I dare me

Saw a silly thing on Facebook. It's a comment on people who don't know about design stuff making silly suggestions to change designers' work. 

 Yes, I've been in this situation. 

 Anyway, the example being "improved" is a classic piece of design by Milton Glaser. 

It's also in a simple-ish style that I can kind-of mimic, so I thought I'd give the silly suggestions a serious attempt. Kind-of serious. 

 The original. Classic, of course.
The instructions. Funny? Maybe a little bit. I added the checkmarks.

 My version. 

It's not as good as Milton's, but it's not as bad as some things. Still awful, compared to the original.
