Design Service
We understand that many potential clients have long-standing relationships with certain manufacturers that they want to maintain.
We want you to wear the clothes we produce, but if that is not an option, then we also want you to wear our bold and dynamic designs! There are no design fees for orders that are placed with us.
When it comes to kit designs, often someone is either elected or volunteers to design the kit.
If they don't already know how to use the basic tools associated with graphic design applications, their approach may be to go on Youtube to watch tutorials in hopes of figuring out the applications functionality. They may very well grasp the basics of the application tools through trial and error. In 99.9% of the cases, limited artistic and technological skills, the result will be a simple and less than awe-inspiring design.
It is a very big challenge for the unskilled designer who has never designed a cycling kit, to go from a design created on a computer screen to making it work on a 3D surface (the human body). Without the skill and talent of an experienced kit designer, the unskilled designer will lose the essence of the design because they will not understand the variables involved when designing for a 3D surface. There is one truism for the amateur designer:
Knowing how to use a graphic design application does not make one a talented artist nor does it mean that the talent level is sufficient enough to design for a 3D surface.
Their approach to design is to observe what the current kit design trend is, copy it, then change the colors and logos. The reaction from the viewer normally run alone these lines; "oh that looks nice, it kinda reminds me of the (insert the name of any Pro or local amateur team/shop kit)". The result will always look like what it really is; a knock off, a copy. This popular approach results in the democratization of kit design; which does nothing more than create widespread design mediocrity.
An Artist is born with an innate, high level talent. Creating art for an artist is not an exercise born out of necessity; creating art is synonymous with who they are, it defines them.
True artists create what they create best; timeless high-level art. By commissioning us to create a design for you, you will receive an awesome design that you can be proud of, draw the attention of the viewer, and that others will be envious of.

Logo Service
When you think of a famous brand, the first thing that comes to mind is its logo. The logo is the most essential component of any brand and also the most difficult to create. A logo must be aesthetically pleasing, and a reflection of your company, team, or organization’s credibility. An amateurish logo design can more than likely make your kit design fail for a number of reasons. We can provide you with a unique logo that will be complimentary to, not distracting from, the overall design presentation of your kit.
