    3:17 I think there's something very clever about the logo on the t-shirt. From this distance, it looks just like a tiger with stripes. The obscurity of the letters still adds to the overall design. Not sure if intentional but very cool either way!

    On that business card I think he was a little bit harsh, but what I would maybe do is an oversized red logo in the bottom left side that is 75% in from the bottom and the left, and goes up perhaps 75% of the white background. Then just drop opacity to like 20-30%, enough to it is visible but also so it doesn't interfere with the text. To keep some brand continuity as well I would probably opt to change the flat red line to instead incorporate the three peaks idea from the logo, I'd do it incredibly subtle, almost flat but just enough to see the three peaks design.

    Am I the only one seeing the sense in SWITCH logo? This isn't a lightning bolt in my opinion, it represents a human standing on the scooter which you can clearly see on the icon. That dot on , let's stay letter i, in the word SWITCH, that dot actually represents human head and bolt is actually a torso and legs.
