Thank you for being the first to follow my wish for a "celebrity silhouette".
Regarding Font we want something more powerful than you just offered. it can be simple but should be strong. and we want the "every guest is a celebrity" in it.
Regarding Pictorial/Character:
Frankly speaking, we have two things in mind at the moment, Can't decide yet, have to wait for suggestions from the designers to see what's eventually fitting better:
a) a serious approach: a pictorial, pretty much the way you have built the Cocktail lady. Maybe her next to the logo.
b) a funny approach: a comic/vector illustration charater, or even better a couple. Two young backpackers in tuxedo and dress approaching the strong "red carpet hostels" font while posing for the cameras.
feel free to hand in what you have in mind to either of these options!
That was me that should say sorry. I have some works that already in the top rank in some other contests. That make me a little busy and hard to choose which contest that I should be handle first. I am so sorry about that. At last, I make a priority based on contest end, so I may be need one more time before starting new work and idea for you. I hope you understand. I promise you to submit my new work (with your latest suggestion included) tomorrow.
