Summary

I own a land clearing and forestry mulching business and already have a completed professional brand package with logos, colors, fonts, and brand guidelines. I am not looking for a new logo or full rebrand. I need an experienced apparel/print designer to take my existing brand files and create clean, professional, screen-print-ready shirt artwork and a simple printer reference guide. This is for contractor work shirts, hi-vis safety shirts, charcoal/navy shirts, and possibly hats later. Main goal: Create shirt artwork that is readable from a distance, properly sized, properly centered, and easy for a local screen printer to follow. I recently had shirts printed where the back design came out too small visually, too high, and not readable enough from about 10 feet away. Some shirts also appeared off-center. I want to avoid that happening again. The print quality itself was usable, but the layout did not function well as a professional shirt-back design. It looked more like a small upper-back strip instead of a strong branded work shirt. Deliverables needed: 1. Left chest logo layout for shirts 2. Strong back shirt layout 3. Hi-vis yellow/green shirt version 4. Hi-vis orange shirt version 5. Dark shirt version for navy/charcoal 6. Simple printer reference guide showing: - front logo placement - back logo placement - approximate print width/height - distance from collar/top of shirt - centering instructions - which file to use for each shirt color 7. Final files in AI, PDF, PNG, and any other print-ready format recommended Possible back shirt wording: Property Line Land Services Forestry Mulching & Land Clearing propertylineland.com The tagline “Built on Trust. Cleared with Purpose.” can still be considered, but for work shirts I think the service line needs to be the main focus so people immediately understand what the business does. Design direction: I am open to the designer’s recommendation on whether the back should use: - stacked layout - badge-first layout - service-first layout - modified horizontal layout - another format that works better for apparel The current horizontal logo looks good in other uses, but on the back of a shirt it became too long and shallow. I want the back design to have more visual impact and better readability. Important requirements: - Do not redesign the whole brand. - Use the existing logo, colors, and brand style. - Must understand screen printing and apparel placement. - Must provide files a local printer can use without guessing. - Must be able to create a simple placement/reference guide. - Must care about readability and professional brand presentation. - Bonus if you understand hat embroidery or hat logo preparation. Please include examples of previous apparel, workwear, contractor shirts, screen print layouts, or brand merchandise you have created.
