2019 ICS Producer SummitLogo Design Contest

A couple of different weights of Gibson are up for review: #163 and #164

No prob!... on it right now.

Can we see a version that has "Be Captive" in a Gibson font?

Also, I see others are using that fountain icon from the city of KC's official brand. I would avoid using that, as it might lead to legal issues :) I am sure you already know that though, as this is not your first rodeo by any means lol

I agree. If I think of other ways to incorporate without getting too busy, I will post them up!

Thanks, Jake! There might be too much going on now.. I think I like the original better!

I played around a lot with the level of realism and legibility for the fountains, and I settled on this! They are apparent and contribute to the entire KC vibe, but not distracting from everything else. I will keep thinking on other potential ways to do this that still jives with the rest of the logo.

You bet! Let me see what I can do.

Any way we can incorporate fountains? KC is known for fountains. Thanks!

This one is my favorite of the options. Agree with the all white!
Thank you!!

New files are up!... I think the words still read best when all 1-color white, but I look forward to what your thoughts are as well.

One more piece of feedback. Can we use Gibson Light on ICS Producer School instead of Semibold?

Yeah, that makes sense! Let me see what I can do.

Thank you! Possibly make Royalty gold too? Just thinking of ways to include it that wouldn't be an eye sore!

Sounds great! I am on it :)

Can we see an option with Royalty in our green color maybe?

Liking this one the most - wondering about colors. I like white behind the buildings like on #109. Maybe if the boarders to the shield were thinner, that would help too? I think focus on the purple with white.. and then if we could add in an element of gold? Like on the crown? But leave the banner a different color?

New entries are up! :)

#105, #106, #107, #108, #109

Nice... all great feedback per usual, thank you! I will work on some revisions for us right now.

Also, wonder what it would look like to mess with the colors a little. I don't think Gold necessarily goes with our color scheme, but do think it says "royal" - so if there is a way to incorporate gold onto this without looking out of place, maybe in place of the blue border?

Can we see some more options for fonts on Royalty? Something that looks a little less "sports" like? Getting some feedback that it's not "royal" enough if that makes sense? Maybe incorporate icons into the letters where makes sense?

Here are some new version of the top ranked design:

- Gibson Bold: #85
- Gibson Semibold: #86
- Gibson Regular: #87

Oh nice... I love Gibson—use it quite a bit myself. This should pair beautifully with that. In fact, Gotham in the banner portion is very similar to Gibson. I can swap that out to Gibson for us to help maintain brand consistency moving forward!

Jake, very much appreciate your submissions!! I do like the more recent versions because of the simplicity of the font. We typically use Gibson, so as long as it compliments that font - it's great.

Our background will either be white or purple, so I like the versatility of the boarder is good.

Appreciate it! If you think of any other ideas or potential revisions, just drop me a message. Happy to keep firing up other concepts for you. I will also keep brainstorming myself in the meantime :)

Very nice!! LOVE the crown on the O

Added KC, MO and just finetuned the overall balance with this one... really loving where it's at now! :)

And here is one with a lot more bold/clean lettering, so optimize legibility a bit more :)

Hello,

Here is my idea for the branding for your upcoming summit! I think something very clean, bold and easy to read is the way to go here—you don't want to get too cliparty or complicated. This logo will look awesome on everything from large signage on down to small emblems (so many cool options you could do).

Also, as you can see from my initial variations, the white border allows it to look great on virtually any background color or texture (#70). It is very easy to do color adjustments on the fly.

I look forward to any thoughts you might have, and will gladly provide swift revisions as needed.

Thanks!
Jake
