Costa BravaLogo Design Contest

Thanks! I am looking for something much less corporate and has a personality and "feel" to it. Maybe that might include a sun-, sea-scape of some kind, and letters that have a bit more "attitude", they aren't obnoxious, but instead very subtle. I would like the logo to make people want to look further into what it means.

Hi! Here are some hints for getting the most out of your contest as it progresses:

~~ Rank designs daily -- this will encourage participation.
~~ Rank and re-rank a variety of designs to get a variety of new entries.
~~ Ranking gets your contest noticed! Unless your contest is private, 1st place entries are posted to the portfolio page: https://logotournament.com/portfolio
~~ Ranking designs daily will also keep your contest from getting cluttered.
~~ The more feedback you provide, the better results you are going to see.
~~ Designers are not offended by "Not Interested"
~~ Over-use of "Not Interested" discourages participation.
~~ Ranking is a non-monetary means of showing appreciation for designers hard work.
~~ Designers earn points for designs ranked in the top 10. We like to earn points.

~~ NOTE: While in JUDGING mode, the designer ranked in 1st can still submit revisions.

Thanks for the submissions so far. I am looking for something a little edgier. When designing the logo, imagine what it might look like on a shirt. Something distinctive and classic.

Thanks to everyone who has submitted entries thus far. Perhaps I need to further clarify what I am looking for.
I think that using the name in the logo is less important to me than finding a cool trademark. I am looking for an edgy, more rebellious themed logo, but it subtle and classic in design. The paradox of those two elements defines the identity that Central America, and adventuresome fishermen/travelers epitomize. Unfortunately, I do not have anything comparable to what I am looking for that I could show contestants as a guide, but I will continue to make brief comments until it appears someone is on the right track. Also, please let me know if I am providing adequate feedback and instruction. I want to attempt serve you best in refining these designs.

Thanks!

Contestants, thanks again for your great work and submissions. However, I have not found many of them that suit the look I am interested in (please don't take it personally!). I consider many of submissions may have been the result of too little information from me. As a reference, I have uploaded a copyrighted trademark of a well-known apparel and outdoor gear manufacturer. Please have a look on the Contest Brief page for the attachment of the logo to assist with additional ideas. Thanks, and keep 'em coming!

Thanks!

Please refer to attachment in the Contest Brief for new ideas.

Folks, Im not sure if this makes a difference but, it Costa Brava had an official band it would be the Black Keys.
