Introduction
A umbrella brand name has to be simple, easy to reproduce at low costs, clean in it’s statement and be memorable. Spreadshirt delievers your custom clothes in a few days. Think - Print - Wear! My logo has reduced down this simple action to the logo with it’s indicated bubble for thinking and the magenta point for printing.
The Logo
The Logo itself is simple and flexible to use. It consists of 2 colours (Black/Magenta). The claim has been shortened for more memorability. The design element symbolizes “think” (with the indicated bubble) and “print” (with the indicated print-dot in magenta).
The Logo Types
The designelement gives flexible possibilities to transport the corporate design. Use Text-Bubbles, Image-Bubbles or accentuate the headlines. It is a design element!
The Logo Types for Bitmap or Negative-Reproduction
The Logo has been produced as a clean vector-file to give freedom to your design-needs. Usable as a FAX, Bitmap, Handy-Logo etc.
Print Products
Printproducts must be reproducible at low costs with few colours. In very small sizes it is better to use the specific Pantone/HKS-Colour for a good print-quality in grey-scale.
thats professionell, veratile, coherent.
personally i don’t like the font, so it does not ignite any fire.
very nice!!!
This is the best logo so far! You can communicate the design in every imaginable position/color/format. Really great work! lak said right: professionell, veratile, coherent. The line under the logo shows the fast delievery. It’s getting better an better the more I watch it :)
bravensrok
yes. absolutly the best work for spreadshirt.
bravensrok says right: professionell, veratile, coherent…
Really good idea – you already thought abour corporate design and applications. The logo fits good.
My favorite logo. Well thought out logo which builds the basis for the whole corporate id. Solid, memorable and highly usable - take it :)
Well you really did good with your submission. So far this is actually the first and only complete work which matches all requirements.
The text-logo was cleverly designed, using a slogan to match with the graphics part. I’m also impressed how generally the think/print-indicator is useable for any other purposes while always having spreadshirt and its slogan in the back of one’s mind.
There’s one (minor?) detail which bugs me though. The magenta-bordered shirt doesn’t mesh well with the logo-part, I think it got to do with the different angles of the think-indicator and the shirt. I’m only talking about the one subtitled “flexible design”, not the parts printed on shirts as they look fine because of different sizing.
But that detail doesn’t impact on the rating much. You get a 4.5 / 5 stars from me (naturally rounded up to 5).
very pitty and nice gamble away :P …cool works…thx

A lot of work and creativity flowed in the workout of the media purposes. Respect!
I have some suggestions to improve your work and make it top! Try to use another font. The used one is very neutral and uncharacteristic. Maybe a sharp edged font is better - brings more power in it. Now it´s too rounded and “harmless”.
The color combination gray magenta is often seen and not so fresh - spreadshirt is young - choose a younger color combination with more energy.
Some tweakings and …. perfect!
So far the best complete workout. Good luck!
looks great! but nettrooper’s got it all right, here. color and font should be reconsidered.
Thank you for your feedback! My reason for choosing the colour magenta: Magenta is a pure printing-colour which has a big signal-character. The font has been chosen (1.) cause of the same character like the design element (rounded corners) and (2.) cause of the small heights of the letters p,d,h,t. The letters have been modified mnaually to get the word “spreadshirt” as close to the design element as possible.
My appendix to the design element: It symbolizes the straightforward delivery after the action: think-print.
greets and have fun ;)
getimo
Hi getimo,
I think you created a marvellous simple design which also appears timeless. I admit the magenta looked a bit weird to me in the beginning, but actually it generates a fresh style. The combination of black, grey and this striking magenta is perhaps just a question of getting used to it ;)

Du Coeur
awesome! In my opinion this is a very nice logo. Simple, but yet interesting and easy to remember. It’s also good to see some variations and examples of applications on how this logo might be used. I also agree that the font doesnt quite work 100%, but i think its going the right direction :)
Very, very nice. Extraordinary mixture of colors but
that’s the reason why people will be recognize and remember this logo!
Good work!
i actually like the idea and the concept as well, although i think this draft comes a little cool/unemotional ..
I really like the idea - exspecially pink !!!!!
Cool, straight and simply! I love it! :-)
good work, but the font looks like the font called “comic”.
hmm, isn’t an “eye-catcher” for me, that means I miss something “flippy”
Thank you for your feedback. But it will be hard to change the font. I’m concerned about evers little thing. So I can’t change the font - it’s not as simple as that!
I’m going to produce another logo. I think that spreadshirt can easily modify the logo to fit their needs.
Thank you for the comments :)
getimo
I’m surprised how flexible this logo is! I found this entry only through the “latest comments” function. This is one of the few good looking and coherent logos on this site. The only thing is, that the lines in black and magenta should always have the same proportion. Except for this it’s a great logo which does work! Design with function - good! :)
david
I am happy.
i like the idea, but i hate the font!
the colors are beautiful :-)
Thank u for your good work!
@Matt: Nice, I’m happy too ;)
@truelife: Do you have a reason for hating this font? Without any reason it is ringing hollow.
getimo
hi getimo
Your logo is very convincing. I`m impressed of the design element because it is simple, but eyecatching. I just read the requirements of Spreadshirt and I noticed that your logo shows perfectly their ideas.
seriousness, honesty and quality: straight form
promptitude: considering the design element to be a flash
freshness and a bit of tongue-in-cheek: point-dot in magenta and the bubble elements
internationality: lower case letters, no confusing ornamentations
flexibility: usable in smaller presentations, in positive and negative and single colour reproduction. And it`s applicable in every imaginable format and position.
As Spreadshirt required a text logo, I would omit the logo with the shirt. In my opinion it`s not essential.
All in all: my compliment, it`s my favorite!

Hello Wanata,
I love you! ;) This is a really nice comment I would not have exspected :)
Thank you for your feedback!
getimo
hi getimo,
I really do appreciate your intelligent logo. I know it is hard work to make something look simple AND convincing. The edged grafic and the rounded font make the whole thing dynamic. Respect!
amma
I love this logo - very professionell, very nice, brillant!
This is the best logo i’ve seen so far in this contest. It’s very versatile and well to be recognized. I think it fits the requirements perfectly! My favorite!
seems like i have an odd taste… i don’t know exactly why (maybe the rating is too high - damn competitives ;) ), but i can not make friends with this submission at all…
maybe it’s the maganta-grey combination, could also be the rounded font.
I viewed all submissions . but I think this is the only one which fits the briefing requirements. The line with the bubble-character + the magenta point is a really simple but great idea. Fits very good to “think it - print it”. Well enough words, take that logo…
Hey, I visited the “gallery by time” and found that entry. I really like this logo. It’s professional and it’s easy to put onto every spreadshirt-shop.
Jesus, I can’t write English ;) I like this logo…
Your Spreadshirt-Shopper
the grey could be a little bit darker. but it’s a really straight to the point logo. very flexible - i could imagine many situations to use your “design element” apart of your suggestions.
good work…
I really like this enrty! I already said in the other entry: I would take the design if spreadshirt doesn’t want it ;)
Your Spreadshirt Shopper
elwood: totally with you.
i don’t get all the fuzz about that submission.
no personal offense, but honestly:
- i’m pretty sure i’ve seen *several* similar ones on other occasions already.
- i don’t like the magenta (okay, this is my personal taste and it could easily be replaced)
- i don’t like the font at all
- the overall impression doesn’t make me think of stylish clothes.
just my two cents.

Well, after visiting your website I understand… ;) Joke!! :)
Well, I never saw this bubble-dot theme before. And the biggest point for me: no other entry does fit all requirements of the briefing so straight - this makes it more professional in my view. There is a designer who knows what he does…
Your Spreadshirt Shopper
spreadshirt-shopper:
any of mb’s entries does in a far better way.
but once again: this is just _my_ point of view and _my_ opinion what a logotype should look like.

p.s.: i don’t think we’re discussing my homepage here. if so: where’s _your_ url?
@Spreadshirt Shopper & Vali: Please discuss your personal problems in a private way :)
Well, nice to see that many people are discussing about this logo. I’d like to hear more opinions from other people.

Aha, this is one of the pofessionals. It’s timeless and seems to be a bif company which is friendly at the first view. The line under “spreadshirt” is defines what spreadshirt does - nice.
PS: The vote function here is really bad! Doesn’t work here in Opera. Maybe that I didn’t vote correctly (5 stars)…

Yes, that’s simple and good. I already love it!

“Simple, memorable, easy to reproduce and… nice.”
yes, I totally agree, I like grey and magenta very much. does spreadshirt get this design for free?????
damn, I shouldmake such a contest too ;)
Good Concept! Bad execution of the logo.
I like it! Great idea - nice production. For me the idea is more important than the technical execution. You can change the design easily but not an idea in a design.
euer landei
Cool, the logo is still on the top! Still my favourite one.

The grey is too weak, black should be better! The rest is good ;)
teloneus
I really don’t see what all the fuss is about, it’s too plain & boring from where I’m sitting :(
well, I would recognize this logo every time i would see it again. the next thing (important for me) is, that I can see a strong idea which is expressed in a very simple way. alway when i watch logos from big companies I understand why the logo must be clean and simple. it must be scalable in it’s expression for the FUTURE.
this is my very personal opinion.
Hello, I like this logo! Don’t know why there others don’t like it :) Because of the pink? ;)
Ilike this logo cause it look professional in my view. I could imagine a good CI for this design.
The grey and the magenta is a nice colour-combination which can be used for trendwhoring or for a professional design. It is difficult to build a whole corporate design only with too colours. So,this entry is my favourite one because it has been put into practice. In my opinion this one is one of the few entries which can be used for a whole corporate design and fits all requirements. Go on like this!
Hey getimo,
you gave a really good draft for spreadshirt. I think you submission has a good chance. The only thing I would change is the claim.
“think it - print it” doesn’t show the customer that he doesn’t have to care about the printing. “YOU think it - WE print it” shows the customer what service he can exspect. The rest has a big potential for a whole corporate design!
Very nice :)
I do this for a living, and i must agree with the majority here. very well executed idea, according to the brief. Strong, corporate and quality. if i must pick on something, (and i must :)) maybe try a more “serious” font. i may seem a bit “off”, but then again: its the customers who use the site and product, so it IS homemade. and may reflect that. i feel the same thing about the pay-off too as SüDKOMFORT. its more clear that way. And the design element is one stroke of genious!. highly flexible. clever!
all in all the best contribution in my opinion.
to keep it short: i agree with lade73 ;)
i can’t write good english so she/he said everything i wanted to say :)
take this best, forget the rest!
well i dont know why you all like it that much! In my personal opinion this is too clear and i dont like the font. Just cause you can put it under an picture or an advertisment this is not the best ci here! I hope you know what i mean. Sorry for my english.
Thanks again for all your comments. I think that a logo has to look good for MOST of the people - not for ALL. It is not possible to point on everyones taste. But nice to see that some guys like this logo. I think I could say that the most of the comments were positive - but I also want to say that I love negative critism to make me/the logo even better.
Sorry for my bad English too.
Sorry, forget to say: I totally agree with the comment of dennis (No. 47). A logo has to bee very simple if it’s growing - it must be prepared for the future.
I’d have to agree with elwood, vali and the others - its a bit boring for my liking and for something thats based on a speach bubble it doesn’t ’say much’ for the brand - maybe if it was a phone company or an online chat-line? Sorry man wouldn’t like this on my site either!;)
PS: isn’t comment #49 from you from your own website??
Hello eM,
thank you for your comment :) I understand your arguments!

ich finde das logo cool :) sieht eigen aus und schlicht muss es heute ja sein,ne?
sandra
yeah, top-logo! looks very stylish…
i want that :)
i dont like the different grey colours. and i dont think this concept can work as a logo cause a main logo is missing imho.
A have seen this logo some days ago here and I couldn’t get rid of that in my head. The whole day I was thinking of this logo - why? I don’t know sorry ;)
This was a reason forme to write you a comment! Well done! Great Idea!
Sabrina
ohh sabrina! this logo is so,..how can i put it…BLAND…..i totaly forgot about it.
elanz! i hope you dont wont to win the first prize in the ’spammer’ category - otherwise i have to warn you because I want to win.
I hope there will be a ‘best sarcasm’-prize, too…
cause this logo totally rocks…!
(this post should let me win both prizes…)
na, to be serious, i still don’t really like it - looks like something i might (and propably have) see(n) on any shop in any mall.
It’ well executed though…
Hello voss,
very nice contest - designers here are making hard work on designs and you are calling us spammer….!?
Thank you in advance for every answer!
getimo
getimo - voss is referring to the “category” discussion. so i think it wasn´t meant this way ..
btw. i hope it´s hard enough to comment even for spammers — since we have the “anti spam protection” (insert “security code” below) on. ;-)
Thank you for your comment - I wanted to submit a new Design but this comment doesn’t motivate me alot…
getimo
huh? errrm, well. don´t know what you are trying to say.
i was just trying to say that one shouldn´t over interprete some funny comments .. -> also see the “;-)”
sorry if i offended you by whatever i wrote.
I didn’t mean your comment ami ;)
Well, I was a little bit confused about this spamming words…
Well, of course I’m going to submit a new design ;)
greets
getimo
bores me to death
besides the boring colours and the inappropriate font it looks a little to much like this one:
