism? i'd apreiciate it

I think the pixelization can use some work. The pixes should be on the inside as well as the outside of the forms, and I'd stay away from white, they look more like cut-outs than pixelized. Its a good concept.
Lose the text. Completely lose the text, its so beyond redundant I cant express how beyond redundant it is.

The thing that makes arrows, x's and circles aesthetically successful in other designs are their combination with other elements, and their overtaking of images, recreating and commenting on the aural and visual confusion that comes with the rapid expansion of media, information and digitalization in our society. I'm hoping that this doesn't become an overused concept (it only works in designs that I've seen that implement it hinting at this idea, or other ideas, or some idea that works and is not just aesthetic), but it totally applies to this concept. Personally I think that the circles should begin at the first ape and progress into a complex amalgamation of circles, arrows, blah blah blah telling you exactly what to do blah blah blah do it my way blah I'm so fucking smart blah blah.
Whatever, hope it helps.

wow! thank you! that helped a lot!

Cool, no problem.

But I'm totally stealing my idea for a design, so if you see a monkey-man design that looks like I described, well, deal :)

Ah ha ha, fucking brilliant Mr Puppy.
and to fn0rdianslip - circles arrows and drips NEVER work.
EVER.

Can everyone please leave them alone and do something original, except you Mr Puppy, you may keep taking the piss.

I like it :) It would definitely be improved by losing the text and making the degenerate forms black and grey only, without the messy white stuff.

actually I think circles arrows etc DID work very very well. The reason everyone is sick of them is because they got used way too much. back in the day there was awesome work using what are now cliched elements
You cant really use them seriously anymore tho i dont think
but there should deffinately be more pisstakes

my friend yuto says he might of bought that tee if he saw in the shops today; so it must be clicking some peoples boots. I personally just see it as a nice design so keep up the good work :)

how about making the guy on the right the "man" symbol/icon, as seen on toilet doors the world over?

Overall I think it's a valid concept. I agree that the pixelization could use some work and possibly forego the text. But I like the overall idea. I would be scared to wear this shirt, fearing that someone would punch me in my left kidney, for all the arrows pointing at it.

Keep the text but have the letters dissolve around "tio" when people decided to quit reading.

wow, i just like know no one has looked at this in like, over a year now, but i would just like to inform the world that i happen to be a Ms. Puppy. thank you very much. >_<

I looked at it. Ha.
