No more colors needed, prefer the orange version. Agreeing with Jana Eggers, stacked is better and with adjusted claim. No more colors needed, prefer the orange version.

But again, it's <i>symbolic</i>. The old spreadshirt logo had a fingerprint in it, that was symbolic, too. It didn't mean that Spreadshirt was a crime lab. The tag here represents the idea of having your own label/brand. There is no explicit visual code for a brand, that's why one has to use symbolic approach. This is not a revolutionary idea, in fact I think most of the logos are symbolic rather than literal. I understand what you mean.

Dont you understand what I mean? Is the tagline not supposed to mean "its your own brand" but showing a label is telling you "its your own tag"?

Clearly the tag is a symbolic representation of label (which I suspect is the case in the four other logo designs here that use tag in some form). I don’t see the confusion here.

In my opinion it is a confusing of the word label meaning tag and label meaning brand (which should be the case for this company if I get it right). To me it looks like a sewing company.

The thread is easy to modify though. Anyway, nothing wrong with sperm cells...? There's a new business being born when the designer and spreadshirt come together (better leave it at that, haha). Jana Eggers: I was thinking about justifying the text with the square, but it didn't work quite as well. It looked a bit unstable, like it's about to collapse (now it's more like it has a base where the logo rests). Also, I think it looks more interesting that way, it kind of separates the logo and the slogan a bit, instead of it being a big "lump". Also, I like to keep things simple (colourwise and other). I think it looks cool, plus that way things won't look dated in a year or two! Thank you both for your comments!

I like the stacked version. Wonder if some more color could (should?) be added? Also, in the stacked version should "your own label" be justified with the square? I am big fan of this!

But somehow the string reminds me rather of a ... hm, well ... male monocellular transporter of Y-chromosomes, so to speak. The stitched label, ah yes.
