Black Box Youth PlayhouseLogo Design Contest

We are a small but vibrant nonprofit children's theater company, offering classes, workshops, productions, and a variety of other performing arts-related opportunities for young artists to explore the magic of the theater, and the artists within themselves.

We use the color black in our marketing quite extensively. I'd love the logo to incorporate black, but also to be generous with a variety of different jewel tones.

This is our current logo. We are changing the name of our organization and also the mission. Instead of an arts center catering to a variety of types of artists, we will be limiting ourselves to theater and to children/youth. We'd like the logo to continue to reflect fun and vibrant, as our current one does, while also speaking to the fact that we're a performing arts company. Reflecting the fact that we're a children's group is all right, but we need to be careful to appear too "childish," as we don't want to alienate the teens. I know that can be a fine line... :-)
