The Idea
How do you make a new user feel like they’ve just stepped into a game-first nation? Not just an app.
We set out to design t-shirts not as swag but as symbols of identity. Something users would wear and instantly feel like citizens of Hike Gaming Nation (HGN).
SCOPE
An internal concept project to create onboarding exclusive t-shirt designs for Rush Gaming Universe users. The goal was to visually express the spirit of Play, Earn, and Compete.
Moodboard
Power Play
A bold, futuristic identity rooted in competitive gaming, digital culture, and streetwear attitude. Built for players who wear their hustle.
Play + Power + Identity + Future
Design Thinking
Every visual choice including fonts, badges, and layouts was designed to feel part of a larger universe. These weren’t just t-shirts, but game world gear you’d earn inside the game.
Outcome
The project explored how Hike Gaming Nation’s futuristic and gamified identity could extend into physical form. The t-shirt designs became a creative foundation for translating core brand themes like play, competition, and belonging into wearable statements. Though unreleased, the work sparked internal interest, with select designs shortlisted for future drops and referenced in cross-functional reviews as early explorations of community-led onboarding expression.
