I just think it's more suited for print than web. I should add that I do happen to think this logo is the closest to the brief. I just think it’s more suited for print than web.

Yes there's certainly more flexibility about what an actual logo should look like these days. But it's all in the application. And spreadshirt is mainly an on-line business platform. And on-line, the logos that work best are compact and can be resized to very small sizes without losing its compositional integrity. Look at the sample on the card at arms length, both the overall t shirt shape and the graphic details just break apart. Place that next to a strong icon or logotype like computer arts or computerlove and put them on the same web page with all the content of images and text. At that size there's no question that it'll struggle to command the viewer's attention. @Helle_Koed

If you look back in time an compare logos ,how they used to look like I agree. But to day logos has to be a whole identity. The future wants an experience rather than a boring and silent logoshape. I think you have to keep up with time and get people more than just soomething to look at - you have to give them thoughts, ideas, meanings... Sure this logo has a lot of elements and is not correct when you look at all the old rules and yes I have heard every thing what they wanted to teach me at school, but that was then... THIS IS NOW! ;) Formikula

Since spreadshirt is mainly an on-line campaign other websites usually use very small icons to link their affiliates. But it's very well put together. I especially like the bus poster version (w/o the guns of course). I agree about the size problem.

I like the smilie on the right bottom corner .. looks like as if he would have all the ideas (being king, making money, etc.) -- this is great! One thing, maybe it's just me and a little detail - but I find the right sleeve of the shirt a little bit smaller as the left one (maybe because of the "blocky" ipod) .. do you see what I mean? still not sure if it works on a smaller size - but it’s still great and a very cool improvement.

Your improvments are GOOD, much more readble and printable on little size. i love how you made variations, like the heart, of course, your concept permits a lot of fun, different ways to transmit the ss firm. But, my opinion is, that if i was in your place, i would have done for the tiny sizes, like web, print paper or clothes etc...a special logo, that suggest the concept, but not at all the same design you used for big prints (instead of the tee shirt resizes in little, i would have done something else, completly different, i don't know, just an element...which would changeable for example) i hope you'll understand what i meant, my english is playing me tricks... good luck dude! yeah Lufograf, i can tell you that’s easily your best Sub so far, no doubt about it.
