 sorry what?
|
 |
fantastic!! good luck.
|
 |
It took me a second to get it but now that I do this is hilarious! I like! And I wouldn't wear it but I would buy it for a computer nerd in my life.
|
 |
would like to see some different shirt colour options.
|
 |
I don't get it
|
 |
close the windows? I'm not sur eif thats it
|
 |
i wish i got this!
|
 |
don't get it, but i still like it somehow
|
|
hmm, i don't know, would i ruin it by trying to explain it?
|
 |
gaah, I don't get it. maybe you should explain it, since this is a design contest and not a riddle. :P
|
|
well here goes.
it's not a riddle really, it's probably a let-down after i explain. it's basically old [ugly] Windows buttons and new [shiny] Windows buttons, with the new one staring at the old. If you're a Mac user then you woudln't get it. But if you've been a Windows user for the past 5-10 years then you should .... at least after reading this! |
 |
I think it's really funny now, but i wouldn't have got it without the explination; still a really good idea in my opinion.
|
 |
haha its quite funny, love the concept, and i would get it for myself since mac people (or those who never noticed the change in windows) didnt get it =D
|
|
ha, this is actually what I was thinking it means, but it looks like the minimize button is talking to the tilted one next to it, and not the grey ones on the left. confused me a little. maybe you should make it more obvious, that the old windows buttons are looking at the new design.
|
 |
the "X" button on the new side should be red
|
|
halo8, the minimize button "is" talking to the tilted one next to it. It's telling it to quit staring at "old people" cuz it's not nice to stare.
Lefty, that would break the 4-color limit rule. It's already using 4 colors not counting the white, that's why it can only be printed on white shirts (answers morganian as well). |
|
Aaah, d'oh. See, I thought that old windows is jealous at sleak new windows. Nevermind, I'm slow. :D (Oh and you can use 5 colours now.)
|
 |
i definitely got it... very funny indeed., great concept
|
 |
cute. i like it but maybe on a different shirt color
|
 |
I got it, and I'm a Mac user. :-P Cute.
|
|
I got it without the explanation! HE HE HE it's hilarious. A different color shirt would ruin the whole point. Man this is funny on all levels.
|
 |
legofish, Threadless is allowing 5 colors until Jan 1st 2007. So maybe you could redo it with 5 colors and resubmit. If you do resubmit, then I think you should turn the speech balloons' tail toward the minimize button. I thought the full-open button (middle blue) was the one talking.
|
|
urm...
i thought it may be a boob joke somehow at first, but then i realized that the maximize wasn't the one talking... i'd fix the text bubble... or maybe rework to be a boob joke. |
 |
Haha, took me a while. I LOVE IT. Though I'll probably gift it for a nerd.
|
 |
at first I also thought that the button was talking to the one next to him, but telling him to quit starting. After your explanation I got it, and it's funny. Maybe not so straight, but funny
|
 |
I got it the second i saw it. $5
|
 |
I understood very well and Im even a mac user. Maybe you could turn the minumize button to be looking at the other buttons, then the full screen button could be saying it.
Things you could work on could be using black or blue or grey as your t shirt and then manipulating the design colors to work with that shirt color. You could also think of a more dynamic design or environment that they are in. Maybe less linear. I like the idea its sort of funny.\ in a quirky little way. |
|
Yes also took me a while to get. But I did it before the official explanation. I am so proud of myself! You could totally put this on a black tshirt without violating the 4 clours rule.
|
 |
Love it.
|
 |
whats with the mac user dissing going on around here huh? just cuz i got a mac im stoopid? its like mac-racism... i'm gonna call the aclu
|
 |
huh?
|
|
I thought that it was a breast joke. It works as one as well.
|
 |
I got it immediately. Great, for us nerds at least.
|
 |
nonolarson on Nov 29 '06 Héhé really nice. ^^
|
 |
that's boo-ie
with your GUIs |
 |
it's staring because they're old? I thought it was supposed to be: the maximize window and the minimize window are in a relationship and the minimize window is jealous because the maximize window is staring at another girl/guy
|
|
I use both and wish macs had a "no 3d eye-candy buttons" options. I still rock windows with the old 98 style. Hollerific.
|
 |
i thought this was another play on the fact that guys stare at the middle section of a lady walking down the street, and the guy window icons were checking out the girl icons, so that when people would see the "stop staring" they'd think that they had been caught looking at some boobies. Anyway, none of the explanations on this page make this design any more interesting. I think there is just not enough to it, and no amount of re-design would get your point across easily and with more oomph. sorry.
|
 |
I got it the first time I saw it. Good idea.
|
 |
I absolutely love this, and got it without your explanation. However, like what Helo said, I think the tail should be pointing to the minimize button, because I got the impression that the maximize button was the one speaking.
I love it! =] |
 |
this is hilarious.
|
 |
Geek. I'm buying this.
|
 |
Maybe it would make more sense if the old button was saying "quit staring" or if the (new)minimize button was the one staring and the (new)maximize button was telling the minimize to "quit staring -- The way you have it, it looks like the (new)maximize button is staring at the (new)minimize button, and the (new)minimize button doesn't want to be stared at. The other buttons seem superfluous.
|
 |
LOL. Most geekish! Nice one.
|
 |
it's cute =)
|
 |
after you explained it i got it, my X button is red though :(
|
|
Haha, I enjoyed the joke :)
Yea, I think it'd be a good improvement if the x was red. |
 |
0$
|
|
i like it - but instead of "quit staring", maybe "its rude to stare"
|
|
and top line of the staring box should be lined up differently- at the same angle as the bottom one.
|
 |
i like it
|
 |
Oooooh... I didn't get it at first, but I was reading it "Quit starting". Clever.
|
 |
I definitly got this at the very beginning...well done
|
 |
awesome...i got it and im virtually computer illiterate, very funny
|
 |
It looks like the new maximize button is staring at the new minimize button - maybe the min. button should be the one staring? I didn't get it at first.
|
|
I hated the XP themes until I found about the hidden Royale Noir theme.
You can learn more about it at: http://duggmirror.com/design/Hidden_XP_Theme/ And you can download the .rar file at: http://www.gigasize.com/get.php/142770/royalenoir.rar |
 |
mac vs pc?
|
 |
After I looked at it for a while I got it. But make the new-minimize button the one that is staring and the new-maximize button the one to tell it to knock it off.
|
|
thanks for all the comments. Yeah I realize now that switching the positition of the blue minimize and blue maximize buttons would have made the joke more understandable. Sometimes when you have an idea like this in your head it becomes trivially obvious and you don't think about the details.
Also, perhaps adding a "at them" at the end of the speech could clarify it ... "stop staring at them". Anyway, thanks for all the comments. |
|
by the way, thanks to ogier for the royale noir theme info, it's really cool and it's my new theme :)
|
 |
you know, i first thought it was windows vs mac.. O.o guess not.. i still ♥ ♥ ♥ it! ♥ Kia.
|
 |
funny! i just don't like the overload of white on the shirt, but i wouldn't know what color to change the shirt to..
|
 |
hahaha close the windows!!
|
 |
windows vs. mac would be great too xD
|
|
and oh dang, I just realized why it looked wrong; I always keep my windows in maximized mode so I never see the maximize button xD
|
 |
maybe a pronoun would help solve everyone's confusion. Like "Dont' stare at them," or "It's not thir fault" or something? Right now the left looks just there, and the right looks like the open window is staring at the minimal, I thought it was a sex joke I didn't get.
|
|
yes Erynn, a simple "dont stare at them" would have fixed everything
