I ♥ CY
I'm an entrepreneur who wants to sell a load of t-shirts in Cyprus.
18 to 30 year old guys and girls all over Cyprus... many will be tourists... others will be locals, students, young professionals, etc.
I want an innovative spin on the I ♥ NY t-shirts - something similar to the attached examples.
CY is an abbreviation for Cyprus so I'm thinking do a spray can style C over the N.
Perhaps add 'rpus' below is smaller writing (but this is not essential).
It would be good to have a few drips here and there where appropriate and the odd spray to add to the sprayed on effect.
I want a design that's the EXACT SIZE and DIMENSIONS of the I ♥ NY t-shirts as I trust this will be good for branding and will fit both guys and girls t-shirts.
Initially, I'll be printing these on white t-shirts, so the I and NY need to be in black... if a successful design comes along I'll be needing several different colours created.
As for the sprayed on graffiti style: please keep this to just one colour (cheaper for printing)... and feel free to be creative.
I'm thinking colours that work well could be grey, pink, blue, etc.
Happy designing :-)
Oh, and any questions please ask.
P.S. Note: the 'I ♥ NY' design is available here - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:I…w_York.svg - in several sizes... thought some designers may find it useful.
