La Canoa | KanuZentrum KonstanzLogo Design Contest

Sorry for the confusion please wait with any colors, I will first discuss that wich Benjamin.

Hello. Could you please do the different versions in the colours from the original description?
b) La Canoa-Kanuschule: orange FF8E00
c) StandUp-Konstanz: turqois 23b0a1
d) Schülerpaddeln.de: green 00CC00
e) teamkanu.de: blue 0475BF
f) Bodensee-Kanuweg: red FF4500

Would be interesting to see how it looks like. Thank you very much -Benjamin

This supposed to be the arm of the man behind. We were struggling to show that canoe has double seats so I've tried this one.

Very good! The new mountains are great! It just looks like the first man has got 1 arm too much ;-)

Very nice. I wonder how the one with the door looks like.

I've putted it into a frame though I'm not sure if you meant this one.

I've change the first paddler to paddle on the opposite side. I've also changed the way mountains are drawn.

No big difference. I've just touched the guys sitting in the middle.

Definitely a candidate for the webshop.

I am curious, how this one works inside the frame...

I am curious, how this one works inside the frame...

Great. Cant find the difference to #234...

Yeah, this looks Definitely good. What is the difference to #233? Maybe I am blind... ;-) Although this one is already great, you might try another version with the very first paddler paddling to the right. Just if it is in your time-budget...

One more shot at team conoeing. This time even more recreational bias.

Looks really great. Can you please do an black/white version of this? -Benjamin

The paddles look much better now. It still looks too much like the paddlers sitting in a row rather than two beside each other.

I've edited team activity to look less synchronizes as I noticed in the pictures you provided.

Cool approach. One idea would be to have the articles more inside the cart, maybe also a SUP board. Another would be to combine the cart with #181 or #157.

Here is first take on shopping cart. I'm not sure if that was your idea.

9:2 for #226 Go for it!

Coooool! Definitely the right direction. I discuss that with my team and come back on it soon. - Kai

#226 #225 - two teaching situations.

For the writing: please make both lines the same size and style.

Please leave out the hyphen.

Corrected position of the hand (sorry, I didn't read your comment correctly first time).

Hm. You did good work. The schooling situation is just not intuitive enough to see. Can you play a bit with the motive? Maybe something like the teacher putting his hand on the shoulder of the student or something like that? The two figures should stay in a clear contact. If the second paddel is too much, you can leave it out. See my last private message as contribution to your efforts.

Perfect. (Except for the right holding of the paddle as described in my last personal message).

Hyphen removed.

Instructor/teacher theme.

I think, this is the best version of the writing. Please put the hyphen away.
- Kai

A little adjustment of the body.

I've extended left hand and shortened the paddle.

You can get an impression of the boats by googling our (terrible) website. In fact we are relaunching it within the next months…
- Kai

No loudspeaker please. Try having the teacher standing in (!) the water (waterline somewhere between knees and hip, maybe with some little waves around), looking towards the student and showing something using his arms. Maybe he is holding a paddle too. I guess this logo will be the most difficult one.
- Kai

By the way, since we talks about paddle technique: The paddle should be a little bit shorter and the left hand should be further away from the head, at the height of the eyes… And yes, that is very sophisticated ;-)
- Kai

This graphic is so damn awesome! Please find out, if the title works better in one or two lines and make the font like in #157. Try setting the “by La Canoa” a bit to the right.
- Kai

Please change the title to “Bodensee-Kanuweg (by La Canoa)”. Please find out, if “Bodensee-Kanuweg” works better in 1 or in 2 lines. Please put “by La Canoa” always a bit to the right. If possible use for al logos the same font (non-italic version like already used here).

Awesome!!! - Kai

Please let me know if you prefer instructor with the loudspeaker standing on the shore or rather the one following student in other boat.

This is "c" kept in the same style.

Corrected "e" - team canoe.

This is "e". I was terribly wrong before to put all 12 canoers in one line. Fact is I've never heard of beast like that. As for the teacher in "b" I'm afraid that it can look too busy. Do you want him to stay on the shore or follow in other boat (with loudspeaker?)? Now I have to go out. I can make it later in the evening. Edit: Now I see I will have to add some paddles here. Should be six on one side.

:-) Great design again. Can you also try to show a teaching situation? - Kai

Looks like our admin doesn't mind us to provide more than one logo for your contest. From now on I will assign letter to my every entry that corresponds with each logo version requested.
This one is "b" for kayak school. The common mistake for beginners is to pull paddle with one hand without pushing it in the same time with the other. That's why my kayaker stresses correct use of the paddle.

A kayaker! Great!

I'm more into long range river kayaking (also upstream) than lake based. Europe is a great place for that. We can share experience when contest is over.

I am very curious! - Kai

Thank you for your feedback. I will work on revisions. (When it comes to kayaks I know about them more than you expect).

We will use ether this one or #157 for the Bodensee-Kanuweg Logo. Great work!

So here is your feedback: We ranked it on place 1 now since it has the most potential for the originally idea: One style with remarkable different variations.
The form the general design has now seems to be perfect for us. The wave, the landscape, the fonts (there might be little variations of the fonts in the end, but all in all that is fine for the moment). So there is no need to change anything of these elements anymore. Same thing for the black and white version #158 (that really was the game changer).
What now in the next step has to be adapted are the symbols/boats in the foreground. Here some explanations on the themes:
b) La Canoa Kanuschule: maybe the hardest motive to explain: A kayak would probably work better as a canoe (most of our classes are kayak-classes) and would give a remarkable different logo. If a simple teaching situation could be shown it would be perfekt (e.g. one person in a kayak and one standing and showing something…) If that does not work out, use simply a kayak.
c) StandUp-Konstanz (by La Canoa): Simply a stand-up-paddler instead of the canoe.
d) “Kanuschulausflug.de” will be changed to “Schülerpaddeln.de (by La Canoa)” since that is shorter and clearer to the point. It means “Paddling for Pupils”. We need a Teamkanu with noticible smaller paddlers as for the Teamkanu.de-logo. In general for both Teamkanu.de and Schülerpaddeln.de: the canoes have one single-seat in front and back and 4-5 (4 are enough for the logo) double-seats in the middle. So the boat can look shorter as in the version above.
e) Teamkanu.de (by La Canoa): same symbol as Schülerpaddeln.de, but the paddlers in the regular size just the way they are in the version above.
f) Bodensee-Kanuweg (by La Canoa): all graphics as they are in #157 (or #155), just change the text.
Thankyou for your ridiculous work!

Another few minutes patience please.

I will give feedback within the next 60 minutes. This structure is our favourite candidate for now. At the Moment no need to work on the other designs.

I like it! Can you please try "kanuschulausflug.de" (big) "by La Canoa" (small)?
- Kai

I like it. Can you please try "kanuschulausflug.de" (big) "by La Canoa" (small)?
- Kai

"LaCanoa" does not necessairily have to be in the logo. Maybe as "kanuschulausflug.de" (big) "by La Canoa" (small).
Can you create a 12 person canoe?
- Kai

Great! - Kai

can you please let the lines of the sea (in grey on the right) and the blue line from the wave become "one"?

also please do not let the wave overlap the mountains.

would be nice to see. thank you.
-Benjamin

I'm sorry that nobody mentioned this before: Logoturnament contest formula permits only for one logo to be delivered. (We are allowed to provide black and white version). If you need to get more than one logo you have to arrange it with the winner after the contest is over.

I will provide requested revision later in the afternoon.

The idea would be to have different pictures inside for the different themes. A "Teamkanu" is for up to 12 Persons, so the icon should show a team in a canoe. StandUp-Bodensee needs to show a standup paddlebord and so on...

The black and white version looks a bit overloaded to me. Can you create a more descent version?

I just ranked the new entries down to keep the overview. They are good and I will come back on them later.

Adding custom taglines is fairy easy and effective with the current layout. Please let me know if you want to see version with more realistic drawing of the canoer and mountains. Current version is mostly symbolic.
Jacek

And please start working on the other variations (b-f). The best series of Logos will win the contest. You have good chances because you are the only one until now with a good combination of picture and symbol. The other high-ranked only work with symbols (wave) until now. - Kai

Could you please show us a black and white version of that? And one version with an "seit 1994". Thanks! - Kai

Thanks for a good rank. Take your time to choose the logo that suits you best. Jacek

Very Good! Will be hard to decide ;-)
- Kai

Very nice approach. I like it! - Kai

Thank you for your feedback. I'm just working on it. I will post soon.

Please try another way to integrate the text. I like to see the whole thing with lake and mountains.

Cool sticker. I wonder how it looks like with text.
