The Story Behind the iQOO 13 Merchandise Design

The idea for this design came up in November 2024, when @Aojesh  suggested creating merchandise for iQOO 13. I started designing right after our discussion and had 30-40% of the design completed by mid-November. However, delays crept in due to sem-end exams and December’s packed schedule, as I was juggling job commitments during Goa's busy holiday season.

I kept refining the design with feedback from Questers, fellow Rangers, and friends outside the community, and the final product went through three drafts:

Draft 1: Completed by late November, this design was heavily inspired by BMW aesthetics. While visually appealing, feedback was clear—it felt more like BMW merchandise and didn’t represent iQOO 13’s identity.

Draft 2: Finalized in mid-December, this version incorporated the iQOO 13 placed behind the BMW-style logo. Although some liked it, most people felt it wasn’t versatile enough for daily wear. It didn’t align with my goal of creating something that could be worn casually at college, parties, or events.

Draft 3: This final version struck the perfect balance—BMW-inspired aesthetics paired with prominent iQOO 13 branding in the text, logos, and title. It stayed true to iQOO’s identity while remaining stylish and wearable for any occasion.

What do you think of the final design? Let me know your thoughts!
