Spreadshirt Reveals New Logo
Leipzig/Boston February 28th, 2008 -- Spreadshirt has launched its new logo, the result of a global crowdsourcing contest, the Open Logo Project 1.6 (OLP).
Kim Larsen’s ‘Love Tab’ was the winning design, chosen from 2,800 submissions (from 45 countries). Kim is a 23 year old graphic and interactive media designer from Sweden.
"We wanted to take this to the community who use, create and live our product, rather than to an agency", says Jana Eggers, Spreadshirt CEO.
Each entry received comment and evaluation by an expert panel, the other designers, the Spreadshirt community and employees. The judging panel included web 2.0 guru Dr Frank Piller, renowned San Francisco graphic designer Scott Hansen, Computerlove, Branded and laFraise.
Kim Larsen says: "I wanted to make personal branding visually simple and to embed a symbol everyone can relate to. The heart resonates with the feeling of love you have for something you’ve created and the stitching with the hand-crafted nature of the product."

Spreadshirt is the “things you wear” answer to the growing desire for personal branding — letting customers quickly create one-of-a-kind, high-quality, expressive apparel. Two types of customers include:
- Buyers. Like tattoos, phone skins, and MySpace or Facebook pages, Spreadshirt lets people show who they are through shirts, shoes, bags and more, with affordable prices, high quality, fast delivery, and no minimum quantities.
- Sellers. With Spreadshirt’s online shop platform, sellers offer their creations without worrying about managing inventory, accepting credit cards, manufacturing, shipping, or customer service. Shop partners focus on the creative… Spreadshirt delivers the rest. Shops are free to set-up, and standard shops are free to maintain.
Launched in 2002 in Leipzig, Germany, Spreadshirt was named one of Europe's fastest growing companies. The company now has over 300,000 shop partners worldwide, which include a range of private individuals, charity organizations, artists and corporations. Notable partners have included Samsung, Coca Cola, Chuck Norris and The Guardian. With t-shirts as the company’s specialty, shop partners can create branded merchandise with a range of around 80 printable items, from sweatshirts and jackets to bags and shoes.
