Logo Design Brief

Client
United States
Slogan
Benefit Concert
What We Do
This is an annual event with music, entertainment, food and more held at a major sport stadium with thousands of people. It is a charity benefit sponsored by an organization in the bio-sciences industry. The actual identity of the performers is held as a tight secret until the actual event that makes it more fun!
Industry
Non-Profit
Color Preferences
bright solid colors that would look good on dark or light backgrounds. NO GRADIENTS! Limit to 2 or 3 spot colors if possible. Need the PMS #s called out in the final art.
Our Ideas & Additional Information
design can focus on music or general entertainment, people having fun, concert and should have a subtle dna symbol somewhere in the design (in a previous year the symbol was part of a guitar - don't use this but just to give an idea of what was done in the past)

nice start -
note the dna symbol should be a subtle element - probably in the background or part of another element... the main message should be Having FUN!!!!

Some of the early entries are maybe a bit TOO simple - want fun - excitement - something that will make you take a double-take when you see it on a shirt or a poster.... need a bit more illustration of the theme.

Last year colors were bright green, blue and orange on a black shirt - doesn't need to be the same but should be equally vibrant.

feedback from client for all - "great start: we want classic simple modern designs to depict fun and music and excitement (not cartoony though) not too busy - be sure to include a DNA strand some way."

Next Tuesday will be the next client review... thanks for all the great entries so far... look forward to more different approaches so I can show her some REAL alternatives - so if someone has a Different concept - please enter it soon!

remember no gradients please... all instruments and music related symbols should be open... but there may also be icons to depict fun and festival atmosphere!

Note these rankings are just for organization purposes right now and to "get my activity meter back up" The client has to review all of them and I will send her the new ones today.... I hope she will pick from these soon.... Thanks for all the great ideas. Carol

This latest feedback is that the designs are too busy - can we get a few more simple ones in the last few hours? PLEASE - hate to extend but may need to.... am I a bad CH????

Client
OH dear -her first reaction is that they are "not original enough"- I will try to get more specific feedback before we decide if we can modify one of the current designs or if we need to try for a different direction. I hate to be one of those that sit in Judge mode for a while but please be patient - I will re-arrange per her instructions soon.

Client
this is one of those cases where it would help to allow the top 3 to submit modifications - will try to get one she loves without extending but you never know. The event is this summer!

Client
This is what she said: "I think that they all look the same. They all have a guitar or keyboard which looks like last year's design. I'm looking for more of a rock concert logo - not a rehash of last year's design. Some of them are too busy, too cartoonish or not very imaginative. If the Rolling Stones came to them to design the poster for their concert, what would they do? It can't be what they've sent me."

Hi, are you reopening the contest?
13 years ago
 
Logo Designer
I think we have to reopen it - waiting to hear what Ivan says....

Gosh I hate to do that to you all. Start looking for inspiration at 'music' images other than instruments maybe - major rock group posters and things like that and pick the simple ones....The event is this summer.

Oh my, will we have microphones? I will watch out for that offending one that crops up from time to time! <g>

I hope we can make her happy - the concert is in San Francisco - but I doubt bridges or skylines will make her happy - although she is a big baseball fan! no balls or bats either!


I will "blind rank" it this time... don't want to mislead you.

thanks for trying again. ideas like speakers, crowds, microphones, any music symbols or anything relating to an outrageous huge event are welcome.

Client
Still looking for some type of rock star silhouette in a spotlight concept - but simple. Not sure if she will go for it but it hasn't been tried yet.

Client
THANK YOU all who really came in with some cool new ideas at the second round.
This may show the benefit of blind ranking (especially since it was not from the end decision maker)

There are a few brilliant interpretations!

She will review all new entries along with a few favorites from the previous round and they will be ranked next week.

This contest shows the extent of the LT talent range. I hope a version of one of these will be on the 20K shirts I will print!

just want the activity monitor to be on green. The designs have been submitted to the client and will be reviewed next week.

Client
NOTE - those left unranked might want to keep their designs - she may want to revisit this again before she gets closer to the concert this summer.
