NWA Boutique ShowLogo Design Contest

We are an upscale bi-annual gift and craft market targeted toward women ages 25-55, featuring hard-to-find and one-of-a-kind gifts, home decor, clothing, jewelry, art, vintage items, stationery and more.

Any trendy colors are great: Turquoise is huge right now. Also, lime green, orange, fuschia, classic black. Muted palettes are great too. We are open to your suggestions.

If this logo were to stand on its own.... people should know what the "NWA Boutique Show" is... A SHOPPING EVENT. We really want to see sort of image/character/icon that says "shopping" loud and clear to our customers. We want it to be 100% evident that this is a place our customers can come to SHOP... not just a fashion show or exhibition.

YOUR LOGO will be THE springboard for the ENTIRE look and decor of the show. We will carry it's colors and overall vibe throughout the signage, accessories, booths, etc.

An icon, character or graphic of some sort is important to us... anything as long as it is not a straight "wordmark." A shopping bag? A woman shopping? A grouping of boutique storefronts? Icons representing our merchants products? We know you will have dozens of ideas... YOU ARE THE CREATIVE MINDS... those are just a few to get you thinking.

Important: Though the full name of our show is the "Northwest Arkansas Boutique Show"... you may choose to downplay the "Northwest Arkansas" part and use "NWA" if you'd like. We'd like to look at both options. The words "boutique show" should have more prominence.

This logo will be used in women's magazine ads, direct mail, invitations, web, etc. It shouldn't be overly wide in case we place a small vertical magazine add.
