Custom Hoodies is a Desktop to Garment web portal where images are applied to hoodies and printed. The logo is a stylization of a tied string on a hoodie done as a stencil-graffiti friendly Little Red Riding Hood superhero symbol, if she was one today, flying around looking for a big, bad wolf. It is attempting to emit a rebellious vibe and an upbeat energy of the street fashion brand, acting as a sub-brand on top of which the users of the web portal can build their own story.

- In this project, the first challenge was to give a compelling and relatable story to the symbol. Since research went in two ways, the second challenge was to make those two directions meet organically without losing any bit of the value of either one.
- Project Duration
- 2 weeks, Hong Kong SAR
- Operation Flow
- The simple-heavy logo design strives to be immediately impactful for the targeted users and to directly associate the visual identity with the service provided. It encourages people to unleash their inner street-artist and put their stories out to the world with Custom Hoodies.
- Research
- The research presented insights into the cultural significance that a hoodie is a symbol of. Not just on a functional level worn for a physical activity or as a leisurely garment of convenience, but as a certain lifestyle representative.

In a modern sense, it is related to street culture, and in traditional to tales. This is why logo is grounded in films that popularized hoodies like Rocky, but at the same time in stories like Little Red Riding Hood. It is a semiotic hybrid fueled by these diversities converged into a a modern package, triggering people to create their own stories
