I agree with you, Spiff on the better execution, but you also have to figure that the Obey designs are more recent and technology has come a long way in 10-15 years.
but fuck it... I have an Obey shirt.

I know alot of folk who would like to have words with shep. I don't keep up with the drama, but it seems like he engulfs himself with it.

tsk, tsk... oooohhhh stealing images and putting your stupid slogan on them and reselling them for a profit is SOOOOOOO counter-culture. I would have never imaged...

obey and fuct are both terrible designs born from recycled pop culture: stop being fanboys.
- morilla0

I had a fuct skateboard in high school, one of many probably and it had the Planet of the Apes monkey on the bottom and was a slick. Loved that board but it was too bendy.

I'm not saying I'm taking either side, but my first thoughts are this.. Obey's gorilla marketing was extreme, it went up everywhere on anything. That was the point. Around the same time hip hop clothing and old rave flyers were taking name brands and changing letters as a play on words, for example:
Obey knew it redid some Fuct logos, just like it probably re-created thousands of other brand names and logos. Look up gorilla marketing at wikipedia
"promotions are sometimes designed so that the target audience is left unaware they have been marketed to and may therefore be a form of undercover marketing (also called stealth marketing)."
that's the point, he was taking popular brands and manipulating them as a stealth method of putting Obey in your face. So, Obey has original branding and he has ripped gorilla manipulations.. all in the spirit of gorilla marketing. To scream rip on Obey is missing the point all together.
