T-shirt Design Brief
We are looking for a mountain bike–inspired graphic T-shirt design for our action-sports apparel brand RIDN. The design should feel authentic to MTB riders while remaining clean and wearable as a lifestyle tee. The RIDN logo (attached) must be used on the front of the shirt, with full creative freedom on placement — designers may position it anywhere they feel works best with the overall design (examples include bottom left above the waistline, front and centre in vertical or horizontal orientation, or diagonally across the left chest). The back design is the key creative area and should integrate a subtle but clever MTB influence directly into the RIDN logo or RIDN's brand slogan "OWN YOUR MOMENT", such as a bike component (pedal, brake lever, handlebars, chainring or crank) blended into, emerging from, or replacing part of the slogan, logo or a letter. The design should feel intentional, premium, and rider-focused, not cartoonish or over-busy. Colour use should be limited to a maximum of 2–3 colours, incorporating white and/or red from the RIDN logo, with the option to include a Fox-style orange or green accent if it enhances the design. Gradients are allowed to help blend or transition between logo elements and bike components, but they must remain clean, subtle, and suitable for screen printing. The design must work on a black or dark-coloured tee, be scalable, and supplied in vector format.
Target Market(s)
Mountain bike riders, downhill and trail riders, BMX and action sports enthusiasts, aged approx. 16–40. Riders who value clean, modern MTB style apparel that works both on and off the bike.
