This section highlights apparel-focused projects developed as standalone systems — built to live on fabric first.
Ruby´s Pizza
Ruby’s Pizza wanted a bold graphic element designed specifically for apparel. The result is a confident pizza character badge built to function as a wearable statement.
The character stands like a bouncer — arms crossed, muscular, unapologetic. The primary badge reads “Elite Pizza Club”, with “Ruby’s Pizza” positioned subtly beneath. A standalone character version allows flexible use across different garment formats.

“Manuel did an awesome job on our character design. He created multiple variations until everything matched our expectations. It was a real pleasure working with him. Our next design will definitely be an Unterhuber.”

ZigZag
ZigZag requested a minimal but bold graphic for apparel.

The result is a highly reduced graphic statement designed for strong visibility on fabric — subtle in concept, bold in execution.

Ripped & Roasted Coffee Co.
Ripped & Roasted blends fitness culture with coffee obsession. Two apparel graphics were developed around an espresso cup character – expressive, slightly exaggerated, and built for wearable humor.
One design shows the cup attempting double unders, tangled in the rope as espresso spills out.
Headline: “F*ck double unders”
Subline: “Love double espresso”
The second design features the same character lifting a bending barbell – strained expression, coffee dripping like sweat.
Headline: “Strong coffee”
Subline: “Strong squats”
Both graphics are built as bold, apparel-first statements – playful, relatable, and instantly readable from a distance.

Blackjack Sports Co.
Blackjack Sports Co. required a bold, character-driven graphic for their golf apparel line. The concept centers around a confident golf ball character — cap on, one hand on the hip, the other resting a club over the shoulder.
The primary badge reads:
“Tee It High” (top)
“Let It Fly” (bottom)
The system includes horizontal, stacked, and badge variations – built for flexible use across garments and formats. The result is playful but controlled — a graphic identity element designed to feel confident on and off the course.
