Castle Mountain Freestyle Ski ClubLogo Design Contest

Hi there,

Hope your having a good week so far?

Here are some of my concepts. With all of my submissions, I've gone for something that's fairly clean and simple, yet striking. One I've created an icon that works well within the logo or as a stand alone element, one that can be used for things like favicons. The other, instead of creating a separate icon / typography combination, I've created an all encompassing logo / unit. One that can be used for additional elements just as watermarks.

Also wanted to explain #5 ... In this icon I've combined the initials C, M and F and castle turrets!
The "C" is the blue and grey element combined.
The "F" is either in the negative white space on the inside of the C OR the blue and red elements combined.
The "M" is the entire thing if you tilt your head to the left or rotate the entire thing 90º clockwise.
The Castle turrets are when you tilt your head to the right or rotate the icon 90º anticlockwise.

Hope all that made sense :)

The logos are 100% vector so will scale well to any size, and works well in full colour, B&W and on coloured backgrounds if needed.

It would be my pleasure to work up any variations so please do say.
I look forward to your comments or thoughts.

Regards,
Angus

Hi Angus,
Thanks for your work on our project. We really like entry #6 - like the simplicity of it - the castle is really obvious but isn't fussy or overdone. We were a bit worried about putting a "castle" symbol on a boy's t-shirt, but I think even the boys will like this logo. I'm wondering if you would play around with the colours - I think some black would be great. Would you also try a version of the logo with just "CASTLE FREESTYLE" instead of the entire name. Thank you....I feel like we're on the right track.

Hi there,

Thanks for the great feedback and comments, always appreciated!
Would be my pleasure to work up some variations, no problems at all.

Speak to you soon.

Cheers
Angus

And here are those colour options; #7, #8, #9, #10, #11, #12 and #13

If there is a specific combination or tone you'd like to see, don't hesitate to ask.

Cheers

Hi Angus....we REALLY like the colour combination of entry #9. Thanks, its definitely my first choice overall
at the moment.

Hi there,

Thanks glad you like it ... And of course if you'd like any other changes do let me know!

Cheers
Angus

And just experimenting with #37, #38 and #39 - trying to make it simpler, but keeping the overall look and feel.

And one more with #40 - trying a more shield-like shape :)

Thanks Angus….I'll be showing the top designs to some athletes tonight. I think they were wanting the logo to go on a dark (black, navy or grey) hoodie. Would you outline #9 in white if you were using it on black or what do you think would work best?

Hi there,

Hope you've had a good Friday so far?
Great hope they like the designs :)

Well there are two ways we could approach it;
(1) exactly as you've said - we put a white keyline around the outside OR
(2) we reverse the colours ..... So if it's going on a black background, we make all black elements white or a grey or a light blue - basically making them work for whichever background it goes on.

Hope that helps.

Cheers
Angus
