Of course simple can be good, and yes, thee isn’t somethin like this in this(!) competition yet - but if it will be anything like the first one, it will be flooded with similar shirt-logos in a matter of days.
The concept is too good to let it perish within those then.

It’s not shirts per se i think aren’t suiting, there are nice concepts to use the shape/outline, but the reduced curvated shape like this i’ve seen way to often in the last contest

Thanks for your comments guys!
Some feedback to your opinions: It is not only the asterisk, or the “normal looking shirt” that tells you if its a global player. I did not see something like that in this composition so far and furthermore a logo does not need to be complicated to be accepted as a great brand. Deutsche Bank and Mercedes for example using so easy shapes and do not look exciting on first glance, yet they stand for quality and global business. All in all it is my concept that the logo shall be rather simple to suggest that the content is the exciting and spicy element! Give it another thought, maybe.
In the meantime I gonna try and see if I can take it to another level, thanks!

I too, really like the usage of the negative space, definitely do something else with that concept. The logo itself not so much. Just a random shirt in my opinion seems too simple, in a not so great way.
The placement of the asterix isn’t strinking me as right either yet.

I also like the idea of beeing transparent and very individual by blanking the logo out. But on the other hand the asterisk is not unique enough to represent a worldwide creative company.

Furthermore i see space for improvement in regard of typing the claim - big spacing between letters effects that its hard to use/read in an online enviroment and the weight of the font makes it also not pretty easy to plott/produce on a shirt.

Very nice. I like the word separation with the bigger shirt. 7/10 from me.

I like the idea of blanking the logo out and the asterisk - altough i think it looks a little too “attached” to the frame
