COVID-19 really sucks, there’s no getting around that. But it has given us the opportunity to express ourselves in an awesome and brand new way. Customised face masks.
There are already so many great, funny and original face mask designs available online, and many of our original designs are also available printed on face masks as well. We’ve come up with our favourite face masks that let the geeks among us express their awesome individuality. Whether you love video games, computers, Star Wars or even Dr. Who, we’ve got you covered.
In fact, we kept coming up with designed we loved so there’s way more than 18 nerdy face mask designs here now.
As a quick disclaimer, these masks are not designed for those on the front line, and should not be considered approved PPE. If you’re a first responder or someone who has been advised to wear a medical mask, you should stick to approved PPE. Additionally, these masks should be used in conjunction with existing advice surrounding pandemics, including social distancing.
Here are our favourite 15 face masks for geeks.
Circuitry Board Face Mask
Our original circuit board design features all the components you’d find on your typical motherboard. Processor chip, RAM slots and USB headers, along with all the classic integrated circuits that give mainboards there iconic look. A simple and easy face mask design that shows off your inner nerd.
Space Invaders Face Mask
Or if Pacman wasn’t your cup of tea, then this equally awesome Space Invaders themed face mask should fulfil your retro video gamer face mask needs.
Season 2020 of Earth is Messed Up
We often think what aliens from outer space must think when they look at us. And goodness knows what they would make of season 2020. Even we think it’s all gone seriously wrong.
Blue Screen of Death Error
Our Blue Screen of Death themed designs always seem popular (check out our Halloween BSOD t-shirt if you’re stuck for ideas in October) so here we have our our Blue Screen of Death error that sadly prevented this otherwise awesome face mask design from being displayed!
Social Distancing World Champion
You got to give it to the big man (or woman) – he is darn good at social distancing. The reigning hide-n-seek champion – only ever seen by people with video cameras dating back 20 years – is also the world champion at keeping his distance. A great vintage colour set accompanies this horror nerd face mask.
The Year 2020 by Stephen King
Let’s face it, 2020 may as well be a horror book written by Stephen King. There is no way around it, the year sucks. If it were indeed a horror book, it would be lambasted for being too far fetched, too pessimistic. And too scary. And yet here we are.
A long time ago…
This Star Wars themed face would make for a great accessory for any fan of the science fiction franchise. Did you know, a long, long time ago… we didn’t have to wear masks. It could very well be the opening scrawl to a sci-fi movie next year.
This is my Happy Place
A perfect mask for anyone who feels most at home in front of their desk and array of flatscreen monitors. No mask required in the happy place, but for everywhere else, you have our original “My Happy Place” face mask.
Retro Video Controllers
Another entry that retro video gamers will love, this mask features a collection of nostalgic video game controllers and consoles. We’re seeing the iconic GameBoy, Nintendo DS and N64 controller, among others. Awesome choice for those that grew up with these consoles in the 1990s.
The Truth is Out There
No collection of geeky face masks would be complete without at least one entry from ultimate sci-fi TV show The X-Files. A global pandemic spreading across the world, accompanied by a plethora of conspiracy theories. To be fair, it’s just like we’re in an episode from the series. Alas, we have the classic X with the timeless slogan “The Truth Is Out There”.
X-Files Handprint
If you’re looking for another X-Files themed face mask design, we can also offer you the famous handprint that any true X-Files fan will instantly recognise from the TV shows opening credits. Spooky!
Space
For the astronomy lovers we have this space themed mask that features an incredible graphic of planets and galaxies far, far away.
Stay Away
Another Star Wars themed mask here, and a great way to promote social distancing in a fun way. Stay away. At least six feet please. And may the force be with you, of course.
Alien Predator
What fun is wearing face masks unless you can gross people out a little. This, err… striking design is going to turn some heads. Based on the mouth of the Alien Predator from the Predator franchise.
Storm Trooper
If you’ve ever wanted to look like a Storm Trooper while out shopping for groceries, and that be socially acceptable, now is your chance. Don’t pretend you’re not tempted.
Regeneration is Coming
If there any Dr. Who fans in the house, then this may be the choice for you. In may seem that we’re in the middle of some sort of horrible Dr. Who episode right now. Here’s to the next regeneration. This mask is available on Teepublic who will donate one medical grade mask to Direct Relief for each sale of this item.
I’m Not a Hacker
This is one of our most popular sticker and t-shirt designs, so we just had to see what it would look like as a face mask as well! An awesome choice for anyone who works in cybersecurity. Reads “I Am Not a Hacker. I Am A ‘Security Professional.’ Honest”.
Face Mask Design Not Found
The ‘computer error’ designs are always a popular theme, and this twist is for face masks. This face mask design was seriously awesome – honest! We just couldn’t find it.
Social Distancing in Progress
Social distancing is in progress. Do not approach! A great take on the famous buffering symbol.
Bunch of Bastards
Fans of the IT Crowd will no doubt appreciate this very apt and hilarious quote from IT geek Roy from the British TV classic. This has been one of our top selling T-Shirt designs, and we fully expect it to be a great face mask as well.
Dance Like No One Is Watching
…And encrypt like everyone is! This timeless piece of cyber security advice crosses over onto face masks pretty well.
My Ears Are Not A Ruddy Toilet
Another entry from The IT Crowd with this brilliant line from Moss.
I See You Baby, Shaking That Ass
A face mask with the lyrics to the Groove Armada classic hidden in the forest of binary code? Sounds good to us.
Can’t. Busy.
Lockdown does mean more time for video gaming, so very is some silver lining to not being able to leave your house. A perfect mask for the gamer who perhaps spends a little too much time gaming. This mask is available on Teepublic who will donate one medical grade mask to Direct Relief for each sale of this item.
