Holy SmokeLogo Design Contest

Hot Food, Cool Music, Live!

A family friendly neighborhood bar, restaurant & bbq joint offering the best of Contemporary Southern, urban casual and American Pub fare that happens to be a great stage for live music and entertainment all rolled into one.

not sure, but, the colors red, orange, yellow anchored with darker subtext could be a player. I am really open to see what comes back through competition, but, I am not married to anything with too many colors because of planned branding and establishing creative use in other visual mediums (i.e. embroidery, web, print, web etc.)

I have a drawing and brief planned business overview that I would like all participants to see. It can be sent via email by contacting me at chefsoul1@comcast.net. Basically I want to see the name "holy smoke" and I would like to see the final logo underscored or associated with a music stanza that has a couple scattered musical notes and the words "bar", "restaurant" & "bbq" as part of the music stanza. Perhaps an artist's graphic of a halo or smoke effect can be part of the final design (but you will see this in the scanned drawing I will share with all contestants). Too much can be lost in intricacies so if the smoke or halo does not work it is no great loss. There can be a whimsy to the logo, but, it must be easily read from a distance and not lost in something as small as an embroidered piece or letterhead. We will have corporate, municipal and federal clients, so I do want a logo that is recognizable, but, not too ostentatious to be boardroom or easily baby shower to meet our private party and and event clients perception.
