Tight Ends Sports Bar & GrillLogo Design Contest

Tight Ends is an elevated sports bar and grill. We’re redefining the “sports bar” category by combining upscale aesthetics, high-quality food and beverage, and a lively, energetic atmosphere of scantily-clad female servers.

Our brand is built around a playful, slightly provocative name, executed with sophistication, not kitsch. The experience feels closer to modern, luxury hotel lobby bars or upscale sports lounges: modern, clean, stylish, and welcoming to both game-day crowds and everyday diners.

Our target audience includes sports fans, young professionals, travelers, and game-day visitors looking for a premium environment at approachable price points. We serve guests who appreciate high-quality food (elevated wings, smashburgers, shareables), great drinks, and a comfortable, upscale space to watch sports and socialize.

I’d like the logo to use a palette built around a modern, upscale, and sophisticated look. Overall, the colors should feel clean, confident, and elevated rather than loud or overly bright.

One concept I’m drawn to is a clean, modern silhouette of a woman from behind, subtly looking back over her shoulder. The style should feel tasteful, confident, and suggestive without being cartoonish or overtly sexualized - more of an iconic, simplified outline than detailed artwork.

Below the silhouette or slightly overlapping, I like the idea of using bold, athletic-inspired typography that’s slightly pinched or tapered in the center, similar to classic sports bar or arena lettering. The overall feel should balance playful attitude with an elevated, modern aesthetic.

I’m open to other creative interpretations as long as the logo remains clean, refined, and fits an upscale sports bar environment.

The logo will be used on exterior signage for the building, coasters, bar mirrors, and the words will be used on black employee uniforms, so the design should keep those different uses in mind.
