T-shirt Design Brief
Creating new Print on Demand T-shirt Brand called "Candy Coated Haters." Looking for Logo that can take up the front of a shirt but can also be noticeable when made small and put on the top back of the shirt, or on a pocket. The Logo should be clean with the possibility of the colors being able to be changed.
The branded shirts will be different than the logo so I need something that can stand alone but not take up too much attention when placed with other items. The word "Haters" should stand out the most and should be the most creative part of the logo.
