OVERVIEW
We are Equis Funds Group, an investment fund invest in infrastructure companies around Asia. For more information:
• Please see our website http://equisfg.com/ to understand more about us and get inspiration!
• Please also see our logo (attachment 1).
We just invested in a gas distribution company in China named Runfar Gas Group (“Gas Company”), a subsidiary of Runfar Investment Group (“Parent Company”). For more information:
• Please see Gas Company description here http://www.runfar.cn/en_general/index.aspx?nodeid=115.
• Please see its logo (attachment 2a & 2b).
• Please see Parent Company description here http://www.runfar.cn/en_general/index.aspx?nodeid=97.
• Please see its logo (attachment 3).
To celebrate our investment into the Gas Company, we want to print shirts that are both cool and appropriate for senior managers to wear to office e.g. on Friday casual.
USERS
• Employees of Equis Funds Group and the Gas Company, from CEO to janitor. We also want the shirts to be nice & appropriate to give away as gifts (mostly to office workers)
• Employees from the 2 companies are a mix of Western, Chinese & other Asian people
• User age: 25-45
T-SHIRT
• Type & material: polo shirts (see attachment 4 for example). Please also indicate the shirt material you think the best suited for your design.
• Background color: please suggest the best background color for the shirt, if any background is fine then we prefer these colors (materials more easily available):
- Equis logo blue or
- Light grey or
- Light blue or
- Aqua or
- Dark navy blue.
DESIGN
• Try to highlight 3 logos (Gas Company, Equis Funds Group, Parent Company) in some way, Gas Company has highest priority and should have the most focus
• You are free to change the shape, size, color of these 2 logos as you want, as long as they’re still can be perceived as company logos
• Gas Company & Parent Company logo should be in front of shirt, Equis logo could be at back or at front. This means it’s up to you to design shirts with just front or with both front and back graphics, whichever looks nicer
• We prefer elegant and simple design as these shirts are for corporate people (they don’t like complexity).
LOOK & FEEL
• The relationship is that Equis invests in Gas Company (which is a subsidiary of Parent Company)
• With the shirts, we want Gas Company employees to feel proud that they have a large investor invested in them. We also want Equis employees to feel proud that they made a good investment.
• Though Parent Company has much lessor role in this investment, we also want it management to feel happy when wearing the shirts in the sense that their subsidiary got a big investment. Kind of a face lift (important in China).
• In addition to highlighting the 3 companies, we want the shirt to give a good feelings of growth & progress
• We want the design to be elegant and subtle, so that the 55-year old CEO (also a multimillionaire) can wear it to a cocktail party with other successful businessmen. Please try to avoid slogan, text, provoking colors & design. For an idea of what we look for in elegance and subtlety, please see these samples:

Dear artists working on this project,
I got some more designs and I would like to give some feedback to you all. Hope it would be helpful.
1) On the design & use of logos, you can use any style from drawing to doodling ... to re-create the logos. We probably don't want to see the logo stiffly displayed on the shirt. Here are some examples that you can play around with:
You can have some doodling style like this
https://www.threadless.com/product/3820/The_City_That_Never_Sleeps/tab,guys/style,shirt
Or some drawing style like this:
https://www.threadless.com/product/3903/I_Want_My_Blue_Sky/tab,guys/style,shirt
Or even color can be simple, but with imaginative drawing like this
https://www.threadless.com/product/3670/The_Hanging_City/tab,guys/style,shirt
Or elegant play on nice colors like this
https://www.threadless.com/product/5729/Rows_of_Valleys/tab,guys/style,shirt
2) On the background:
It would be nicer when
there's some connection between design color and background color. See
the sample links I sent you above, the background and the
design are perceived as a whole, they blend smoothly to each other

Project Deadline Extended
Reason: Dear artists and designers,
I have to extend this project for another 7 days because I only have received submissions from 5 designers in the last 10 days, although 50+ designers accepted the project invitation.
I will surely send out payment to the winning designer so please feel free to submit your designs.
I will keep giving feedback to designers who have submitted so they can refine their designs.
Cheers,
Nhat
