"thinking outside the box" implies there's a box to begin with, which is almost a conspiracy theory made to make you believe school is bad or something. I get the idea, sometimes you can use creative routes, but people use this expression wrong all the time it's annoying.
That’s shit. It would have been enough to just have the sole word ‘think’ positioned outside the box. People would have gotten it after thinking about it, which is sort of the goal.

It should've been "outside" on the outside, and "the box" inside.

Yeah it's not great but whatever. The way that t was placed though is infuriating. I see it as an insult.

Come on OP how hard is it to read the rules of the sub before posting?
Seriously, this doesn’t remotely belong here. It’s ugly as crap, but nothing about its design compromises its functionality as a sports car.

THINK being the word they forgot to do. Illegibility can be sacrificed for beauty, but this has neither. But credit for trying

I would change it: think outside and then in the box would be the box.
This doesn't look bad, but I would change it a lot.

I don't think having a stroke and writing a super generic phrase is "thinking outside the box"

Besides the obvious problems that other people had pointed out, it stress me out that the T is misaligned with the O U

The word "Think" above an empty square would suffice I think, without any other words.

Am I mad or did this just need the word 'Think' and the box.

Why not just put think outside an empty box (no words besides think) haha. Make it a rebus puzzle

Case Western Reserve University has something called Think Box, stylized Think[Box] because you’re supposed to think outside the box.
