Color Preferences
I am looking for a pictorial mark that shows the bust of a Victorian woman wearing a huge hat. We have included a public domain image (For Attitude) that could be modified for this use. We have the right to use this image as does any other member of the public. Because this image is in the public domain it is available for anyone to use - so we cannot technically certify we "own" the copyright.

One possibility is that the hat has an American flag incorporated. Perhaps the flag morphs into feathers and/or netting that wraps around the woman's hat and head. Her expression is very important - must show bravado, strength and look the audience straight in the eye with attitude and sparkle - note the hand under the chin and the direct stare. I am attracted to the expression on her face and my characters are similarily bold.
Our Ideas & Additional Information
Some basic ideas are attached see Contest Discussion Below. the image entitled For Attitude captures the look, feel and expression we are hoping for in the pictoral mark. We can use this public domain image as a base for modification.

I’m looking for a pictorial mark that shows the bust of a Victorian woman wearing a huge hat. One possibility is that the woman’s hat be red/white blue or an American flag that morphs into feathers and/or netting that cascade around the woman’s hat and head. The expression of the woman is most important to me – must show bravado, strength, look the audience straight in the eye with attitude and sparkle in the eye – note the hand under the chin as well and the direct stare. I am attracted to this expression on her face – the characters in the shows are similarly bold.

We have an image (named For Attitude in our uploaded files) that we thought might inspire ideas for a pictoral mark.

Please also see our website at http://hatboxwilltravel.com for an idea of the dimensions of a logo that would work for this company and for more of an idea of what Gay Storm's company does.

Thank you.

It seems you are asking for a complex illustration on this contest. You may consider raising the prize amount to get better results as this request is for a much more complicated drawing that will take much more time than the average logo.

Thanks Business Builders for your comment. WE DON'T REQUIRE A COMPLEX ILLUSTRATION- we are just looking for the tone and attitude of this picture. Unfortunately, the performing arts - while having high visibility - have tight margins so we are very much hoping to find a fellow artist who will be inspired to help us find a solution. Thanks again.

Thanks for the comment Scott! We've revised our expectations but left one image for inspiration about tone and attitude Gay envisions for the company. We are very open to designer suggestions on a logo (even the type of logo) - please take at look at the site at http://hatboxwilltravel.com.

Our apologies designers, the client for this contest has been unable to gain access online and I have been out in the wilderness, so feedback has been scarce on our part. Designs are going in a good direction. We will get back with more feedback later today guaranteed Pacific Coast Time. The word "HatBox" is indeed one word and contains two capital letters. L

We would like to have the logotype to be able to stand alone without the illustration as well for certain uses in collateral materials just FYI.

For all designer's Client is preferring a more "feminine" font for HatBox. Also, please try a variation of your favorite design adding Gay Storm's in small print above the logotype for HatBox Will Travel.

We need the name HatBox Will Travel to stick in the observer's mind and eye. HatBox is the obvious shortened version of the business name as well.

The tagline is a critical clue as to what HatBox does and is designed to appeal to the target audience.

Attitude of the illustration and energy and movement in the logo design helps communicate the dynamism of Gay Storm's performances.

Because we had computer issues and couldn't access the contest for a couple of days - we've asked for an extension from logotournament but no guarantee. Hopeful.

General comment re: the figure: We are hoping for a bit of "attitude" in our illustration - to clarify we'd like to see a bit of playfulness such as a wink or a "twinkle in the eye" - this captures the dynamism and sense of humor of our namesake.

Entry #79 best captures the attitude that Gay is seeking.
