Designers, we decided to extend the contest 5 more days because although we are extremely happy with the current designs, we would like to expand upon some of the alternatives.
Alternative a) More designs that shy away from the animal concept. We are interested in designs focused on anything outdoors, such as a lake, a river etc. Remember that our company will not only be offering hunts, instead we plan to offer fishing expeditions and even bird watching trips. This of course implies that our logo should not be constrained to one particular species, but instead should focus on a more broad outdoors-oriented theme.
Alternative b) In keeping with the white-tail deer theme, we would like to include other species in the logo. For example, we imagine a flock of quail, dove, or ducks in the background of a majestic white-tail deer. Because our company is focused on offering an innovative business model that is not centered around one particular species, we would love our logo to be descriptive of that general idea. Even though we are looking for more animals in the logo, it is critical too keep it clean and simple, KEY element here is: to avoid a logo that is too complex and “busy” We are looking for something that will be easy to print on shirts, hats, flyers, etc…
Maybe if we have a "compass" in the logo the whole perspective changes and the focus is taken away from the animal and now involves a whole different perception
Alternative c) Most logos in the outfitter industry are focused on a particular animal species. Any creativity that would help to differntiate/ distinguish our logo from the rest of the competitors out there, would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you very much for all of your effort so far!!!
