The Alberto Knot
What We Do
We are a start up company who has developed a fishing tool that allows anyone to tie any fishing knot, whether inline or terminal. To expand on our merchandise, we would like to create a fish "persona" for each individual knot (of which there are many). Fishermen are proud of the knots they tie because it is really the weakest link between them and the one that got away. Our goal is to have a family of "sea creatures" that portray the spirit of the knot they represent.

Color Preferences
Our current colors can be seen in the attached image. I would like to stay with this color scheme if at all possible. Primarily orange and blue.
Our Ideas & Additional Information
The first three files attached show the logo for our brand The Knothead. We would like to maintain the same colors/font/style to create brand recognition. The fourth file is just an example of a knot called the blood knot that we were putting some sketches on paper. It is here just as an example. We would like to see the fish/sea creature with a persona that resembles the name given to it. We want fishermen to see this fish and wear it proudly, whether it would be on hat, a sticker, or other fishing items. It can be funny or serious. We would also like to see an image of the knot as well as the name along with it. Have fun with it.

Hi All - quick update. I noticed I made an error in the brief. The first knot we are building a persona around is the Alberto Knot, not The Blood Knot. I apologize for the mistake.

Just as some background on this knot to give you some ideas, I pulled this from the internet regarding the creator of the knot.

The Alberto knot was invented by "Crazy Alberto" Knie over 20 years ago and is now becoming popular among all anglers. When asked what made him invent this knot Knie responded, "Since the inception of the super lines there was no real mono to braided fishing line knots

Have fun with the ideas - we are looking for originality and something that will make fishermen proud to display it, because that is the line they tie. Hope this helps!

The two that are ranked currently.
1) Love the creativity of the sea creature. Also love the size of the knot name under the fish. If the knot name was the Alberto Knot and was written with the same font as our company logo, this would be heading in the right direction.

2) We like the style of the name because it incorporates the font style of our company logo. I would like to see the knot name larger, as we are promoting the knot. Obviously, there is no sea creature, so that needs to be added, but for the name, it is heading in the right direction.

Hi All - we are really looking for some creativity within the design of the "sea creature". We don't want what we already have or a modification of it. We are looking for originality in the design. There will be several to follow, and we want each to have its own personality. It can be funny, serious, strong, goofy, or whatever. At the end of the day, we want it to somehow represent the knot and make fishermen proud to display it.

We will maintain the branding within the name of the knot by using the same colors and font with our brand The Knothead.
