Southern Theatre FestivalLogo Design Contest

WILL BE PAID! Enter soon and often! Maybe STF standing alone.

Don't forget to check out the links provided - want a handwritten scripty kinda look, but still a little elegant. so far #1 is warm - but not hot yet.

@ Ape don't really want any icon shapes - pretty much just wordmark, just lettering with some meat to it, but not serif or too bold

I know Southern tends to mean western at times, but want to be more elegant but free flowing,

Yup all clear as mud right. - kinda why I started this one, having the same problems visualizing this as well.

If you're thinking of using any theatre reference - a hint of a Grand Curtain might be tried (they are usually dark Maroon or Burgandy colored).

No drama mask (Tragedy / Comedy) Thanks

Everyone - try the "Southern in Black or REALLY dark burgundy and the "theatre festival" in grey or maroon red

here are some additional lettering style ideas - samples of type:

fonts:

maybe try the STF letters as an iconnish part of the logo?

This theatre will cover all bases - so one week it could be Shakespeare and the next week a Symphony concert and the next week a school Christmas play - so no real help there Issues, sorry

Would like to see Using the letters STF by themselves.

you guys are all so great! Thanks for helping out with this contest! Wish you all could win - hey maybe I can ask Tyler to give everyone a gold trophy and split the prize so you each get like $3 - my wife just said that was a bad idea, I'll trust her on that.

Maybe the font style I need is more "calligraphy"

For all - Thanks again for the work submitted! Will be having a meeting on Monday morning and I will have final input or revisions for the top 5.

Thank You, Thank You, Thank You, Mike

Thank you all for your time and designs! This was a VERY interesting point of view for me and I have a better understanding of how LT works (from both sides). The experience proves that LT is the best site of its kind!

Tyler, Ivan, and the rest - including the designers - should be very proud! I know I am.
