A small update & refinement of the icon + other variations
.
THE BRIEF:
*Easy to use?
= Yes it is an icon, pretty flexible & much fun also!
*Detailed - Our quality and attention is what makes us special.
= Positive appearence & the costumer feels to be acclaimed by the logo thats where he feels to have some attention from u guys!
*Individually made & Unique - designed by individuals, made by individuals, for individuals
= It is a face what can be more individual? designed by individual, Y. O. L. in it!
* We’re in the business of personal branding..
= it is very personal: a face, Y.O.L. on a shirt, a chin as a speachbubble!
* Our mission statement is to be “the world’s creative apparel platform”.
= the logo is very flexible, so u can use it to spread this statement in a very creative way!
* A new logo to support and emphasize the tagline.
= I think it does pretty good. ^^ Y.O.L. on the shirt, Its face as an label, a chin as a speachbubble, & a necktab
* The logo should look and function as an identifier/marker for our business.
= a friendly face that can be identified & relatable easily because it is like a new emoticon, which can be used also without the shirt as its face! That means more & more flexibillity!
* Should help people understand what we do.
= The three letters Y. O. L. looks like a motive on a shirt without beeing non-unique/personal (like a heart). The Icon can stand without the tagline! With the tagline u could receive the message (your own label) in seconds!
* Needs to support and re-enforce our new tagline ?Your own label?.
= It does ::: Y.O.L. on the shirt + a shirt + his chin as a speachbubble + a necktab & its face is a label to emphase the Y.O.L. message.
* Reflect our product values of easy to use, detailed and Individual.
= The Icon communicate a lightfullness & fun, without beeing to simple but also not overdetailed! It is an individual uniqe icon with a face which is reliable & relatable easily.
* Visually separate Spread & Shirt.
= it does! Imho in a single line it is more flexible & applicable.
* Needs to be flexible.
= sure it is, works on every medium
@spreadshirt staff: could u please place the update at the top of the entry?

I somewhat see a similarity between this and spreadshirt TM by japasa. Although I find this much more suited to spreadshirt because of the personality of it.
Good work!! Very good idea. Like it!!
Thx! ^^
Hmm, I don’t agree with any similarity to japasa imho, but with the personality of it
Seems to me that spreadshirt is searching for an other solution for their logo.
