Nanda Batra feels YOUniquely better now


Nanda Batra puts up at Delhi. She’s been with an electronic monolith serving the organization as a successful relationship manager for years. Inconsequential of her achievements and success, Nanda has maintained quite a down-to-earth attitude and approach so far in life, if she is to be believed. However, she’s quite bullish to show-off the nuances of her profession – which can jolly well be acknowledged and accepted by others as her “electronic” personality and disposition.

So when an email reached us at itsyounique@gmail.com following Nanda’s visit to our Blog http://www.itsyounique.blogspot.com/, we, at YOUnique, felt that an “analytical creative” was on the anvil for us to execute.

We chose the base hue of Nanda’s umbrella as earth-colour simply to signify the lady’s down-to-earth stance.

Then uniform intra as well as inter-linked shapes of square and circle were created – as if different electronic diagrams meshed altogether forming an integrated circuit – on the umbrella to showcase Nanda’s penchant for electronics and the growth curve of her solid relationship management abilities.

After all, it pays to fall in love with your profession. Whereas it satisfies to get married with YOUnique only. And for that, just an email at itsyounique@gmail.com is adequate.

Subhadra humbly turns herself YOUnique


The stir of “uniqueness” – as spooned out to you by YOUnique – has not only given the working women a reason to unfurl their umbrellas here and there in style but also tugged at the heartstrings of the homemakers!

Otherwise, being an epitome of simplicity and innocuousness, Ms. Subhadra Goswami wouldn’t have asked for a YOUnique umbrella over her head, even while, as per her self-admission, she has always been a housewife for the last 20 years or so.

And believe it or not, she just wanted to flaunt this “home-longing” of hers on her umbrella… but nothing more, nothing less, or nothing else.

The task seemed easy apparently, however it wasn’t. Because in a creative thought process too little info or nothingness is too much pressure for an apt idea and its execution.

Nevertheless, we tried and finally cracked our nuts.

We took ice-blue as the base colour of the umbrella, given Subhadra’s ice cool attitude and temperament.

Then we decided to follow a geometrical pattern for the designing in such a way so that it’s somewhat connected to the “chariot” (rath), which takes Subhadra to places. (For Subhadra and the chariot connection, please refer to Mr. Jagannath and Mr. Balaram... lol).

At the tip of the umbrella an auspicious-pattern (alpana) is created in line with the holiness or sanctity of the name “Subhadra”.

Plus her presence as the nucleus in the piety as well as in her family is visually defined with the “yellow” circles that distinctly visible… radiating positivism all around. Also, along the circumference, the identical shapes of square and triangle are devised, keeping Subhadra at the centre, to decipher, “Home is where, Subhadra is and home is what, she carries.” And that “home carrying” factor is denoted with the “navy-blue” circles, which represent the wheels under the chariot-home.

We used the different hues of green along with yellow in the geometrical constructions simply to highlight that Subhadra’s “humbleness” is actually the reservoir of her all positive energies.

So what on earth are you waiting for? To follow the suit of Subhadra, all you need to do is send a mail to us at itsyounique@gmail.com. And that’s it!

YOUnique gratifies Anuj’s contribution



Anuj Gupta of Crayons, Delhi is the man behind the Brand YOUnique’s logo. It’s him only, who created the logo of this happening Brand, denoting the uniqueness of YOUnique… so simply, yet so powerfully.

For his creative contribution to YOUnique, we owed him our heartfelt gratitude and gratefulness thus decided to gift him a YOUnique T-shirt… because Anuj is unique indeed.

We selected black as the base colour of the T because Anuj likes the shade.

Now, Anuj is the little of the big; hence integrated like a molecule (Anu)… so he remains at the heart of everything. On the contrary, he has a big heart – which is loved by everyone rather touchingly for its/his honesty, genuineness and the real life in it/him. And that’s what visually presented on the front of the T with “a hand that touches his big and red heart.”

Also, Aunj’s bike is inseparable from him that takes the ad-am everywhere. And the mark of a bike tyre signifies that very biking spree (josh) of the rider pretty unabashedly.

Moreover, the home is where his heart lives in. To Anuj, his home is like a piece of precious crystal that needs the man’s constant attention and longing for it. Hence he is like the vine, which spurs to life and grows around or on the wall of a home. And that’s what exactly expressed on the backside of the T with the vine engulfed crystal bowl.

In case, you have liked this humble gift from YOUnique to Anuj, feel free to ask for such Ts, so that you can also gratify someone’s contribution to your life – personal or professional. And for that, just an email will do at itsyounique@gmail.com

Three YOUnique sisters





Dipa, Mita and Rita are sisters. The awesome threesome hail from a very educated and cultured family. They are vibrant, quite chirpy, especially Mita and Rita. Three of them in their 50s; albeit they are still in touch with their school mates that speaks quite a volume of their intention and zeal for keeping contact with people. Besides, their sense of responsibilities is like anything and can jolly well be considered as devotion or worship to any duty, which they are entrusted with.

So, when the three sis approached us for three YOUnique Umbrellas, for the reason obvious we became excited. And from the nuts within our skulls, we churned out the following –

Education and culture spread the fragrance of a family. And what else but flowers can better air this very essence of a family… through the family’s children?! Also, flowers represent vibrancy, compassion, care, dutifulness, sensibilities, sensitivities, responsiveness… and, above all else, happiness – the quality, which the three sis aptly and duly exude, individually, as well as in fraternity.

Hence floral! Precisely three-types of flower were taken as the anchor motif for the design of the umbrellas.

The base hues Blue, Maroon and Mauve were selected as per Dipa, Mita and Rita’s respective choices of colours.

In case, equaling the three YOUnique sisters, you too wish to bring “uniqueness” to your sibling-bonds; we are just a mail away from you at itsyounique@gmail.com

YOUnique energy for Green Concretex manpower


Green Concretex Materials (P) Ltd., based at Kolkata, is the RMC (Ready Mixed Concrete) behemoth in Eastern India. Their clientele not only includes the construction giants across India but also it’s the Brand’s quality that creates a new benchmark in its category across industries.

Therefore, when YOUnique was entrusted with the job of creating YOUnique T-shirts for the workforce (220 nos.) of Green Concretex, we felt the real nerve in order to match their expectation and live up to our promise of uniqueness.

More so, because the client’s brief was simple, “Give us the Ts that will bolster our image and the spirit to work harder and better.” So, you can say, we were asked to create the “energy-clothing” for the men with concrete-power.

The base colour of the Ts was taken as “grey” highlighting the concrete factor of the Brand.

As the name suggests, (Green) Concretex has always been responsible toward environment. Thus we began the design with two green-stripes (in front) as if to represent the Brand is bearing the green-responsibility on its shoulder while it faces the world.

We followed it up with the Brand’s logo – which is the green earth under the shelter of concrete petals – and the Bran’s name along with the punch line that reads, “environ-friendly concrete.”

From there, we visited the backside of the Ts and drew two parallel infinitely open-ended wavy strokes that denoted the Brand’s way-to-go surging and energetic attitude. In fact, this design also depicted (the mechanism of) a transit mixture, which is an integral instrument that carries the Brand in places.

Plus, we mentioned the slogan of the Brand, “think concrete. get concretex.”, adding that very lethal punch of the Brand’s intrinsic value proposition to its communication.

Now, if you also look forward to help your employees wear such thematically designed energy-clothing; be a sport and shoot your mail to us at itsyounique@gmail.com

Parents’ marriage anniversary made YOUnique by Barnalee





When a marriage travels all the terrains of life and reaches the 41st milestone of togetherness, it indeed calls for a celebration! And what else but a daughter’s love can add the perfect sheen and sentiment to the sensitivities of this grand occasion!

Thanks to Barnalee and her intention to present her mother Sandhya and father Bijan – the awesome twosome – a surprise gift, we, at YOUnique, are privileged to bring you the YOUnique bed sheet and the YOUnique pillow covers to commemorate your marriage anniversary, favouring your uniqueness.

The parents in unison are like the tablas. Paired and compatible to each other under one roof having built a sweet home for a happy family… for 41 years from now. When Sandhya (the right tabla or Dayan) creates the bol (rhythm or beat) Bijan (the left tabla or Bayan) complements.

Then, Barnalee – their daughter – takes the family’s education & discipline (represented by books); interest & liking (represented by garden in floral pattern); labour & performance (represented by the ghungroos); and human-values & morals (represented by a baby girl, whom Barnalee adopted with her father’s support) to places in every walks of life. This phenomenon is showcased by the footprints of a small girl, since to her parents every girl ever remains a child… and their daughter is no exception either.

In addition, the newspaper highlights one of Bijan’s favourite activities i.e. reading a daily in-depth, where on the other hand the crossword puzzle underlines Sandhya’s skill to solving the same with utmost ease.

The pillow covers are designed exactly in sync with the two’s individual uniqueness as extended renditions of the bed sheet.

For, if you wish to follow Barnalee’s footsteps in order to make your parents’ wedding anniversary YOUnique, reach us at itsyounique@gmail.com anytime, from anywhere in the world.

YOUnique cheers to Abhinandan



When a guy’s name is Abhinandan, what else can he afford to do but doing things that fetch him appreciation and acknowledgment all around amidst cheer and applause!

Thus, it was really a spirited work for us to accomplish, at YOUnique, with Abhinandan’s T-shirt.

The base colour of the T is selected as red, which connotes Abhinandan’s youthfulness in keeping with the cheer of appreciation, praise and accolades.

The guitar denotes Abhi’s electrifying personality and presence that he offers to lives, whoever he meets… as if Abhi carries the fire in the belly always.

The Friday Garden on the T’s chest; close to Abhi’s heart, expresses his romantic nature and empathises his likings for love stories.

And the split star reinforces the very fact that Abhi personifies, as well as amplifies, the CHEER (may be with occasional jeers) of admiration and quite a star, as the centre of attraction, wherever he goes and whatever you does!

Plus, information Technology (IT) is Abhi’s profession. And his knowledge in this field, as per his conviction and confidence, is rather deep. Thus, even while, or even if, the IT industry is somewhat dwindling, he can afford to lay back on his knowledge and solid understanding of the subject, and simply relax, thinking of the success-pie, (as portrayed by a chunk of cake), in future.

Exactly that is projected on the back side of Abhi’s T.

Now, if the star in you is also up to be celebrated and cheered like this rather YOUniquely, just a mail will do, only at itsyounique@gmail.com

Supratim dons his YOUnique attitude




If his self-perception was to be believed, Supratim was no hero but an average next door guy. Albeit when he desired to flaunt his “uniqueness” rather YOUniquely, we were happy with his attitude, which, frankly, fell apart quite in contrast to his typical submissive approach towards life.

From his answers to our YOUnique questionnaire, we discovered the following facets and facts of Supratim –

He loves to love. Truly, unconditionally and, for that matter, doesn’t mind to get hurt at heart. He values each and every relationship, and tries to empathise each one’s sentiment in his own humble way. Moreover, he never flutters when it boils down carrying responsibilities, even if the onus grows really BIG on him.

Interesting! Isn’t it?

Perhaps this emotional composition in his cells inspired Supratim to take microbiology as his subject of research. And, his determination to excel in his research is awesome, as perceived from his attachment to the work.

Once the postmortem of Supratim’s uniqueness got over, we began to design his YOUnique T.

Black is chosen as the base colour of the T to ooze out confidence off Supratim, as well as to meet his favourite colour.

A larger than life BIG heart is created on the chest of the T with a variety of human expressions to portray the constitution of Supratim’s heart that’s not only as BIG as this but also holds so much so kaleidoscopic emotions in it.

The ant represents Supratim’s humble yet responsible to the core nature, bearing onus many times beyond his capacity.

The three very words LOVE, CARRY and LIVE form the staircase of Supratim’s beliefs and values... for him to step on and climb up, gradually, in life.

And on the back of the T, the lab with magnified micro-cells connotes Supratim’s personification as a determined and dedicated micro-biology research fellow – who slogs hard and honest day in and day out.

Now, in case your non-hero persona is also starving to feed itself with such a YOUnique attitude and aura, count on us at itsyounique@gmail.com, immediately.

Maurin enjoys YOUniqueness at New Jersey



Anuradha flew down to Kolkata from New Jersey, USA. She met us at YOUnique and desired to gift a YOUnique Umbrella to her boss Maurin.

From her, we came to know that Maurin was a dynamic lady with full of positive energy.

Maurin loves movies and has a strong liking for India and its culture. Precisely, her fondness goes berserk for Indian art forms – which possess intricacy in design and colours.

Also, Maurin loves jungles with all wildness intact and the lady works in a credit insurance firm.

With these dopes on Maurin, our creative adrenalin began to flow.

First, we zeroed in on the base colour of the Umbrella. We chose golden-yellow to exude Maurin’s aura of positivism.

A film strip is done to highlight the fact that the lady is a movie buff.

The parapets and minarets in Rajasthani miniature, the elephant and the badshah on it in Mughal miniature, and the pattern where a tiger and a lion are fighting with each other in vine-configuration are introduced into the design to meet and amplify her fondness for India and the country’s rich heritage of art, as well as for her longing for jungles with the ferocity aplomb.

Finally, the dollar signs with the wings represent Maurin’s credit insurance profession; as if those dollars are the elves from some other planets, providing and ensuring respite and succor to people quite in contrast to the current global credit and financial scenario – that’s anything but insured, to say the least.

Now, if you want to insure your boss’s or any colleague’s YOUniqueness like Anuradha did, we are just a mail away from you at itsyounique@gmail.com

Sanchari gets a YOUnique birthday gift




“It’s interesting!” A mail did hit our inbox with this subject line. Sanjeev from Delhi shot that mail to us, at YOUnique, after he went through our blog itsyounique.blogspot.com.

For his friend Sanchari, he wanted some YOUnique gifts to make her Birthday – that’s on 24th March – memorable and “unique”!

From his answers to our YOUnique questionnaire, we came to know the following “uniqueness” of Sanchari –

She is romantic; loves to befriend but everyone or anyone. Quite open and chirpy to the people she’s comfortable with. However, she’s not humbug rather easy going. She likes the sea and the beach. She travels a lot and pretty dynamic in her approach. Media, precisely Space Marketing, is her profession, and she dons the manager’s cap with The Indian Express Limited. And her nickname is Bubble, truly in line with her easy flowing and supple personality. Moreover, she loves floral patterns and her favourite shades are Pink, Green, Blue and Peach.

We first recommended a YOUnique T-shirt to Sanjeev, and then on a second thought we offered him the duo-combo pack of a T-shirt and an Umbrella. He readily accepted our suggestion and gave us the go ahead.

Our job took off with the T-shirt. We chose Pink as its base colour. Because Pink is very girly, very romantic. On the front, a chirpy and jumping-off-the-sea dolphin is painted within a close circle with a hint of beach as expressed by the coconut trees in vicinity and a floating flower. This composition amplifies Sanchari’s persona and disposition, and her likings at a go.

Two different floral patterns followed in to complement Sanchari’s preference to the same.

On the back, we drew a doll as Sanchari, blowing off Bubble(s) – which is her nickname, incidentally – as if she’s taking herself and her media space in places. And to harp on this fact, one bubble is enlarged to accommodate three major media vehicles such as TV, Radio and Newspaper.

Once we were done with the T, we did lend our nuts to slog on the Umbrella.

We chose green as the Umbrella base. For, green is what that finds favour with both the sun and the rain; so does an Umbrella. Also the shade mingles with Pink in perfect harmony.

We extended the T’s theme up to the Umbrella sans the dolphin. The fish resigned off the Umbrella, since the Umbrella will be used in outdoor only and for lesser time than the T, hence its focal points should be limited and precise.

And in the process, the duo-combo pack of YOUnique items got ready and gifted to Sanchari (by us at Kolkata) on her birthday on behalf of her friend Sanjeev - who cares.

Now, if you want to express the same spirit and affection for your beloved ones with YOUnique gifts, help your mail reach us at itsyounique@gmail.com, today!
