Contest [ $ 30 ] Sew-In Label for brand clean and Simple, Bilingual

Discussion in 'Design Contests' started by dachilla, Apr 2, 2026.

  1. #1
    We are looking for a refined, modern clothing label design for our brand HIRO GATO.

    The label will be woven and sewn into garments, so the design must be optimized for small-scale production. It should be only Black on White.

    1. Content
    • All information from the existing label must be included
    • Japanese text can be copied directly from the original label
    • Keep:
      • Tagline: “Skintight Fit” + Japanese equivalent
      • Website URL (unchanged)
    2. Size Information (Front Side)
    • Include:
      • INT size (e.g., M)
      • JP size (e.g., L)
    • Use bilingual label:
      • Size / サイズ
    IMPORTANT: Size must be highly legible at a glance
    • Clear hierarchy (size should stand out)
    • Do NOT make it small or secondary
    • Must be readable at small woven scale
    3. Care Instructions (Back Side)
    • Include washing/care information from original label
    • Layout should be cleaner, more minimal, better organized
    • Bilingual preferred (EN + JP)
    4. Logo Usage
    • Use provided logo(s)
    • Must remain clearly recognizable at small woven size
    • Avoid fine detail that will not reproduce well
    5. Label Structure & Dimensions
    • Total size: 10 cm (height) × 3 cm (width)
    • Label is folded in the middle
    Visible areas:
    • Front: top 4 cm
    • Back: bottom 4 cm (when flipped)
    Non-visible stitching areas:
    • Top: 1 cm
    • Bottom: 1 cm
    Don't put content in the stitching area

    7. Provided Files
    • Attached:
      • AI (Illustrator) file of the old label
        • Previous width: 2.5 cm
        • New label width: 3 cm (more space available)
      • New Logo

    Design should be clean and minimal, delivered in AI format.

    Use the link to find a file of the old label (it was only 2.5cm wide and 10cm long) now it should be 3cm wide, but the horizontal guides in the old AI label file are accurate for where I want the content.

    There is no need to take the same fonts or icons as I did in the original label, I need it a clean style, the old label was all over the place.

    I also attached AI versions of our logo. You can combine elements of both logos if it helps create a more compact or suitable layout b ut do not distort or overly modify the logo.

    Payment: I can pay with Wise, Payoneer or Paypal (you have to send me a payment link)

    Contest runs for 7 days until 10th April, unless we get a clear winner before. I also reserve the right to extend the contest for 3 days if no winner was found.

    @all guys I am so sorry, I wasn't able to look in here due to an emergency in the family. I thus also have to extend the contest for 3 more days, so it'll run until Monday 13th

    @fajarfaqih thank you for getting in this one. I like the lower part a lot it's very clean and distinct, the upper part with the logo is not that great, I don't like the thin font on it.

    @T.j. Detwiler Yeah I really like the top of #3, I fear though that sizes like 3XL and XXS may not fit. I think XXS is the longest letters we'd have so it should be able to fit that one, but I love the idea, it's really cool. For the lower part #4 seems good, but the font could be slightly bigger and we I'm not sure about the circles around the icons, it may be a bit too much (I really mean "not sure", it doesn't mean I don't want them)

    @all one more thing, I would prefer it if the international size would be bigger and the japanese size would sit smaller somewhere below. Like here, but I love your concepts so far especially the outlining etc. Here is a basic example of what I mean, this doen't mean I want it exactly like that, just so you understand what I mean.

    @T.j. Detwiler thank you for your revision, the size box in design no. #10 looks a bit too lagre, the same with the link, it just fills everything up and doesn't leave anough white space in my opinion, however, I like the design of the elements a lot. the skintight fit could be on the top part if we make the other 2 elements smaller, other than that i love it.

    @fajarfaqih I like your desig no #13 but with a few changes... 1. the size (Intl size) box I like rounded corners, but it's a bit too round I'd prefer a rectangle with rounded corners. Regarding the skintight fit and the link I prefer the one in version #2

    Thank you for entering, we got two more days to go.

    D.C.
