Creative Apparel Design for Surface Coating Brand

Job ID: 39677593

Budget: $250 – $750 USD

Job Title:
Graphic Designer Needed for Crew T-Shirts, Trailer Wrap & Brand Identity Support

About Us:
We’re Surface2Surface North Texas, a corporate franchise of Surface2Surface Global, one of the most trusted names in decorative surfaces for over 30 years. Our tagline is proudly:
"America’s Favorite Decorative Surfaces Company".

Our work has been featured on major networks including:
HGTV, Discovery Channel, truTV, DIY Network, CNBC, Magnolia Network, and more.

As we expand our national franchise network, we’re looking for a graphic designer who can help us elevate our visual identity across apparel and vehicles — starting with our North Texas team, and then scaling outward to support other locations across the country.

Project Phase 1: Crew T-Shirt Design (High Priority)
Purpose:
Create a visually stunning, professional, and wearable short-sleeve crew shirt for our installation teams who work outdoors on decorative overlay systems.

What We Need:

Shirt will be in military green or similar

Back of shirt: Large Surface2Surface logo with updated wording:
→ "S2S North Texas"
→ Dallas skyline incorporated behind the logo
→ Bold identifier like: "Installation Specialist" or "Surface Specialist"
→ Tagline: "America’s Favorite Decorative Surfaces Company"

Front of shirt:
→ Smaller chest logo variation (we’re open to creative layout)
→ Optional: bold chest type or visual emblem to modernize the look

Goal:
These shirts should feel like something our team is proud to wear — not just workwear, but merch people ask about. We’re not looking for typical construction company shirts. We want bold, modern, and retail-quality graphics that reflect the national brand we are building.

Deliverables:

Vector artwork (front and back) suitable for screen printing

Fonts outlined or included

High-resolution formats: .AI, .PDF, .PNG, .JPG

Project Phase 2: Long-Sleeve Sublimated Promo Shirt (Flexible Timeline)
Purpose:
This shirt will be used for client giveaways, branding, and trade shows — a showstopper piece with full creative flexibility.

What We Want:

Distressed American flag background, draped across entire shirt (front, back, sleeves)

Industrial stone/texture overlay integrated for grit and boldness

Large S2S North Texas logo, slanted across back or chest — modern and oversized

Ghosted elements of TV logos from our featured shows/networks

Tagline: "America’s Favorite Decorative Surfaces Company"

No boxed/square layouts — creative freedom welcomed

Deliverables:

Print-ready sublimation artwork for long sleeve shirt (front, back, sleeves)

Layered files preferred (Photoshop or Illustrator)

High-res mockups appreciated

Project Phase 3: Trailer Wrap Design (Flexible Start, Higher Visibility)
Purpose:
Design a bold and professional wrap for our enclosed trailer, used as a mobile billboard for the brand. This trailer will serve as the model for all future franchisees.

What’s Important:

Trailer branded as S2S North Texas (Dallas skyline behind the logo)

Must include tagline: "America’s Favorite Decorative Surfaces Company"

No before/after photos — focus on bold, clean graphics

Areas labeled: “Patios • Pool Decks • Driveways • Walkways • Commercial & Residential”

Note products (text only):
→ Mold-Set Overlay System, Epoxy Floors, Metallic Epoxies, Micro-Blend™ System

“As Seen On” section with network logos (HGTV, Discovery, truTV, etc.)

QR code integration:

One on back door (ramp) – directs to 60-second video or booking funnel

Smaller ones on each side – positioned in corners

Visit: S2SNorthTexas.com to learn about who we are and what we do

Deliverables:

Full trailer wrap design files (scaled correctly, print-ready)

Vector artwork

Design must be adaptable for future franchisees (we’ll replace skyline and region name)

What We’re Looking For:
A single experienced graphic designer who can confidently handle apparel and vehicle design

Someone who understands brand identity and visual storytelling

Comfortable collaborating and making quick tweaks as needed (especially on the T-shirts)

You’re not creating a new brand or logo — you’re enhancing a trusted one

Prior experience with franchise branding is a plus

Timing & Budget
T-Shirts are high priority — we need those designs ASAP for field operations

Trailer Wrap can follow — flexible start, but it needs to be iconic and franchise-ready

Budget: $600–$700
We’re open to adjusting for the right designer who brings high-end value and strategic design vision

To Apply:
Please include:

A link to your portfolio (showing apparel and/or vehicle branding work)

A short message outlining your process

Estimated turnaround time for the shirt designs

Confirmation you can provide layered, print-ready files

We’re excited to find a long-term design partner as we grow Surface2Surface into a national household name. Let’s build something bold together.
