‘Don’t Try to Be Original,’ — Paul Rand Quote Tee | Wear Words Typographic Statement Tee — Oversized Tee

“Don’t try to be original, just try to be good.” Paul Rand designed the IBM logo in 1956 and borrowed this creed from the architect Mies van der Rohe, who said, “I don’t want to be interesting, I want to be good.” When Steve Jobs hired him for the NeXT identity decades later, Rand charged $100,000, presented one solution, and offered no alternatives.

**AS Colour 5082 “Faded Bone” — Oversized Tee (Cream finish).** 100% carded cotton, heavyweight 240 gsm, garment-dyed — each tee fades a little differently, so no two are identical. Oversized, boxy relaxed fit, dropped shoulders, wide twin-stitched ribbed neck, side-seamed, pre-shrunk (size down for a less roomy look). Care: machine wash cold inside-out with like colors, do NOT bleach, do NOT tumble dry (line dry in the shade to protect the garment dye), cool iron inside-out (never iron the print).
