Hanapa'a Sushi CompanyLogo Design Contest

Great start! #1-3 is a perfect play on our existing logo kicked up a notch. Looks 100 times better than our current logo. #4 is a creative new twist and very eye catching as well.

While we do like the direction it's going, one element is missing. We are a sushi company, not a fishing company. How do we portray that? Chopsticks as fishing poles, sushi rolls as fishing reels, etc... We need creative ideas from all of you. How can we add in sushi elements into the logo while keeping the yellow fin tuna (ahi) and fishing boat theme going? We're also open to total new and creative ideas as well.

Hanapa'a in the Hawaiian language is a fishing phrase meaning "I have a bite." Its typically said when you are about to catch a fish or catch one. Most people know the fish from Hawaii is some of the most sought after. We export worldwide to buyers and wholesalers who are willing to pay a premium price. With that, at Hanapa'a Sushi Company, we only use the best and freshest fish for our sushi and thus our motto, "Sushi bar quality at take out prices!" We use the same grade of fish you find in most high end sushi bars without the price tag.

Hope this helps with the creative direction!

We like 15, 4 and 8 for the extra added color. 9-11 is a unique idea however, we have a hard time liking it. Another thought to keep in is that this logo will be printed on t-shirts, chef coats, aprons, and company uniforms. We're not a clothing line but would like our logo attractive enough were people would consider buying it as a apparel line if printed on a t-shirt or such.
